Baseball

As many of you know, I have started baseball. I am 1-1. My first game I lost 4-12 and my most recent game vs. the Rays I won 6-3. I played first, Short stop, Third, and Catcher. In game #1 In the bottom of the first I caught a line-drive to get three outs. I stole two bases and tried to steal home but got thrown out and bruised up my leg.Also in game one I hit a double and went 2 for 2. In game #2 I got walked and we only have 6 innings and in the bottom of the fifth we were lousing 0-3 but then we caught up and won with a rally. almost 4 kids stole home and were safe. On the other team I knew two kids. One kid was in my class and the other was in my class in first grade. Well it is 10:45 and my dad is getting on me about writing so much and saying that it s enough so lets just cut to the chase. I would like it if almost everyone could come to one of my games. My next game is at 2:00 pm. at red tail park off wildcat and Posten. you can call to see when you can come to one of my games. Hope you can come!

Sincerely, -Trent-

p.s. like the Mustangs?

Capitol dome tour

Dad's always asking for more pictures, so here's some from the adventure of the week. I went on a tour of the Capitol dome. Supposedly it's kind of a vip tour and your congressman has to go with you, but I'm not a vip and the congressman didn't go with us. Either way it was pretty neat to see some of the inner workings of the capitol and some of the paintings up close.

Part of the staircase that takes you up

The gap between the inner dome that you see from the inside and the outer dome that you see from the outside

Freedom vanquishing tyranny and kingly power

The capitol rotunda 170' below. I resisted the urge to spit/throw things

View from the top, just under the statue of Freedom

Downtown DC. Everything is much shorter than you'd expect in a big city. I've heard there's some kind of code about keeping everything shorter than the Capitol

A Change of Scenery

New back yard view

New front yard view

We had a busy day yesterday. I mowed the lawn, weeded the flowers, sprayed the trees for bugs and then started the move. I moved all the vehicles in the front and then backed up to the pop-up to pull it out. Naturally it had two flat tires. I pulled it about 10 feet and it started sliding into the neighbors fence. Dan (the neighbor) saw our predicament and came over and helped change one of the tires. We pulled it to the driveway and changed the other tire and all is well. Matt thinks he can resurrect it so we will pull it to Post Falls in the near future. I then backed up to Grandpa Backlund's boat, hooked on and pulled it out front. We are getting it ready for Uncle John to take to Utah. We will probably have to put two new tires on it and repack the bearings. Then we moved the Ranchero into the back yard and we plan to purchase a nice vehicle cover so it doesn't look too red-neck. Then Seth and I "planted" the fire hydrant near the bottom of the deck stairs. A big thank you to Seth for his help and muscles. After that I came into the house and crashed. I think I am getting old. Mom is out of school and looking forward to her vacation. Kimbre called yesterday and we may change our vacation plans a couple of days so they can bless their baby on the 17th of July. We'll let you know. Have a good week.
