A very boring day subbing at Cedar Valley. Sometimes it just feels like a big waste of time.

This technically happened on November 3, but whatever. It's too cute not to post. Olive was giving Brad moral support during the tense final inning of the World Series Game 4.

It's a good thing it's Halloween. Luke's carved pumpkin has had it.

On our drive home from St. George, we stopped at Burger King for lunch. Luke bet Brad $100 he couldn't eat a whole Ghost Pepper burger, and Brad stepped up. It turns out it wasn't that hot. Luke still paid up.

More tournament play in Hurricane, UT. The opposing catcher inspired Brad and me to sing the Star Wars theme song every time he appeared.

This will be Luke's last game with the Tigers. He never quite connected with his teammates, and the games just weren't fun for him. At the end of this game, Luke greeted us with a grinning "The gospel is TRUE!" Apparently, he was really worried he wouldn't do well at his last at-bat, so he offered a little prayer before stepping up to the plate. He ended up hitting a ground ball to the first baseman, who bobbled it and didn't make the out. Then Luke stole second, which distracted the opposing team from the runner on third who made the winning run. So while I'm sure Heavenly Father isn't one to make some boys fail so others win, it sure was nice for Luke to end this season feeling successful. It's been a rough fall for baseball.

Baseball tournament in Mesquite, NV. An absolutely beautiful day.
