The Judge Bulldogs won the South Tahoe Shootout! Woo Hoo! They had a record of 7-1 with their only loss coming in the last seconds of the game after being tied up. We had such a great time. I’ll post photos tonight after getting them developed. Madi’s team Utah Sting did well in the State Fastpitch Tournament, but were knocked out on Saturday morning. Bummer! I’m back at work today (UGH!!!!!), trying to catch up, so I will post more later!

Yeah, yeah… I know….I’m a day late! But that is typical, I’m ALWAYS a day late and a dollar short! It is the story of my life!
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! We sure did. We spent part of the weekend in Pocatello, Idaho watching Tyson play basketball. Had a few trips to the pool, a FUN family BBQ at my parents house on Sunday, a GREAT BBQ with the Meskes, Hurtys, Webbers & Beplates on Monday night and we then headed up to Eaglewood Golf Course for a great fireworks display, and just hung around the house yesterday relaxing. I spent a few more hours at the pool yesterday, and then Madi, Carl and I BBQ’d pork chops and rented a movie to watch. Pretty low key. Tyson met some friends in Salt Lake and watched more fireworks at Sugar House park. All in all… a very NICE weekend/holiday!
And Tyson and I are off tomorrow for…….LAKE TAHOE! Woo Hoo! Tyson is playing in a basketball tournament with the high school team, and I am going a long to watch. We fly out tomorrow morning. While we are gone, Madi’s softball team is playing in the State Fast Pitch Tournament. I hope they do AWESOME!
A few pictures to share ~ Madi after her first softball game with the high school team (doesn’t she look thrilled to be having her picture taken!) Ü
Two of Madi’s campaign posters for Student Council (I never got around to posting before)
And one last photo ~ looking outside the balcony of our hotel room in Steamboat Springs. How gorgeous is that?
Also, thank you all for your thoughts and prayers for my special friend needing them. She is doing better, but still needing all the prayers she can get! THANKS!
Happy Wednesday!
Ali
At least with this blog! Well, I know there are other things that I am definitely SLACKING on, but as far as YOU know….this is it!!!! Ü
Madi and I spent the weekend in Boise with her softball team, the UTAH STING. They were playing in the Boise Blast Triple Crown Qualifier Tournament. AND…. they WON! WOO HOO! Go Sting! The girls went undefeated and swept the competition! They played so well, and we were so excited for them! It was SO HOT though! UGH! The championship game was @ 3:00 in the afternoon on Sunday. The poor girls (and us parents!) were melting! Ü SO… HUGE CONGRATS to Madison for a great tournament and a FUN weekend together!
Also, CONGRATS to Tyson. He was named SECOND TEAM ALL STATE in BASEBALL in the Salt Lake Tribune today! Here is the link: All State Baseball . Here is the little ‘blurb’ mentioning Tyson:
Second Team
Kelly Garcia, Senior, Judge Memorial
Tyler Griffin, Senior, Tooele
Kelby Hulet, Senior, Canyon View
Matt Lundin, Junior, Dixie
Adam Martinez, Senior, Carbon
Guy Mecham, Junior, Wasatch
Tyson Moll, Soph., Judge Memorial
AJ Nunley, Senior, Tooele
A few weeks ago, he was also named Honorable Mention All State in the Deseret News, which was very exciting for him.
In other news….Madi is going to play her first softball game with the high school summer team tomorrow night. EEEK! Even though she is only 13.5, and won’t be going to high school for another year, she has been asked to help out the team. They play in an 18U division, so it should be interesting. Madi has been playing comp. softball for the last 5-6 years, so she should be able to hang in there. Tyson had football camp at Idaho State last week, and a basketball camp/tournament at the Universtiy of Utah over the weekend, so that has kept him extra busy as well! He’ll be home for a few days, and then head back to Idaho State (why Idaho?) with the high school team for another basketball camp over the weekend. No STING softball (other than practice) this week, so that is nice!
One more thing…. if you are the ‘praying type’, please offer up some prayers for a friend and fellow scrapbooker. She is really, really needing some healthy vibes and prayers right now! THANKS!
HAPPY MONDAY!!!!!!
Ali
Today marks the first full week of summer for us! YIPPPEEEEE!!!! No getting Madi up and ready for school! No super early morning wake-ups for Tyson! Woo Hoo! I little more sleep for me! We are still crazy busy, with baseball, football, basketball and softball…. BUT NO HOMEWORK! Dude, that is the best thing EVAH!
Madi and I were in Steamboat Springs, Colorado last weekend for a Triple Crown Softball Tournament, while Carl and Tyson were in Logan for a varsity basketball tournament. Once again…. we were both watching sports, with several hundred miles between us. Such is life for the Moll family! Ü If you have never been to Steamboat Springs, I highly suggest a visit. A very quaint ski town. BEA-U-TIFUL! Although, going in June is best…. it is VERY GREEN! Going in August is VERY BROWN! Ü I have a gorgeous photo that I took outside the balcony of our hotel room, overlooking the ski mountain after a rainstorm….with a gorgeous rainbow! However, I my camera is at home. Bummer! I’ll leave you with a few softball photos from a few weeks ago. Carl and I were at Madi’s softball tournament TOGETHER! I can prove it…. I have a photo!:
And here is the lovely and talented Madi (looking less than thrilled!) along with her friend and partner in crime, Megan:
No softball games this weekend (Yea!), only practice tonight, and then a baseball game tonight, along with basketball practice tomorrow for Tyson….then Tyson leaves for football camp on Sunday (for a week!) and we’ll be in Boise for softball next weekend. Fun times! Happy Friday all!
Ali
CONGRATS to Madison! She was elected to the 8th Grade Student Council at her school for next year! She wasn’t sure she wanted to run for Student Council, but she decided to give it a go! She was very nervous for her speech this morning (and told me her lip was quivering the whole time she was reading), but SHE DID IT! WOO HOO! We are so proud of you Madi! Great job!
Ali
I have a few photos from the last few weeks that I want to share!
This is my niece ERIN! Isn’t she the CUTEST?!?!? This is her after receiving her First Holy Communion last weekend! She is wearing the same dress that Madi wore for her First Holy Communion, and she even let Aunt Ali do her hair! That is major!
Here is a picture of Madi at the St. George Tournament a few weeks ago. She isn’t normally a catcher, but she was warming up her friend Megan who was going in to pitch in the next inning. She is concentrating so hard! Ü
Can you stand a few more baseball photos? Here is a picture of Tyson and his friend Chad after their win (HUGE UPSET) against Pineview. They are each holding their home run balls. Tyson hit two, and Chad hit one. How freaking cool is that? The second picture is of Tyson and his friend Emma. She was wearing a shirt that said "MOLL #3" on the back of it, at the Judge vs. Wasatch game that we WON, which put us into the championship game! There was a group of sophomore girls that wore different shirts each day, with Tyson’s name on it, along with his friends Joe and Lewis. Cute, huh?!?
And, how sad is this photo? This is after we lost to Dixie in the Championship game. The boys were so down. I think everyone shed a few tears!
Only one more photo, I promise! This is what you see if you look down the street at the end of my driveway. Craziness. The whole street is torn up, and has been for the last month. It is supposed to stay this way until the end of July. What you don’t see is, if you look to the left you would see 3 bulldozers! It makes it very tough to get out of my driveway in and out of the driveway! Yikes!
That’s it for now! Thanks for taking a small (boring) peek into my life the last few weeks! Happy Wednesday (night)! Ü

In other news:
~Madi begins her Spring League Softball tonight. She is sooooo close to hitting a homerun too! In her tournament in St. George two weekends ago, she had two huge hits that bounced right before the fence and then bounced over! Two ground-rule doubles!
~That same weekend, Carl hit two homeruns in the "Corporate Games", as his softball team won the softball championship. Who would’ve thunk a 40 year old still had something up his sleeve!
~Me, you ask? No homeruns here. Bummer. I think I’m over the age limit for that!
HAPPY WEDNESDAY!!!!!!!
Ali
