Mike Tyson of Baseball

Stockton found this weird Winnie the Pooh baseball game. He became obsessed with it. It is so funny. He can not beat Christopher Robin. He came soooo close today! He is given 50 pitches and he has to hit home runs on 40 of those pitches. Regular hits and foul balls also count against you. Today he was on his last ball and had 39 home runs. He didn't make it. Hahaha! He is so funny when he talks about it. He actually said, "Christopher Robin is the Mike Tyson of Baseball!" Oh man, we laughed and laughed and laughed.

Jorja and Preston had their youth activity today. Jorja was actually able to go for the first time in months! It was a combined activity with the Wanderwood Ward. They went sledding. I went and bought two new sleds for the kids, since all of our sleds are up at the cabin. Never hurts to have more. Welp, these sleds didn't make it. Both of them broke badly. Preston's broke the first time he sat on it before the activity even started. Jorja let him use hers. He was able to go down the hill a couple of times before it broke again. Jorja found friends to ride with. I think they had a good time. Jorja stayed up late working on homework. She has worked so hard to pull her grades up. She was so excited today. She has pulled all of her grades up to an A except math. English might be an A-. That is crazy! She has worked so hard. Mike helped Jorja apply for an exchange student program. I really hope she gets it. I think that would be such an amazing experience. It would be for a month in summer to go to Taiwan. It's kind of a leadership/service thing. She would go to ten different high schools and meet with the Taiwan students. I hope she gets it. She had to turn in three letters of recommendation and a letter of authority. We weren't sure what the letter of authority meant. It's hard to figure out from the website. Most of it is in Chinese. Anyway, Jorja went and talked to Mr. Kemp, one of the vice principals at Alta. She got him to write that for her. Now it is all nicely submitted. She spent the rest of the night working on an English essay that was due at 11:59. I am so looking forward to this weekend. It will be nice for her to have a break. She needs it.
