Yesterday we had the coolest rainbow here in Orem. It was actually a double but wasn't easy to see from our place and the photo didn't pick it up at all. Utah's been so rainy this spring you'd think it was Seattle! It's actually been nice to have it cool. It's made it a little tough for evening concerts. I hope Shawn Colvin's is dry next Saturday!
This is the really late part. Tuesday we saw Matt pitch for the first time. He does a great job. His team lost 7 to 2 but it was mainly due to poor hitting and too many failed attempts to steal bases. He also gave up the best hit ball I've seen since Matt started playing little league. The guy nailed a hard thrown ball and knocked it out in left center past the 2 outfielders his team had (they played with 8 people that night). It rolled out to the fence for an in the park homer that scored 2 runs. Can't really fault Matt for that one. Like I said it was a well thrown ball. The guy swung hard and level like I always preach to Matt. Bat and ball met perfectly. It really was a thing of beauty. Too bad it was at Matt's expense. Matt really has about the best control I've seen among the pitchers we've watched this year. He oughta stick with it!

That is a pretty rainbow. We've had unusually cool weather here as well, but not very rainy. It has been nice to be in the 80's and 90's instead of the 100's or 110's. Matt looks like a serious baseball player. I enjoyed the pictures.
Thanks for the pictures. Matt looks totally legit! Those boys are growing up so fast!
There's even better news, Matt made the all star team so that means his playing hasn't ended for this season!
Wow!! Good for Matt!!
Congrats to Matt! I saw that rainbow in its double glory on the way back to SLC after the reception. It was impressive! I guess if you were in the right place, it stretched from one new temple to the other in the SLC valley.
