Can't say you weren't warned.......

I told you there were baseball pictures coming.... I wasn't kidding.



Catcher. Loved playing catcher. His favorite position. And he was pretty good at it, didn't seem to mind getting hit occasionally...weird, but true.


These were the smallest baseball pants we could find...and they were baggy.



What a swing!

Seriously, this kids has NO butt. I'm not kidding.

Waiting to here when the first place decision game was going to be...

Ready to run....

Again, no butt. Where he got this gene, I have no idea becasue it certainly wasn't from me.

I think this may be my favorite picture of the whole season though :)

Again with the swing...

So good at cheering on his team-mates!

Must. Slide. In. The. Dirt. It's a complution, I tell you. The ball is no where near, and yet he slides...

In the middle of a game, and he stops to cheese for Mom and the camera. So cool.

Catching again...

Super, awesome, great coach! Can't say enough good things about him.

Oh yeah, and those are First Place trophies they are holding :)

Again, in the dirt....

This smile makes all the late nights, mosquitoe bites and sun burns worth it.

I admit it...

I watch So You Think You Can Dance. There I said it. Judge me if you want, but I won't apologize for loving it :)
Anyway, I love watching dance (I think it has to do with the fact that I can't dance), and this show is great because it helps undiscovered dancers get exposure...sorta like American Idol.

So far this season, there have been two dances that have actually made me cry. If you have a few minutes, watch these...


Melissa and Ade - Dance about a women's fight against Breast Cancer

Kupono and Kayla - Dance about Addiction

Powerful and moving.

Scrappin' Fool :)

Ok, so the weekend of July 10th, we had a scrappy weekend retreat....and I actually scrapbooked! I got pages done...see:

oh! and fair warning to all three of you that still check this blog :) ... a boatload of baseball pictures coming up soon....

My 16 year old…..

I now have a 16 year old. He is an officially licensed driver. He bought a truck today. I’m more than a little overwhelmed. I mean, how did I end up with a 16-year old that can drive and owns a truck and has a job? He’s just a rolly-polly fat baby that was just born two days ago, right? No? Huh. Interesting. But seriously, this kids of mine…the 16 year old one? He is a pretty great kid. Sure we fight and bicker and argue…show me a teenager and parent that doesn’t. But he is really a good kid. He helps around the house, has a job, has a hobby that won’t land him in jail, doesn’t drink or smoke or do drugs, goes where he says he’s going to and stays there, doesn’t abuse his phone, gets decent grades…. yep, I’m pretty darn lucky.
