Well Let Me Try Today

I started to blog yesterday and something pulled me away and I never got back to finish.... so I will just start over! We had a great weekend... No baseball, everything was rained out. I love to go to my boys games, but every once in a while it is fun just to hang around! The boys had Hunter and Brandon over on Saturday, I took 6 kids to Walmart ( i might be a little crazy), all the boys got airsoft guns~~ O-my did they have a fun time!! And they still are having a great time with the new guns!!! Joshua had a game last night. They pulled out a win in the bottom of the last inning!! They kinda looked like the Bad News Bears for a little while! Joshua did hit a triple his last at bat. So that was a great way to end! Below are some pictures of the game last night.

Ahh MISSED the ball - went right between his legs!!

This is sweet Anna - her brother Scott was up to bat!!

Bad case of the Monday's....

I am sleepy this morning!! I was up until 11:45 helping Alex get his book report finished that was due TODAY!!! Of course this was assigned SEVERAL weeks ago!!!
We had a great weekend - My mom came in town - It was great to visit with her and James
Alex had practice on Saturday and my good friends, The Duncans took Alex because Daniell was out of town. He got hit was a ball in the eye! Of course the coach calls Daniell (not sure why they did not call me) then Daniell calls me - I then call the only mom that was at the practice - she said the bleeding had stopped and they got it all cleaned up and patched! He wanted to continue with practice - so we let him!! Today his eye is swollen, black and blue! But he is fine - he probably thinks I'm crazy because all evening Saturday I was asking him if if felt ok, if he had a headache, was he seeing OK??? I think I was driving him crazy!!
Saturday night David made burgers, Daniell got back in town just in time for dinner! After we had a nice visit with my mom and James we headed home before the storms!! OOOOO we also verified that a tow hitch is NOT a standard item on Ford F150!! HaHa!!! That's for you dad!! HaHa!!
Yesterday we praised God for Jesus - had a great family day (excluding the book report) - Daniell made a GREAT dinner -
This week looks just as busy as any - Joshua has games Mon and Thurs - Alex has a tournament this coming weekend!

We had a so-so weekend~~~ Alex had two games on Saturday, they won one and lost won... So we played at 11:00 on Sunday. It was a very close game. We went into extra innings, but ended up losing by 2 runs! Alex hit a double, which I was very proud of him!!
Friday night I started tearing down wallpaper in the front entry way of my house, with the help of Kris and 5 kiddos. Kids are great at destruction!!! I started to texture the walls on Sunday evening, while listening to the boys play some "shoot em up" video game with a couple of friends!
Last night Joshua had a game, they were not doing very well. Then at the very end of the game Joshua hit an in-the-park home run!!! Mayson had a friend come to the game with her, that was nice so then she had someone to play with. It was really windy and cold!!!
I started on our taxes last night ~ ARRGGGG ~ nothing like waiting til the last minute.....

Second year in a row CHAMPIONS!!!

Mid-Week....Right??

Well yesterday was non-stop! This is so typical Joshua.... His teacher sent me an email with the subject line said "our friend" (i just love his teacher) So, basically the email said that Joshua had some unfinished work (surprising -NOT) she kindly listed what he was going to need to finish as homework - three things. When he got home I asked for the first thing on her list - his response was " I didn't bring that home". On to number 2, his response was the same. And yes you guessed it same response for #3. I don't know what to do with him!!! He is going to drive me CRAZY!
Right after school Hunter and Brandon came over to play for the evening and gave Alex a birthday gift (I think he liked it better than ANYTHING else he got) ~ Those boys have such a great time together!!!! We all went to the library for Madysons weekly reading with Sampson - the boys played outside. The we grabbed pizza to eat in the car and went to Kendra's softball game. They won 11-6!!!! Home at about 8. The kiddos all played videos games, then it was the usual evening routine.... showers and bed!!!
This morning I woke up with a headache.... YUCK!!! I would like to know if the Scholastic Book fairs ever GO AWAY!!! My kids tell me this morning we need to go to the school early and "look" at the book fair breakfast!! So, of course they each got to pick out a book, they had a few mini muffins and off to school. And off to work for me!!!
