Game On




Last Saturday was the first of 6 Tee Ball games this season and we are the luckiest team in the league to have 3 of those 6 games at 8:30 a.m. So the first team sport we sign one of the boys up for is at the same time as Boy 2's swimming lessons, which means right of the bat we are splitting-up to go in different directions with each kid. Hi honey, bye honey!



The game was as good as the practices. 3 kids jumping on the same ball, kids just watching it roll by, running the bases in the outfield because they can't find 2nd base. Boy 1 had quite a cheering section, Carey, Boy2, Grampy Dave, Grammy, Aunt Sheila, Ron and myself. Grampy Carl did show-up but walked down the wrong trail to get to the field and said screw this and went back to his car. The field is a long way from the parking area, you know it makes the most sense having the smallest kids walk the furthest.


In the field Boy 1 played Center Field, 3rd Base and Pitcher. His attention span is best served in the infield. When in Center Field there was alot of digging in the dirt, watching planes and at one point he just dropped his glove to run over to me for a trip into the woods.



Shoulders squared, eyes on the ball, head down.........great form!



Max...Hey...Max...Max...put your glove....Max...Max...the batter is the other way...........Nevermind!

The Big Gift x2


Boy 2 had been doing such a good job riding Boy 1's 4 wheeler and wanting to be on it every free moment we thought it only appropriate he should have his own. Initially we were going to get him a John Deere battery operated tractor, and I think Carey believes we still should have, but I thought having a 4 wheeler like Boy 1 that goes the same speed would be best.

I'm not sure Boy 2 knew what to think on his birthday when we opened the garage and there were 2 of them their, he had no reaction. He just starred at them without saying anything. Once we told him it was his for his birthday he jumped right on and was happy as a clam. He is on the thing every chance, hell him riding his forces Boy 1 out of the house which is great.


Boy 2 is Three

Thinking the 5 years flying by for Boy 1 was amazing it's nothing compared to Boy 2. The time has been so crazy, thank god for pictures because I swear sometimes I forget about his first couple of years.


Overnight he has gone from a baby in diapers to a little man sneaking behind the garage to go pee! He is changing every single day. He will quitely watch somebody do something and he will go right out and do it, you are left wondering how did he learn that.
