Take me out to the ball game

We have been in t-ball land the past week and 1/2. Owen has had so much fun but I will not tell a lie, I will be glad when it is over. T-ball tournaments are pricey and stressful. It is not like a regular season, where games are free. We have to drive to play and pay 4$ per game! So it hasn't been easy on the wallet. I wouldn't dare miss a game though, not matter how much it cost. And let me talk about the stress. During the reg. season our t-ball games were very laid back, absolutely no stress. We had little boys playing in the dirt, picking grass, and dancing. Can you guess which one of those Owen did?And imagine our surprise when they called asking Owen to be on the all star team.  But in tournament ball it is serious business! You want the boys to do a good job and represent their district. All of the parents are yelling, umpires are not always fair, and we have played teams that look as though they could play against the braves. Last night we finally won our first game. It was so nice for our boys to finally bring home that win. However, they have been having so much fun I don't think they have cared or noticed that we have been clobbered every game, until last night. T-ball is suppose to be fun and we are for sure having it. He started out playing in the outfield but has recently been playing catcher, which he thinks is so awesome! We have to stay on top of him to pay attention because my friendly boy likes to have discussions with the umpire the entire game. 4 games left and it will all be over....well until next year.
Ready to run into home

It's summer and where do we begin...


  Even though we are actually on week 2 of our summer, I feel like it is now just beginning. It looks as though June will be busy. Owen was an alternate for t-ball all stars. A little boy dropped out so now we will be doing all stars the next few weeks. I'll admit I'm not over the moon about him playing but it will give him some tournament experience and he has an excellent coach. We didn't practice at all during the regular season, and his new coach practices 3 times a week and spends a lot of time helping Owen be the best he can be.
  This weekend was awesome. Wayne had a three day weekend due to memorial day and it was a lot of fun having him home. On Sunday I babysat one of my good friends little girls. They were precious and it was so much fun! It made for one jealous Emily having a baby in the house. Yesterday was Memorial day and Owen woke up at 5 a.m. to go fishing with my Dad. He said," it was fun catching a fish and going pee-pee in the water!" Who knew the highlight of going fishing was going pee-pee in the water! Yesterday afternoon we played outside in the little pool and then ate dinner with my parents. Owen ended up getting sick last night so we are taking it easy today. Hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend and are kicking off your summers. Happy summer!
