Another cold day

Well we had another cold game! I don't think it is ever going to warm up. Tucker got another hit. He isn't hitting as hard as he does at home, but at least he is getting a piece of it. He played 3rd today, but no real action. It was a pretty slow game. At least the rain waited till the game was over. We have a game Saturday at 5:30 plus pics and the hit-a-thon.

Garden

I worked in my gardens for a few hours yesterday in between the rain. They are usually in tip-top shape by now. With the snow taking so long to melt and all the rain I have not gotten them cleaned up yet. My back in killing me today. I forget how much in aches when I am done. Once I get them all finished I will take some pics. Not much is blooming yet, but soon! Farmer's Market opened last Saturday so I will have to get some more flowers. Oh and a snickerdoodle! It would be best it the cookie lady quit coming to the market. LOL I am so excited to see my roses starting to come back. The rose guy loves me cause I buy new roses each year! I will need more this year also. The last two winters have not been kind to my poor babies. Wishing for more sunshine!

Our friend Brian brought me the beautiful flowers yesterday for Mother's Day. I thought that was so sweet. Aren't they gorgeous! I have been wanting to put a flower picture up above and these are perfect.

A beautiful day!

Today was beautiful out. We enjoyed a nice bbq with family. I didn't even get my camera out. Shame on me! The kids had a great day playing and us mom's took a nice walk after stuffing ourselves. Mary, as promised I ate a piece of Kahula Cream pie for you! ARGH!!!! Patty, I am really glad you and Uncle Lee came by. Thanks so much for bringing the pie and ice cream. Yummy!!!! Unfortunately I ate some of each! LOL Back to the healthy eating tomorrow. So Happy Mother's Day again.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day for all you Mom's! Thanks especially to Mom and Mary! We love you! Mary, I will eat a yummy piece of dessert for you. Wish you were here with us!

Family Pics

Rained out

Well we had our first rained out baseball game. The fields were a mess and it of course started raining really hard about the time the games were supposed to start. So home and movies. It was a good movie night.

We had a huge thunder and lightning storm last night too. Poor Duke had to stay outside cause he was so wet already. He hates thunder. I should have dried him off and brought him in. I figured if I did that he would be trying to crawl in bed with us all night. He really is a boob!

Finally

Ethan had a big research paper that he worked on for about a month. He had to chose a topic from "Life in the 1930's". Well he chose Hoovervilles. It proved to be a tough topic to gather enough information for a 3 page paper. He worked really hard on it and learned how to properly site his sources and all the other stuff a research paper requires. He didn't get his 3 pages. He turned it in over 2 weeks ago and we have been on pins and needles waiting for it to be graded. FINALLY!!! He got a B! Boy is that a relief! Good job Ethan and thanks Rusty for helping him with it. I tried really hard to check out on this one. I am NOT good at research papers.

My boys

It is absolutely impossible to get my boys to just let me take a nice picture of them.
Cool dudes!!!

I just thought this one was funny. I was trying to take a picture of Ethan, but he thought I was taking one of Tucker and was trying to get out of the way.

Tucker practicing on his hit-a-way. We bought this yesterday at Big 5. I am hoping it will help him watch the ball. He did get a hit the last two games.
