Parents vs. Kiddos

Last week, Nick and Sam played a game against each other. Drew and I didn't go because the heat index was so high and Drew had not been feeling well.  Everyone had a blast. The kids got their tournament t-shirts and trophies. Our end of season party is in a week or so.

Happy Daddy's Day

Quick Trip

The boys and I made a quick trip to Fancy Farm this morning. We left about 8am to make it to a funeral. My grandmother's baby sister, Julia Merle, died this week after as long battle with cancer. After reading the obituary and seeing my grandmother's name, I felt very strongly that I needed to go. I didn't know Julia very well, but I do remember my grandmother telling stories and referring affectionately to her as her baby sister. I also remember Julia and another one if my grandmother's sisters coming to tuck her into bed the night my granddaddy died. We all piled on the bed and listened to my grandmother and her sisters tell stories of long ago. I am so glad I found energy somewhere to make that drive today. It was so wonderful to see aunts and uncles. The boys did so well! They really enjoyed getting hugs and kisses....and candy from loved ones. :) We made a stop by the cemetery before leaving town to pay respect to the graves of my grandparents. The boys were exhausted and didn't make it out of the county before falling fast asleep.

T-Ball Championship

Thursday was a marathon kind of day. We went swimming earlier in the day, which totally wore us all out. We thought about sitting out of the last night of vbs, but we sucked it up and went anyway. I'm so glad we went because it was probably one of the best nights of all. We had a snow machine that both the children and adults loved. :) While at vbs, I was told our 6pm game at been moved to 8pm. If Sam didn't show up, we would have to forfeit the game. Ugh! I was not prepared for this at all. This would require us to leave vbs a few moments earlier than normal. Not a big deal, but I had none of Sam's t-ball stuff and there was no time to go home. Nick had to work late and he had a game himself after that. So, this organized mama had to take a deep breath and let go of all that. We borrowed a jersey and glove from a teammate's sibling and a hat from the coach. Another parent got masking tape and changed the 2 on Sam's jersey to 21...as to not have two number 2's on the team. Sweet Sam ran faster than he's ever run regardless of the crocs he was wearing.....Ha! I had to take another deep breath when our game was delayed 40 minutes. Thank goodness my sister Melissa was there to help me with Drew. We left the ballpark @ 10pm! Showers were a must when we got home, so bedtime ended up right before 11pm! Holy moly.....is that a marathon of a day or what?!
