VACATION

While the kids ventured to Dauphin Island with the rest of the family for a nice, relaxing vacation, JR and I stayed behind to work!!!! We painted the house, stained the deck, worked in the yard, worked in the garden, got new carpet, and much, much more. The kids came back nice and relaxed while we were pooped and ready to go back to work for a break.

The kids had a wonderful time at Dauhpin Island. The sea fishing was one of their favorite things to do and never get tired of hearing about catching the sand shark. The beach was also a favorite. I thought they would be tired of swimming, but that's not the case.

BALL SEASON

Well, another ball season has come and gone. This year, we had a Pirate and a Cardinal. The Cardinal's had an awesome coach this year and she learned a LOT about the sport. Not about winning or losing, but the fundamentals of how to play the game. THANKS, Bryan. Our little Pirate, well, I just don't know what to say about him. He's just a natural at sports. It's SO cute to watch all those little guys get out there and hit the ball and it's especially comical when they are fielding the ball. Our little Pirates didn't keep score, but our CARDINAL had an undeafeted season. She missed her last game because of vacation, but she will receive a really nice trophy and a medal. WAY TO GO!!!!!
