Tyler's Big Game

Last night Tyler played baseball against the Giants. Tyler's team has pretty much already come in 2nd place in his league. So the coach thought last night the boys should be able to have a fun game. So he put the kids in positions that they have never played in before. Tyler was able to pitch. And he did a GREAT job! The Giants scored 4 runs in the 1st inning and 5 runs in the 2nd inning. Tyler pitched the 3rd inning (there is a 5 run rule for each inning). So Tyler gets up to the pitching mound and strikes out the first batter. The second batter gets a hit and makes it to first base. Tyler strikes out the next batter. Then the possible 3rd out gets up. He hits the ball Tyler stops it and throws it to first for the third out. It was awesome! Tyler was so stoked. Tyler even got the game ball for pitching so well and he may even get to pitch again on Thursday.

Ahhhh!!!!!!!

Have you ever had one of those days where it seems everything is going to go haywire? Today was my last crazy Wednesday schedule and I was so excited for it. Now I'm glad it's over. After picking Kyle up from school here in Concord and taking him to OT in Pleasant Hill, rushing to Walnut Creek to pick Tyler up, I was 15 minutes late getting back to pick Kyle up. Then we had to run to Michael's to pick up some last minute items I needed for tonights stamp club. Riley only took an hour nap in the car today and refused to eat her lunch so she's cranky. After Michael's we went to pick Michayla up from school in Lafayette. By now Riley has had it and is screaming in the back seat. Just to let you know it has been 2 1/2 hours since we left the house to get Kyle. Riley continues to scream all the way home until I turned the car off in our driveway. Then I get in the house to find our dog loose in our house! He was barking outside when I had to leave the house because our neighbors dog was outside. Since we have been getting complaints about his barking we try to have him in as much as possible. Since I wasn't going to be home and couldn't have him outside I put him in his kennel. Somehow I guess one of the door wasn't locked so I was shocked to find him loose. So we had our garbage knocked over with everything in it all over the place. Cherries squished into the floor, plastic bags torn apart, I had just cleaned the floors yesterday (of course) so all of that was back on the floor. All I can say is good thing for hardwood floors. So after I cleaned up the mess in the kitchen, I took a quick look around the kids bedrooms to see if I could tell if he used them as a bathroom I had to use the bathroom. So I went into my bedroom and sat down an was quickly surprised to find Tyko (our dog) had drank from my toilet. Disgusting! I don't know how I missed the water on the floor of the bathroom and on the floor of my room. So even though I cleaned my house this morning, I now get to clean it all over again! From now on I will have to make sure Chris takes the garbage out every night.

Steve's Wedding

Steve's wedding was so nice. He included all of the kids. Tyler escorted my Mom down the isle, Michayla, Brittani, Riley Jo, & Shawna were all flower girls, and Kyle was the ring bearer. They all did a great job! It was so cute to see the little girls walk down with the big girls. Steve & Jeannine wrote their own vows and they were so sweet. The reception was a lot of fun too. It was great to see so many people we grew up with that we haven't seen for so long. The kids all had a good time dancing too!

HAPPY MOTHER"S DAY

I know your all probably shocked I'm doing 2 blogs in 1 day. But, it just seemed nothing really interesting was going on lately but this is blog worthy. This morning I was woken up by my husband at 8:00 am (yeah I finally made it past the 7:00 hour). In his hands was a plate full of Scrambled Eggs, bacon, fresh cut up strawberries, and a rose. It was delicious. Then when I came out to the kitchen, on the table was a huge bouquet of roses all different colors. It was beautiful. Then he made the kids breakfast, and cleaned up afterward. Too bad everyday can't be Mother's Day! But it was nice for a day! :)

Kyle's Hit

Kyle has been playing T-ball since the end of March. At the end of April the coaches started pitching 3 balls to the kids and if they miss those, then they bring the tee in. Well, Kyle is too busy watching the shadows or the players (I'm sure he's just trying to find the best spot to put the ball and the coach just throws the ball too early). Well yesterday Kyle hit the ball the coach pitched all the way up the middle. It was a great hit! He was so excited. And so were we.

Easter

This morning we did an Easter Egg Hunt with Kyle & Riley. Riley woke us all up at about 7:15. I went in to get her and she wanted her shoes on. So I tried to get her dressed first but she wanted her dress shoes on top of her footed PJs. We tried to put her slippers on but she refused. She is so funny about her shoes. So we put her dress shoes on & Kyle put his slippers on and we went outside to do the Egg Hunt. Kyle was excited to see what the Easter Bunny had left for him. He was excited to find a Skateboard, caution cones, a water bottle and candy in his Easter Basket. He also received a pair of PJs. Riley had a pair of PJs, a bunny, a bike helmet and a small bag of M&Ms. Once she saw the M&Ms the egg hunt was over. When we came back inside Kyle wanted to put on his new PJs. So of course, Riley had to follow. Her PJs were a Tank top and either a pair of pants or shorts. Once I put on the tank top though, she thought it was a dress so she wouldn't let me put on the bottoms. Then she went to her room and grabbed her jelly shoes to put on with what she thought was a dress.
