Baseball & Swimming

Our weekend started out with baseball Friday night and Saturday morning. The season is winding down and we're playing all of those "make up" games at odd times. Both games were against the same team and Andrew's team won on Friday night, but lost on Saturday...go figure. I do know that it was a fun game to watch because Ben had the chance to play on Andrew's team for both games....I think they kinda like the fella....and he can play really well too!! As you can see in this picture, #6 has his rally cap on (inside out) that would be Andrew. If you look slightly above his head, you can see Ben getting ready to bat. How often do we get to watch 2 sons playing in the same game???Hardly ever- so it was fun!!! Not to mention the awesome parents that we sat with at the game....they are very entertaining too!!

Ben and Luke stayed over night with some friends on Saturday night and had the chance to go here on Sunday for our friend's church picnic. It's a man-made lake that's chlorinated......which means they didn't have to worry about any fishies nibbling their toesies. (because they worry about those things, ya know....)
but the boys had to leave the chlorinated pond early because Luke had his baseball team's party at the coach's house. At his team's party, the coach gave every player a nickname to reflect something about that player's season. Well, Luke got the nickname "happy feet" because he had some trouble staying in the batters box while at bat at the beginning of the season. Needless to say, he wasn't very happy with that nickname, but managed to yell it out before he jumped off the diving board....here he is.....
I just feel so thankful for the great friends that we have and the wonderful opportunities that we are blessed with.... We have a great life!!! Jill
