Along came Mr. Catbird, all hungry and such.....hoping to sneak in and have a snack....
OH, there's Mr. Oriole....Oh my....maybe he will get scared and leave if I puff myself up.....
Shoot- that didn't work.....NOW LOOK WHO'S ALL BIG AND SCARY......
and Mr. Oriole continued to slurp away.....
Ready and waiting.......
and now making the play at 3rd base.....oh my, I'm so glad her nails are color coordinated, aren't you??
and here's Mr. Luker at bat.....
and now he's showing a little grin while on base.....be TOUGH out there, Luke- come ON!!! Oh yeah, the All Star game is supposed to be fun, not competitive.....ahem........
Didn't get any pictures of Luke pitching in the 1st inning because Anna's game was going on at the same time and really, we only have one camera and one video camera.....(sigh).....
Luke was on the Boy's AA team.....Blue team!
The game was on Saturday, and on Friday I took Anna to the Salon to have a special treat and get her nails done for the game.....here's how they looked!! Fabulous, I must say!!!! Notice the nail art on some of the nails....stripes of pink and green on 2 nails, and of course, the sparkles on all of the nails.........More All-Star pictures tomorrow.....
Andrew requested his favorite meal "chipotle bowls" the other night....it's basically marinated chicken, thrown in with some lettuce and lots of yummy toppings such as sour cream, cheese, tomatoes, pico de gallo, guacamole, tortilla chips.....after the meal, he always says under his breath, "Thank you Miss Wendy for showing us how to make this yummy meal." (She lives in Chicagoland.)
At the graduation party, our neighbors introduced us as "John and Jill who live up the hill." Yes, that's our house.......and we don't plan on falling down the hill anytime soon......
Grandmas holding babies.....
Hungry Dogs.......
Sports and Hugs......
and there were also some freaks there!!!!!!
I think John had a good father's day.......he got his belly full at lunch with my parents, and he got his share of the outdoors while playing frisbee golf...and then had Jim Beam burgers on the grill for dinner. That's a pretty good day, I say.....
One tends to fall asleep on the couch when you play 5 hours of basketball and 2 hours of baseball all in one day.....and have a stuffy nose to boot...
Ben's coach moved the players around to various positions on Sunday night. Another position that Ben played was 1st base. I captured this shot of him, while centering myself between the rungs of the chain link fence.....Go Ben!!!
and when Luke chose not to go to one of the middle schooler's parties, the party wandered over to our house......hmmm.... teenager invasion!!
and we watched Ben's first game of the season on Sunday evening.......a loss, but a good night at the ballpark....
I guess I will never understand Wisconsin weather......yesterday the temperatures were in the 90's and today at game time, it was 55 and windy.....Brrrr.......I even filled Anna's water bottle up with hot chocolate!!!! Shhhh..don't tell anyone!!!!
