Just Because

It's so rare to be in a picture with my boys, I usually have the camera in my hand.

Who says men can't wear skirts. The coaches were all good sports and did their part to dress the up for Hawaiin Hit Fest.

A really full weekend of baseball

We went to KC this weekend for ball tournaments for both boys. They had a theme this weekend, called the Hawaiian Hit Fest. We decorated dugouts, and Grant's team dressed in Hawaiin shirts for one of the games. We had our first game at 9:00pm on Friday, and we got home around midnight Sunday night. Quite a long and hot weekend, but the boys had a lot of fun!

Grant's team ended up losing the game that would have let them move on for the championship.

Mitch's team on the other hand, had a super great weekend!

They ended up taking 2nd place.

Finally, a lazy day.

Both boys had ball tournaments this past weekend. Grant in Manhattan, Mitch in KC. They finished up Sunday evening, so we were able to enjoy a nice day at the lake on Monday. Don't kid yourself though, it all started all over again on Tuesday. Mitch back at the ball diamond for a double header.........until 11:15 pm., then Grant again on Wednesday for a double header.

Worlds of Fun

We went to Worlds of Fun last weekend and had a great time. Notice....my children are no where to be found on this ride!

Grant and Uncle Bill mapping out what rides they WEREN'T going to ride. I think Uncle Bill carried more purses and jackets than anyone on this trip!

Finally, something both of them would get on. We did finally get Grant on the Timberwolf. Mitch exited through the chicken exit on the Prowler. Probably a good thing.

This water ride was a hit with everyone.

There was a bridge that you could stand on and watch them come down. The teenie bopper girls warned my husband that he was going to get drenched if he stood there. Looks like he didn't move fast enough!!

Road trip.............through a hail storm!

We headed to KC Friday evening in hopes of catching the Royals game, however, the weather about had us turning around. After stopping twice to sit through the hail and heavy rain, we continued on to KC. Game time, 7:10pm. The time the game actually started, 9:45pm.

We didn't want to miss, as Greinke was pitching. He only allowed one run that night, and he was not happy about it either. What a stud. The new and improved stadium was awesome.

Is that REALLY his name??

It was a very long evening. We stayed for the whole game and for the fireworks afterwords. Kids still wide awake for it all............mom, fell asleep in the car on the way back to Aunt Christy's. Have to get a goods night rest, as World's of Fun was awaiting us the next day.
