Most Memorable

What a fantastic Memorial Day weekend.  Friday and Saturday we were in Utah County for another baseball tournament.  They played their hearts out and lost one by 1 and then won another.  It was fun, cold, but fun.

A little part family photo on Saturday.

Jacob was wiped out by the end, but of course so happy.

The long weekend also meant fort building to sleep in, lots of fun for the boys.

Sunday night we had Nate and Aliska over for dinner.  My Beck boys all then came over to visit and a visit from the Price’s.  I LOVE just sitting back and chatting with people.

Monday morning was picture perfect.  We all slept in….sooooo nice for my sleep deprived body.  The Beck  boys all came over and ate breakfast (not planned) and then we all hung out front playing baseball, basketball and Jeff having a life changing ride on my bike.  It was exactly the way I would have chosen to spend the morning.  I then got Bryan to go running with me, first time ever.

Weeded and planted my garden ALL afternoon.  I have never felt my age until today.  I was so sore and my hips did not want to get up and down anymore!

A nice visit to my Mom and Baby James’ graves.

The boys then decided to go to the Bee’s game, because we don’t have enough baseball in our lives.  I was too worn out and so I stayed home and had a barbeque all by myself……

Just my little hamburger on our new grill.

What an ideal day!

Baseball, Baseball, Baseball

This is our life right now.  Just over a week ago we went to Pocatello for a tournament.  Jacob thought it was so cool that he got to miss school on Friday for baseball.  His team played in 4 games and lost them all, some by a lot!  Jacob is so good natured, it doesn’t bother him past the game.  He had so much fun playing and being with his team mates, that was what mattered.  It was good for me to be there, I had felt on the outs with his comp team and now I know the parents and other players much better.

Jonah spent every game playing catch with whoever would look at him.

And playing ball with the team.  He kind of became the mascot, all the kids loved him and they had a great time together.

Four games later, I wondered if those pants would come clean!

Brandon and I spent the in between game times running.  We had a lovely tour of Pocatello and some very good races.  He beat me by one half of a step!

Hard work and self control, which I have none of.

Most Important

One of the drawbacks of our crazy baseball life right now is that Jacob and Jonah don’t have a lot of time to play together.  Jonah waits everyday for Jacob to get home, only to find out that he usually has to run off to practice.

Some days, like this morning, there is nothing more important to be done than the two of them playing baseball.

Hallelujah, only a few more weeks of school.
