The Wiggle Trance

There is something about The Wiggles that put the boys in a trance. I wish they had a 24 hour Wiggle station :)

Baseballing

Baseball has been really fun so far this year. Granted we are only a few weeks in & I'm sure I will be ready for it to be over with later on but so far, so good. I ventured inside the fence yesterday to get some pictures without fence.



Let me just say "oh how I wished I had this grass at my house". It feels like lush carpet. Even the visiting team was commenting how nice it was.



The boys got some hand me down shirts from the HS yesterday. I'm just glad Colton remembered to take his long sleeve black under armour or he would have looked really funny.



Colton warming up.



So many of the boys have been playing ball together since they started in little league.



I love this picture of Colton and the 1st base coach. He is a retired Oklahoma Highway Patrolman. He doesn't get paid to help, he just does because he loves baseball and teaching the kids.



Another picture that has nothing to do with baseball but I couldn't resist. Little Ben was feeling yuck yesterday and he kept crying out during his nap. Finally I just laid him on the couch. He woke up & got up but then I walked by & he was like this.

Oh yeah, Colton made the winning hit in the last inning. And we came from behind in the 2nd game in the last inning to win too! I'm telling you they are killing me; my heart can't take games like that.

Did you spring?

So how many clocks did you forget to move up? I think we got all of ours. Colton has 3 baseball games this week (1 at home, 2 on the road) & then spring break, yea! We are heading south to Seabrook, TX for a few days. I can't wait to go to a scrapbooking store my sisinlaw took me to the last time I was there. It was an awesome store.

In scrappy news, I haven't really done anything in a few weeks. I still have a LO sitting on my table but it is getting ready to get moved over so I can work on an baby album for my friend's daughter. Hopefully I will have it done before the baby graduates from high school :)

Long before HMOs.....

there was a little doctor in my hometown named Dr. Herrin. I can't remember if that is how you spell his last name it's been so long. His office consisted of two rooms, a waiting area and then his office, that's it. He had no nurse or receptionist. He saw you on a first come first serve basis. My mom would take us kids there if we had a cold and needed a "shot". He always gave a shot along with a Safe T Pop sucker which I thought was so cool.

One time when I was in college I got a terrible sinus infection. Dr. Herrin had retired years earlier but my mom called him on a Sunday afternoon to see if I could come by his house to get a "shot" before I headed back to school. And of course he told her to send me on over. He had everything ready when I got there and like old times I got my shot, but no sucker, and it worked.

I don't know what made me think of him today. I guess because I've been fighting a cold for a week now and it's such a big pain in the butt to get in to see a doctor anymore. I wonder if there are doctors out there like that anymore.

My Word

Saw this on Kelly's blog & gave it a whirl.

Your Word is "Peace"

You see life as precious, and you wish everyone was safe, happy, and taken care of. Social justice, human rights, and peace for all nations are all important to you. While you can't stop war, you try to be as calm and compassionate as possible in your everyday life. You promote harmony and cooperation. You're always willing to meet someone a little more than halfway.

What's Your Word?

And I do want world peace! (name that movie)

Baseball

Colton's first baseball game was yesterday and of course it was so windy. They played really well for the first game. We won by run rule 1-11.



Getting a pep talk.



Warming up the ole arm.



On deck.



At bat.



On base.



Oh lord this makes me nervous.



Has nothing to do with baseball but this is one in a very few moments when Hannah was still and quiet :)

Happy March (a little late)

Life as I know it will end today for at least 6 weeks. Baseball starts today with 3 games already scheduled for the week. The lawn chairs have been moved to their spot in the back of my SUV. I need to find the blankets that don't gather 1/2 of the dry grass in the area. I need to pack a little snack bag, saves me lots of $$$ not going to the concession stand. Went to look for Colton's long sleeve under armour shirt & found his baseball jacket in his closet. Where is that boys head. And I didn't find the under armour but every piece of clothing I found in his closet not hanging up was thrown in the middle of his bedroom floor. I'm going to make him pay me money for every piece of clothing I find on the floor then maybe he will start hanging things up. You think? I can hope can't I?

Our poor Max went thru some barbed wire he didn't see this morning & sliced his ear and a little spot on the back of his neck/head pretty good. After I got back to the house I tried to clean it up but he went into his dog house. Then later when I was cleaning up the blood off the back porch he wasn't around. After the boys went down for naps, I went out looking for him and he was over at the barn. He will come up to me but every time I try to look at his ear he goes off where I can't get to him. His ear was still dripping blood. Hopefully it will be okay!
