It’s that time of year again. Baseball time! And to get it kicked off, I wrote a story about our baseball experience this year over at Coach Daddy. The title is “How the Army took Baseball from Us”, but allow me to add that it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. If Caleb had played on a team here, he would have had either a practice or a game every single night of the week! What!!!! I’ll do […]
» Read moreThe vast majority of these photos were taken by our family photographer, Aunt Janet. Thank you, yet again, Janet!! Baseball season has been time-consuming but joyous this year. Joshua joined a team late in the season that was short on players because after seeing his brothers enjoy playing so much, he wanted in on this action too! That puts Joshua in the “Mustang” league, which is an exciting game to watch. At this level, the players get to pitch, get […]

Alan and I are such a funny pair. People are always calling us “laid back” and fun, and sometimes, when they say that, I wonder, “Wow. Who else do they know because I think we are crazy high stress.” And that’s just it. It depends on who you’re comparing us to. When we first started out as sports parents, we were just plain dumb about it. We’d over-coach our boys, worry about it when they didn’t want to play, and […]
» Read moreThis week I am reading Little House on the Prairie to the boys. It’s the perfect ending to our year in American history. We read Little House in the Big Woods earlier this year. Big Woods was NOT a hit. There was moaning and groaning galore whenever story time arrived. I made them listen to the whole thing anyway. I’m not always as sweet as I look… I have been pleasantly surprised to discover that the boys are actually enjoying […]
» Read moreThere are so many exciting things going on in our chilly little Northern Cal world, it’s hard to keep my head on straight! Alan is in the middle of a mid-term schedule that has him pretty stressed. He actually has to go out of town later this week to test out a drone parachute that he designed. Woohoo! Alan and I are so different. No one would ever, in a billion years, ask me to design ANYTHING. Thanks to this […]
» Read moreDaniel, watching the Nats vs. Pirates game. He was copying the way the runners slid to the base….over and over again, which we thought was just adorable! Roll Tide, ya’ll!!! It is finally Friday!! Boy, could I use a weekend. Naturally, this weekend will be jam packed with activities, but the psychology of it all is half the battle, right? ******Pregnancy Update******* This is my 33rd week of pregnancy (which means I am 32 weeks pregnant), […]
» Read moreToday’s Snow Day was pretty awesome, except that there was no snow to play in once the snowing stopped. It snowed for about 18 hours straight, and yet it was too warm for accumulation past 11am. This works out nicely though. Everyone got to stay home, and yet Alan was able to safely run errands. Plus tomorrow’s road conditions should be perfectly fine. Happy birthday to me! Ya’ll, today was thoroughly exhausting! It seems like everyday is exhausting lately. […]
