Busy week

Monday: Grocery Shop/clean house/ Do errands /Shawn's tournament Baseball Playoffs continue (we lost game one in the double elimanation tournament to one of the worst teams in the league,I was pretty confident that the season was going to end tonight and I was actually ready for it to end)

Tuesday: 6th Grade Picnic/ 2nd Grade picnic / Alex's Baseball Game/ Shawn's Baseball Game/ Cousins come to stay for a few days (Shawn wins, huh, we sure are getting lucky!)


Wednesday: Play Basketball/ hang out in pool with cousins and friends/ rained out baseball game and power goes out. enjoyed the evening with no power and hanging out!

Thursday: Kindegarten Program/ Kindegarten picnic/ 4th grade picnic/birthday party for Melissa's friend that we all went to/ Shawn's baseball game (they won again! I am actually excited to see the next game! I can't believe they are still in it!) Shawn actually pitched for part of the game! He isn't one of the pitchers, but we were playing so much that we started wearing our pitchers out so Shawn willingly filled in. I was so proud of him for helping his team out!

Friday: Shop all morning for Alex's birthday gifts and get home in time for kids! (LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!!) Cut ALex and David's hair and go to mall to get kid's picture taken to suprise Dale for father's day/ Back in time to head to Shawn's semi final game/ go to game enjoy the best baseball game I have ever seen! An amazing comeback by Shawn's team to take the game into extra innings for the eventual win, we are headed to the championship game!

Saturday: Drive Melissa to her grandmas so she can attend her cousins baptism while we attend Shawn's championship game, We watch Shawn's very tired team lose the championship but couldn't be more proud of their second place standings! We never thought they would make it that far and they did! /Clean house Saturday for Alex's baseball party/ host Alex's baseball party


Shawn batting in the championship game!


Shawn's team in the dugout after the game...his teammates were not as happy about their 2nd place standings as I was ..they cheered up after a while and enjoyed a team picnic following the game.


Alex's team also won second place in their league, what are the chances?! Alex with his trophy at the party. Dale was the pitching coach for Alex's team and was presented with a wonderful picture album from this season...I was very proud of my boys!

Sunday: Father's Day and Alex's Birthday! I made Alex breakfast in bed, then the kids helped me prepare breakfast in bed for Dale. We gave him his gifts , he loved the portrait of the kids! He went back to sleep and woke up in time for church, we all went to church. After church we hosted a father's day swim party for Dale's family. We also had cake and Ice cream and gifts for ALex's birthday. The grill is dead, but the kabobs tasted great from the broiler! (I will start shopping for a new grill ASAP!)

Monday: School is out, baseball is over and I am taking today off! Alex has a friend over and Shawn is at a friends, and I am so excited about the summer being relaxed ! I think we will go see a movie tonight or something!

I am tired just reading that. Which cousins stayed for a few days? You must not have time to breath.

Alison came for a few days with her kids...they are so cute and I love having them around! Alex and David both look a lot younger now with their new short hair cuts...as the kids are getting older I am finding that we have more and more weeks like that one...!
