Reds

Dalton is trying out for the Cincinnati Reds Scout Team this weeekend. We are so excited for him to be asked to do this. He has been playing some phenomenal ball lately and we just can't wait to see where it takes him. Good luck, Dalton. We're rooting for ya!

Parenting is highly overrated!

I need a vacation from being a mom. Is that possible to do? If so, please let me know and tell me where I can go! Teenagers are so impossible and those mouths! Ok, ok, I know I had the smartest mouth on the planet at that age. I got my face slapped many times for smarting off and rolling my eyes. I do have great kids but they really don't know everything. They like to think they do, but they don't. Unfortunately they will be 30 before they figure that out. I don't think I can wait that long! And, bad grades only 3 weeks into the year? Dude, if you can't do well the first 3 weeks, you are REALLY going to have it rough 9 weeks, 12 weeks, 18 weeks in. It just gets harder. What about boarding school? Is that a viable option? That way I don't have to go through this stress everyday? I'm just kidding. I could never send them away! I'm just venting and I thank you for allowing me to do it! UGHHHHHHHHHH

Going Pro, Baby!!!!


Dalton hit his first over the fence homerun this weekend!!!!!!!! I don't think I have ever screamed so loud. It was so exciting to see and you couldn't wipe the smile off of his face! I was definitely the proud mom and had tears streaming down my face! One of the dads went and got the ball for him to keep. Darrell didn't make it to the game due to our renovating the house so he missed it. I immediately called him, of course. I am so proud of Dalton and his drive to be the best he can be! Congratulations baby! I am so happy you finally did it. It's just he first of many!

Europe 2008

We went to Estonia, Finland and Sweden this summer. We visited our girl, Tii and her mom, Anne. They went with us all over the place and we had a great time. We took tons of pictures, many you can see on the following blogs. If you want more just email me and I'll send you the link to our photobucket!

Labor Day Weekend Fun






Karen and her kids came up for the weekend from San Antonio. We had so much fun watching Dalton play baseball, swimming in the pool and just hanging out. I think I got Janna addicted to watching Man vs. Wild! She kept wanting to watch the man who ate gross stuff! Ivan started diving in the pool which was very, very exciting! Lukas had fun playing with his Uncle Darrell by being tossed all around. And, of course, Karen and I talked nonstop!
