Where did the summer go?????

I can not believe that the summer is almost over! Where did the time go?

Ian and Jonah's New Friend

We are welcoming the newest member to our house. He is still living with is brothers, sisters and parents in Bellville. Jackson aka JAK is a black lab puppy. He is currently 5 weeks old and will be joining our family on July 2nd.

RICE BASEBALL CAMP

The boys have been attending Rice Baseball Camp this week.

Cypress Cannons Party

CYPRESS CANNONS END THE YEAR WITH A BOUNCE....OR TWO.....OR THREE

The Cannons end of the season party was at Pump It Up. What a great place to have a non-birthday party. Everyone had a great time! We also had pizza and cupcakes!

What a Last Week of School

Even though it is already June 10th. The end of school was a whirlwind! I finished the year at Lieder and received a promotion for the start of Aug. I will be the new admin secretary at McFee. Both boys finished strong. And we are all glad for a little rest.

Just Counting Down!

WE ONLY HAVE 6 DAYS OF SCHOOL LEFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Where has the year gone? It seems like only yesterday Nikki, Diana, Terri and I were talking about how it did not seem possible for the kids (older ones) to be going into 6th grade! But we all the mom's and the kids survived. We had our ups and downs but for the most part Ian had a terrific 6th grade year! He met new friends and rejoined some old ones, learn to play the violin and managed to have all A's with just 1 B. Jonah always fares well with school and friends. Nothing much knew for him mostly A's with 1 B and met alot of new friends this year. Wade and I are truly blessed with 2 terrific kids.

Ok, You thought you were going to get away without a baseball post. Right

With baseball season in full swing, I thought I would post some additional photos!

Jonah's Field Day

Jonah's field day was Thursday. Yes, I know I am a little behind on my postings!

It was a great day with field day in the am the heat was not to bad. The Domino Dynamites has great success with the field events.

It is not all baseball at our house!

I know that most of you think we are just a baseball family!

Well on most Monday nights that would be true....... but tonight was Ian's Spring Concert. Although, Jonah did have a game! Ian and I went to the concert.

The concert was great and Ian did a wonderful job.

Sunday Night!

With the end of a busy weekend. 4 games this weekend Jonah had 3 and Ian had 1! Jonah's team is progressing and Ian's team is on fire. Ian pitched on Saturday 3 complete innings with no hits and 7 strike outs. What an awesome game he had. Jonah has started playing a little bit of short stop but still prefers 2nd. Even with TAKS this week, we still have a busy week coming up. Just counting down the days only 5 Mondays left! Well Jonah is calling from the bath tub and the dryer buzzer is going off so I guess I better go.

Have a great week all~

What a Beautiful Day!

After all the rain Friday night and Saturday! Today is such a beautiful day. We did venture out of the house yesterday with errands to run......Jonah needed new shoes and new cleats, with the outlet mall in Fairfield out of the question, we ventured over to Katy Mills. We did some shopping and then caught a movie Monsters vs Aliens. Cute movie, Jonah loved it.....Ian not so much. I guess he is getting to old for those animated ones. I made my weekly trip to HEB and did some laundry. Now we are just waiting for 4:00 Jonah and Ian both have practice tonight. Hope everyone has a great week!

Wednesday Night

WOW!

What a long week and it is not even over yet!

Ian had a game tonight and he played great. This was the first game of his that I have been able to attend. They won the first 2 but lost this one. I maybe a jinks! ; )

We just got home and got the boys showered and in bed. Switched the laundry around! Put up a load of towels. Cleaned up the kitchen. I guess it is time to call it a day. Still have a couple of things to do before I get to bed.

Good Friday

Good evening all. Just catching up for the week. We had baseball games, baseball practice and work. We just got back from Jonah's baseball practice and a scrimmage. Going to sit down and relax for awhile. I will post some more pictures tomorrow. Ian has a scrimmage in the morning at 10am. So sometime after that. We hope that you all have a great Easter.

Monday Evening

Well it is Monday evening, Jonah and Wade are at baseball practice (to cold for me tonight), Ian is in his room. No homework tonight because of TAKS tomorrow. I have done 3 loads of laundry completely, cooked dinner, cleaned up, baked a cake and I am totally exhausted!

Have a great evening!

Spring Break Update

Several people have requested I add some additional pics from Spring Break. This is Jonah and Lightin' McQueen at the Pixar Parade inside California Adventures. The other one is Ian and Jonah with a blacksmith at Legoland (the entire blacksmith, anvil and hammer all made out of legos!)

Sunday, April 5th

What a long day it has been! It started with grocery shopping in the morning (my usual weekly trip to HEB), then home to put everything up. Today was also a very special day, my niece Tiffany is expecting her first child and we were having her shower at my mom's house. It was a lot of fun! She is having a boy so it was easy for me to buy for her. Wade, Ian and Jonah went to the movies during the shower and then we met up and had dinner with Scott, Nikki, Emma, Charlee and Remi. Now back at home to rest. Tomorrow starts another week. It includes work and a lot of baseball. Which is what we seem to do best. I hope everyone has a great week!

Baseball

As most of you know we are a baseball family. We spend most of our free time play baseball. Both boys play for the Cypress Cannons. Wade coaches both team with the help of his assistant coaches. Ian pitches and plays 1st base. Jonah plays 2nd base and will start pitching next season. Both boys play very well. My job is to make the schedules and keep everyone on track.

Spring Break

This year for spring break we took the boys to Disneyland. We all had a great time. We also drove to down to Legoland and spent some time at the beach. The water was way to cold for me but Jonah had a great time.
