I have lots of excuses.... lots.... Like:
Jake's baseball season has begun. We try to practice twice a week, and we have a game each week.
The team is doing really well this year. SO far we have played 3 games, and we have won 2 of the 3. Jake is playing really well this year . He had an AMAZING game the other night. He was presented the "game ball" after an incredible catch at second base. He caught a HIGH line drive over his head at 2nd. He jumped in the air and twisted around...catching the ball and getting the OUT. It was awesome. Even the other team was cheering for him.. FUN! I really love watching him play ball.
Last weekend Jake participated in an academic competition. His team did really well and he had so much fun. After the competition his team performed a lip sync just for fun and his team won 2nd place. The competition was out of town, so Rowdy went on the trip to support Jake's team. (Thanks Rowdy.).
Meanwhile.....
A few weeks ago Emily participated in a regional band competition.... her ensemble did FANTASTIC and now they will be traveling to compete at the state competition.... YEA!!!
Emily received an IPA award today! That is an Important Person Award at the high school. Students are nominated by their teachers. The teachers have to present their nominated students to a committee who decides which students will receive this honor.... they narrow it down to about 25 students per grade level....and they are recognized for their "importance" and outstanding contributions to their high school community. It is quite an honor.... to be chosen 1 of 25 in a class of over 500. COOL huh?
Guess what else.... We have a student driver.... Yuuuup. You hear me right. Emily has her permit...and is practicing.......
I could make jokes....but I will tell the truth....she is doing very well.
(but I still may have to color my hair again to cover all the grey)
Rowdy and Eddie are working hard..... they just finished qualification...and Everyone PASSED!!!
Eddie celebrated by laying on the couch and watching "Animal Planet".
We have a New hobby- a family activity.
We have been Geo-Caching.
FUN! We have had lots of FUN!
(horrible photo...but I took it with my phone...sorry)
