Baseball Season

Baseball and Soccer Season are a wonderful thing, unless you have 3 boys playing. I love going to the ballpark and watching the boys play. Especially when they are winning. But that being said. After not getting home a couple days a week until after 9:30 then still needing baths. I am flat out exhausted. I thought at someone said that once they were not babies anymore we would get some sleep. But who needs sleep, these wonderful boys won't be little for long and I won't always have the ballpark to go to. So I am going to enjoy every last pitch, catch, hit and even the outs. Even if I am going to gripe and fuss as we rush out the door. It seems we are always rushing these days.

I can not believe my boys are growing as fast as they are. I am loving every minute. God gave me a wonderful gift of being the mother to these three boys.

I think I am very ready for summer. I wonder what that adventure will bring? I can't wait.

I am so not very good with this blogging. Then I start and think this time I will do better. Let's see how long that last this time. My bet is not very long. Things are wonderful crazy around here. We are staying very busy. Both John and Matthew are staying busy with Scouts. Clifton is still the cubmaster and I hate to say but I think that he likes it. I have also gone back to work. I am working for the Bay Area Council, BSA. I am running the Learning for Life program. It has been an adjustment going back to work.

Matthew and Jacob are both playing baseball. Both are playing machine pitch. Matthew is in the Dixie League and it is starting to look like real baseball. I am so impressed. Jacob is playing rookie and he is the littlest on the team, but is doing well and holding his own.

John is playing soccer and seems to really enjoy it. Anything to not do the same thing as his brothers I think.

School is almost over. Not sure what we are going to do this summer. The boys are not as easy to keep entertained as they where. They are now 6,8 an 9. A bucket of chalk doesn't do the trick anymore.

Hopefully it will be less than 2 years before you hear from me again.

We are getting settled.

I am going to try and keep up with this because I know some of you do not have myspace or facebook and would like to know how we are doing. I also think it is one more thing to get addicted to. That or put off unpacking those last few boxes.

Clifton has taken a new job in Texas City. After being with U.S. Filter for 13 years he has gone to work with Duratherm. We are living in League City and being to feel a little setteled. We still have a few boxes to unload, but thanks to Mom and Dick's help are starting to feel at home.

John started 1st grade and is enjoying it. We have also started cub scouts. I am hoping he will enjoy it. They needed another den mom and yes I am sure you know where this is headed and I am the new den mom. John and Clifton are going on there first over night camping trip next weekend. I voted to stay home with the other two.

Matthew started kindergarten and loves it. Thankfully his teacher is a hugger and that made all of the difference in the world. He likes those hugs. He lost his first tooth this week and that was exciting. The small steps in life are fun to watch in through their eyes.

Jacob has turned 3. I do not know if I will ever get him back to preschool. He likes being home with mom. Every morning he asks if we can just drop the boys off and come back home. He likes them to be at school. I have to say I am enjoying this time too.

As for me. I am staying home for now and I think I may enjoy that. The boys are going to keep me busy with everything they are involved in and I LOVE IT.
