Summer Baseball always good!

No matter how hot, sweaty, buggy, or young/old, the good ole summer baseball game is always good! Even watching 8 year olds......especially when they hit a home run.....especially when its your kid!!

After smacking the ball over the outfield bleachers and 2 runs in (his and another kid on first), Grant's comment was "when I was jogging to first I thought-oh yeah-that's outta here!" He commented later that he hadn't hit a homerun in a game all year and he would keep this ball forever.........ahhh the golden years :)

When calling his dad to tell him his "good news" he said " I had so much fun!"

Now that's what its all about-what a game!

Old Friends-good friends!

We had a blast today reconnecting with old friends from Lincoln (old as in had them for a very long time, not old as in age!) Actually Laura and Kathy (Kath, Katherine) have been friends since we met at Culler Junior High in seventh grade (SEVERAL years ago). What a shame that we wait until our pending move to make time to get together. That is always a regret I hear from people who have to move their family. You have to live it to learn it I guess.........
Our bravery to tolerate the clouds, cool breeze, and threat of weather at the Mahoney water park paid off with clear skies and beautiful weather by 2pm!!! YA
What a beautiful day and beautiful friends-oldies and goodies! (but not old!)
I pray that we don't let proximity and convenience take over.

Raising daddies

On the way home from another easy and enjoyable trip to the grocery with Grant, I casually stated "you'll be a great dad some day buddy."
Grant eventually replies, "I can't wait to get kids."
I very curiously ask, "why?" (thinking where is he going to "get" them)
He replies, "because I haven't ever had any"
I quickly mentioned that I hoped not!
