Well, since I posted last, Layne has been home again, gone again, and home again. We decided to make this past weekend nothing but family time.
Here are some highlights.
Todd's game.....Todd's baseball team is doing great. They've only lost one game, by one. He plays second & short mostly, but now and then he'll get put in as pitcher. He might not be the fastest pitch on the team, but his accuracy is almost always on target.
He had to try out for the team this year. He was nervous, but he made it. I like that he is one of the younger players on this team. It makes him practice hard and learn new things. (#4)
Mitch's game.....Mitch has had a good year in baseball too. He is at a level (coach pitch) that is more fun than competitive. He has out grown some of the tendencies that he had in T-ball. Like sliding into EVERY base, EVERY time because he liked to see the dirt fly and hear his mom yell at him. He is a good first baseman and is making some good tags and catches.
Sorry Judd, no game.....
That brings us to Saturday. It is the only day on our calendar for the month of May that didn't have anything written on it! It felt like heaven. Layne got home Friday night so Saturday afternoon we loaded up the bikes and headed for the bike trails. We have access to some awesome biking trails here. We went 9 miles and decided that we needed to get home for dinner. Okay, Layne and I decided that we were ready to go home for dinner. The kids could go clear down to KY if we would let them.
So there you have it. Last month was hard to blog. Too many things going on for a 'part-time single mom'. But the craziest month of the year is over (Yahoo!), Layne is home for a while (Yahoo!), and now Judd has what he calls "his friends" home from school for the next couple months (Yahoo!).
I took this picture eariler this spring, but I always get a laugh when I look at it. Looks like one of those Cingualr commercials, doesn't it? Even though it looks like I have a 'full signal' I usually have to say things over and over before even one of them hears me. (a guy thing?)

Rain, rain, went away and it looks like Cassie had to get on a bike! So much for the weather going your way. Looks like it was great family time, though.
The funny thing is that every time I break down and go biking with them I totally enjoy myself. When will I learn?!??!
Sounds fun to me. We uncovered our bikes yesterday and I'm threatening to get your dad on a bike ride with me. That would be worth taking a picture, heh?
Fun post and GREAT pics Cass! A bike ride does sound fun! Seeing that we are bikeless, we need to go shopping.
That pic of Justin alone on the bleachers needs to be framed...so funny/cute! So does the one of the family biking butts. I guess they all do cuz the singular commercail one is great too!
Good Job to Todd for making the baseball team!! That's pretty exciting. I had to smile about Mitch sliding into the bases. I hope he doesn't "outgrow" too many of his funny things.
We have been bikers quite a bit lately... It's a lot of fun!! Lucy for family night we'll have to meet you at the green belt and go for a ride some time. Toby and I both laughed about Mitch sliding into the bases... Wish we could have seen it!! We miss you guys!!
Holy Cow!
I can't believe how much Todd has grown since I saw him a year ago!
No wonder he is so good at baseball, you have the kid on steroids!
PS...love the new background, where did you get it?
I love all of this baseball talk! I wish I could go to some of their games. I played so much baseball growing up and now I just started playing on a competitive team here at BYU-I... I was much better when I was younger.
they have been saying that bike sales have doubled this spring/summer!!!! I can see why! now I'm in the mood for an adventure....
(I loved that pic of Judd.... it was my fave)
