Seriously, June 30th~!

Where did June go? I feel like I woke up this morning after dreaming about a month of weekend trips and very late baseball games, and now June is over! WOW! My plan for this summer was June-rest and play, July-finish baseball & prepare for going back to work, and August-work, summer over! I guess I have stuck to the plan somewhat. We have definitely played alot this month but the rest part...I don't think we have done that yet! We have spent most days sleeping late and going to bed really late!! We have stayed at the ballpark till 10:00-10:30, maybe later on nights when our kids weren't even playing! All the boys, even my dear hubby himself, beg to stay till the lights go off. I hate to admit it, but I love it. I love that all the boys share a love for something together. I love that we can all get excited about a game where we can all enjoy it. I have learned to love it but i can honestly say, I do these days.

Hudson finished t-ball on June 10th. He still prefers to go dressed in full uniform to the fields to watch his brothers. He wants to be prepared in case he is 'called' up to play. Hudson played mostly first base this year and made lots of outs there. He is a lefty unless he is at the plate. Then he seems to prefer the right side but Daddy is 'working' with him on that!! haha Last night, while watching the last game of the CWS, Hudson put on full gear, made a dugout with pillows and pretended to be playing in that game! It was hilarious because he becomes unaware that anyone else is in the room. If we leave him alone, he plays for hours. Once we say something to him, he gets embarrassed and stops. We have created a monster, I think.

Caden has played so well season. His team is in first place, with no losses in regular season. He has played catcher most games. He has pitched a couple of times. The last game he pitched, he had 13 strike outs. Caden has hit 3 grand slams and lots of home runs and others great hits. I am proud of his leadership and great attitude. His team will play in district, hoping to win and play in the state tournament! He has enjoyed sleeping late, watching tv and playing in the backyard also this summer.

Rylan, he is as tall as me...I think it's official....sigh.....at age 10, almost 11.....

Rylan has enjoyed being on the Longhorns baseball team this year. They are just a great group of coaches, players and families. It makes it really enjoyable. They are undefeated in regular season also. In fact, Rylan mentioned to me this week that it has been 4 years since he was on a team that lost a regular season game! He has been blessed to be with great players and coaches! His team will play in the district tournament in two weeks with hopes of winning it and going to state. Rylan has hit 6 out of the park home runs this season and lots of RBI's. He has done a great job catching in some really hot and humid weather.Ryan moved him up a year early to this freshman league. It has been a good choice. Rylan has competed well and even been challenged, I think! Rylan went to Camp Blue Haven the first week in June with our church. He loved it and can't wait to go back. It was a great growing experience for him. Jose, his coach, was getting married at the end of camp. Rylan flew home from New Mexico and met us in Austin to get to the wedding. He didn't even blink an eye...no biggie Mom! All the boys were in the wedding. It was so fun. Maybe I can get some pics here soon.

We enjoyed Great Wolfe Lodge this past weekend with Edward Jones. We are thankful to work for a company that values family! We are preparing for a trip to Rivera Maya very soon with the boys! We are all ready to get a little of that rest I had planned for us to get in June.

Oh, one more thing, I have bought a new camera. The one I had and loved, broke last August. I bought a small one I can stick in my purse or pocket. Dad has the big, do anything camera, I can borrow. So, I went for small and simple. All in all, life is great and we are thankful for so many things, mostly our families and time with them. Thank you God for blessing us in great ways~
