What a busy, but fun weekend!

Well, we had a great but busy weekend. It all started on Friday night with Cam's first game in Door County at 6:30. They won that game and he played great! The next day consisted of games at 10 am, 4 pm, and 8 pm! The first game they won and Cam had a great game again. We then headed to Sturgeon Bay for lunch at Applebee's. I am sure we are still being talked about. We pile in with 8 families and a lot of kids. It was a zoo, but we all left fed and ready for the next game. Duke was riot...he never napped and ran all day. He was a tired boy!! Sophia ran as well, and she was exhausted by the end of the day. We left our house at 8:15 am and didn't get home until 10:30 pm Saturday night....it was a looong day :-) but worth it!! The next game was at 4 pm and with another win we were ready to move on and play at 8 pm. Cameron did an amazing job catching this game. The score was 1 - 0, we were ahead. That point was scored by Ryan who hit a home run. After many scoreless innings, Cameron made an a really good play and threw a kid out at second base, which brought our team up to bat. We had runners on first and second and Bryce was up to bat. He smashed the ball so far, it was awesome. He hit a home run which brought in three runs and they won the game 4 - 0, which gave them first place in the whole tourney ;-) We hung out with some wonderful friends on Saturday night and Sunday which was a great time!! Our refrigerator is having some major issues that we are trying to figure out and it isn't a fun thing to deal with. So now we are deciding what to do about that. And then on Sunday Cameron had a scrimmage against Ashwaubenon and took a smash to the face when he was involved in a pickle with his other teammate. He looks pretty rough today, but he is so tough and I am so proud of him :-) Well that is it for now!

This is his face right after he was hit.

This is his face last night after we got home. Today it looks even worse!

This was the sign that was nailed to the field the boys were playing on! It cracked me up enough I had to take a picture with the boys in the background playing!

Party on....

Well here I am with some updated pictures! Sophia graduated preschool! She was so cute. I was sad to see this chapter of life end. She had the most amazing teachers! I can't believe my little girl will be in kindergarten next year, every day all day :-( She also had her birthday party at Snips and Giggles, what a day for her. It was right up her alley! She loves sparkles and glam and all that girly stuff so this party was perfect! Cameron has been very busy with baseball. Between his baseball games and helping with the JV baseball team he is living, eating, and breathing baseball -- which is an awesome opportunity!! Duke has been very, very, very, very, very, energetic lately. He ran all day yesterday outside. He is such a boy!! We had a great time with family this weekend for the Cellcom half marathon which was awesome. They all did a fantastic job, and we are very proud of them.

This weekend

Hey everyone,

Well it will be a fun weekend! We will start off the morning with Sophia's birthday party with her friends at Snips and Giggles (one of her favorite places to go). It should be a fun time. I will update with pictures tomorrow. Then right after that Cameron has his first scrimmage of the summer (yes he will play outside, yeah!!!) against Ashwaubenon at 11:00. I am very excited to watch him play.

The kids had a good week. Sophia is winding down her school days. She has only two weeks left, I can't believe it. Cameron was busy again with baseball. He is loving every minute he gets to spend with the JV baseball team. He had a really good practice on Wednesday. They also received their team jackets which are awesome. I will get a picture of him in it today :) He is one lucky kid!! Duke is just amuzed at putting his underpants on backwards. He likes to see the picture from the front, but I can't believe he wears them that way considering how particular with clothes he is.

I waited a long time to join facebook. Well I caved and joined a couple of weeks ago. I can't believe the people I have met up with. I had really good friends when I moved away from Arizona 15 years ago and I have reconnected with five of them. I am so happy! That is what my main purpose was when I joined facebook. I can't believe I am talked daily with the people who were such a big part of my life. It is so cool to see where they have been and where they are right now :-)

Last note....I watched Marley and Me last night, what a great movie. It is so funny how that movie mimics our life around here. Three kids, a crazy job, and trying to balance it all :-) I am a softy and cried at the end. If you haven't watched that movie I highly recommend it. Alright have a good weekend.
