College World Series

Catching the ball over the fence. I love that William isn't tall enough yet to get his hand over the line.

I guess they told them to have a serious face. I asked Joe "What's wrong weren't they having fun." He laughed and said they were the photographer told them to be serious in the picture.

William

The College World Series is having it's last season in Rosenblatt Stadium this summer. It has been at Rosenblatt since 1950, so it is a historic year for the College World Series. Joe took the three older boys down to enjoy a game on Monday. They had a lot of fun and a lot of fun things there for the kids to do. The CWS will still be in Omaha but a new location next year. I am sure they will be making trips to watch the CWS for years to come at the new stadium.

Dave and Jackie get married

My brother Dave and my new sister in law got married on the 19th of June. They were so cute and so happy! We are so happy for them. It was a quick trip up to Minnesota and back. Aren't they just adorable! We wish them many years of happiness together.

Camp Pokamoke

t

Brad and Kyle went to Camp Pokamoke for the week. They had so much fun. Each day when they came home I sent them straight up to take showers and baths because they were so DIRTY! Brad did archery and Kyle did trekkers. We went up Thursday night for family night to have dinner and watch their skits. They are already talking about what they want to do next year.

Teddy Bear Picnic

Brad and Kyle went to camp last week so William, Matt, and I wanted to find some fun things to do. One thing we decided to do was to go to the Teddy Bear Picnic that our library was having. The boys picked out their stuffed animals and we packed a lunch. They sang songs, had a parade, and then we went outside and had lunch with their stuffed animals. They had a lot of fun.

Garden

We decided this year that we wanted a garden. After the success of a couple of our friends had with square foot gardening we decided that is what we wanted to do. Joe was awesome and built the frame. We filled it with dirt, measured off the squares, and then went to work deciding what we wanted. Our tomato plants are huge and have tons of tomatoes on them, we have gotten several gallon size bags of spinach and lettuce, we have squash growing, we are enjoying our peas right now, peppers are beginning to get big enough to pick, and we have picked onions. It is by far the best success we have ever had in a garden. We are going to have tomatoes coming out of our ears.

Feeding Ducks

The apartments next to our house has a little pond with lots of ducks so we save our old crusty bread up and go feed the ducks. The boys ride their bikes/scooters and we find the ducks and geese to feed. This time we stuck to feeding the ducks because of all the new ducklings and goslings. Mama ducks are much nicer then mama geese, cranky things. We found one duck that must have been ducksitting because there were so many little ducklings with her.
