Baseball season is over

While it got off to a rocky start for Tonio, team sports are tough on him, the teams did pretty well over all . Antonio played for the Rangers ages 9-11 this year which is now pitched by the team instead of the coach. they had a pretty good season with 3 wins i believe and 5 loses. Devin played for the Red Hawks in the 5-8 yr old so he was top dog for his team. Devin tried diligently to get that ball to the fence this year since I made him a bet that if he hit the fence i would give him 100$. ( Secretly hoping that was impossible) He managed to almost do it this year! He made about 6 home runs this year. Tonio had a tough time with the fast pitching and struck out alot. But near the end of the season he did manage to hit 3 balls into the outfield. I was so proud of him! Chon managed to come to a whopping 2 games this year.... due to Drill SGT work. I hope that playing baseball gives the boys the skills to see what it is like to work as a team and for a team if nothing else.

Summer visit from Grandma

Since the base always celebrates independence day early here My parents and my grandmother decided to drive down and spend the week with us. We had a great time, I took them all to see the new Infantry Museum , and we cooked out on the newly made deck ( my mom paid for) she is so nice! We even had our first guest ( note the small caterpillar in the picture with Wyatt) The fireworks were great this year, I didn't get to spend much time with my husband at the park since he was tasked with watching the privates there but then again , I'm used to that. comes with the job. We've been spending tons of time at the pool this year but all that is about to end with my classes starting just around the corner. I've been so busy getting ready for it that Ive had no time to post for a while so sorry for the absence.

Old fashion lemonade stand

Today the boys decided to start earning cash for the summer by opening up a lemonade and Kool-aid stand, Devin, Tonio , and their friend Jesse handed out the goods and kept the cash while Wyatt reeled the customers in with his cuteness ( or was it the ninja costume) holding the sign they made up . At any rate they amazingly made about 20$ in an hour, is that insane or what? LOL just goes to show you that kids are cute! lol enough to tip for a cup of lemonade.

Sisterhood

I wanted to share with you all that yesterday was my sister's 25th birthday. I can still remember when Mom brought her home from the hospital, all I wanted to do at the age of 7 was play mommy to her. lol As she grew we became best friends, I took her shopping and to movies with me all the time. After high school, she decided to go to cosmetology school to become a beautician. She came a long way from wanting to be a waitress when she was 13. lol She now works over in Troy at Glamour nail &hair gallery. She is a wonderful stylist, I get my hair done every time I'm up to see the family. She is such a sweet person, and very kind. I am so glad her and I had the chance to grow up together as sisters. So here's to you sis, enjoy your birthday !

Free Swimming!

It's officially summer here now in Georgia with temperatures in the 90's. So we were going to get the boys swimming passes to the pool on post this year but turns out for some unknown reason all the pools are FREE this year! Talk about good luck. The boys found a new favorite one to hit up its got a low diving board and a rock climbing wall . Wyatt would like it better if he could touch the bottom however, it starts at 4ft. so I bought him a float ring and he will get in with me. I can't wait to get rid of these pasty white legs anyway!
