Noah's Dance Video

So the other day Andy showed me his and Noah's dance to Burn Baby Burn. So today my 14 year old neighbor was over and I wanted Andy to show her their dance and so I got it on video. My camera quality still stinks but you can get the idea...it is much funnier to see Andy doing the moves while Noah tries to imitate him but Andy was camera shy....lol :(

Stolen!

So Friday I took Jessie to school and when we went outside to get in the car the passenger sliding door was open and then behind the car Jessie's flag football stuff was spread out on the ground. At first I thought we just forgot to close the door the night before but I didn't think we used that door and the flag football stuff being out of the car was weird. I checked Jessie's baseball bag (which was in the car) and all of his stuff was there so we got in the car and I took him to school.

Then today we get in the car and Andy went with us to story time at the library and the kids asked, "Where is the dvd player?" Andy thought I took it out and I did not remember thinking that it was messing on Friday when we noticed the car door...but it must have been stolen last Thursday night....I haven't had all the kids in my car to notice it was missing. I went to a local Pawn Shop to see if they got it and he told me I had to file a police report and asked if I had any serial #'s or anything which I don't...the kids movie Facing the Giants was in there too...I am so upset someone would come in and do that...though I know these are desperate times it still doesn't make it right...so we will have to make sure our doors are locked ALL the time now.

Little Oaks Pre-Season Tournament 2009

So Jessie's baseball team won the Little Oaks Pre-Season Tournament! His team actually went undefeated last year and are still undefeated this year. So they are definitely going to be a target for the other baseball teams this year.

I am so proud of Jessie. He is really good at football and he is good at baseball but he just doesn't have as much self confidence in baseball that he has in football. But today he is starting to get more confidence. We played 3 games today not including the 3 we played during the week. The first game we played today the team was really good and they shut down all of our hitters we couldn't even get on 1st base...So Jessie plays up on the 9 year old team and he is last on the batting roster...(mostly b/c last year he didn't consistently hit well) And it is the 3rd inning and Jessie is the first to bat and he hits a base hit and then the players after him start hitting and he makes a run. So now the score is 1 to 3. Then later in the game Jessie hits the ball to the fence and we score more runs and win the game 6-4.

The last game we played tonight we were behind 5-1 and we come back and tie the game. And we are in the bottom of the 5th inning (they only play 5 innings), 2 outs, 1 runner on 1st, and Jessie at bat and he hits a line drive up the middle to the fence to bring in the winning run! The umpire gave him the game ball. He also had a great catch in center field and had a double play! His confidence has grown and I am so happy for him!

Gage also got a game ball from Coach Bill for having some awesome catches as pitcher and getting us some outs!

My hubby...the fence builder!

So my neighbor Annette and I have asked our hubbies to build us a privacy fence. We actually have all the sides but the one that goes between our houses and the front already built. So our DH's spent the last 2 days building it for us and we are so thankful! Now the kids can go outside and play in the backyard without me worrying about them going to the front yard...and her dog can run free in her yard...here are some pics!

Thank you Andy and Randy!
