I find such solace in the weekends! This past weekend was wonderful in so many ways.
Saturday was downright COLD. Sunday was downright WARM. That’s how the weather is where we live… and a cold Saturday will really make you appreciate a warm Sunday.
Saturday Justin’s high school baseball team {which happened to be the 1993 state champs} played his high school’s current baseball team… and the “old” men {all 5 of them} smoked the high schoolers! It was fun to watch, despite the chilly weather, and the kids loved cheering for daddy!
I didn’t see Justin play in high school, but if I were a betting woman, I’d bet that he’s just as good now {or better} than he was 16 years ago.
His parents were there too and oh my goodness do my children love their grandparents and the feelings are quite mutual. This picture {below} tickles me because it is the perfect representation of how they all feel about each other. Do you see Paige’s feet completely off the ground?
The kids loved watching, especially little Rover, even though he had a hard time finding daddy on the field. {For the safety patrol readers– his face was only through the fence when there were no pitches being thrown or hit!}
He didn’t, however, have a hard time finding the girl’s Sour Skittles, nor did he have a hard time shoving them in his mouth as fast as he could.
Here are the men and their coaches {for any Raider grads who might be wondering who showed up}! I don’t know why the fact that they are holding up #1′s cracks me up but it sure does. I guess that’s what state champs do, even if it has been 16 years!
Sunday was a lot of fun too… just in a much warmer way. And I’m going to let the pictures speak for themselves. Except this… I love to watch my children imitate and try to please their father.
Be back soon… with some grass!
Could we maybe move the commune there 
And one more thing in this already too long COMMENT–Darby, I want to kill you for introducing me to Pirate’s Booty!!! My booty is currently holding onto an entire package.
