Tuesday & Wednesday are Clay's practice nights, then Michayla again on Thursday then Clay on Friday.. We are pretty burnt out on the practices..
Last Sat was Clay's first game. I think that the team did extremely well. Although they didn't win, the boys played awesome. Clay is the catcher again, and did an outstaning job. Mick was the Umpire. We could have forefeited the game due to the other team was the "Home" team and the home team is suppose to have the umpire but being as it was the first game we really wanted to play. Mick likes being involved doing the umpire job, but he really would like to be able to sit and watch a game or two. Last year I think he was the umpire every single game.. It gets kind of tiring..The rest of the weekend was nice. We did some running around on Sat afternoon. Laura needed a fence put up in her back yard for her little doggies, so we had some extra chain link lying around. Mick went over and put that up for her, while Laura and I headed off to Wal-Mart to do our weekly grocery shopping.
Mick is putting in a HUGE and I mean HUGE garden out back. It is so big he has to put the Corn in a whole nother area.. Anyhow, we are going to have green peppers, onions, beets, icky tomatoes, potatoes, and probably more stuff that I am not aware of, and then of course the Corn, oh I can taste it now!!
Sunday, Mick and Clay ran over to Emmett to pick up some stuff for Mick's work and on the way back got a flat tire. So his little trip ended up taking him over 3 hours. He dropped Clay off at my folk's house so that my dad and Clay could go to Kuna to do some more practicing. Clay has to be able to throw that ball consistantly to 2nd base, so he needs some work on getting it to the player each time.
It was like De-Ja-Vu, last year Clay got nailed in the nose at the opening game and ended up with a really bad fat nose. My dad called kind of paniced, Clay had gotten hit in the nose again while they were practicing.. Oh My Gosh... My dad was throwing back to home from 2nd and I am not sure if the sun was in Clay's eyes or what but it nailed him right in the nose.. I am almost sure it is broken, but too swollen to really tell. He's got two black eys underneath.. But one thing about my little man, he is tough!! He cried a little, got home, cleaned it up, took some tylenol then was outside on his 4 wheeler with in the hour.. My dad called about an hour and half after he dropped him off to check on him and Clay said to my dad, "my mom didn't raise me to be a baby grandpa." It was too cute. Although I wanted to baby him and keep him in the house quiet, he wasn't having that at all.
What's funny to me is that I guess I don't see Clay as being a "big boy." But he so is. He's almost as tall as me, can and does everything on his own and will be 11 years old in 4 months!! WOW, it's hard to believe that..
Anyhow, I raked the back yard and then mowed the front and back. It's so nice having a riding mower, I think that is why I always volunteer to mow unless one of the kids beat me to it. We have a well so we were able to turn the water on, and it has made a big difference in the way the grass has greened up.
Well this week we have 4 games, one Wed night, Thurs and 2 on Sat. My horse finally got her feet trimmed and so she's ready to be riden again. I am going to teach Sis how to ride this summer. She wants to try out for some of the mini-princess titles at some of the Rodeo's, so that should be fun!!
Off to get my hair done..
