thats my kid!

have so much to brag about i dont know where to start.
kane pitched a game on saturday where he had 8 strike outs...only 3 batters got on base! his team won 5-0. it was great! from that game we went to eleanors 1st softball game of the year. she played catcher, and had 2 great hits. kanes team didnt do as well in their next 2 games on saturday, but made up for it on sunday. on sunday it looked like we were going to loose. there was no time left in the game. our team was down by 1, we had 2 outs 2 runners on base. kane was up to bat. we were either going to win, or loose. i was soooo scared. kane had struck out 2x earlier in the day. it would either be great, or it was going to be crushing. first pitch is thrown, strike. second pitch is thrown...kane swings...its high in the air....is the kid in right center going to catch it........no! ITS OVER THE FENCE!!!!!!!! WE WON!! kane hit his 1st ball over the fence for a walk off home run! at the time it happened im sure i looked like i had won a million dollar. i was screaming and jumping with another mom on the bleachers. i lost one of my shoes under the bleachers and stubbed my big toe. i could not have been more prouder!

yes....I am still here

so, things have been very crazy for the last few weeks. i hope to be able to post a little more often than once every 3 weeks, but im not going to promise anything! it might be 6 weeks until my next post * - )
our weekends have been full of baseball tournaments and softball practice. kane and eleanor are loving it! kane had a close call last monday at baseball practice. he was pitching and one of the bigger kids on the team hit a line drive into kane's lower left ribcage. it was SCARY. that is the worse he has ever gotten hurt. it was just a freak thing that i was even there. i had gotten there before practice was over, and i am always late. i was sitting in the truck with el and shep when one of the other moms came running to the window saying kane just got hit really hard. anyway, to make a long story short. nothing is broken, he set out for a week, you can still see a baseball imprint. we have more baseball this weekend, of course! kane is so excited to get back into the game. last weekend was the first time that he had to set out the entire tournament. it almost killed him. it didnt help that it was like 20 degrees. i so hope that it is warmer this weekend. we will be watching baseball all day saturday (4 games) and most of the day sunday, it will depend on how much they win.
eleanor has started softball practice and should have a game very soon. her coach is worthless!!! i know, it is t-ball. but it is ridiculous that they let any moron that checks the box that he will coach, have his own team. you should at least have to do a coaching clinic. this is doing an injustice to the kids!
my little shepherd has been having trouble biting at mother's day out. he is doing much better now and we pray that it will continue.
