Christmas in June...

I always thought that Christmas was insane until now... We just finished our 12th weekend in a row with at least two baseball games and usually 3. Not to mention practices and weekly games that pretty much consume every other evening of the week. Let's just say that we've made a whole bunch of new friends (marmots) at the park where the boys play ball.

I'm not complaining... much... but the idea of a laid back summer is just an idea. I don't think it really exists because now we're headed off into "Summer Ball". Tyler is on the travelling tournament team and for this year Zack is on the devlopment team. Practices are on opposite nights so that means 4 nights at the park PLUS alternating game times on weekends. (Did I mention the grass needs cutting, the house needs painting and the dog needs to go to the lake??

In addition, Britt is graduating from Gr. 7. Big day for her. She's quite excited and we are quite proud of her. Her last graduation was in Kindergarten so it's been a while since she's graduated. I'm not sure why, but she doesn't want me to chaperone the dance after. Could it be that there's a boy somewhere in the mix that I don't know about??

Stay tuned for more in the life and times. I'll be the guy with the farmer tan...

That is insane. I will no longer complain about my busy life. Yay Brit! The girl with the parent chaperones is not cool. Do her a favor and skip the dance.

Brit looked absolutely fabulous! Hope you guys all had a great night, and I really hope you cut her a little slack...

Farmer tans are "in"? That's great news. We opted NOT to stay for the dance, much to Britt's relief. Had enough fun asking her "who is it" when the young guys crossed the stage.

Funny thing was that the girls are all in gowns and guys are in shorts and tee's.

I think it's a prophetic sign of life for them 40 years from now. She in her finest, he in a baggy tee saying "What???...."
