Yes I'm a Slacker

I have been so busy that I have not had time to update anything, but now that Sean is gone to Iraq I will make a better effort to update more often so he can see what the kids are up to.

First of all, the auction is over!!! I am soooo happy. It was a huge success, and a lot of fun, but also a ton of work. 4 Years until the next one.

Jared has won 6 games in a row! He is doing great, and in the first game of his double header with Roseburg yesterday, he had a great double that brought in 3 runs to win the game. He will have a busy week this week, one of the other catchers is sick, and the other one is out with bad grades, so starting with yesterday's double header, he will catch 7 games this week. WOW. He better eat lots of bananas.

Monte has had a little break from basketball, and is back at it with a team from Medford. No games to report on yet, but coming soon.

Sean's Grandparents celebrated their 60th anniversary this past weekend in Eugene, so we all went to that, and had a lot of fun catching up with all of Sean's family. And Sean even got to come down from Portland for the weekend before he flew out Tuesday, so we could see him one more time. It was great. We got to see Oregon play a couple of innings with Washington, and The whole family showed their green and yellow pride when we stormed the Oregon store in search of mew sweatshirts. We should have taken a picture of all the green that we wore the next day.

And last, but not least, Grandpa bought a blast from the past (remember the huge orange bean bag) only this one is brown. The kids have loved it so far, and the whole TV room has been adjusted to feature the latest addition.

Baseball Again?

Well, it is that time of year again, baseball season! Lucky number 7 has hit the field again, and this year he is busy. They don't have enough catchers for all 3 teams, so Jared is playing on two teams. He catches for one team Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Then plays outfield for the other team Tuesdays, some Thursdays, and then catches one game and outfield another on Saturday double headers. Busy boy, but he loves it. So far it has been going well. The pen striped red and white lost a close one to the ominous Black and Blue Panthers last week 3 to 4, but Jared played well. But to make up for it the next day he got to take on another Panther team only playing with the other team, and they took them down with a commanding 5 to 0 win. This week has started off well with a win over the Black Tornado's, and a perfect game behind the plate for him. Then last night the team couldn't quite handle the Eagles, but Jared had 2 beautiful hits, one hit the center field fence, and another perfect game behind the plate.
