Twisted Sisters

I read my sisters blogs and try to understand how three individuals raised in the same house are so really totally different. I'm very much the homebody, Deb is very much go go go, and Jen always does the unexpected. We can hear the fight about nature vs. nurture but let me assure you it's got nothing to do with either. I also look at my boys and see how very different they are from one another. It shocked me the other day to get a picture in the mail from a get together and see Cole and Kyle standing exactly the same way. Then I look at Clayton and he is so totally different from either of them. Where does this come from? I'm glad they are not alike but sometimes it would make life a little more simple if they all were able to agree on one thing. Especially when it comes to dinner time. :) Enjoy the uniqueness of those around you.

Pictures from this week

Cole and Alyssia Voight getting announced as part of the court. He's the biggest guy and she's the smallest girl. Kind of unfair.

Throwing discuss at Goerke. took 3rd

Throwing shot. Look at Bill. He's never thrown shot but he's trying to help him anyway he can. Kids thought this was histerical.

Kyle pitching at Wittenberg. Did very well. He's pitched at every game so far except 1. I still get nervous. I think it's knee jerk reaction to all the wild pitches I've seen him throw.

Tales from the field

Life has been SO busy!!! Between work and running to the different fields to watch different kids it's been crazy!! Kyle is loving baseball (go figure). He's played 3rd, 1st and pitched. Surprisingly his pitching isn't as wild as it has been in the past. He's trying to adjust to the batting. Growing 6" and getting stronger has thrown him for a loop. He'll get there I'm sure.
Cole has been doing well at track. He's not throwing as far as he has in the past with the shot but that's because they have been trying to change the way he throws. Discus he's doing very well in and has been very excited about this. We're just trying to keep him focused for this last 20 some days of highschool.

Cole's been getting all kinds of stuff from Platteville and is really getting excited. We just got his letter of intent to play and the camp info.

Clay is just busy. He has been at friends houses, skateboarding and working in the garage with Bill. There are some days he doesn't come in until almost bed time. I can't believe how much he has grown and changed. Time sure flys.

I'm off to Wittenberg to watch Kyle tonight and then Cole tomorrow.
Prom this weekend and Cole made court.

Brothers

So this is what happens when you get into a fight with your brother. Monday night Cole was smartin' off of how Kyle was delusional and the fact that he is only a freshman. hearing this for a year has rubbed Kyle the wrong way. I went outside to talk to Bill and all of a sudden we hear pounding up against the door. This Picture is two days later. That night it was really puffy and red. Kyle was suppose to have his opening day of baseball the next day. Thank goodness it was cancelled. The girls gave Kyle the "Aww Kyle what happened" Poor baby. The teachers just asked him if he was stupid and if he has ever seen what his brother looked like. Well it took 15 years but it finally happened.

Happy Easter =:-)

Happy Easter to all!!! Hope everyone has an amazing day!

How to train a Husband

I couldn't believe it this morning when Bill is tearing apart the house looking for.... the keys to my parents car we were to return this morning!!! Really after three months of them letting us borrow the car because our transmission blew before they left. 3 months of telling him NOT to touch the keys he goes and looses them. Needless to say it was an eventful morning. I went to work after a wonderful brunch at my middle sis's. When I got home I cooked a pizza and went to get the pizza cutter and whamo bammo there were the keys in the silverwear drawer. Really how does this happen?! I really feel like the universal just likes to screw with me once in awhile. So we will be sending the keys back to my parents. Dad reassured me that they have and extra set. THANK YOU MOM AND DAD FOR THE CAR I LOVE YOU!!!!!

Cole's been accepted!!

It's official and I can finally sleep! Cole has been accepted to attend University of Wisconsin Platteville! This is what we have been fighting for. He will be entering the criminal justice program. I hope he stays with this degree. He has to sign his letter of intent to play football and the it's up to him to make the team. He's really excited but of course being the cool bean he is he's trying no to show it.
