Weddings, Pools, and hotel mishaps

We went to LaCrosse for the weekend for my cousin Jesse's wedding. The service was nice. The groom looked like he was about to explode he was so excited and happy. It was a very nice time. It was nice to see cousins I haven't seen and awhile but there's never enough time to talk to everyone.
Kyle was in charge and Clay and Caleb. They swam, went for ice cream and swam some more. I think they are all water logged. Just when Kyle thinks he's done in the pool we bring another little sweety for him to swim with. He had no problem and is still laughing about all the silly little things that were said or happened.
Our hotel rooms air conditioner broke and the night time crew were not very helpful with trying to make us all comfortable. Bill (bless his soul) was so worried about us the he sat up in a chair all night  with the door open so we could get some sort of cool air. The day crew made sure we got a full refund. It was worth the trip!

Football Season Starts

Kyle and Bill are up at camp this week. We just get done with one sport and we are already on to the next. WOW!
Cole is working hard on his classes and at work. He is enjoying making his own money and I'm enjoying him not having to use mine. ;)
Clay is having fun this week just being able to sleep in and then go to the pool. He always seem to meet one of his friends there. He's having a sleep over tonight which he is so excited about.
I am just having a great time not being at work. The weather is wonderful and so far Clay has kept me busy and I'm able to catch up on things that I have let go during the many afternoons at the ball park. I would like one rainy day to keep me inside.
See you all at the wedding this weekend!

4!5! SIXERS!!

The dust has settled, the last ball is caught, the last out made,the last run made to the last game of a fantastic season. The boys had a fantastic season and ended up 2nd in the regional tournament. It was a fantastic run! We really need to thank all the coaches. They did a fantastic job keeping the boys playing together as a team. I can't imagine another team that played on and off the field so well. Congratulations on a great season.

Baseball, Apple Pie and Ice Cream

What a 4th of July weekend. It was a beautiful weekend. We spent most of it in Appleton at the ball park. Kyle played 4 games this weekend. It was fun Sunday night watching the game as fireworks were going off all around us. Bill stayed home with Clay so he could go to the fireworks and he had enough of the games for the week. The boys played ball well and really played hard. Now it's back to work and no more fun.

Bill and Clay are getting ready to go to Iola car show this weekend. Kyle has more ballgames and Cole is doing whatever it is that Cole does. Busy week ahead.

Quick update

We've been living at the ballpark. Kyle has played 7 games so far this week. Yesterdays double header, thankfully, turned into a single game. In 100 degree heat the boys were dropping quickly. We have 4 games this weekend in Appleton. No fireworks for this family.

Rocky passed away yesterday. We knew it was coming but to see the family in tears was so sad. Clay is really having a hard time with this. It's his first real loss and thats always the worst.

Cole is still enjoying his job and starts his classes this upcoming week. With Riverfront he will be able to get the three concerts in he needs.

Bill's getting ready for Iola along with Clay. They both love this week. We'll see if Clay stays the whole time again.

Have a safe and happy 4th of July!
