Feeling Helpless

This morning I woke up to find out one of Cole's friends was in a car accident and passed away. To have to make the call was so hard. This was a close friend that he had a summer full of plans with. We tried to get Cole to stay in Plattville but he needs to be with his friends and so he is making the trip home. A bunch of the kids are coming home to be together. I know this pain and wish I could make it stop for him. Please say a prayer for the Trzebitowski family as they deal with the loss of their very funny, positive, always smiling, living life to the fullest son.

Baseball,Brewers,and Beauty

 It's been a fun and busy week! We started out with Kyle playing baseball in LaCrosse on Saturday then to the Brewers game to Celebrate Jen's Birthday! Caleb and Clay sharing peanuts, fist bumps and laughs with each other and all the kids at the game

 Deb,Tim, Andy and Beth enjoying the game

 Kyle with his Aunt Jen who made his day by being able to watch the game with all of his family in the Dew Deck. He was soooo excited to be there. 

 Then we had 2 other baseball games and then we are on to Prom. Kyle in his first formal attire. He thinks he's so sexy.

 Kyle and Hannah. She's freezing by the way. Temp is only 25 degrees. The girls were all troopers through the pictures

 The couples

Kyle and Hannah starving and ready to get rid of the cameras and parents and go eat and become dancing machines.

Oh My What a Day!

Saturday was such a beautiful day for a double header! I actually got sunburned. Kyle played the second game and did an awesome job behind the plate and at the bat. He hit an out of the park homer. I think we both were shocked. I love baseball season because you just never know what's going to happen.
It's a busy week full of baseball, work, school stuff, getting ready for prom and the big birthday celebration. It's going to be such a fun week. Here we go!

Its Spring!!!

It's hard to complain about the weather when it's normal to be in the 40's and 50's at the end of March. We got spoiled with the 70's. The boys have been playing outside until bed. Kyle has been practicing baseball outside. He has his first game on Monday but, it's suppose to thunderstorm. Love spring sports. Cole is getting everything ready to to make the transfer home. He'll be home on Tuesday night for Easter. I'm starting to re-do his room. Since he and Clay switched rooms it's hard for me to see him in a little guys room. I found a steal for new sheets and a comforter that match the colors I like perfectly. Clay's team did not do well at the Destination Imagination tournament. The boys at least had a good time. Now he's just dying to ride his bike to school and also to start riding his skateboard he got for Christmas. It's time to go shopping in Appleton. OK once Clay wakes up and Kyle gets out of the shower.  Have a great weekend!

Vacations Over

Well it's been a fun week off of doing nothing. It's back to work and to school for us all. It's nice to go back to work and have no major issues to deal with. I did find out that I have to go to Indianapolis for work the end of April. Clay has his last day of bowling club today and has really enjoyed it. Now it's time to figure out what he's going to do this summer. So many choices.

Off to go look at paint colors and comforters for an updated look in Cole's new room. Would like to get it done before Easter. We'll see.

Update on the life of the Rogers Family

March has been a very busy month so far for all of us.
Cole has turned 20. OMG!!! How did I get a son this old? Unfortunately he had the flu the day before and of his birthday. He's had some major decisions in his life. He has went in to get tested for ADD and found out he also has this. He's on medication and so far the results are very positive. It's been a long time convincing him that he needed to get tested but he finally did. He has also decided to transfer back to home to go to school. Yay!  This will at least save us money!

Kyle had suffered his first heartbreak. His girlfriend of a little over a year broke up with him. He's not taking this real well. Kyle tends to go to extremes and is overthinking this. He has started baseball and is in his glory with this.

Clay is busy turning 12 and riding his new bright green bike. We can see him coming a mile away. He is getting ready for the destination imagination competition this weekend. I hope they do well. The team has been having a little difficulty with the team work aspect of the challenge. Clay has just been busy doing what Clay does. I have a tough time keeping up with him.

Bill and I have just been busy working and trying to keep up with the boys. We can't wait until the games start.

I have to start to find someone to take Kyle's senior (OMG!) pictures.

Have a great last week of March!

The Things I Do for Love

Kyle and I are off tomorrow for a weekend in Minneapolis to watch Hannah in the National Dance Competition! I can't wait! It's going to be nice to get away. We are leaving early so we can play before we need to be at the competition. Kyle's on a mission to find a new baseball glove and I'm just on a mission to relax. I hope the girls do well the next couple of days. We will be home before the storm (hopefully). Have a great weekend!
