Miscellaneous Mush

First let me just say HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEN!!! I didn't forget and I did talk to her that day. I have just had issues with my computer and have been running all over the country watching the kids.

Cole took 2nd for Discus and Shot put in Marion this week. Kyle's games got cancelled. he was suppose to have a double header today but because of the snow and rain the games got cancelled.

Bill's busy painting my dining room. He and Clay think we should leave the room the primer color. Picture Pepto pink. Almost as bright as Beth's bedroom.

I'm just trying to keep Cole focused this last week of school. He has some big projects this week and a few finals next week then he's done!!! It's really hard to believe we've gotten to this spot in ours lives so quickly. He is so looking forward and it's really hard to keep him here and focused. He also got a job working maintenance at my work. That should keep him busy.

This upcoming week we have Kyle's confirmation and track meets and games. Kyle is also umpiring this week as well.

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!
