Weekend Wrap Up

The weekend started with water day for Carson. 

Carson is a talker, especially in the car. One question leads to another, on and on. I must say that it's really nice when he occupies himself and stays quiet for any length of time.

Every time we see a Fed Ex truck, he calls it the name of his daycare + truck. I told his teacher that he is telling on them for the amount of stuff they order if he thinks that it is a truck for his daycare :)

Saturday and Sunday, we had the last two days of baseball for this season. 

We drove just under two hours to play in Kentucky. It was a HOT weekend.

They had some highs and lows, but ended up losing in the semi finals. Overall it was a good weekend of baseball and I think they had fun. I had fun watching them.

This was the last weekend of 11U baseball. Now, it's onto 12U. Miles has been playing with six of these kids since 7U. 

Doing what he loves.

The umpire was the ringbearer in our wedding. He is Darrin's cousin's son. We always see him at the ballparks, but he's never called our game. It was fun to have him. Our game got heated between coaches and fans and he did a great job in dealing with it. Miles loved having him behind the plate. He didn't give Miles any breaks either!

Miles had quite a cheering section. We enjoyed spending time with so many family members at the game. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture, but Darrin drove straight back from Orlando, where he had been since Monday, to surprise the boys. He didn't tell me until he was two hours away. They were so happy to see him, as was I! Carson especially missed Darrin and he was ecstatic when he showed up. Earlier in the day, he had seen a tall, bald man and thought it was Darrin. He started jumping up & down saying "Daddy's here!". It about broke my heart for him. His daddy is a great dad though, and showed up for real.

Sadly, they lost about ten minutes after he showed up and he had to get right back in the car and drive home. That's how sports goes.

Miles and Carson were excited to see Aunt Crystal. We haven't seen her since Christmas, which is crazy for us. We used to see each other all the time when our kids were younger. Our lives have just gotten so busy. We sure do love her and Uncle Steve though!

The boys and I spent time drawing this weekend. That's always a favorite of mine. I told them that if they want me to play with them, that's a good way to suck me in.

Today officially began our staycation. Darrin had to take Carson to the doctor for an ear re-check. He got a good report. Miles and I went to Walmart to get some things for the week b/c I didn't plan ahead for a pick up order. 

We all go home at the same time and raced around the house to get everything put away and head out to the pool to start our week at home.

Because we got the pool, we are not going away for vacation. I am committed to making this week a relaxing vacation at home. We stayed in the pool for almost 5 hours this afternoon. I am getting a massage this week, the boys are going to the movies with Darrin, we are going to have some friends over, we are going to mini golf, and my mom & I are planning a trip to Ikea. We are on vacation even if we are at home!!!
