GETTING CLOSER...

To fall posts.  Just a few tid bits to finish up July and August.  I'm fabulous at this blog thing, I know.  It's an art form really.

Cole's All-Star tournament happen to fall over our 13th Anniversary on July 18th and while my parents were still here so, we snuck out to have an early dinner at our favorite hibachi restaurant before the game.  It was soooo good, as usual, but it took a little longer than expected and we ended up having to make a major mad dash to make it to the game on time.  Oops.

 

The boys ended up losing their 2nd game the very next night.  And that ended our time playing All-Stars...Thank goodness.  The next week after baseball was finally over, the team met up at a frozen yogurt place to hand out pictures and trophies.  Good idea, Coach Chad, because yogurt is what all 9 year old boys want.  Geez.  In case you missed it from my earlier posts, that man is a VERY sore subject in our family.

A week later school started.  Yep, and just like that the summer break was over.  Unbelievable.  First Day of School...August 2nd!

Nathan's company picnic was at the Family Fun Center again this year.  It's normally very stressful for Nathan since he has to mingle with all the employees and families for a while and not be with us but, the kids really enjoy it...Especially since that's pretty much the only time we go.

Oh my gosh, this is random but had to be documented.  Cole was actually willing to help with some manual labor instead of being lazy watching TV or playing his video games.  He didn't help us with the first truck load full of these durn teeny pebbles earlier in the week but, he was in the blazing sun so that makes up for it a little.

 

I doubt Cole will be doing anything like that anytime soon.  He was beat.  September posts full of football and fall baseball are soon to come.  Yay!  

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving Day!  The Dallas Cowboys won and the Texas Longhorns just kicked the winning field goal.  Whew...That was close!  It's probably safe to assume that you'll be seeing my Thanksgiving post around Valentine's Day. :-)
