Fall Ball
The new season started two weekends ago and we managed to get rained out the first weekend and then re-scheduled the second weekend only to find out the re-schedule had been re-scheduled and we couldn't make it since we had plans. NOTE TO THOSE IN CHARGE: Don't expect people to check their email a few hours before the scheduled T-ball time, especially on a Sunday!
Anyhow, he was already dressed up for his game so I took a few pics. So cute!

Officially Summer
I love how Memorial weekend jump starts the beginning of summer. Lawyer's official last day of school for the school year was last Thursday so we have stayed busy doing absolutely whatever we want! What better way to depict summer than to be a naken 4 year old boy, eating a popsicle with your feet dangling in the pool at the end of a long, summer day. Ah!
I may go light on posts this summer...I'm so incredibly busy with work and something has to give so that I can still maintain my time with my family. I'm thinking of doing just a picture each day to share what we are up to. We'll see...staying away from my blog is like taking a huge part of my creativity away.
Until next time!

Future Class Clown of 2022
His antics and hilarity are never-ending, people.
You can not imagine the number of photos I took from one T-Ball game last week that were of Lawyer doing anything for a laugh.
See that picture above? You might not be able to tell what he's doing...
then you zoom in and see this...the "pitcher" giving a secret thumbs-up to his die-hard fan base.
And this picture? Lawyer's dancing 'cuz he made it to first base (the ball is still in play...see the first baseman waiting on the outfield to throw it to him?)...he has no shame.
This? It's Lawyer's "spazoid" run. He has many variations...and they never get old...except when the coach is getting fed up and the runner behind him is passing him.
I'm not certain what is going on here...I figure it's either free-style dancing or karate, I haven't yet determined the answer.
Huh. Moving along...
Lawyer is a notorious nail-biter. He gets this from his dad who is also a notorious nail-biter. I have to admit though, at Lawyer's age, I did the exact same thing. My point is, we decided to start having him start his games with a piece of gum to hopefully deter him from wanting him to chew on his nails and keep his eye on the game. Well, it ended up being even worse than the nail-biting since we saw the gum constantly going in and out of his mouth using his hands or the gum hanging out of his mouth, as is the case with the picture above.
I'm not certain Lawyer got the memo, but a game was going on while he decided to stop and have play-time in the dirt. Specifically he wasn't watching the ball and it zoomed past him. He tried to get down to it but, since he wasn't keeping his eye on the ball in the first place, he decided while he was down on the ground, he might as well play.
And totally changing the subject, here's what we had for dinner last night:
Loaded Hamburger w/ grilled red onions, arugula, pepper jack cheese and tomatoes on a kaiser bun
Guacamole Salad (seriously, you MUST try)
Sliced Strawberries

A Heart Full of Treasures
This weekend was fun and funny. Lawyer had his first T-Ball game on Friday night and it was COLD! It had been around 70 on Friday around 3:00 and within a few hours, it had dropped to about 45, cloudy and VERY windy...which put the windchill probably somewhere in the low 30's.
The picture above pretty much summed up how we all felt throughout the game. We all wanted to cry and Lawyer did a good job of that the ENTIRE game! He literally cried going up to bat, running the bases, fielding the ball and sitting in the dug-out. Lawyer is obviously not a cold-weather sort of guy...he likes water, sand, sun and the beach. And he comes by that honestly with both Jason and I as his parents.
Anyhow, the "officials" (aka parents) finally called the game because it was getting colder and colder.
Lawyer hit the ball pretty well but his method of running the bases were hysterical.
We can not understand for the life of us, why he wanted to keep running to third base first when he played pre-tball all last year and knows to run to first, well, first. When he would get to 3rd base and the coaches would tell him to run to home plate, he would run to the pitcher's mound and then first and then he would run to home. Good times.
You can see the coach looking at Lawyer while pointing to home plate. I like how Lawyer and his teammate both end up getting to home plate at the same time.
The Opening Day Parade and all games on Saturday ended up getting cancelled due to the cold and wind...fine by me! I'm a fair-weather girl.
Sunday ended up being beautiful. Jason got our outdoor speakers installed (thanks Dad!) and we all literally spent all day (and a lot of the night) outside. We ate our lunch outside, we read and ate popsicles on the new chaise lounge, the yard got mowed and vegetables/plants got watered.
And the best part of all was that it was Movie Night in our backyard. Jason pulled out the ol' trusty TV and all three of us piled onto the chair to watch Madagascar 2 and Peter Pan.
These are such wonderful things that we do as a family that I just know that I will hold them dear to my heart. I pray that Lawyer holds onto these memories as well when he gets older and possibly has movie night with his own family, because that's what he did when he was a kid.
