All Star Surprise
We thought that we were done at TABB and then we got an All Star email letting us know that Marsh had made the Bronco Blue team and Timmy was asked to be a coach.
My favorite part (or the part I love to laugh at the most) of PONY All Stars is that the Manager and Coaches must dress in full baseball uniform. Lol! Too funny. I've never seen Timmy in person in a baseball uniform.
Here, 4 your viewing pleasure:
Our All Star experience is over now but, we had a ton of fun. Our coach was great (he's Marshmellows travelball coach too) all the boys learned a ton. It was 5 weeks of intense baseball. Practice was pretty much everyday that we weren't playing. I was very busy.
Here are a few pictures from our sanction tourney:

And, it's over.
It really hasn't sunk in yet. When Tyler finished at TABB, I cried. It hit me hard. I think because I've had so many conflicted feelings during Marshmellow's last years at TABB, it might be the reason I don't have the same feelings as with Tyler. I was ready to be done I think. It is time to move on and and I am so happy.
We met so many nice people and have made some very good life long friends. The Lord sent me my BFF Kim right when I needed her. (Ok, so now I'm crying. Haha) Both Marsh and Tyler have friends that have extended beyond just being at the field too. Timmy has a great job thanks to connections made at TABB. I am just so thankful for it all.
I will miss my good friend Jessica and her wonderfully run snackbar but, my waistline won't. Lol!

Daisy
Do you see this face? This is her "I want you to pay attention to me" face. What you don't see in this picture is a ratty flat volleyball in my lap. She's waiting for me to throw it. This is also the face she uses when she wants to E-A-T or go O-U-T-S-I-D-E. You have to spell around her, like you do with your kids when they are too young to spell. God forbid you mention food or going outside around her when you have no intention of doing either of the two things mentioned. Haha. The bad thing is, she's learning how to spell. Now even if you spell the two words and she knows you're talking about her, her butt/tail starts wagging fast and you get this:
She gets closer and starts "talking" to you. Just think Chewbacca from Star Wars and you got it.

Quick to Honk, Slow to Help
I sometimes walk Tuesday to school. We walk a long a very busy street for a short period of time. Today, on my way back, there was a white suburban in the middle of the busy intersection and people were honking at it. When I got closer, I saw that it was out of gas and the driver and her passenger were trying as hard as they could to push the suburban to the gas station on one of the corners. I saw ONE man get out of his car to help them. One.
How hard would it have been to get out of the car to help these poor ladies instead of sit behind the wheel of your car and honk at them? I know we're all busy, that we have places to be but, how different would our world be if we could get out of our own way every once in awhile and help one another.
Yesterday, Tuesday and I saw a squirrel get hit by a car. Now, our area is overrun with squirrels and we see them dead by the side of the road all the time but, we have never seen one killed before our eyes. It was incredibly sad and the poor squirrel was still alive but, I knew it was just a matter of time before he too ended up on the side of the road......dead. We were on our way to get Marshmellow at school ( I too have places to be) so, I told Tuesday that after we got Marsh we would go back to see how he was. I was quietly hoping he would be out of his misery by the time we got back. Sure enough, we found him by the side of the road and he was dead. I carefully put him in a plastic bag and we brought him home to give him a proper burial. Marshy dug the hole and we each tossed a little dirt over him before Marsh filled the hole. Just that small act of kindness, in my eyes, makes a difference and taught the kids that even the smallest act is appreciated.
I hope that I can pass this along to my kids. We should never be TOO BUSY to help others. It's easy and in most circumstances, costs nothing.

What Social Life?
Baseball season is upon us and so is the part where we are never home. This week alone, if it weren't for the rain, we'd have a game last night (Marsh), Batting Practice tonight (Marsh), Games Wednesday (Tyler & Travis), Games Thursday (Tyler, Travis and Marsh), Game Saturday (Tyler & Travis). Whew!
Now, luckily, I don't go to Travis' games because he doesn't actually play with the Varsity team but, he does travel with them. So far, I've been able to do both Tyler and Marshmellow's game without too much overlap but, now that Timmy is working, it's going to get harder. I will probably have to take Timmy to work in order to get Marsh to his games on time and then leave him in order to pick up Tim and get back to the game. Tyler and Travis are covered because they have the bus to get to and from the games and we have wonderful friends who will give them a ride home if need be. It sure takes a lot of gas though, all that back and forth. Oh well. It's totally worth it.
