Ball Season is coming to an end!

Baseball has consumed our lives for quite awhile now and I loved every minute of it! I love watching my boys play ball. Stratton is finished with his games and Trenton has a couple more next week and we'll be done. I will miss it! Stratton pitched for the first time this year and he did really well! My little man played 2nd. He looks so little out there on that big field, but he acts 10 foot tall and bullet proof! He is very entertaining to watch!

Happy Birthday Stratton!

Today is my oldest son's birthday! He's 9 today! Wow, They sure do grow up quick! Stratton is my very shy child. He can also be quick tempered, but usually just at home. I wanted a boy so bad when I found out I was pregnant with him! I was so excited when I found out that he was a boy!

On December 15, 1999, at 2:15 am, after 17 1/2 hours of labor, I finally gave birth to my first baby! He was 8 lbs 10 ozs and 21 1/2 inches long. He had beautiful skin, a perfect round head, and the sweetest little chubby face I'd ever seen! I was so in love with this baby! He was perfect! Big, healthy, blonde haired, blue-eyed and beautiful!

Stratton has always been a pretty good kid. Of course he had his moments, but they all do, don't they?! When he started Kindergarten, he struggled with school work for awhile. He slowly started catching up and this year, he made the honor roll! I was so proud of him. He loves to read, play video games, play sports, and fight with his brother. He's growing way too fast and growing out of all his clothes!

Here are some older pictures of Stratton. I got Shelley to scan the ones she had, so I could post him. Of course the newest one is on my side bar! Enjoy!

The Right Answer

I had a lot good guesses on what my 3rd grader got in trouble for at school...kissing girls, talking, firearms violation(crazy Dean..lol), fighting...But no one got it right! So, here's what he did...as embarassing as it was to hear..He peed behind a tree on the playground at recess! When I asked him why he did that, he said that he was afraid to ask to go inside because he thought they wouldn't let him! He wouldn't have got caught, but one little boy saw him walk behind the tree and saw what he was doing. He told the teacher, and she even went and checked for a wet spot, because she never thought he would do something like that!!! I tried to explain to him that doing that is NOT appropriate at school! In our own backyard, yea, but NOT at SCHOOL!!! I also told him that I was sure they would let him go inside to use the bathroom if it was an emergency like that, so to please ASK next time!!! I guess it could've always been worse?!!

Last Game of the Season

Yesterday was Stratton's last football game of the season. This was his first year to play. He didn't know much about it at all when he started, but he finally began to catch on in the end. He didn't get much playing time each game. He wasn't very aggressive, I think because he was scared he would do something wrong. But, I think next year will be better. He likes it a lot! Here a some pics from the game.

I had to keep chasing Kennedie because she kept wanting to play under the bleachers.(see below) The pictures where they are all lined up on the field is when they gave them their trophies for the season. We came in 3rd. (i think...LOL) It was a lot of fun, but I am glad it's over with!

Oh yea, we lost by the way, but it was a very good game!
