Baseball Summer '09

Kinda weird that the Stixx logo keeps turning out blue. It is supposed to be red! Anyway...Justin has been playing on 2 teams this year- Stixx for super league and Cubs for city league. Yeah, we've been insanely busy, but what could be more fun- especially since Emily & Brock have been to most of the games! It is such a phenomenal way to spend good quality time with the family! Justin has played very well & of course we are so proud. We've had lots of friends and family come out to watch and it had made our summer so fun. He has played short stop more this season than ever, along with pitching, 2nd, & 3rd base. He really wants to catch so we'll see if he gets to do that more. This is such a fun time of year for us!

Gary and Justin traveled to Omaha Nebraska with the Stixx for the "Slump Buster" tournament. They had an amazing time! What a great season!

Baseball with the Swenson & Weis'!

Nothin' like a friendly ball game with yer pals!! It was finally warm enough to play! We spent the day at the park soakin' in the sun & some good bonding time. We love these families and it was such a fun treat- what a great beginning to summer!!

Fun in the Sun in St. George

Over the weekend of March 20, we got to go to Justin's March Madness baseball tournament. It was so warm and relaxing! After the games, we enjoyed the nice weather on the golf course. Poor Cammie just had foot surgery but she was definatley a trooper! We were able to stay in a beautiful and gigantic home because Russ & Gary painted the garage floors while we were there. Fun & productive! You can't ask for much more than that!!

Here It Comes!

The crazy baseball season is upon us! But as crazy as it is- I sure love it. Justin has been practicing with his team in a warehouse all winter and now he finally gets to play in the warm outdoors! We will go to St. George next weekend and that will be the start of lots of tournaments and weekly games. He loves it so much- and we love it even more. Even Emily likes to go to the games & watch all the cute boys. She'll even cheer for him once in a while! This is also the season that we have to ask our friends to bear with us as we are always either at a practice or a game and don't have a lot of free time. But it does provide us with a great opportunity to bond with other sports parents & make new great friends. So I'm gonna pack the trunk with blankets and extra jackets, and get the folding chairs, cooler, and gatorade ready. Let the games begin!
