It's been awhile and my brain is full of scattered thoughts from this past month. It's gone from summer, to fall, to winter in a week. Baseball has ended - Kellan's season and MLB. Dexter got sick, got better, and got sick again. Zoe cheered at her first high school game. I'm still on the project at work that was supposed to be complete in January 2011, then April, then July, then Oct. - we're shooting for Dec. 5th now. Halloween has come and gone - I'll save that for another post. Jim and I spent our 12th anniversary with the Foo Fighters. I went on Facebook for the first time in years - oh, I owe lots of emails! I should probably just retire from trying to keep up with more than one online form of social networking.
Zoe is still taking cheer leading/gymnastic classes. We signed her up for a fund raiser at the high school - one practice followed by cheering at half time for the high school football team. Her and every little girl in her kindergarten class participated, though she enjoyed spending most of the time with the high school girls. Video is of practice at the high school, then game day. She's the one in all pink, two pig tails in her hair (see below with the pictures for video).
Kellan finished another baseball season. Speaking for Zoe and Dexter, we're all glad to have Sundays back. They finished the season 4 and 6, which is pretty impressive since it was a more competitive league. Kellan's been wanting to pitch all season. Finally with lots of practice leading up to the playoffs, Coach Jim put him in. He walked a couple, but made all three outs the inning he pitched - two strikeouts and one ball hit back to him for an out. He's told us he's not interested in any other sports, so Jim's signed him up for a once a week "practice" of fielding, hitting at a place called the Sandlot. Currently, the 3rd base coach for the Rockies is teaching a small group of them to field.
Until next time...

Most kids his age are watching The Wiggles, Sesame Street, etc. Dexter has been drawn to the force. We're really not that bad - he does watch 2 yr. appropriate shows too. |

We had maybe two days of fall between an 80 degree day and a 17 degree day. |

Last day of fall baseball... Last Kid's Quote: This will make sense to anyone who has seen our downstairs bathroom (it's decorated in beer bottle caps) Zoe escorting one of the neighborhood boys (5yr old) to the bathroom. Boy: "WOW...did, did, did (stuttering) your dad drink all that beer?" Zoe: "No, my dad doesn't drink beer. My MOM drank all that beer." |
