I am terrible at titles

If you know me well enough, then you know I cannot stand the Red Sox. I think I can't stand them so much because of my brother. Matt and I didn't get along all that well growing up and in the '86 World Series there was NO way I was going to cheer on the same team as my brother. So, it just so happened they were playing the Mets! So, maybe that is why I became a Mets fan?! Anyway, two years ago my brother bought Ian an Ortiz #34 jersey. He can sorta wear the jersey now (I feel guilty...they cost a lot of money and I know Matt spent that amount, so Ian probably should wear it a few times...hahahahaha). So, last night we were watching the Sox play the Yankees (that would really be mom vs Matt) and Ian ran to his closet to get his jersey! He had just missed Ortiz up to the plate, but that's okay. I managed to snap this picture with a Sox guy on tv.

We had a great weekend! Let's see...Cailean worked overtime dayshift on Saturday. The boys and I woke up and realized that he had taken the truck and the t-ball gear was all in the truck. So, what was going to be a relaxing morning turned into a crazy morning. We quick had breakfast and got ready, then jumped into the car (mind you...Gavin doesn't like to hurry in the mornings and prefers to be at home...just imagine this...yea, not fun!!!). I called mom to see if she was up and we had woken her up. But, she seems to never let us down and told us to pick her up. So, off to Morrisville to get mom and then head down the road to the airport to find the truck. Mom really didn't know what was happening since I told her when she was half asleep! LOL It was good to have mom there because she drove around while I was in the parking lot looking for the truck. Cailean couldn't really help us out because there was a broken plane and he had to be there. But, found the truck...got the gloves and team hat and then headed back to mom's (she lives near the airport). Dropped off mom and Gavin and then Ian and I headed to soccer practice at 9:30am. He practiced in his t-ball gear plus his soccer shinguards! LOL We could only stay at practice for 30 minutes (we were soaked from sweat because of the weather) and then we rushed to the car, took off Ian's shinguards and then drove over to Bond Park for his t-ball game at 10:30am. Ian transitions very well, so that helped! We arrived to the field with 15 minutes to spare and he was 3rd to arrive, so he was 3rd in the batting order. Phew! Met mom, my grandparents and Gavin who arrived shortly after us.

The game...Ian had his best game, I think. For one inning he got to play pitcher. He caught the first pop fly for the team this season! He caught the ball and then ran to homeplate to get the kid running from third to home for another out, but coach told him to tag the batter. Go Ian! A very smart play! Always on it. Well...most times...the first time we took the field...lol...I yelled out to Ian, "Get your glove! Where is your glove?" He looks at his hand...yup, he ran back to the dugout to get that glove that we had to go get in Cailean's truck that morning!!!!!! Too funny!!! He was just on fire at every position he played and hit a few singles while at the plate.

Y'all might wonder what Gavin does during these t-ball games. Well...he and his buddy, Stone play baseball. Very rarely will he sit and watch the game, but that's okay. He brings his glove and a wiffle ball to each game. Stone prefers to hit and Gavin prefers to play outfield! He told Ian after the game, "Ian, that was a great catch!"

We drove all over creation later in the day looking for sneakers. Ian needs a new pair and we have not had much luck. Definitely NO luck on Saturday. Sunday morning we went to church and then Sunday School. Today was the first day of the new Sunday School season. Gavin had NO problems going into the 3 year old classroom. He is with all of his buddies, so he was loving it! Ian moved up to Faith Quest. He has been part of Faith Walk for 3 years, so now we're big time and in the first grade group. I'll be splitting my time between the 3 year olds and the 1st graders. After we met the fam at Bob Evans and then we headed to another Dick's Sporting Goods and had luck with sneakers. Ian is wearing a size 2 1/2!!!!!!

Monday morning the kids will play with Ben and Luke while I'm at work for a meeting. Thanks Jessica! When Cailean gets home in the afternoon we are off to Kingswood to find out Ian's teacher and meet her (not too many males work at the school, so we do know his teacher is a female!). Then, off to Ian's final t-ball game!

Here's a picture I took of Gavin with Cody. Gavin put the hats on and thought it was the funniest thing ever that Cody was keeping a fire hat on! LOL What a goof ball!
