Here is the point in Jesse's game where they should have put on their rally caps. They started the 7th inning losing, 3-6. Then they got 2 runs in. Jesse had an RBI. It wasn't enough though, and they lost 5-6. It was a fun season anyhow. Now I need to talk him into playing on the tournament team next month. Otherwise, I'll have to wait until next spring for high school baseball.

Today is Father's day we all went to the horse race track. It was soo hot that day. Here's a pic of what we gave Joe for father's day. I went and got pictures of James taken for Joe and my Dad. James was in a Navy uniform.

They tried their "rally caps" but it didn't work. They are out of the playoffs and the 2009 summer baseball season is over.(Note: The photo was such a perfect shot of 'Boys at baseball game' that it looked to me (Maureen) like they were posing for a Rockwell painting, which made me want to see what it would look like in black & white. Thought I'd add the b/w version here for everyone to see. Nice shot, Marla!)

After a long day out in the sun at soccer, the kids asked me to bring them & their friends to the splash park by Cole's house!

My friend Margaret's son, Mike, competes in demolition derbys. He builds his cars in our barn. Today he competed in Metal Mayhem in Oregon, IL. Jesse, Lance, Madi & I went to watch. Mike's car is 883, the tan car. He qualified in that race to compete in the finals. But, there were many races after his and the kids didn't want to wait until the finals, so we left. On the way home, we had to stop in Hebron for a helicopter to land in the road. There was a motorcycle accident. When we finally got through, there was a dead deer by the side of the road. I think he may have hit it.

Remember Madi's jellyfish costume from last Halloween? I emailed a picture and description of the costume to Family Fun magazine. They emailed back and told me that they LOVED the costume and wanted to use it in their Oct. issue and pay me $100 for my idea! I don't think that they will use Madi's photo. Looking at last year's issue, it looks like they credit people for their ideas, but make their own costume and use their own models. That's ok. It's still cool that my idea is getting published!

Shelby and Annie slept over last night. So, inbetween storms we went to the splash park.

I was cleaning up my desk and found Juneau's favorite toy frog when he was a puppy. He loves it he carries it everywhere and sleeps with it. It's so cute.

Local teachers volunteer at 'Read Under The Trees' events throughout the summer. The kids were listening to this teacher read 'The Pain and The Great One'.

This morning when I went out to check the pool, I saw this piece of a leaf on the deck. I thought it looked so cool with the rain drops on it. They're like magnifying glasses.

Today me and James did something special for my dad and Joe. Sorry can tell till after fathers day. But we visited some dogs and the Dogs at home were sniffing me and James I think they were jealous

This is a picture of a train car in someone's backyard here in Spring Grove. It is near the baseball park. It seems that lots of people around here have them. I have seen at least 4. I have no idea why so many people have train cars in their backyards???

The before and after picture...Cole got his braces off today. We didn't tell anyone so, they were surprised when we got home.

I had planned a meeting time for our Cub Scout Pack to get together, to plan for our entry into the Railroad Days Parade. Note the empty room... Only one other family showed up, 15 minutes late and saying that they didn't even think they'd be in town on parade day (so, I'm glad they at least wanted to help!). Not sure how many boys will be participating, now or if I should bother registering us at all. Looking forward to not being cubmaster next year...

Lately every day is the same - work, then baseball. You've seen plenty of baseball pictures, so here is one from work - the child care kids painting a bench for either the Fairy Garden or Natureland.

Now this is what our back yard looks like...will we ever have grass? We are having a sod party on Wednesday night if anyone wants to join!

Today me and James went to the water park for the first time where we saw Farrell. James loved the water. Then we played wii, Joe won, I got my lowest score. Then we watched a movie while James was passed out for the night.

Jack and Sam (cousins from Colorado) just arrived tonight. They will be staying with us for a few days. We had a fire, s'mores and played tag in the back yard.
