mystery solved...

....Andrew busted.....

A couple week or so ago I was telling Jasper of the mystery that I was trying to solve in the playroom. Every night after saying good night to Andrew and Tyse I would head across the way to the playroom and check to make sure all the windows were locked (thats part of my OCD disorder) and every night the bigger of the two windows was unlocked. It was beginning to freak me out a bit because there are alot of days that the boys weren't even playing up there because we've either been outside or gone at a baseball game. I was within days of making Jasper put in some kind of security system in to see what in the world was going on. So, last night Jasper did the tucking in and I told him to check the toy room window (I dont think he believed that it was getting open every day). I was gonna show him....Yep the window was not only unlocked but it was completely open and there was that nice 300 degree heat comming through the screen. Jas came down stairs smiling and said he had solved the mystery. Andrew admited to having it open so he could hear the rodeo announcer. Ok, so the rodeo was this weekend, what about the last couple of months that it has been open. I waddled on over to his room and ask him about it. "Andrew Jay, why in the sam dickens is the playroom window unlocked every night?" He just smiled and said that he was PEEING out of it so he didnt have to come downstairs to go......are you serious...gross. He said he didnt understand why it was such a big deal because it wasnt splattering anywhere. Hopefully no one driving by noticed.

weekend....

RODEO....PARADE....

....almost to much excitement in one weekend for this small town family....



tyse had no clue what a rodeo was...before we went he kept calling it the "farmers market"



calf scramble...they let a few calves loose (with a ribbon tied to their tail) in the arena and the kids had to try and get the ribbon off...andrew is in the pink shirt with his rear facing the picture...


Swim Team Float



swim team float...andrew in stripped shorts



apparently we got to the parade a little late because when it was time for the kiddos to ride through we saw no kids....plus they started on the opposite side of main street...guess i better read the memo a little better next year...they had fun riding around anyway...



the "loot"

Like Father......



Like Sons....

last regular season game....

what a fun year of baseball it has been. at least i thought it was fun, andrew informed us on the way to the game he was not going to sign up next year. we'll see if hes singing the same tune when sign-up time comes around in the spring. if so it will just be tyse in t-ball, that otta be a good time.




team huddle


dennis went out of his way every year to provide metals for all the players. each metal had their name and something "special" that they accomplished throughout the course of the season.



jasper and dennis. a very important discussion im sure. i remember when andrew was first on dennis' team 3 years ago. dennis called and introduced himself, said his name was dennis(included his last name, but should prolly leave that out for privacy reasons) and that he was going to be andrews baseball coach. i thought who in the world is this dennis guy, never heard of the guy, and everyone i talked to had no clue who he was either. turned out that he was an awesome coach for andrew for the last 3 years.


after the game i found this picture on the camera, i asked andrew what it was and he said it was a picture that he took of the inside of his ear. (he was in tears after the game because of a earache, which probably explains all the the talk about not going out next year) anyway, better call the doc...that is some serious redness.
