Let's Play Ball and Eat Pie

The weather is trying to get cooler out here but we are still stuck with the 90's and I am not enjoying it one bit. Benjamin has started t-ball and is doing good. Ben is such a lucky kid to have a dad that helps him understand all the fundamentals of baseball. You can really see how much he is learning and he is a fantastic baseball player. He is on the Avondale Yankees and is number 5. He had his first game on Monday, he got 2 RBIs and scored two points for his team as well.

In t-ball every player hits the ball and proceed to first base and proceeds with the next player until they have all rounded the bases. No score kept and no outs.

He has a great arm and can catch the ball great, that is if he isn't sweeping the dirt with his hat, dancing or bowing to the audience. I have to remind myself that he is just five years old and isn't a professional...well not yet...maybe next year. He loves it though and is already making friends with the whole team.

This last weekend Bill and Justice or should I say Callaboose Bill and Eagle Eye had a competition shoot at the Glendale Wild Western Festival. The boys were in a costume contest...it was funny because they kept asking me where their costume was. They are so used to wearing their little western outfits, it was a costume to them. Anyways, Ben also participated in a pie eating contest.

Susan G Komen 5K 2009

Well again this year we wanted to show our support for the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure. This time I was lucky to have Bill come along with Kristen and I. Before the race day Bill and I started to run together and I have to say it was really nice. The race is so much more than just raising money for breast cancer research, it is a time to remember my sister. I think about her always and wish she was still here with us. The event is such a wonderful atmosphere and so wonderful to attend but the greatest part is I feel so close to Laura everytime I go.

I am so proud that all three of us did so well. I think we did our best time this year!! Every year we just keep getting better. I didn't bring the camera because I didn't want to run with it but Bank of America had a photo spot to take pictures afterwards...so here it is. It is very pink, which I just love.
