Get your head in the game!

Kenny's first All-Star game is tomorrow! Wish us luck! Kenny is sooo tired. He's had practice almost everyday. He's even lost some weight, but don't worry. He had a few extra pounds to waste. For the last three seasons he's played pitcher or first. Looks like they will be playing him in the outfield. No worries, you can put this boy anywhere and he will perform.
So if your kids aren't into High School Musical. It's this cute movie from Disney. The kids like it! They've got a song in it called "Get your head in the game". I asked a friend to bring a copy of the cd over. I'll use it to get Kenny hyped before the game.
Wow, I wonder how far they'll go? Don't worry I'll keep ya updated!

Hey gotta moment tell me two interesting facts about yourself!

Nap, what's that?

This girl will not take her naps! It's been days, weeks, no months since she's taken a real nap. Yeah, as soon as you think their on a schedule they change it. I know, it's part of growing and changing. I just can't take it anymore! I've got stuff to do, you know. I'm not talking about fun, personal stuff, either. You know, clean the bathroom, do dishes, wash and fold laundry, etc.
So, hurry up and change the schedule again!

No, my baby is the smartest!

It is so much fun to watch babies grow up. Every week they are learning something new. A month ago Christina learned how to sit and a couple of nights ago she learned how to "raspberry". Today she is waving at herself, it's so funny! She hasn't figured out how to turn her hand around, though. Every time I turn around she is doing something new. Just tonight, she figured out how to pull herself up using her toy. It's just amazing at what they can accomplish!Mateo keeps trying to teach her how to crawl. "Any day now", he says!
This week she turns six months. Time goes by way to fast! It seems like just
yesterday we brought her home. She was all bundled up in blankets and would sleep all day. Now, she wants to grab and touch everything. If she sees something she is determined to get it. She'll roll and scoot to get it.
Having a baby in the house again is life changing. It's been eight years since we've had a baby around. I'm reminding the boys to keep the floor clean or "quiet the baby is sleeping". I'm always late to everything. But she's worth it!

Baseball season, it's over or is it?

Let's just say we're baseball fanatics! My husband plays softball and my boys play baseball of course. For those that don't know, after a certain age boys become men and they want to continue their sport. So they have men's softball. My boys have watched their dad play since they were tots. They now have the same love of the game!
The boys had a fun season this year. They even ended up on the same team. Boy, were we lucky! Before, we were running from each practice to each of their games. Then we got a call that Kenny's team needed a player. "Would you like for Mateo to move up to Minors?" He was on the Farm Giants and a little bored there. He was ready to play with the bigger boys. When the season first started we asked the boys if they wanted to move up a league. Kenny to Majors and Mateo to Minors. They each said no. They don't realize how advanced they are.
So they had fun playing on the same team! It's not going to happen often with their age difference. Next year Kenny will be in Majors and Mateo in Minors. I sure do love watching them play! Kenny is becoming such a great pitcher. Mateo has been playing shortstop but next year he'll decide what position he would like to play.
Now that the season is over, you'd think things would calm down. Yeah, right!Kenny made the All-Star team! Practice, practice, practice! My dad says too much practice. But for those that love the game and want to take it somewhere. That's what it takes!
Just one major side-note! I'm not one of those pushy mom's. Although my dad would say I am a little crazy! I guess if yelling at the ump to get some glasses, counts? Then, yeah, I'm crazy. But not pushy!

Kids and the things they do!

Two reasons why I jumped to start this blog.

1. To keep a journal of my ever growing children and the things they are doing and experiencing.
2. To tell the world of my sons' "Magic Trick"

I have three children, Kenny 10yrs. old, Mateo 8 yrs. and Christina 6mths old. Each one of them special and unique in their own way. So let me tell you about the magic trick. My "wild child", Mateo was playing with some paper. He rolled up the paper and was showing everyone how he could make it disappear. "Watch my trick" he said! Ta Da! The end! Not!

He disappeared for awhile, I thought it was the end of that trick. He returns from the bathroom with a worried look on his face! I was sitting with my mom and we both knew! "Mateo", I said, "You didn't put that paper in your ear, did you?" He did. He now could not get it out! I ran for the tweezers hoping I could reach it. I told him, "If this doesn't come out you know we have to go to the ER?" I love using the ER to teach them a lesson of; What not to do to end up at the emergency room!

After four tries, I finally reached the rolled up paper. You could just see the look of relief on his face! "Wait till your Dad here's about this", I said. Not five minutes later did he call. "Guess what your son did?", I said. "What did Mateo do now!" He said!
