Life without baseball?

We have had 5 months of nonstop baseball. We have finally reached an end to the season. I am so relieved. However, now I can't help but ask the question, "now what do we do?" We have become so used to planning our every evening around either practices or games. It is going to be weird (but nice) not having anything to do in the evenings. I do not have any plans of filling that time with other activities. Those will come soon enough. I think I will just enjoy the rest of my summer.

Random going's on

I haven't blogged for awhile. It is a busy time of year! So what have I been up to? Lots and Lots of baseball! Tristan, Braxton and Tanner have been playing baseball. So we have had 5 months of baseball! Baseball 5-6 days a week for 5 months! Time to be finished for awhile. At least for 1 month before we start into football and soccer.
I am not sure if I like this hot weather. It is over 100 degrees for the next 3 days at least. And then it will calm back down into the 90's. It makes it very difficult for the kids to go outside and play. They are driving me crazy today. I feel like it is a snow day and they are all cooped up inside. Not good for any one! I am looking forward to going to LaGrande next week. I think I am going to leave everyone home. Of course I am bringing Tristan. But other than that I am going to be child free for 5 days. I am looking forward to sleeping in, taking naps and going to see some movies. No children tattling, fighting or crying. That is what I call a vacation!
I picked a 5 gallon bucket of beans from my garden yesterday. I canned 20 quarts. It is nice seeing food in jars. Especially food that I grew! We have been very blessed this year. Our garden has really taken off! So I should fill lots and lots of bottles.

Tristan's National All Star Team

Tristan plays Babe Ruth baseball for SRV (Snake River Valley). This team is comprised of the best players chosen from Ontario, Fruitland, Payette and New Plymouth. Their sponser is the Elks in Ontario Oregon. So they play district and state tournaments against Oregon teams. They played their district tournament in LaGrande this past weekend. They played against Baker, LaGrande and the American SRV team. Tristans team took first place at the tournament. For their grand finale of their baseball season they will play their state tournament in LaGrande. This will be July 20-25.
