Baseball tournament weekend!

We're preparing for another weekend of baseball. Tyler is playing in the Paul Molitor tournament in Roseville this weekend and is just feeling good enough to play now! He's set for games today at 2 and 6 PM; then a round robin tomorrow depending on how they do today. As a tribute, a photo of Jackson getting ready for baseball has been posted. Updates to come!

Summer is here!

Ok - so I didn't do a great post around Mom's Day but this was too great not to share. My boys didn't do a regular Mom's Day card this year. I woke up to a Lite Brite card (and the funnier thing was Matt talking about how unbelievably long it took!) ;-)

A quick catch up on what's happening:
- Jackson's doing awesome! Hooray for popsicles and good doctors! He's back in action like nothing happened at all. In fact, he went tubing for the first time this season just this past weekend. A trooper and a fan of going fast. That's our boy!
- Tyler is in the height of an awesome baseball season. They're currently ranked second in their division BY ONE POINT!... now if they can only hold on another night to make sure they get to the state tourney! Check out the standings at: Panther Baseball. That said, cross your fingers, he's got a nasty case of strep throat as I type tonight... he should be out of the woods sometime soon. Poor kid.
- Meanwhile my gardens are growing like crazy and we're keeping things in check. We're looking forward to a nice vacation in a few weeks... more to come soon.

Back on Track!

One week post-op Jackson is doing absolutely great. He still gets tired quickly but isn't that to be expected after surgery?

SO, a lot has happened in the last week!
- Tyler is no longer in elementary school. Yes, the teachers actually passed him to move on to 7th grade in the fall (the report card looked good!!)
- Jackson is no longer a preschooler. He is officially headed for kindergarten in just a couple short months!
- I got nuts at the farmer's market on Sunday (lots of planting completed!)
- Ty's baseball team rocked one of the top seeds in their conference - how great is that!!

More to come- we head out of town for a baseball tournament this weekend.

Spoke too quickly...

Ok, so the honeymoon's over. Jackson's having a tough time getting the liquids down. He was a little better yesterday but has a very upset tummy (and ALL that goes with it) from the pain medication. Needless to say he's under a close watch in hopes we can keep him hydrated. Cross your fingers and all body parts for us!
