What A Weekend....
Leading his team in warm-up exercises. Unfortunately, this is one of only three game pictures I took. It started raining right before the game started and Cate and I had to watch from the car. Thankfully, Scott was able to find a parking spot right next to the field so I could watch the entire game. Watching Dora during the game. She's got the life.

Thursday...
Brady and Cate chillin on the couch. She loves to crawl up next to him and snuggle...she even let him control the remote! I'm starting to think they really do look alike
And it wouldn't be a true Thursday without my golf league (working, not playing. Why am I still doing this? Didn't my parents sell the golf course?), Brady's soccer practice, Carter's soccer practice, then hitting practice at the batting cages.
We leave for Kansas tomorrow for Bennett's first away baseball tournament..oh and it's his 8th birthday. He's so excited to "travel" on his birthday...we are less than excited to spend $800+ this weekend and then still have to buy him gifts and throw a party!!! Ok, my ambien is kicking in and Scott made me promise I will not blog, email, or text while I am under the influence of my sleeping pills....so, goodnight!

I Survived The Weekend...
There were only three minor glitches in my plan.... 1- I ran out of Ambien on Saturday night...so I didn't sleep but maybe 3 hours. 2- Carter got up around 2am Sunday morning throwing up and didn't stop for seven hours. I remember laying in bed thinking "Carter getting sick is not on my spreadsheet!" He had to miss his soccer games on Sunday (three of them) which made life a little easier on me and I'm very thankful that my parents stayed home with him so I could go to Bennett's semi-final and championship baseball games! 3-I only took about five pictures and I forgot my camera for Bennett's Sunday games. I was so upset!!!
Here are the pictures I did take...
Bennett's team won 3 games and lost the championship game by a few runs. They played great and qualified for a tournament in Steamboat Springs, CO. Carter's soccer team won 2 games and lost one..I haven't heard about Sunday's game. Brady won both of his games this weekend and scored one goal in each!
Cate lugging all of her stuff after the second baseball game. There were two huge playgrounds at the baseball complex that she loved playing on and they were close enough that I could still see the game. Win-Win :)
Bennett receiving his trophy after the final game. The coach gave Brady one too for being the batboy. He sits in the dugout throughout every game and helps with equipment, drinks, whatever the boys need and during warm-ups he shags balls for the coaches. He was so excited about his trophy and even took it to school Monday to show all of his friends!
Had to take this one with my camera phone...

Let The Games Begin....
Enjoying the warm breeze and sunny skies at Carter's last game
Carter and his St.Louis Scott Gallagher team play tomorrow in Ofallon at 8:30am and 5:30pm (could that be any less convenient??) Then Sunday at 10 and semifinals are at 1:45 and finals at 4:15. Potentially five games for him this weekend.
Bennett plays at 3:00 and 6:00 on Saturday in Lake St Louis, MO...which is 52 miles from our house. Times for Sundays games depend on their success on Saturday...but they will either play at 9, 10:30, or 12:00, with a Championship game at 1:30. Potentially four games for him this weekend.
Brady plays two games this weekend...Saturday at 10:15 and Sunday at 6.
I was less than thrilled when Cate grabbed a glove and ball at Ben's game and wound up to pitch. Little toe pointed out in front of her, just like the big girls do during the college softball games that her dad makes encourages her to watch :) And pitching left handed nearly brought tears to Scott's eyes!!! I was hoping she would skip athletics and just want to shop and hang out with her mama forever ! Looks like I've got lots of ballgame watching years ahead of me...

Saturday Sports
Less than thrilled that I snapped a picture of him in the dugout
Bennett and Kadin making necessary adjustments ;)
Cate giving her daddy a between-inning pep talk
Entertaining herself in the dirt. This will be the last time I let her insist she wear a white shirt to baseball!
