Its been awhile...and guess what we've been up to?!

...you got it...baseball.
Honestly...the games lately have been so good, I forget to take pictures...here is a very quick update. Both boys had baseball tournaments over the Memorial Day weekend...Connor's team played three games and went 1 and 2...the losses on Saturday were tough, but the win on Sunday was a great one...and the bats stayed hot Tuesday night against another Urbana team that had beaten Connor's team twice in the past two weeks...our boys defeated them in the first round of playoffs 15 to 2! It was a huge win...and they move to the next part of the bracket Thursday night...I didn't get to see this great win, because, alas...


I was watching the other boy we call Jake!

He, too, had a tourney over Memorial Day weekend and his team went 2 and 1, which qualified them for the semi finals on Monday morning at 8:30 am.....where they got CRUSHED. Overall, it was a great tournament even though the last loss was a hard one to swallow. This past Tuesday night, Jake played in the playoffs and pitched an incredible game. His team beat a rival team 7-5 and are now headed to the next bracket, also on Thursday night!


I do have one good baseball picture from this past week...its a war wound...Connor Wills was up to bat against his good friend, Logan...and if you know baseball, usually when a player is struck by a pitch, he gets to advance to first base...but no, not Connor...as he was getting hit by the ball, he put his bat in the ball's way and so it was a strike out...not a fun way to "take one for the team!"


Oh, yeah...and I forgot to write about a little friend in our house named...

POISON IVY.

Poor Jake...while playing at our friend's house he climbed a tree that had "these fuzzy vines, Mom" all over it...he hasn't been the same since....we're still waiting for the stuff to run its course...but he's less itchy now, thank goodness.


Take a look at this...


We have a crazy couple of weeks coming up...including the end of another school year, (or the end of your FIRST school year if you're the cute, Kate Wills)...as well as her Spring Dance Recital, and of course...much more baseball.


Stay tuned for more pix coming soon...

-til then.
