Life update

Okay..I will admit it. I am not great on keeping this up...not sure why. I keep thinking..I can't add more until I finish the vacation blogs. I have decided that if I wait to get that done I will never catch it up.

It has been a busy fall/winter/spring. The kids are all doing well.

Currently we are in the heart of baseball season,...so it is baseball every weekend. In this new division that Zeke is in. They play all the games on weekends...Sat and Sun. They are all double headers. So from about 9am -3pm ..it is baseball.

Saturday we had to travel to the little town of Sumas, now it is about the size of what my hometown was when I grew up..maybe even smaller. So one would think..that locating a baseball field would not be that difficult. I had the google map directions, Zeke had played there once a few years ago. So I arrive in Sumas and there is the ball field. Only issue was all the boys playing/warming up were way to little to Zeke's team.

So I call Norm and say..?? Where are you? He responds at the Ball Field. I am here and all I see is little boys. He then tells me I am at the old field and he is at the new field. Which is located directly behind the old ones, beyond the tree line. But you can't get there from the old field.

So I went back out to main st. Norm is trying to give me directions, but his directions are okay, but no street names..and when I ask..Do i turn on the road that says Mt Baker. He is like..NO and I have no idea where you are at. I am like I am in Sumas, Main Street..the only street..LOL

I eventually end up out of town at the cemetery and drive back into town and decide i will just go to the little grocery store and ask directions.

By that time, Norm has found someone that gave me the street names. I did need to turn on the Mt Baker Road then another little side road.

It was fun, as the team we were playing has 2 of Zeke's homeschool baseball buddies on it. It was nice to visit with the moms.

We are back out there next weekend for the Pioneer Memorial Tournament. IT is a 1 hour commute from the house. So my friend Marylin, whose son is on the team we played was going to get me the information for the field manager. So we were able to talk with Randy, and we will be allowed to camp for the weekend.

Mychal had her Ballroom Dance Showcase this weekend, along with the Pro Show. The Pro Show this year, they were able to get the 9/10 year old pros from Seattle. They were featured on DWTS as guest last season..I think. Mychal was like they are so cute and sweet. I should add watching that show with Mychal is difficult. She can tell you what they are doing wrong..it is like having your own judge giving you play by play action.

The older boys are doing great. Ethan is finishing up this quarter at WCC and plans on taking a couple of summer classes...to make up for the quarter he did not go. He did not start at Fall Quarter, but started winter quarter.

Justin had a temp job that ends this week and he will be back to job hunting. Hopefully having this little bit of work experience will help. So many places now..are only hiring people that have work experience. It makes it difficult for those first time job hunters/college students.

Kodie is doing great. She loves playing soccer and riding her horse. We only have a couple more weeks of soccer and horse back riding. I really wish this area offered more sports things for kids with disabilities. Soccer is only 6 weeks in the spring. There is nothing else until they are closer to 14-15 years old.

Well I best close and get on with the day.
