Nothing like a great baseball game

Kyle and Steve went to New York City to catch a couple of Yankees games. They had great seats the second game they went too. I DVR'd the game and Kyle and I took pictures from the tv, of their tv appearance. The kids loved seeing their dad on tv.


This picture is the easiest to spot them. Kyle on the right of Jeter and Steve taking a picture on the left.


They are on the far left in this one in the third row.


Standing to clap for Joba for pitching a great game. Can you spot them? Where are Kyle and Steve? See hint below if you need one.


The yankees one both games they watched and of course they made a few stops to Gray's Papaya for some of Kyle's favorite hot dogs.


hint- They are left of the police officer. Look for Steve's white hat.

Rain Gutter Regatta

Last Tuesday was the rain gutter regatta. It was just next door so we had to make the long walk to our neighbors home. Zachary won two races and lost two races. It was a LONG night but I think Zachary had fun. By the way, he is easy to spot in the pictures. He is the only one not wearing anything scout like.
The boys are getting ready to race


Go Zachary!

The proud winner


Racing again but having boat troubles. It kept falling over.

He lost this one but didn't give up


He ended up with a ribbon and a rain gutter regatta patch and he got an award for the decoration of his boat. It was decked out with Guitar Hero stickers. You would think the scouting people would put the stickers to decorate the boat in the box with the kit. NOT! That would make it easy. Lucky we had some stickers of our own.

My hair



I was trying to get a picture of my hair since many of you have not seen it. Zachary loves to be in pictures, so just keep in mind we went through several takes before I got pictures that I would post. I do apologize that Zachary has something sticking out of his mouth. Spit? Milk Duds? Who knows?

What We've Been Up To

Took the kids to see Up. Not the funny movie that the Disney Channel and the little Up snippets made it seem like.
We have started paying for Hannah's dorm. Hannah has registered for her classes. That was a mess. Can I just say I hate the school's website? Who runs that mess? Hannah has Freshmen orientation on August 26. Not ready!
Hannah is working for her dad. I guess I should also add that she works for Darren and John and she loves it.
I took the kids to visit Grandmother. Had a nice visit. Went back the next day sans Savannah. Learned a lot about Grandmother. Really nice day.
I got my hair cut, and yes, Kyle doesn't like it.
We went to a great 3rd of July party and John's house. That turned out the be our fireworks for the 4th of July weekend. We had plans to go to the Sounds game and then see the fireworks afterward. It stormed before we even got out of the car. We came home. We decided we would go see the town fireworks. We showed up as the crowds were leaving. They shot them early because another storm cell was coming. We made it back home just in time to see the last 5 min. of the Macy's fireworks on TV.
We used our unused 4th of July sounds tickets to go to the ball game on the 12th and saw the fireworks that night. Zachary loved the game. I have some pictures and will post them when I get them from Kyle's phone. As usual, I didn't have my camera.
We are all excited about Harry Potter! Haven't seen it yet.
