Its rough being talented...


(last years photo of BOTH the boys and their Championship wins!)

Our boys are yet again AllStar Baseball players! I say that with the utmost joy and happiness and not meant in a flaunting or cocky way at all! OK OK.. maybe just a little bragging!
But seriously, this is why we allow our boys to be the best athletes that they can be, why we push them to learn their sports inside and out, why we as parents put our lives on hold for pretty much the whole year ( if you count football and basketball as well.) Because we have talented young men in our house. Not that our girls are any less talented... but right now, its all about Asher and Trev(Dogger)

Both boys earned a spot last year and though they are on seperate teams ( Asher is just a few months shy of being old enough for Doggers team) we had a blast. We were all over the map, between regular tournament games and then winning States and on to Regionals ( in totally another State) but it made the summer memorable and fun. Crazy, YES. Of course. We didnt get to take any major family vacations, and sometimes when we talk to other families and hear all about their plans for lazy summer days, beach vacations, and days traveling to sight see we have second thoughts. But then we spend our night watching Asher pitch a 16 strike out game, or Dogger catch 2 pop flies and get the outs..... watching Noah coach and spending time with our baseball family.... there really is no other place we would rather be!
So bring on All Stars! And to all the other teams out there...
Watch Out! The RAMS are taking it all the way this year!!!
Best of Luck and Congrats to all the boys who worked so hard this year and we will be seeing you on the field!

For my bear...

Bears...

I love you. And.... because I know how much you loathe Country Music... I shall refrain from making you actually listen to this song... But read the words.

I love you. With all of me. Forever isnt nearly long enough.

In good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. For richer or poorer....ALWAYS.

Love,
Your bear
P.S. I would never put you in the zoo.

I've been a walking heartache
I've made a mess of me
The person that I've been lately
Ain't who I wanna be

But you stay here right beside me
Watch as the storm goes through
And I need you

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you

There's more here than what were seeing
A divine conspiracy
That you, an angel lovely
Could somehow fall for me
You'll always be love's great martyr
I'll be the flattered fool
And I need you

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you

On my own I'm only
Half of what I could be
I can't do without you
We are stitched together
And what love has tethered
I pray we never undo

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you, gave me you
Gave me you
