Some Last Random Days...

So I played softball again this summer, in all-girls work league (You know you're over 30 when... you don't want to play against a bunch of drunk guys who always want to shove a line drive down your throat). While it was great that some of us were in that over 30-range, we were playing against other teams of girls who were still in their 20's. I had to stop at third one time, while being waved home. I told the base coach "are you friggin' kidding? I ain't running another 90 feet!!" The home run wasn't worth it.

We had a great time, but there was one team that beat us the three times we played them during the season. The type of team that is ahead by 20 runs, and won't slow down cause they must prove their dominance by winning by at least 25 runs. As it turned out, we played them on the last night for the championship title, second game of a double-header for us, and we WON! Totally sweet victory, and 'nuff said about that ~

Random picture of Rebecca and Matt. She's a great kid from the high school that the kids get along great with. We drug her along with us to the beach one time. The one time that the sun came along, too.

First day of school for Jacob and Matt. Jacob is finally the BMOC as a sixth grader, which means for him a year of fundraisers and science camp. One last year of one teacher only and after school daycare.

Matt is going into the third grade, his last year of "lower-graders". Last night he was talking about some friends of his who went off to jr. high. What?? Has been to birthday parties this summer for a kid two years older than him, and one of a kid two years younger than him. I guess that either means he is very comfortable socializing with kids of any age, that kid, or he has figured out the birthday party scene.

Last Random picture for today, with Sam at LAX right before his flight last week.

Pictures of their registration are at http://www.mma-tx.org/whatsnew.htm. Lots of pictures, I haven't combed through all of them yet to find him sans hair.
