Tuesday and Wednesday

Tuesday we went to an outlet mall and swam the rest of the afternoon at the condo. Went to Planet Hollywood for supper...cool and LOUD!

Today we're headed to Daytona beach!

Monday

After legoland in downtown disney (we could not get the boys out of there!!!), we ate at the T-Rex...like the rainforest cafe but with dinosaurs...pretty cool. Rob fixed bacon & eggs this morning and now we're headed to Sea World for the day. Kids get in for five bucks so we can afford to go!

Sunday

Had a late breakfast at Ihop this. Spent a couple hours at the pool. Getting cleaned up, eating lunch here at the condo. Then headed to Downtown Disney to Legoland!

We're Wimps!

Didn't make it straight thru driving to Orlando! Had to stop about an hour past Atlanta @ 3 am. We'll be at our condo in about 1 hour. The boys are ready to swim and so are we! Happy Birthday, Matthew!

Headed to Florida!

We are taking off for a few days to Florida...will hopefully post while we're there!

A FUN night and a SAD night...

at the baseball park tonight. I'll start with the sad news and a prayer request. There are 13 boys on Matthew's all-star team. One of the boys, Brody, is at St. Jude's Children's Hospital in Memphis with inoperable brain cancer. They found out only a few short days ago. At the last practice that he was at, he was having great difficulty seeing so his parents took him to an eye doctor. This is how they found out. Please pray for him and his family. He is actually going to be at the all-star game on Saturday watching from the bench...these are his wishes. The boys are having his initials monogrammed on the back of their hats to show their support. It is just so sad. Regular eye exams are a must...I've heard that lots of medical conditions/problems can be seen thru the eyes. Just made the boys their appointments a week ago. Please pray.

The coach told all the boys the news about Brody...then he gave them the option of having practice or not, or just having a fun game of baseball. The boys wanted to play against the Dads...so that's what they did and they all had a great time. Jacob even got to play on the team with the Dads and had several good hits!

Give your kids an extra hug tonight (or today)...you never know what tomorrow will bring.

All-Star Baseball Scrimmage

Matthew was asked to play on the Baseball All-Star 9 year-old team to represent Jackson. He was thrilled! Since the end of the season, he's been practicing with this team and tonight they had a scrimmage against the 10-year old team. Pretty rough...until the bottom of the 4th. Bases loaded, Matthew is up to bat. Score is 5-0, we're losing. Matthew hits a blast over 1st base and scores 3 runs! Then he steals 3rd & home...end score was 5-4...!!!! They lost, but Matthew didn't really care! 1st tournament is this weekend here in Jackson, Saturday night at 5:00 is their 1st game. Should be exciting!!!
