Lazy...

I've been lazy, I was almost caught up with 2012, and now here it is March and I have a lot to write so I can order my 2012 blog book!  But I was sick of seeing the last post so here is a picture from our trip to Disneyland in Feb.

Opening Day 2013...

It was a super exciting day in our household. Both Braden and Berkley are finally playing the same sport.  It's gonna be a challenge with two kids on two different teams, with two games and practices a week per kid.  Bring on baseball!!!

Braden- Minor League the OWLZ

 Batting and stealing are my favorite things to watch.

 Braden is playing Third base a lot this season.  He's great.

and later that day we did it all again for Berkley!

Berkley- Coach Pitch Mariners

His very first at bat ever he hit a triple.  He was so excited.  If it weren't for the mean third base coach (his Daddy) it would have been a homer. Rusty is helping coach, its been so fun. 

Playing third like big bro!

 These pictures aren't actually from the opening day, but they were better than those.  These crack me up every time I look at them.  Every single time.

Play Ball!

Rusty's Second Marathon...

Shortly after his first marathon, Rusty started training for the Phoenix Marathon.  It is a lot of miles to prepare for the marathon.  He ran long runs every saturday with a group of friends.  Hundreds of miles go into the months leading up to the main event.

His cheering section, along with the photog Kelcie! 

Looking strong for the finish!!!

 I knew I wanted to be at the finish with the boys.  Thankfully Kelcie came and helped me, because it was insane.  So many people, and such cranky boys!

 I got very teary when we heard his name, and knew he was coming across the finish line.

 Can you spot him?  I love that in neon orange and at 6'4" he's pretty easy to find in a crowd. When we finally got his attention he came over to the gates and said hello.  Look at that nice shiny medal! 

The race was on Russ's birthday and he ran the half marathon.  So he was the lucky duck that go to go in the runner area and hug Rusty first.

 Our (lame) signs for the runner s

 We tried to get there in time to watch Russ cross, but I just could not get my act in gear that morning!!

 Official time was 3 hours 55 minutes.

 Yes, I dressed to match him. I try to be the best coordinated running team member, since I don't provide any of the running part of the running team.

 Brenner was finally happy once he got some cotton candy!

The only way to get them all in a picture was sitting down! So proud!
