Monday Thoughts

Went to basketball tonight for the first time in a few weeks.  My ankle held up fairly well just a little tight.  I am icing it now so hopefully it will be ok in the morning.  It was great to get back out and play.  Bradley stepped on one of my big toes.  You would thing that after 15 years they would not still hurt that bad.  I would never recommend to anyone breaking any toes but the big ones never heal.

Elie's game was very good.  Beth and I both stayed out of the dugout and he did fine.  Beth said she even saw him smile.  For a kid who says he loves baseball he sure gets upset when playing.  He hit the ball good both times and got on base.  Gman's practice is tomorrow and game is wednesday.  They both play on Saturday.  I am so glad they enjoy baseball.

Mom called yesterday and said she has Mike Miller Park in Draffenville for the Seaton family reunion on October 3.  I need to figure out how to set up an event on Facebook for it so the Family can see it.  Mom is really taking to being the setup person for the family reunions.  I am glad she is happy to do it but I wish we were close enough to help. 

Well short and sweet tonight 

Beth's new Iphone.

Beth got her Iphone Wednesday and seems to be very taken with it.  She got her Otterbox from Newegg today and talk about over kill.  It has a hard plastic case that the iphone fits into.  A clear plastic cover for the screen that the touch screen works through.  Beth's quote "the touch screen better work through it or I won't be happy" with her head shake and the  attitude.  To go outside of the case is a rubber frame so it has a soft landing when she drops it.  The package I found at Newegg also included a hard plastic slip and belt clip that the phone slides in and out of.  As I said its a tad bit of overkill but as Beth says she drops her phone a lot.

It makes me happy to get her to smile.  She does so much for the whole family and I could not ask for a better partner, friend, and love of my life.  The boys and I drive her nuts but she just keeps us all in line and moving in the right direction.  Oh and she is one hot momma.

The boys are done with baths and just gave goodnight hugs and are heading to bed.  Elie has a game tomorrow at 9 am at Cardinal Run and Gmans is at 11.  Not sure what the afternoon plans are but it will be good to be home for the weekend.

The space shuttle just landed in California welcome home you all.  The idea of now flying it back to Florida when there are so few missions left for them seems strange.  I know they are getting old but we will not have the replacement until 2014.  Do we really not want to have a space craft ready to fly until then?  Jeff any thoughts?

Have a good night all

Good morning everyone.

Graydon's first fall baseball game went well.  He was 1 for 2 with 1 RBI.  Played catcher for 2 innings and pitcher for 2 innings.  He made 2 put outs at pitcher.  One poor kid slid into him and he fell on him.  He needs to remember to calm down on the mound.  He is ok behind the plate because he is use to it.  He stopped the ball well but needs to work on his throw.

Elie's first game got rained out but he was ok with it.  They both play again Saturday morning at Cardinal Run park in Lexington.  E goes at 9am and Gman is at 11am.  So if you like baseball come on out and watch.

Beth loves her new iphone and my new blackberry is ok.  It has WiFI and is a little faster than my old one.  If you are thinking about new phones for At&t go to a store because they have a price match option that they do not tell people about unless you ask.

Everyone have a great Thursday.

Monday Thoughts

A very good weekend was had by all.

We got to see all my aunts, mom and Granddad.  Got to spend time with Scott, Missy and the girls as well.  The boys really love the child proof bow and arrows Granny got them at Grand Rivers.  

The Calvert Drive in was as fun as ever.   If you ever get in the area you have to go.  Great burgers, ketchup mustard pickles and onions are the only condiments so if you want more bring your own.  $5.00 per adult to get in kids 12 and under are free.  I even got to break up a fight in the mens room.  It was just like old times. 

Short and sweet tonight just glad to be home.

Heading to Calvert tomorrow to see family.  I hope everyone has a great Labor Day weekend and remember the working men and women who we are celebrating this weekend.  Everyone who puts in a hard days work and just does their jobs deserves to be celebrated on monday.

Lost a post from my phone so I am going to try again.

Tonight is Elie's first fall t-ball practice. Graydon will have his tomorrow. They decided fall ball instead of upwards soccer this year. I am glad they chose baseball but I am sorry we are not at upwards. There just is not going to be enough time for both.

I hope Elie has fun and keeps wanting to learn. We need to get him away from mom a little so this I think will help. The spring got him excited but having Mom in the dugout may have not been thr best thing.

Graydon needs to keep working on his hitting. An extra 6 weeks should do that. He should be able to make the Phillies better next summer.

I am so proud of both of them. Not sure if I will help coach. Elie's team has 3 helping so that is great. Christian, Geovania,s., from the Phillies little brother is on the team. He can already hit and is a lefty.

I love baseball.

Monday Thoughts

Tonight's blog will not be a long as the rant Saturday even if I enjoyed it greatly.

First  Thanks Charlie for the email, it always helps to bounce ideas off of people I know and respect. 

Second   Country rap? Hank Williams jr and Charlie Daniels have both doing songs for years that really could be considered spoken word or rap to a country sound track.  Why does anyone wonder why Kid Rock got along with Hank so well? or was it just me?

Third   Looking at UK football schedule can anyone really think we can win more than 5 to 6 games?  Miami of Ohio, Monroe, and Eastern ok gives us 3.  We should beat UofL but 3 straight just has not happened often in the series.  Call it 4 but iffy.  We need 2 SEC wins.  Florida, Alabama, MSU and Tennessee here.  USC, Auburn, Vandy and Georgia on the road.  I can see a win in Nashville but where will the other one come from?

Never thought I would say this but Clyde I hoping to best for you.  Get help, support, or something.

Short  and sweet everyone have a great week
