If you like to scrapbook than you need to hang out at Scrapbook Doodle for the month of April! Scrapbook Doodle is turning 3 years old this month. There is going to be challenges, games and even prizes!! If you are looking to get caught up (like me) or just have some scrapping fun, then this is where you need to be. I haven't scrapped in awhile and really could use the inspiration and fun! :) It starts tomorrow, so register today so you can join in on the chats and fun!
So let's start with today:
Robert got a call from his junior spring ball coach. Good news: He's on a team with almost all of his friends, but one. Bad news: He's a DODGER!!!!
LOL! He never thought he'd be on the Dodgers. It's kind of a running joke. I grew up not liking the Dodgers. Nothing against the Dodgers. All baseball fans have a team they don't like. Practices start next week. He's ready to go!!
Back up 24 hours ago:
We were at the baseball game. Robert had the best night. Since the Padres won 11-3, Robert had a lot of action being a bat boy. The Padres were hitting all over the place. I took over 100 pictures, but hardly any turned out. My mom got some good ones since she was on the same side as Robert. While Robert was in the dugout ready to get the next bat, Tony Gwynn hit a foul ball that bounced once and then landed right into Robert's chin. He's fine. It happened so fast that he couldn't react fast enough. He thinks it's pretty cool. After he was hit, Adrian Gonzalez came over to see if he was ok and the medic in the dugout checked him out too.
He also was asked by a fan (around his age) if she could take her picture with him while he was working the sideline. I thought that was hysterical! Dave and I were watching him walk down the line and stop and the girl put her arm around him and took a picture.
Towards the end of the game a bunch of people in front of us started to clap and get up and then we noticed that Luiz Gonzalez was leaving. He was there to watch the D-backs.
Robert really liked hanging out in the Padres dugout. Some players won't give you the time of day, but all of these players were so nice and talked and joked with the bat boys.
This experience being a bat boy was so much fun and Robert is so honored that he was asked to be one. He's looking forward to possibly doing it again next year.
Here's a couple of pictures I was able to get last night.
Tomorrow is the Aztec's last game. It's a home game. Then this Saturday they are having a tournament at 11:00 and if they win they'll play later in the afternoon.
Tonight was Robert's last game as a bat boy for the 2010 Spring Training season. He has had so much fun and really hopes he gets to do it again next year. Today's game was a night one so most of my pictures are horrible. Plus, they had us sitting on the opposite side from where he was. The good thing about that, is that we got to see in the dugout for the whole game and see what he was doing, rather than just seeing him when we ran onto the field. So there was a lot of excitement in tonight's game. He was on the Padres side, not the D-backs. He was bummed that he was assigned to that team because he really wanted to be in the D-Backs dugout. But in the end it was he best game ever!! It's 11:50 and Robert just went to bed about a half hour ago. He had homework to do. He had baseball practice after school so he pretty much went from practice to the game. I will share one picture tonight and post about all the excitement tomorrow. Robert came home with two bats tonight. One from Ryan Klesko and one from David Eckstein. The Padres beat the D-Backs 11-3.
Dave and I went away for the weekend. We haven't gone away by ourselves in awhile and it was so nice!!! We drove up to Las Vegas Friday morning. We met out friends Dustin and Sarah there. Sarah and I have both met each others husbands, but they had never met each other. It was like they had known each other for as long as Sarah and I have. Here's a picture of Dave and I on Fremont Street. I'll post more later this week. It was a long drive home (6 hours) with all the Spring Break traffic.
Happy Birthday, Dave!!!! Happy 37th (plus 10).
You are a great husband, father and best friend!! Robert and I love you!
Today was the Aztec's first home game. We started out great....then we were behind. It went up and down like that a couple of times. Going into the bottom of the last inning we were losing 12 to 8. It didn't look so good. BUT.......we ended up winning 13-12!!! It was so exciting!!
This boy got carried off the field for hitting in the winning run!
Robert, Marcus and Mikey.
Last game is next Wednesday. Then we'll have the playoffs.
I haven't read any books recently. Just haven't felt like it and haven't had much time to read. My good friend, Paige, was here visiting this past weekend and she spent a day with us. So of course we had to make a book store run like we used to do when she lived here. Paige told me I had to read this book City of Bones. Paige is the one who got me to read the Twilight series, so any book she recommends, is a good recommendation. There are three books in this series so of course I bought the second one in case I read the first one real fast.
Book one is really good!!! I love a good book that you don't want to put down!
Thanks Paige!!! Had a great time seeing you while you were here. :)
Wanted to share some recent POTD's. Came home from work one day last week and found this little girl sleeping on our bar.
I've posted about Lilly before. She's the neighbor's cat that loves our house more than her own. Can't blame her really. Her yard has a dog that doesn't like her. She's the sweetest cat. I'm claiming her as my outside cat.
It's also been warm here. One day I think it reached 89 degrees. Here's my POTD for the 16th. Came home from work and it was 85 degrees out.
Here's a layout I scrapped a couple of weeks ago and never got around to posting.
Today Robert had another bat boy game. He was on the Mariner's side again. They played the Oakland A's. The A's kicked the Mariner's butts!
Robert has two games this week. The regular one scheduled for Wednesday and a make-up game on Thursday. That's about it for us.
We have had so much fun this past week. Even though I worked it was a break for me not to have to worry about any school stuff. I feel like I am way behind on blogging. Here are some pictures that I never posted. A pic of the grand kids with my dad when we got together for Matt and Robert's birthday. Matt cracks me up with his pose!
My friend Jan made a red velvet cake that was so darn delicious!
Also here are some photos from Robert's second bat boy game.
Tomorrow Robert goes back to school and he only will be there for 3 hours. He has his third bat boy game. My sister is going to come down with her kids and we are all going to the game.
Dave and I are going to watch New Moon....he hasn't seen it yet. I'll blog some more tomorrow night.
Today was just the most gorgeous day! It reached around 85 degrees. Way to nice to be inside. After work a bunch of us met at the park and had dinner. It's spring break for us this week. The kids played football and volleyball. I did take a ton of photos before we left. Since it was dark and I couldn't see, most of them came out blurry. We are going to have to go back and take them again while it's still light out because they had fun posing for these pics.
The kids were playing tackle football and his little guy went straight for Kylie. He has a little crush on her. He grabbed on to her and wouldn't let go. We laughed so hard!
I noticed when looking at this last photo he's holding Kylie's hand. She's going to crack up when she see's these photos!
I still need to post pictures from last weekend. I'll try to do that tomorrow.
