The Joy of Baseball

Baseball season started yesterday for my boys. But even before the first game, Levi already became a victim. While playing catch with a friend he was hit right between the eyes and now has a beautiful shiner, and is quite swollen. The first picture is the night of the hit and the second picture is from this morning. Quite a beauty isn't it? Daddy says "that is the sign of a true ball player." I say, he needs to be seen by a doctor. Wonder who will win this mini battle?

For once Ronnie and I agree. He's fine, he's a boy. Don't be such a girl about it!

P.S. He looks like a cross between Chris Bertram and Riley Madsen. HA! Don't ask how I see it, I just do.

Kim...I think he needs to see a doc. I had a similar looking nose when I was hit in the face with a metal chair during a fight in grade school. (I was an innocent bystander) Later, we found out my nose had been crushed and sometimes I get headaches still from it. I'd see a doc, but that's just me...

OK, for an update, his nose isn't broken, but his daddy won. Instead, his daddy talked to "Uncle Doug" who is apparently our resident doctor (or rather the scapegoat) and there are no signs of a broken nose. And actually I agree, because Levi has been able to move his nose around and touch the entire area without any difficulty, the entire time. Since he has also broken both arms and busted his chin open, I think he could probably tell me if something was wrong. However, the bleeding is a whole other issue. It is receding but I will take him in the second he tells me he has a headache. So far we've been fortunate. (Just a side note, Levi hates going to the dr. because he has had so many mishaps, crazy thing, he is usually the innocent one, his brother is the one who thinks of all the daring things to do and doesn't get hurt)For the record, Jessica, I'm not being a girl about it, I am a mommy!!!

Life in the Real World!

Let me preface everything I am about to say by saying, I have the most wonderful, intelligent, beautiful, talented children ever created! (now I've lost you because your thinking, she's wrong, I do, your right, you do too!) So why is it that they can also be the complete opposite(at times)? Why do I have to tell the same child everyday to not bring a blanket to the table. I tell them "Please get dressed before you come eat." Apparently, it is much easier to wrap oneself in a blanket and then have to fish your hands out to eat! Why does my child who can remember things from infancy(seems that way anyhow) have to be reminded every morning to "Please brush your teeth"? Why does my child, who can't stand for anyone to touch their belongings, think it is ok for them to get into my purse everyday and chew my gum, use my chapstick, and eat any mints that might be left from the previous days' rampage? How is it that my child, who thinks the world is their ca...

"Train up a child"

This is not just a cliche, it is scripture. And it may very well be one of the most used scriptures. On Tuesday night, my boys participated in their very first communion and foot washing service. Some may think they are too young and don't understand the symbolism, and that may be true, but being that they both have the Holy Ghost and have been baptized, I thought it was time for them to take part. I explained to them what would happen and the reasoning behind it. I also asked them to examine their hearts to make sure they were heaven ready. They both seemed to understand and they both expressed desire to follow through. It was all going well until Ashley realized they had something in their hand that she didn't. She asked me what it was, and I told her. Here is how the conversation went.. Ashley: "I want grape juice too!" Me: "Well, honey you are still too young." Ashley: "Why I too young?" Me: "It's for after you get the Holy Ghost and ...
