As Promised

Well.........I promised baseball pictures a while ago.

Anthony started catching this year. Normally he is on third base or left field so this is new. I have to admit (because I am totally unbiased) he is really good.

The picture quality will start improving in the next few weeks. Shhhhhh...I got a really cool mothers day gift. Post will follow.

I had to travel to Portland two weeks ago for a MOMS Club Board Workshop. For those who don't know, MOMS Club is a support group for stay at home moms. I joined the club when I lived in Sacramento and Anthony was 16 months old. When we moved to Richland Wa I became the Vice President of the brand new club starting there and later helped start another chapter in Pasco Wa. We moved here and there wasn't a chapter and I tried to get one going. It just didn't pan out. So instead I became a volunteer for MOMS Club International. So after 15 years I have become an Oregon State Area Coordinator. That is way we found ourselves in Portland doing a workshop. Steve and the kids came with me. We left home at 5am, he dropped me off at the workshop and headed to OMSI with the kids. Later that night we went to see Cirque Du Soleil, Kooza. I have to say that it was an awesome experience. Jason laughed and Anthony was in awe. It was Megan that the show made the biggest impact. She is ready to pack her bags and head off the the show. Her whole wall now has Kooza pictures. We have already tracked the next place we want to go see the show. If you ever have the chance to see go, it is well worth the price of the tickets.

Here is a picture I took at the hotel while we where relaxing before heading out to the show.

We left the next morning at 6am to be back home in time for the last day of Sunday school party. The kids and Steve were such great sports about the weekend. We were tired by Sunday night.

This up coming weekend Megan and I are off to Yakima Wa for Yak Attack. It's a huge soccer tournament. I will have lots of pictures and stories, I am sure.

That is it for me, have a great weekend.
