Softball Sadness!

I never thought I would live to see the day that a church softball game would fail to have enough players to play. We recently had our softball season and had over a series of 6 games, a total turnout of 3 players for 3 games and 7 players for one game. I can remember not too long ago, ok maybe it was a long time ago, but I remember in the ward I grew up in there was an A team and a B team for the mens teams. We couldn't have even fielded a Z team. Softball games were the hangout of choice for the younger crowd, and always was a destination of choice when games were being played, regardless if your ward was playing or not. I find it sad and disappointing that the passion and fire for this great game of little skill is no longer a priority for the modern day weekend warrior. Hopefully the one thing I can instill in my boys is the importance for sports and playing them whenever possible. Do I hear a turkey bowl coming, we better have more than 4 people show up for that or I am going to have the whole ward running sprints.

First time for everything.

New videos for your enjoyment.

I was digging around the fridge last night and I felt I had a hankerin' for a hunk of cheese. So I was instantly transported back to my childhood where the dancing lemon Timer, would give us snack advice, typically on a Saturday. Those were the good ol' days. Even the commercials were good back then. I don't even think they have Saturday morning cartoons anymore, and if they do I am sure they stink. I hope you enjoy the ones I picked out, I should have a few more for you in the next day or two.

Xanadu!

I know I am a total dork but man you have got to love Xanadu. What a great collection of music. And Olivia Newton John, wow she was so hot back in the day. I think that might be why I liked the movie so much, I was busy watching her instead of paying attention to the actual storyline. Now mind you, the last time I saw this movie was when I was 11 if I remember correctly. I'm sure if I watch it now it would be totally retarded, so I will not re watch it that way I will always have fond memories of Xanadu. I included some of that fantastic music for your listening pleasure. I must warn you though, one listen and you will be hooked forever, there is no going back. I'm going to go get my roller skates on now and see if I can find myself an Olivia Newton John muse.

Pics from the game.

Apparently Laura overheard the coach from the other team asking his kids why they couldn't grab that little boys flags. He didn't seem too happy and it only got worse from there. Enjoy.

Football Update.

We just had two more games on Saturday. Jace's team won the first game 30-6. Jace threw for one touchdown and ran for another one. Laura was trying to take pictures but ended up with a lot of pictures of the ground or the kids chasing Jace. He was juking the kids and the camera. What he is able to do on the field is just nasty. I don't think it is really fair for the other kids who try to get him. The second game they lost 7-0 in what was a really good game. The only touchdown that was scored should have been called back as they illegally blocked one of our safeties to run for the touchdown. The offense is getting really good and the defense is downright nasty. The last team we played usually averaged about 30 points a game so that shows how good they are doing. I am really proud of them as they have been working really hard and are starting to play as a team. If you're in town and want to have a good time watching some really good football, stop by on a Saturday evening.

Wife Pleaser.

I hope my wife is happy with the addition of the pictures. I put the football pics in I had been promising as well as added some of Kendra after she got into the lipstick. On a side note, both Jace's and Robbie's team only had one loss. Jace played the last game of the season with a broken arm. We had thought he had just sprained his elbow, but it turned out he had broke the tip of the radial head which is on the upper arm. Right where the elbow is. He played the whole game with it until the end when someone tackled him and landed on it. Keep in mind this is flag football. They both had lots of fun.

The difference between boys and girls!

No new epiphany yet!

I have been informed by my wife that I am in need of pictures on the blog. She is not certain what kind of pictures, just pictures. I haven't had any epiphany yet in regards to new subject matter, I think I have been in a constant state of brain incapacitation. Typically I am not at a loss for words, however, nothing is coming. I am thoroughly embarrassed. I will try to come up with something good here in the near future. Oh, and the pictures too.

Shave and a hair cut........two bits!

Ahhhhh, what a wonderful thing. Who would have thought that just a hair cut and a shave can make you feel so much better. I think I was entering the 2nd stage of chia pet hair growth. Now it is back to normal, almost non existent. The shave was nice as well. Everything is so soft now except for the goatee. Got to grow it for football season. A coach has to look tough to scare his players you know. I will have to post pictures from last years football season. A little fatter of course back then but you can see the coaches goatee. The grass is finally starting to go dormant so I mowed it for the last time today. Yeah. I should have the last of the bushes trimmed this week and I will be done and ready for a long and happy winter. I don't think I have any other things to ramble about now. Maybe I will come up with something tomorrow.
