Pop Tarts......YAY!!!

My kids LOVE Pop Tarts. So I have to buy them. They eat them for breakfast, snacks, and any other time they can get their little hands on them. We'll I was looking in the box for hidden coupons when I discovered on the back of the box a new promotion. It is called Flavor Rewards. You sign up on line and enter the code in the box of different flavors to collect points. These points can be redeemed for prizes. Well I entered 6 codes and cashed in 5 for a FREE movie ticket. Free things for something I was going to buy anyway. Can you beat that?

VACATION. YAY!!!

Yep you saw right. MORE baseball. We decided since we didn't make it very far in the tournament that we would take a day and ride to Richmond to go to Kings Dominion. David has an Aunt that lives about 10 minutes from there and she was staying down here with his Grandma for a couple of days so we took her up on her offer to crash at her house. Thankfully she had an in ground pool, a yard big enough to play baseball, and 2 granddaughters that came over and kept us company. So we stayed an extra day just to hang out. All the kids had a great time. This was the first time I allowed the older boys to separate from us in the park and it worked out perfect. I can't say enough how perfect Kings Dominion was for us. We had not been there in like 6 years so ,most everything was new. They had a water park that was included in the cost of admission (which we got at discount thru SECU). We spent the first 2 hours just strolling around together and looking the attractions over. Then we went to the water park for 3 hours. This kept us in the water park for the majority of the "HOT" of the day. They had the best section for little kids & it was right next to the fun house section for Matthews age. We were able to watch the 3 little ones with little ease. The older ones of course took off and went for the big rides. After lunch (which we ate at the park OUCH!!) we split up again to let the 4 older boys go for the ride. David & I spent most of the rest of the day in Kiddy Land which was shaded. THANK GOD!! We met up later and picked Matt up because there were a few rides he couldn't ride, but he didn't mind hanging out with us. So all in all it was a GREAT day. The next day we had a picnic in the park, went swimming, and played baseball. What a great way to end a vacation.

BASEBALL IS FINALLY OVER!!!! (For the season)

This year was the first year we had 2 kids in All-Stars. Nicholas made Burgaw Majors All Stars and Kaleb Made South Johnston County All-Stars. July 4th was a week of baseball, traveling, and lots of sunscreen & bug spray.

Nicholas started off the District tourney winning the first game, but lost the next 2 so they were out of the tournment. The kids had a ball an even though they did not win that had a graeat cookout to celebrate all the hard work that went into the season.

Kaleb started playing on Tuesday night. We traveled to Smithfield to watch him pitch his first All-Star game. He did GREAT. However they lost the first two games and were out of the tournment. He didn't seem too upset because that ment that he was free to go on vacation with us on Thursday.

So another season down & under our belt. Next year will be Nicholas last year in Rec ball so I hope it is a good year for him. Then the following year we get to start ALL OVER with Ashlee. Joy Joy. We will never leave the ball park. LOL!!

Wow!! Has it really been 2 months?
