A Summer-y Saturday

Saturday was a very busy day for us...even so, I found time for a nap!

First, we had Liam's game. His team won 12-1, and that was a very conservative win. Our coach held the boys back quite a bit, the poor team they played must have been ALL first years.

So, here the "King of Swing" is hitting his double......and here he is rounding second...
Meanwhile, on a not so distant planet...
Maggie was getting severely ticked because Sam thought is was funny to keep her from going down the slide...UGGHH ...Big brothers!!! So,
She enlisted help...

...and when that didn't work, she enlisted MORE help...

Yeah, it got pretty funny...they never did manage to push him down unless he decided he wanted to come down. They entertained themselves like this for the duration of Liam's game (which kept them out of Jon and I's hair :) )

Eventually, Maggie tired of it and headed for the swings while every male child on that playground took Sam on.

Sam's double header against Big Walnut was cancelled...not sure why?

After the game we drove to Mt Vernon and did our grocery shopping. Which was not at all bad...our mid month Costco trip is always a hit, but it takes the sting out of the end of the month trip! Then we went home, unloaded our groceries and put them away and took naps! Because, Saturday evening we were going to the drive-in again...this time to see Up and Star Trek.

The LaFever's met us at the drive in and brought their truck which my kids thought was super cool! They are used to going to the drive-in, but they'd never done it in a pick-up! Before the game, the boys went up in front of the screen and played ball with all the other kids up there while the girls staked their spots out and discussed Hannah Montana and candy options.

We stood around and talked for awhile as well. I, of course, walked around like a goob, snapping pics!

Eventually, the boys came back and we got things settled down. Everyone headed towards their "spots" with food and drink and we enjoyed Up. It was a really cute movie, I don't think any of us didn't like it. After Up the LaFever's left and we nestled into the van (because it was cold by then!) to watch Star Trek...it was awesome!!

Maggie and Liam both fell asleep before it was over, but Jon, Sam and I loved it!

So, that was yesterday...today we went to our nephew Patricks graduation party in Enon, then took the kids to the Air Force Museum @ Wright-Patt. I have pics of that too...I'll post them asap! I love and miss you all!! Sorry I'm not keeping up with the blog as well as I'd like...we have things to blog about now! and no time to do it!!!

BTW - Sam tried out for reciever...and was told that barring anything unforseen he would be playing there. Coach Oder thought he did well there.
