Scott and Kyle softball

Toys for Tots Softball Tournament was last weekend. Scott and Kyle both got to play in it. Kyle played the first games Thursday night. Saturday they both played 4 games after they dug a pond and mulched. Sunday they played two games. It was a double elimination tournament, they ended up losing the first game but made it all the way to the championship game placing second. They played very well and were really tired by the time the weekend was done.

Kyle just got a hit waiting to advance around the bases.

Dad's Birthday!

While everyone was home we celebrated Dad's 57th birthday. Here are a few pictures from the celebration. Along with that weekend the boys worked really hard around the yard. Dad, Scott, Eric, Kyle, and Tony all dug Mom's pond (pictures to follow) or some would call it a small swimming pool, and took a yard of mulch and moved it from the driveway to all over the yard. They were such troopers because both Kyle and Scott went on to play 4 softball games later that night. They were such good workers! Us girls went to the baby shower!

New Camera!

So if you remember way back in the month of April Scott and I ventured out into the world of Opening Day at Miller Park for the Brewers! We had so much fun with our friends Kevin and Maria taking pictures, playing bags, and eating barbeque! Well after the game was done I was in the process of taking out my camera to take pictures of all the trash that was left in the parking lot, all of a sudden my hands were filled with butter and I dropped the camera. Since that drop all the pictures would turn up blurry and fuzzy. It was a very sad day for me.

Well the happy ending to this story is, Scott and I celebrated our anniversary two weekends ago and I was one spoiled wife. We stayed at the Washington House Inn in Cedarburg, which is awesome and I totally recommend it, and Scott let me get a new camera because it was on sale! I was very happy. So here are some pictures from the new camera and our room!

Our lovely bed it was so comfortable
