Thomas' 3rd Birthday and Blake's baseball

So let's go back to the weekend of the 1st and 2nd.  We celebrated Thomas' 3rd birthday.  We just had a small party at the house.  Our friend Lorinne made S'more cupcakes and Thomas picked out his own blue ice cream.  We opened presents, had cake and ice cream, played a little with the new toys, went out side to ride our new bike, and then down to ride the horses.  All in all it was a wonderful afternoon.  Thomas got a bike from Grandpa David and Kayma.  He got a water gun and cars from Elissa's family, a wonderful new favorite book from Lorinne, a coat from Grammy and Grandpa and a helmet from Mom and Dad.  Sophie got him some tractors and Blake got him a basketball.  He was thrilled.

Summer has hit and we have spent the last two weekends at baseball tournaments.  Blake's team is doing very well and Blake is improving with every game.  He usually plays center or left field.  This past weekend he hit a double and had a really good catch.  I might be bias but I think he has the most hustle of all the outfielders.

I am doing well in my new job, though full time work really gets in the way of doing things doesn't it!?.  I took my tests for my medical certifications last week but won't find out the scores until next week.  My mom and I are well into the Insanity workout and eating program and my mom has lost 2 lbs each week.  I haven't noticed that much change but I'm so far along the changes are very minor at this point.  I know the workouts are getting easier so I must be doing something right.

Blake also enjoyed 3 days at basketball camp but of course it was during my work so I have no photos.  He got to stay in the dorms and said the night time was fun and the daytime was lots of work!  He's also still swimming but mainly just on days he has nothing else to do.  His first swim meet is going to be next weekend.

One of the kitties had babies so each night the kids and Grammy go down and take them food to try to tame them.  So far I think it's going pretty well. It has been thunderstorming at night so not much horse riding has gotten down so far.  Blake and Thomas did have a chance to go down to the stock damn to go fishing with Grandpa.  Blake caught two little ones and Grandpa caught a pregnant one, all of which were thrown back in for another day.  I was absent for these trips but hope to get photos in the future.
