Alex's shark car also won 2nd place for most original.

Tyler's guitar also won first place for most original. It even has six strings (fishing line spray painted silver)

Our first success at the Pinewood Derby. Each boy won 1st place in their rank, 2nd and 3rd place overall in the pack. Congratulations Mike :)

I have agreed to Manage and coach a Triple A baseball team (Tyler's team). I am so excited and nervous because I will probably be the only woman coaching a team at this level. This will be my first time coaching in a competitive division. Luckily my brother has agreed to help!
So, now I will be assistant coach for Alex's baseball team, head coach for Tyler's baseball team, Co-Den Leader for Alex's cub scout den, Casino Night Committee Member, Single A Commissioner for the Little League, Chair for Battle of the Books at Lincoln elementary, Auction Committee Member, and I really need to stop this list now!!! Yikes. If you don't hear from me in a few months, you will know why.

Better than Facebook

For the few of you who want to know more about what we are up to than what I had for dinner or the kids latest illness (sorry to all you fb fans), I thought I would start a blog. Today is Alex's 7th bday. Did I take any pictures? NO, but I did take video - although it will probably take me a year to figure out how to post videos. Really, I am keeping this blog for myself. As a way to remember what I will look back on as the best days of my life, but what feel right now like a never ending schedule, never ending whining, never ending poopy diapers, never ending homework, never ending sports practices, never ending complaining about piano practice - have you heard enough. I will try to post some pictures and then maybe you will see why I still feel like the luckiest girl in the world most of the time - surrounded by all my boys!
