Life Goes On.....

So for now, amidst the flooding life is going on. Making hay while the sun shines, if you will. Garrett's team had a game tonight. He has really been working hard and it is noticeable. Garrett LOVES baseball, even though he runs to the outfield when the coach tells him to go to 3rd base. He did really well tonight. He got walked, which is actually a major accomplishment, because up until now he wants to swing at anything that comes in his general direction. I got some video tonight. Here it is.....

Garrett in the outfield. He gets a little bored out there. In this league, there isn't much action in the outfield. At one point, Garrett was practicing catching a fly ball and throwing it to second base.......while the game was actually in play.

Garrett getting ready to kick some butt.....

The teams showing good sportsmanship. There was some controversy as to who actually won the game. Our team said it was a tie, the other team said they won by one run. Whatever.

Garrett's team is the red and black team.


Ryan had a landform project due last week. It turned out pretty well if you ask me!!!

It was supposed to be made out of household items. The mountain is made out of the top of a soda bottle, then covered with clay. The grass is coconut dyed green with food coloring and sprinkles for flowers. The ocean is modeling clay and paint (didn't have enough of either so we combined!). Then an island made of modeling clay and coconut with a graham cracker beach!!

Great job Ryan!!!
