Summer vacation

It is summer vacation for Jordan...he has been home for not quite two weeks and he started a new job today. Yay. No, did you feel the enthusiasm, YAY! I didn't have a chance to get tired of him being on my couch and now somebody else is responsible for occupying 40 hours of his life a week. Hopefully he will like his job, feel like he is making a contribution there and put some money away for the next school year.
Baseball...won the play in game...lost to Thurston HS in the first round. Not so much yay as my hubby would have liked to have gone to round two. Well, no worries. Summer practice begins next Wednesday. Yay.
Back to summer vacation...Sydney will be home mid June, yay! Sydney, word of the day: yay. Not delicious and not legit. Simple in form, yay. Looking forward to a full house again. Yay, summer vacation.

It's just baseball

Baseball...a game...some skill required...strategy. Bottom line...Meant. For. Fun. By those playing and watching. Enjoyment to be had by all, just my opinion. I have many others, opinions, that is. Best to keep quiet, lol. This season I have seen this team play each game to the end so I know that the season is far from over...looking forward to playoffs.
Let's talk about the weather...lately, it's been beautiful. Weather that we usually don't see until July! What's the deal?! Of course since I am not watching Jordan no winter parkas are required. Maybe the the weather followed him to Iowa and that is why the Midwest is just coming out of their winter. Just one theory we could look into :)
So many events have gone by and so many to look forward to. Next up, Jordan will be home in less than two weeks...just in time for mother's day. He and Sydney will both be here, it's going to be a great day.

Opening day...

Our season opener against none other than Mac...and the first thought is,"we need to win this one!" Oh and we did, 4-1. Yay! Go Tigers! Couldn't have asked for a better day as the sun was out and it wasn't too cold either. The fire department provided us with their color guard, always so cool to see them bring the flags to the field. As for the next thing that happened...no power in the press box and Tim Morland lead us in song accapella style. Awesome! I would have rather crawled under a rock and said skip it. How unamerican of me. So good to see the stands full and the boys play hard. Great start to the season Coach!

Not quite opening day...

Baseball, baseball, baseball. The team had their first day of play yesterday at a jamboree and they got to see how they really work together, or not, against a few different teams. I think it helped put a plan together for today's game against Sunset. First home game of the season and the hubs first win as head coach. If we can keep this up life will be good here in the Mayfield house.

Forty-five

Happy birthday to the dad...what a great present to have Jordan home for spring break too! We put Jordan on a plane back to Iowa and Jordan assured me it was a mere 49 days. Not so long but long enough...I miss that kid despite the extra work he requires :)

Hello March

March 1st already...the days just slip by. March brings lots of birthdays, spring break...or I should say spring breaks since the kids are different schedules and March Madness of course. Steve has had a week of baseball practice and the weather so far has allowed them to be outside. With baseball comes his sore arm, lots of blisters, extra laundry and getting up early. Monday I rolled over when I heard his alarm...it was 3:28...A.M. Seriously?! Why can't he be a person who hears his alarm at say 4 and then just gets up? Wishful thinking on my part and for Harley, what a long day before she gets to see her daddy. Lots of pacing and longing looks out the front window. Just wait until game day Miss Harley...your dinner will be sooooo late :/ Hello March. Hello baseball. No doubt...hello rain.

Go Blazers!

What a treat, Sydney and Jake treated Mom and Dad to an evening out. Blazers v. Celtics...and what a great game. It has been awhile since I have been to a game and one where everyone stays in their seats until the end. Blazers won, sorry Jake, and broke their seven game losing streak. How does it go? RIP CITY!
