My Rammblings: Birthdays and Ballgames

Madison had her 2nd Birthday Party on April 5th. Me, being the planner that I am, thought that I had everything under control and all planned out for a smooth and stress free party. You see Jacob was supposed to have a baseball game at 1:00. Maddie's party was at 3:30. Which in my mind gave me plenty of time to watch Jacob's game, pick-up the birthday cake, and get home WAY before anyone showed up for the festivities. Well...think again! It had rained that morning and it was still drizzling at about 11 when Kelly called and said that they would be able to come to the party after all. And then she asked the dreaded question..."what time has Jacob's game been moved to?" I had NO CLUE that the games had been moved back two hours. Which meant that our once 1:00 game and suddenly became a 3:00 game! I wasn't upset that Michael and Jacob were going to miss the party, I was distraught that I was going to miss the game. Oh well, Michael linced me after what seemed like every play and kept me up-to-speed on the game. It wasn't the same as being there, but it was a close second (well, not really, but I am still trying to be optimistic about the whole thing). The party was fun even though we had to move everything indoors. And our baseball crew arrived just as Maddie was finishing up her gifts. Here are a few pictures from the party.

Now on to Baseball...Yes, Bert, this one's for you.

The Bees are holding their own this season. We are 9-1-1. Not bad, huh? Jacob started out at pitcher but has since moved to first base. Here are some pictures from the season so far.
