Yep.. I think it's kind of true. By their socks ye shall know if they had fun. Now before I talk about that I had to put up this cute pic of Sushi. Who would want to start their post with a dirty sock picture.

I have been slacking in the blog department - but what is new. The boys had fathers and sons the other month and they came home with delightful black socks. They had TONS of fun playing sports pretty much the whole time. K was sore for days. :) Come to think of it - S must always be having fun, because his socks are always NASTY!!

Baseball is FINALLY over so I felt that now was the appropriate time to post a couple of pictures. Of course being the excellent mom that I am - I only took my camera to one game a kid. All I have to say is that they take baseball SERIOUS here. I mean we had some weeks where between the 2 boys they had games and practices that added up to 20 hours a week. CRAZY!! Those coaches were die hard and dedicated. The boys loved it!! I was ready for it to end. J seriously had the catch of the season in like his 4th game (it was AMAZING!!! the crowd went ballistic). I told him next time to save it for the end of the season, or people will expect great things all season (duh).
S was on the Little Giants - his coach didn't speak a lick of English. Interestingly enough they communicated fine, and the kids had a great time.


J was on the A's. He looked so cute in his uniform, and he loved to wear it.

Here J is stealing home. At this level they could steal bases, and the catchers weren't that good so they were brave. J was always thinking when he was on base waiting for a mistake to be made, and then he would make his move. He is a fast little bugger.

One thing about the boys is that when they are in a sport - they are OBSESSED!. All they want to do is play the sport they are in. We went to the park to practice with them 3 times a week (they would have gone everyday if we would have, but seriously.. we're old).
Here is the birthday cake K threw together for me one night. The weeks surrounding my day of oldness were insane. This is how you throw together a quick cake. I wish I had thought of it. Maybe one day I will do a cake made of rice for K - I mean this cake is out of things I love best - Hostess!!

Now to make this cake even more delicious.... wait for it... K dug out the middle and replaced the filling with ice cream. That man is a genius!!
