Live so that when your children think of fairness and integrity, they think of you. The highest courage is to dare to be yourself in the face of adversity. Choosing right over wrong, ethic over convenience, and truth over popularity ... these are choices that measure your life. Travel the path of integrity without looking back, for there is never a wrong time to do the right thing.

My Baseball "Super Star" & 1 BIG OWIE!!!

Thursday night was the last game for our AA Orioles this season. Minus the par for the course highly uncooperative weather, it was a blast this year!!

Drewy plays Pitcher & Catcher mostly with an occasional 1st or 3rd and does such a great job! I LOVE seeing his little handsomeness out on the mound & behind the plate! It amazes me how good they are at 8 & 9! Drew LOVES the game. He has such a sports brain. He always knows the count whether out in the field or on base! He practices out in the backyard any spare moment he gets. :0)
They had a great final game, although they ended up losing at the end. It was 0 - 0 until the 5th inning. We were up 1 - 0 until the 6th inning. Drew struck out 11 of 14 batters pitching a PERFECT game for the 1st 4 innings! WAY TO GO DREWY! I LOVE this little man in the making!
His Daddy was beaming!
So were his coaches!
Of course I forgot my camera, here are a few pics crappy taken from my phone a few games before...

Feeling a little euphoric when we got home, he was horsing around throwing toys in the air & hitting them with his hand...which led to he & his sister horsing around...we hadn't been home 10 minutes, when...
Drew ran into the dining room chair & starting bawling, I mean really bawling. I didn't see him hit, but he was holding his face. After about45 seconds, Haliee went to him to check it because he doesn't normally act like that. He is pretty tough. AND she starts screaming...
OH.MY.GOD...OH NO DREWY....which totally FREAKED him out.
So I went to him...OWIE! His eye was just swelling like crazy, it was already as big as the1st pics within 1 minute. He hit right on the brow bone, poor kiddo. Hal & I calmed them both, good grief Haliee girl, lol! They were both so totally freaked out. Here is his battle wound...
And the next morning his eye was swollen shut...

By bedtime 24 hours later...Much better but black & blue...

You can't keep a goodman down! Atleast there were no stitches! Poor lil' man! ***I couldn't get him out of the dang uniform! NO JUDGING :9) He was still loving his awesome game even wounded!
