softball & stitches

our softball season is well under way (minus a few rained-out games). the cracker jack kids are still holding up well against opponents -- 10-running a few! no homeruns have been hit by the watts, but there's still plenty of time!

in other news, brian has a few blue stitches gracing his left hand right now. a fence got him while he was setting up some hidden treasures for an amazing race for work. luckily, he was able to drive himself to the hospital and get into the emergency room before passing out. we're doomed if our kids ever draw blood! he left the hospital with 12 stitches and instructions to drink lots of fluids. he's been doing just fine and likes sharing his account of the accident. i don't think i'll post pictures, as i haven't even looked at them and don't want to make anyone sick, but maybe i'll find one of his wrapped up hand.

Back in action

Tonight you can catch the kids back in action at the Smithfield Ballpark.
Expectations are high as this is the last week to bring in another win before tournament starts.
Hopefully we will see improvement at bat from the trip to the batting cages two weeks ago.

This game will be dedicated to Whit Ro's new cleats.

What happened to The Kids?!

You may have already heard, but the Cracker Jack Kids suffered a bad loss on Wednesday night. Despite their excellent performance in the four previous games things just didn't work out for the kids Wednesday night. They did have an amazing catch by substitue BJ, but they were no match for the team that kept hitting the holes.

Better luck next time!

As for the other chillins - they're also gone and out.
Little brother, two friends, kate and bay came to stay with me this past week while the boys were at the USU basketball camp. It was great fun to have them here, I just wished I could have taken the week off to play with them. I'm afraid they saw very little of me and were probably bored out of their minds! I know that they got a lot of good playstation practice in though - i bet their skills are amazing now! I even got to play a little as we had a basketball tournament between the six of us. Oh how fun and full of energy 13-year-old boys are!

rained- or snowed-out?

I've yet to hear if the Kids have been rained-out for the night.
If not, it should make for a wild-crazy cold game at 9 p.m. under the lights in Smithfield.
I'll keep you posted.

4-0, that's right!

So, I know you've all been wondering, and
yes, the Cracker Jack Kids did win last night making them 4-0.
After a rough start in the first two innings The Kids were able to pull it together and make magic happen.
They had a 14-7 win and are getting excited for next week's game that will be played under the lights!
