It is summer but Monday's still suck!

The first full week of summer break is hear. It is going to be busy so I am not really looking forward to it. I have three meetings and present to the school board tonight. The weather is supposed to be nice so that is a plus.

Drew had a game last night and did well. They won 11-2 and he was walked twice and had a single. He actually hit it deep into the outfield but didn't have the footspeed to get a double.

Jessica had a big weekend. The HS team played in a softball tournament this weekend and it was against city schools. Ankeny (Who won state last year), Ubandale, Newton and some other school. They were all 4A schools so we weren't sure how we would do. In the first game, the girl who was playing first base ahead of Jessica made 5 errors and cost them the game. Jessica became the starter in the next game and played great. In her first game she hit a double and had two singles with three runs batted in. The second game she had 3 singles and 2 RBI's. They won both games. In the third game she had 2 singles and was fielded out twice. They were tied 2-2 at the bottom of the last inning. We had one girl on third and 2 outs. Jessica was up to bat. If she gets a hit we win, if she strikes out or gets fielded out, we tie and have to go extra inning. The first pitch she blasts the ball between the pitcher and shortstop for an easy single to win the game. This was against the team that won state last year.

She had a great weekend. She was up to bat 10 times, got on base 8 times, was fielded out twice and drove in 6 runs. She has yet to strike out or get walked. She also did not have any errors. We were at Drew's game last night and had parents come up to us and say they heard about how well Jess did this weekend.

She has a game tonight. Drew has a game on Friday. Her schedule today is Drivers Ed at 7 am, basketball practice 9-11, wieght lifting 11-12:30 and then down to the park at 4:30 for her game. Drew has practice down at the complex at 5:30 so it is nice that everything is in the same place so he can walk over from practice to her game. Ahhh - the relaxation of summertime.

On the academic front. Drew made honor roll and Jess got a 4.0.

Little Molly is a spaz. She is still having the occassional accident but I think we are starting to get her into a routine. I hope to have her potty trained soon.
