Baseball season has begun

Our busy time of year has begun. We have baseball four days a week now. But as long as Keith is having fun, that's what counts, and the season is short. We'll be done by the first part of June. He's on the majors this year. It's a little different level than last year, but he's doing well. Given time he'll find his grove again. :) Last night we absolutely froze at the game. Keith's hands were bright red. We were spoiled with the first few games. The weather was gorgeous. Hopefully it will begin to improve again. Next game I'm wearing long johns. :) Here's a few pictures. Keith is #2 and his team is called The A's.

Sushi Date

So Keith and I got to have date night tonight. We chose to go to Sushi! Keith loves it, I love it, it works. :) So here are a few pictures of the beginning of the night. Keith found a Japanese soda he really wanted to try, so he tried it and and he loved it. He says it is now his favorite soda. :) We split a spicy tuna roll, he got a Las Vegas Roll, and I got the Caterpillar roll. Yummy. I had reserved a little room (not sure what they're called) and he thought that was pretty fun. It was like we were the only ones there. We laughed a lot and enjoyed our sushi.










So then we got to talking about how we like the little tiny fish eggs on top of the sushi. Keith likes how they explode in your mouth when you bite them. He says it's like a party in your mouth. I kept having to tell him not to lick the plate because he was trying to get every little fish egg off the plate. (Good thing we were in that little private room!) So, we were done eating but Keith was looking at a picture of a bunch of fish eggs wrapped in seaweed. He was thinking that might be pretty good. So I told him we could order one piece just to try it and see what it tasted like. Well, when we got it, the eggs were the size of small peas! And Keith believes he could see little baby fish inside of them! But we ordered it and we both said we'd try a bite so I made Keith go first. He said it was not a party in his mouth but a party crasher in his mouth! It was DISGUSTING! So then I had to try it knowing I had given my word and couldn't back out. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.






Seriously people this was the grossest thing I have ever eaten! It tasted like a dead fish that had been sitting in the garbage in the hot sun for six days! Keith is looking over my shoulder right now saying "It wasn't that bad Mom!" Uh...yes it was! Wish I had thought to take pictures while Keith was taking a bite. Because his picture would have been about as bad as mine! Lucky for us they took it off our bill because we told the guy how gross it was. I don't think a stick of cinnamon gum ever tasted so good. I believe we will be sticking with the tiny fish eggs and we will eat them in moderation. :) It was a really fun night with some great memories made. Even though I'm now burping up a nasty fish taste. I think I'll try swallowing some mouth wash or something!

New tent trailer

Today we had the fun of surprising the kids by buying a tent trailer. We've been keeping the secret for two weeks now. We told the kids we had some running around this morning and headed up to Deer Park where we purchased it. About 2 minutes outside of Deer Park, Keith figured it out. They are so excited (as are we)! It's pretty nice with a queen and king size bed, plus couches that lay down into beds, heater, fridge, sink, stove that you can cook with inside or outside, outside shower, ect.. I guess we'll be camping with style. :) So I took a couple pictures of it, you'll get a little idea of what it looks like. Kelly thinks she would like to live in it. Once the rain goes away we will probably set it up some in the backyard and get a little use out of it there too. The dealer said a lot of people us it as a little guest house when company comes. :) Anyone want to come visit? :) Ha Ha!

13 years!

It seems like just yesterday we fell in love. :) Each year gets better and better. Here are a few of my favorite pictures from our special day. Thought it would be fun to look back.
