Michael was an All-Star!

Michael was chosen with two
other boys from his team to
be in the All-Stars for the
spring baseball club.

The Franklin league had over
400 5-6 year olds play this
spring. They picked a little over
80 to be in the All-Stars.

Here is Michael running
to homeplate while being
introduced over the
microphone.

They had 3 competitions
before the games started.
This is from the running
competition. It was purely
a timed event around the
bases. I thought Michael
was pretty quick....turns out..
not so much.

Gone around 3 bases and
I'm headed for home!
Michael had a big time
competing in the throwing
competition for the
All-Stars. They had to
throw from 2nd base to
home and get it through
the cones. It could roll
through, bounce through,
to be thrown through.
They got 5 chances to do this
and I think Michael got
2 or 3 out of the 5.

Here is another good throw!
Here is Michael during
the hitting contest. His
best friend, Frankie,
actually won the hitting
contest for our field and
was in the hit-off with the
3 other boys who won
their fields. Frankie
finished 2nd overall!

I've been tagged....

Megan tagged me, so here we go:

I love the smell of – Michael after a shower, chocolate and roses

People would say that I - am really organized....(I just put on a good show)

I don’t understand why – we have got such problems as a nation, but the government turns a blind eye to them.

When I wake up in the morning – I am on the go!

I lost my willpower to – clean the house. (Megan's answer couldn't be better!)

Life is – toooooooo busy!

My past made my - blood run orange!

I get annoyed when I – am around people who think there is no one else in the world but them.

Parties are not a good time to – parties? who gets to go to parties?

Trust me.Dogs are – a necessary part of my life.

Cats are – to help you get your "motor" running.

Tomorrow is – first day of summer break....Yeah!

I have low tolerance for – misbehaving children (mine or others). (Again, Megan hit it right on the head)

I’m totally terrified of - snakes.....ick!

I wonder why I thought my life would be – relaxing.

I always knew I would – love to travel.

Never in my life have I – seen "Casablanca".

High school was – first two years were just o.k., but the last two years were phenonmenal!

When I’m nervous - my breathing gets short.

One time at a family gathering – I almost caught a small shark off the bridge at the cottage in Florida.

Take my advice – always follow through with your threats of punishment with your kids.

Making my bed - used to happen, now I'm happy if I can get my kids to make theirs.

I'm almost always – on the phone.

I’m addicted to – my kids, diet Dr. Pepper (my new fave), UT football and skiing

I want someone to – come and cut my 7.5 acres of grass, weed my flower beds, clean my house, paint the fences, water my plants, paint the house, clean out my closets and garage, fix Kenneth's old Mustang, give me more time in the day, I can go on and on and on and on and on.
