Yes that’s right. After a 4 day week and putting in also 60 hours I am beat. A few months ago my company purchased a Cisco phone system and this week was the installation. Everything went very well but just taking care of all users and physically putting the phones out. But all is good, I have today and Monday off to recharge.
As summer baseball continue we are traveling to Georgetown this weekend for a tournament. We play tonight at 6 and have games Saturday at 9, 11, and 7. Then a game on Sunday which if we win we’ll be in the Championship. Needless to say the boys have a lot of baseball to play. Luckily Amy’s Grandparents are nice enough to give us a key to the house. They will be out of town this weekend so we’ll have a place to cool off and relax in between games. Be looking for lots of pictures from this weekend. I will try to post each night. I have my friends DSLR so the quality will be really good and I’ll be able to get those quick actions shots I can’t get with my point and shoot.
We’re playing on the fields behind Georgetown Middle. If you can stop by. Jalen will be pitching and playing outfield mostly. Here are a couple of pics to tide you over.

We just walked in the door from Garrad County and glad to be out of the heat. All we did was sweat today. Anyway, we played at 5:45 against the Scott County Chaos. They went up in the first inning 2-0 but we had a 9 run second inning that was simply awesome. They scored a couple more runs but we held them off for the win, 9-4. Not sure when we play tomorrow but the coach is suppose to be calling tonight. Stay tuned for the game results tomorrow. Hopefully the boys can bring home some hardware. Here are a few pics from the day.

We are on the road in Garrad county right now waiting for game 2 of the day to start. Let me first say in is HOT out here. The temp in my truck says 106! Me and Ellie are sitting in the truck with the A/C on while she takes a nap and a break from the heat. Thank the lord I went and bought a canopy yesterday to. Lock some of the sun. Anyway, if you have stepped a foot outside then you feel my pain.
Now for the tourney update. We played Campbellsville first today at 1:45. Keep in mind we have an all 9 year old team and this team had 5 10 year olds. The Jags hung with them even taking the lead going into the 3rd inning. The 4th we just fell apart and walked several. Jalen came in to pitch in the middle of the 4th. Our pitcher at the time was struggling so they put Jalen in with only 1 out and 2 on. He hit the first batter and then settled in and struck out the remaining 2. The next at bat we only scored one then the umpire called time limit on us. So we dropped our first one 13-8.
Next game is at 5:45 against the Scott County Chaos. Jalen is starting pitcher. Hopefully we can get a win. Go Jags!!!

After a long season for both the boys it has come to an end. At least the regular season. Jalen was selected to play on the 9 year old All-Star team! We are so proud of him and are getting ready to start with a tournament this weekend in Garrad County. Hopefully we can get some hardware to bring home. Check back and I will be blogging from the road about the results of this summers tourney games.
Both did well in the regular season but we had some issues with both their coaches. Jalen struggled with hitting but did everything else well. He will be in the pitching rotation on the All-Star team. He has probably the fastest ball speed of any pitcher we have but needs to work on control. Doesn’t do any good to have speed with no control. Trey on the other hand had a really good year all around. Played Short Stop and Third most of the season with a few stints at pitcher (no actually pitching, just standing next to the coach in the pitchers position). He was one of the best hitters on the team this season. Since Cal Ripken doesn’t recognize All-Stars until 8 years of age he couldn’t be nominated for the team but we’ll get ready next spring. He did try out for the select team but several kids that really shouldn’t be on the team made it, cause of their parents, and he didn’t get the call. I hate that for him but there is nothing we can do about it but get better in the off season. So stay tuned for updates this summer. I know that information hasn’t been flowing in the past couple of months but I will be spending more time writing, promise. That is of course if I have any fans left…

Ok, not really but Amy and I are celebrating our 9th wedding anniversary. Time flys when you are having fun. I couldn’t ask for a better person to spend these past few years with. A great wife and mother, she just plain rocks! Love you babe and here’s to many more!
