Snakes

I once had an accounting professor tell us that everyone knows bad writing when they read it but not everyone is a good writer.  I was reading some of my older entries on my blog and my writing is pretty poor at times.  I'm glad I don't worry about that or I would never get anything down.




Bear River Classic- Tremonton


Lisa- Last week Lisa played in double headers on Saturday and then again on Monday in  Clinton.  It was fun to be outside in the nice weather to watch her play.  Her team is not very good.  They are playing against older girls and that extra year does make a huge difference at this age.  The coaches said they want Lisa to pitch because their pitching has not been so hot.  So we have been working on that a little, and we will see how it goes.  Even though the team is struggling to win games, the girls are the nicest and most fun girls you could have as teammates.  Lisa could try out for a different team, one that is better, one that is out of town every weekend, and has better coaching.  But, her coaches are nice, she gets to pick where she plays, and she has fun.  Last week the coach took a mini van full of the girls and they went to Logan to see Kylie play Utah State.  When the coach dropped Lisa off the whole van could not stop laughing, they apparently were like that all the way from Logan.  They all just have so much fun.

Eric- Try outs of little league were last week and the comp coaches were all in attendance trying to round off their rosters.  Eric was invited to play on two teams.  I hate telling the coaches he can't play.  I tell them all that Eric really wants to play and that I won't let him.  The truth is that he looks really good for about two months and then he gets tired of it and stops working, which is fine by me.  I would rather he plays all the sports.  He was invited to play on a team and he told the person "My Dad won't let me play."  He never even told me about it, I found out through Lisa. To me, that is a huge compliment of his baseball skills.  To Eric, I really  don't think he cares.  Eric gets really excited to play the sport that is in season.  And he works hard at that sport.  I don't think there is anything wrong with that and I'm glad he has fun.  It appears all the football kids that play baseball got on the same team and Eric is excited to be with his friends.  The coach was one of the assistant football coaches and Eric likes his kid.  He was the quarterback last year.   He will have fun with these guys.
     Eric finished his coding book at his after-school class so now him and two other kids are learning HTML. What's next, C++ by the sixth grade?

David- is into snakes right now.  He walks around the house with his snake book showing me these gross pictures of snakes.  David has the same baseball coach as last year.  I like those guys.  I have not seen them this year because dealing with Lisa is a full time job.  But Wendy tells me all about the team and the shenanigans.  My favorite line from David's coach is " Kids, listen to me, you can screw around all you want in school, but this is baseball, PAY ATTENTION!"  You have to know these guys to know they are not kidding.  There is always something to talk about with all these personalities.  I find it all very entertaining.
