1st Game - FINALLY

Boys had their first baseball game tonight - FINALLY! they got rained out three or four times and we finally got to see them play on one of the hottest/muggiest nights of the summer thus far. Joy!

They looked so much better than last year and the whole team actually got better as the game went on. They did end up winning, although they don't keep score (whatever). Joe and I decided the score was at least 12-7, but it might have been higher cuz we lost count somewhere in the third of four innings. :)

Travis & Thomas both got up 3 times. Travis went 2 for 3, eventually getting home both times. Thomas only went 1 for 3 (got hit home as well) but he did amazing in the field! The kid threw from their outfield almost to the pitcher - good arm!

I'll post pictures later, when I remember to bring the camera in to attach it to the computer! :)

Moments for Myself - 18 June 2009

"Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but be a new and different person with a fresh newness in all you do and think. Then you will learn from your own experience how His ways will really satisfy you."

All he wants for summer is his two front teeth

Travis just lost his TWO front teeth!

Both boys have had loose teeth for quite awhile and kept eating apples, carrots, etc. to get them to come out. Finally tonight Travis' came out! Then cuz we were then obsessed with teeth for the next hour, Thomas made his bleed trying to get them out and Travis' second one came out easily.

So, one half of me was celebrating with Travis, talking about the tooth fairy and how she was going to pay up. [Apparently I have to hold her down and threaten to pull off her wings if she doesn't pay enough.] The other half of me was consoling a very upset Thomas and telling him his would fall out soon and we'd celebrate just as much for him.

Ah, the joys for twins! :-)

Jazzoo 2009

A picture is worth a thousand words, so consider this a link to my photographic novel of Friday nights event - Jazzoo 2009.

For those unfamiliar with Jazzoo, it is the annual creative black-tie gala fundraiser for the Kansas City Zoo. This year was the 20th anniversary of Jazzoo in celebration of the Zoo centennial - overall a very cool year to attend!

My company, Digital Evolution Group, provides the website for the event as an in-kind sponsor and this is one of the events where I get to play project lead. LOTS of fun!

Picture below is of the majority of the DEGers who attended this year's event.
