Bailey n Baseball
Bailey had his first baseball game last night. He is on a team called the A's. He is #20. The kid pitching this year is fun to watch. The kids they had pitching last night were fast and good. Most kids couldn't hit the ball, lots of strike outs or walks. Bailey had 2 walks that I can remember. Some kids had a couple of hits and a couple of good plays, other than that the game goes by pretty quick. I'm sure they all improve over the summer.

Memorial weekend 2009
We had a pretty uneventful Memorial weekend. Steve worked ALL weekend, and I worked Sat and Sunday night.
I did manage to take some fun pictures of Hannah. Her and I had a campfire on Friday night, while Bailey was at the Saints game here in town (his hang out).
Friday night was the Reading Challenge kids night at the Saints game, so it's always crazy busy there with kids galore. Cars are parked close to our house and the field is 2 blocks away. So even though Hannah completed the reading challenge by reading over 150 min. each week for 4 weeks, and received a free family pass, free popcorn and pop, and missed out on the face painting, and the activities, plus the baseball game....she was content to have a campfire with mom, cuz I didn' want to take Hannah without Steve, and he didnt' get home until after 8:30pm.
I was home with the kids on Monday all day, and really wanted to do something, but not much happened....Hannah and I planted some flowers.
Then Hannah and I went to the park, and found out she is quite the "monkey".....
(after the park I took the kids to DQ for a treat).

a concert in church?
WELS Christian performer, recording artist, and songwriter, Chris Driesbach came to our church this morning, and we had a mini concert. It was quite the treat and the kids and I really enjoyed listening to him. I wish Steve would have been there to hear him as well, but he had to work.
Chris is from Crown of Life Lutheran church in New Orleans, LA. His congregation was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in Aug 2005. It was rebuilt one year later, by generous people and donations, including "Builders for Christ". He has since travelled all over the US performing.
The interesting thing about Chris is that he did not grow up a christian, never went to church, never was baptized, never believed in God, he considered himself a athiest until he was in his mid 30's. He got married and had 2 children, but drove his family away, when he became addicted to alcohol and almost killed himself with the drug. He then realized it was time to change and found Faith Lutheran church,in Anckorage, Alaska where he was living at the time-- took a Bible information class, and many in depth disscussions with his new pastor, sending all of his hardest questions towards the pastor, all of which the pastor answered as he read from the Bible. All the answers to his questions were Bible based and not man made ideas. He truly believes it was the gift of the Holy Spirit that led him to Jesus. He is now at amends with his children as well.
He is a very moving singer and songwriter, and I had to fight back the tears throughout. He gave away his CD's after church with an optional donation. He had a kids CD, and 2 of his most recent CD's, one just having come out in March of this year. So the kids and I were eager to grab them up, with a donation of course.

I have a favorite song of his already called-- "I Can't Believe It, But I Do"

That's a whole lotta bikes
Today finally came-- The class of 2020 (he he--that sounds so funny),the
3rd Annual 1st grade bike rally. It's been an anticipation for all the 1st graders since the beginning of the school year. What a beautiful day for a bike ride, I was even excited for all the 1st graders of Dassel Elementary. I went down to the school this afternoon to see them take off on their ride down the new path in Dassel towards Spring Lake Park. My excuse for not riding along with is I don't have a bike. I should have just grabbed Steve's, cuz once I walked down there I wanted to ride with, it looked like fun. My idea was just to go down and see this sight, of 80 some 1st graders on their bikes and take some pictures. Hannah of course saw me, and then put on her serious pose. I give the teachers credit for keeping organization !! I thought it would be a mass of bikes and unrulely kids. They were all well behaved and listening. 80 kids went back in school, put their prizes away, went potty, put helmets on, got in a line and were off on their ride in a matter of 15 minutes. WOW.
They spent the whole day learning about bike safety, got free helmets, t-shirts and a prize. 8 lucky kids even won a new bike... those that needed a new bike were put into a drawing. What a fun day, I'm sure when Hannah gets home from school she will be talking non stop about her day.

There's Hannah ready for the ride
