Blood, sweat, and tears.

What a weekend! We actually had fun this past weekend, but there was a little of each of those: blood, sweat, and tears! Dustin had his first baseball tournament Saturday--starting at 9 am. It was so much fun to be a the ball field most of the day, and the boys had some great plays--we got some bad calls, but overall it was a great experience. During the first game, Dylan got hit in the back of his head with a foul ball from another field...didn't really hurt him, but it sure scared him!!! Then, between the 2nd and 3rd games, Dustin was playing around on an extra field, and got hit in the eye with a baseball! He had on sunglasses, so it just gave him a nice cut on his eyebrow. It was bleeding pretty bad, but he held it together! This is him after we cleaned his face up... Here are the boys listening intently to Coach Josh...
And, Jodee and her good friend watching their brothers play some ball...
Finally, yes, you probably assumed the "tears" part was the kids getting hit with baseballs, which is true, but added to those tears, were mine! We are dog-sitting for my aunt and uncle--their dog Mocha is 4 months old, and adorable, but after our last game on Saturday, we came home, and she was GONE!!! I was freaking out...we drove the neighborhood, called her vet twice, drove to my aunt's house, biked around the neighborhood, etc, etc. It was awful! I couldn't sleep that night....and my stomach was killing me. Then I put up signs in the neighborhood Sunday morning, and we went on another bike ride after lunch, and Josh saw her in a backyard!! The really ironic part is that we know the people that live there! We go to church with them, and they had found her around dinner time Saturday, and took care of her till we found her. WHEW!! I was SO relieved!
Here is a funny pic of Mocha: Well, I am looking forward to a nice relaxing, no "blood, sweat, or tears" week!
Dustin starts basketball camp this morning, and Jodee's summer gymnastics starts today too! They are excited. Gotta run to get the day started!
