Our First Lost Game.

We lost to the braves 8-3. It was very sad after we crushed the last team. Dad says that they were probably the best team though. I'm going to pitch at our next game. Keep you updated.

Our Paper Bear?

One morning while me and my brother were doing our paper route we saw a bunch of police cars sitting in the middle of the road ( it was a little road called Blue Hills ). We wondered why they were there and when we walked past they said that there was a black bear wandering around here and to be careful. So we kept doing the paper route keeping our eyes peeled though. We thought that since we had our dog with us that he would give us plenty of warning. I went up and delivered to a house where on one side there was a very small line of trees that I usually walk through but this time I decided not to and I walked across the road to the next house. Well after I had delivered to that house my brother and I turned around and saw a black bear across the road in front of the house right next to the one I had just delivered to. He was looking right at us and was walking straight out of the little line of trees that I usually go through. It kept walking and didn't pay us any mind. Our dog was pulling at the leash like he wanted to go make friends with the bear ( our dog is the friendliest dog on the block). After the bear walked off my brother and I ran back to the police and told the police about it they immediately drove over to the spot to keep an eye out for the bear. We walked home and got dad to drive us the rest of the paper route. I hope the bear found it's way back home and didn't bother anyone and that is about the most exciting paper route ever!

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Baseball season has officially started and our team has won the first game. My dad is the coach and our team name is the "Black Sheep White Sox". The Black Sheep is a popular coffee and pastry place downtown Amherst. We killed the team we played like 15-3 or something like that. Although this game was just for fun to kick off the season we played like we meant it. We hit a homer, triples,and lots of doubles. The other team kept making errors and bad throws where they should of got the out but over threw.I'm Short-stop, pitcher and catcher sometimes ( not all at the same time I should add ). Tomorrow I'm going to pitch and I'm really excited. I'll keep you updated on the games we play.

Spring ( finally )

It's is finally spring! After 5 months it is here. It's 60 and a little breezy we have been playing outside for a lot of the afternoon. There are little buds on the leaves. Here are some pictures.
This is our backyard where we wage battles play football, soccer, and baseball games. And some other things that can't be explained in words!

This is our looking out our front door into the road where my brother and I walk every morning to do our paper route. about 4-5 ambulances and a million cars go by our house every day.
My sister's garden house is many things a pillbox, a castle, a lodge for weary travelers from Greece, and a farm. It took 2 days to build and 2 hours to paint. Sorry I haven't been able to blog it has been a while. i'll try to blog more. How's your spring?!

Easter Sunday

Sorry I haven't blogged in forever. This weekend was Easter ( as you should know ) and I've been thinking of Jesus' humility to come down and die for us. I've been struggling with this for a while. On Good Friday we went to our annual service at 7 o'clock and a staff/assistant pastor had an awesome service. Before I go any further I should explain that he painted 8 pictures for Jesus' last days. They're very modern and abstract ( I couldn't understand any of them ). That night there were lots of candles and people blew them out during the service until it was completely dark except for one small candle on the stage. Then Jesus breathed his last and the candle was blown out and it was completely dark. Darkness had taken the king of the world until Sunday. Everyone prayed and then left. Then Easter Sunday! We all rushed down stairs to see our Easter baskets from Santa clause .......... oh that's a different holiday. We then went to church and learned about death ( and resurrection ). At home we colored eggs and then we hid them and found them at least 4 times. Then 4 people we know from church came and we ate an awesome Easter dinner and watched AFV and Extreme Home Makeover. It was a great Easter and a beautiful day for Christ to come back.

Piano

I'm definitely not the most fond of piano unless I know the song by heart. But I have the best teacher in the world and she has been my teacher for 6 years! She is awesome she has the most patience in the world. I usually don't finish a song even a easy one for about 2-3 weeks ( I'm the biggest procrastinator in the world ). Procrastinate - to put off action. She never has gotten mad in the six years I've been practicing. Cooper and Kayla play the piano to and after class we go and get a special treat with mom across the street at a little store The Cushmans Market and get dark chocolate, root beer , chai tea ,and an ice cream bar. So I shall keep trying and playing so wish me luck.

Spring! Well Almost

Well I don't know what some of you might say but to me it felt like it ( it was 46 degrees ). I wore short sleeves and some others wore shorts and tee shirts with no coat ( these were the crazy college students that will find a way to wear shorts in March. Some of these people I know). Well at least almost all the snow melted. So when you're enjoying 60's - 70' think of me.
