Summer activities have been keeping us busy around here. There have been your usually summer fun, swimming, cooking out, ball games, and camp. Last week, the boys and I ran around going different places then hit the ball field in the evening. Nathan was at work camp at the church; by the end of the week we were ready for some sleep. I had fun playing ball again, then being a mom when I got into the dug out. I played first base and had the best time doing the splits to catch the ball. I got a few bumps and burses along the way, but nothing worth showing off. Friday night I went by myself and we lost the game, I'm thinking next time I need my lucky boys with me. Or maybe it's because Adron thinks his mom is soooooo cool because she plays "bceball" and I do a better job knowing that he is watching. Looking forward to playing with the PRCOC ladies in the spring. I do, however, need a new ball glove. I had retired mine and put it up for some home decor in Adron's room. I'm thinking about a pink glove, batting gloves, and shoes might make a great statement to the other ladies. One team even had on pink shirts and skirts they made a great fashion statement but the also came in last place, but they looked cute and they were very nice.
Nathan's still working all the time and loving his new job. He still gets every Monday off to hang out with us, I tell yaw when he's home we do more work so we need Tuesday to recover from adventures with dad. He has been swimming a lot in the evening to get some exercise.
Ohh more about me. Along with my softball career I've started training for a race in Sept. I got a great schedule M-Sat. of cross training, walking, and running. I've also changed my diet to a vegetarian diet to help me run faster, not carrying all this baby weight. Back to the family....
Houston: growing like all good boys should. He does a "Houston crawl" that is moving on his hands and one leg. He can also walk beside you if you are holding one of his hands, pulls up. He is eating table food. He screams for my chicken, noodles and slow cooked green beans. Banana's, apples, cooked carrots, bread, cheerios (I found this one out when I helped teach his ss class) plus 10 oz of formula before bed. He sleeps so well, takes great naps and goes with the flow with Adron's activities. He talks all the time, new words this week.. "ut oh" or sometimes it's "o o" dada, momma, and he talks with his hands to Adron like he knows what he is telling him.
Adron: eating us out of house and home. Growing way to fast, and it's hard to believe that he will be 4 in a few months. The best thing I can come up with that he is doing new these days its "burting" on command. Adron's dictionary of a "burt" is a fart, windy, toot. We have never told him different because he thinks this is funny and you never know when he needs a good laugh. So when we are in Wal-Mart and he is bored he will throw out a good one and just die laughing... Really I'm laughing inside, while telling him not to do that AT ALL!! But I guess it's an Etheridge thing, his uncle will be so proud.
This week our friends from Dallas, Maddie, and her parents come into town to join us at the beach. I will not be posting due to no Internet service there.. oh darn going to have to spend my days on the beach!
