The LLS asked for an updated photo of Cutler for the Links Fore Leukemia tournament, something that would include a golf club. So this morning, before heading to school, I handed Cutler his driver and told him to take a few swings for a quick makeshift photo shoot. Despite his lack of genuine smile in most photos of late, he shined on this effort. It must be his love of golf. Here are a few that I really liked. By a few, I mean a lot and this was with restraint.
After watching some incredibly tense and overly chippy playoff hockey I thought I would mellow out by watching some video of the boys playing. Considering the two of them are quite often going at it like hockey players on opposite teams, it is good to catch these rare moments while lounging by the window. I actually sat there watching for a good 20 minutes. Such a relaxing and heart warming view.
This late night give up is brought to you by NHL playoff hockey.
After a really long day, I’m ready to put a pin in it and go to sleep in anticipation of an early awakening by the kids ready to hunt Easter eggs and so I shall share with you a quick video of my “fast” child on his journey from first to second tonight and his amazing sliding skills. I promise this is not him tripping over second base, just his attempt to slide.
I saw this sign at chikfila today and because I am immature I won’t say what I thought it was really saying. But then I look at it again tonight after I have had some time to mature and…nope can’t do it. Even if you sound it out as written it sounds like what my immaturity was telling me this morning.
Here is my new favorite baseball picture of Mason taken during our last game. Special thanks to Adam for taking the pic.
Thanks to the morning news from yesterday I set my alarm and awoke to see the “blood moon” produced by the lunar eclipse that is a rather rare occurrence. At first, when I went outside to see it at 3:15 am, I was thinking to myself that I must be quite the fool. Then, when I didn’t hear another breathing soul in the streets of my neighborhood I realized that my suspicions must be true. Five minutes after watching it and heading back to bed I figured that while I was a fool I could at least check it off of my list, along with Haley’s Comet. Then I just downloaded the photos from my camera and decided that it was actually pretty cool to see and I am glad I did it.
This picture probably doesn’t do it justice, so hopefully when I have more time to mess with the video and photos I can edit something to help show how cool it really was.
I almost spaced and forgot to do my daily post, but then as I was laying down to fall asleep I heard “Happy” by Pharrell. Just listening to his thought provoking lyrics I felt inspired and reenergized enough to get up and post this team photo taken from Saturday of the four and five year old cats that I get to help herd every Saturday. Notice they are still getting them lined up for the official photo and Cutler already has his photo smile on.
When Cutler got to third base during his game on Saturday I asked him if he was going to slide into home plate and he asked me, “Do you mean like Mason?”. He wants to do everything his brother does and was so eager to slide into home, especially after watching his game just a few hours before. Here is a video of that slide, looks like we have some form to work on.
Since that video is so short, I thought I would include this of one of his hits. He has the pose down after the swing. If he doesn’t correct it by coach pitch, I may feel shown up and have to put the next pitch in his ear to teach him a lesson.
