May Already?!?!?!

Where did April go? This year is going WAY TOO FAST!!!
I guess I'll recap the end of April and see what has been happening around here.
RJ has had several "school" ball games since I posted last. His team is undefeated! WOW!! They had several cancelled games this past week due to the rain. On Saturday the 25th, he had a double header and we got sunburned from sitting in the sun all day!
He is also playing on a Hot Stove team here in our town. He had a game with them on Wednesday & then Thursday he was able to play with them again since his school game was cancelled. They were down by 2 and RJ got up. He hit a sweet stand-up triple bringing home the tieing run. Then they walked the next batter & the next batter got up and hit a simple base hit. When they threw the ball to 1st to get him out, RJ took off for home & beat the throw, bringing in the winning game.
B's first softball game got cancelled due to the rain. She will have her next game this week. She loves playing softball and is getting quite good at it! She is a righty but bats left handed. It has taken several years and getting up into the older level for the coaches to quit trying to 'fix' her when she gets up to bat. She has been batting left handed since coaches pitch so let's just leave her alone! HAHA!
R has her first game on Tuesday also. She had practice this afternoon & did a good job at pitcher & in the field too. She has come a long way in pitching since last year. What an improvement.
May has started off with a bang! Rod was gone with some friends playing in a band for a fundraiser thing on Friday night, RJ had a game - which got rained out in the 1st inning, Rachel had practice - at which she got soaked about 5 minutes before I got there to pick her up! Saturday, RJ was suppose to have a double header but due to weather things got changed around. Instead of leaving the house at 7, we didn't have to leave until 9:45 so that was nice. After the game, we spent the remainder of the afternoon & evening at some good friend's house. We had a great time & as always enjoyed the fellowship of friends.
I cannot believe it is almost Mother's Day - have no clue what I am doing for my Mom or MIL. Also, our 20th anniversary is coming up soon. RJ has about 2 weeks left in school ball then all of our games will be here in town instead of his being all over the place.
Well that is our latest update!!
