Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there, but especially Jon who is such a wonderful daddy to Maecyn and Zander! My kids smile so much when playing with their daddy! I love to see the joy not only on their faces, but on Jon's. He never fails to step in and help when needed and give me a break. He loves his kids more than I could have ever imagined. We are very blessed to have you babe! We love you!!! 

We had some friends come down from Phoenix last night to see Jon pitch. The game was supposed to start at 7:35, but due to the other team's travel issues, Jon did not throw the first pitch until 9:50pm. Jon pitched an awesome game. He threw 7 2/3 innings, gave up 2 runs, and struck out 2. When he left the game, his team was winning. However, the Scorpions ended up losing, so Jon got a no decision. By the time the game was finally over, it was 1am and Zander was still going strong! We got home and put on his Cars DVD, but instead of falling asleep, he decided he wanted to watch the movie. The kid never runs out of energy... at 2am, he came in bed with us and finally went to sleep. phew.

I can't believe the past month has gone by as fast as it has. We've been living in the hotel for about 5 weeks now, and we have our routine down pat. The time is flying by and this coming Thursday, Jon leaves for a 24 day road trip. Yes, 24 days! I'll be single parenting it for over 3 weeks, which could get interesting! I wish I could know what my kids are thinking when there dad is gone for so long??? Jon plays 10 games at home in late July/first few days of August, but then has another 3 week road trip. The last week of games (first part of September) are played at home. This crazy travel schedule is going to make time FLY by. I am excited to head to Phoenix next week and be "home" for a few weeks!

We have been very busy lately. We put an offer on a house, a home we didn't really think we were going to get; it was only on the market 7 days AND they received multiple offers. However, to our wonderful surprise, the bank accepted our offer and we are under contract! We are elated!!!! We'll do the inspection late next week, so as long as nothing crazy is wrong with the house, we will be closing by July 27th. I am so happy this long process is coming to an end. Buying a house takes a lot longer than we thought! It's definitely time to settle down and have some roots!

Coming this week: Maecyn's 6 month pictures and Zander's 19 month pictures... whoa!!!!
