Coach pitch Baseball




Charles has started playing the all American favorite pass-time game of Baseball. We signed him up for it right before Aaron lost his job so the fees were already paid for. He loves the fact that he is on the same team as so many of his friends from school and church. I think out of all of the kids on his team there are maybe half that he knows. Its awesome.

The games are a great intorduction for the kids into the sport and its rules. Each team gets to go through their line up and have everyone bat until they hit the ball and get to run the bases.The first game was pretty rough for most of the kids on the team. they are all mostly like charles where this is the first real exposure that they have had to baseball. It is great to see how far they have come in just 3 games.
Once Charles got the idea that he needed to drop the bat and run after he hit the ball he really enjoyed himself. Watching all these kids just have a ball is so great. They get to see their friends and cheer them on too.
Charles was ready and wating inthe outfield to catch whatever ball might come his way...
As the kids were waiting to bat, they were picking grass and putting it in their hats for "good luck" too funny!!!
A classic Coltrin moment... caught in a picture picking a seat :) I couldn't resist putting this one in...
Coaches pitch will be short lived but what a fun time for Charles to have. Hopefully next year we can put his sisters on a team. We will see.

That is so cool! I habe ben wanting to put Elena on a team. (Jim of course is a huge fan of the game and his job is in the business.) He can tell you all about the superstitions and silly things baseball players to for good luck. I am sorry to hear about Aaron losing his job. Hope things are okay!

Murder Mystery in the Manor

What do you do when you want to spend quality time with some of the people in your village?  You plan Murder Mystery night of course!  I count Aaron and I very blessed and humbled that we have more village than what we played the game with that night, and I plan to host a couple more murder mysteries to enjoy all ofy village in the near future.  Tonight, we were set in a Manor. I was the wealthy Anthony Westgrove, that is dying of cancer and wanted to gather my family to say goodbye and to let them know I was turning the company over to my illegitimate son Richard, who was the only one that knew I planned to commit suicide after the gathering. We had a Lavish dinner planned of Flat Iron Steak, Marnie's Augrautin potatoes, Jenn's Rolls, Shannon Brock virgin Movktails and I topped it all off with Creme Brulee for dessert. The game company that I got this mystery night from was not as well thought out as How to Host a Murders for sure! The books were inconsistent...

2017- starts off with a bang

We had a New Years Eve  party with some of our close friends! We enjoyed a night of food, fun and entertainment. I wanted to do some minute to win it games to break up just the chit-chat and board games that we play so often when we get together. We played a game where we had to stack dice on a tongue depressor, and a really fun game where we had to carry potatoes between our legs across the room and drop them into a bucket. we got the adults and kids involved. It was such a fun night! As I prepare for the coming year, I hope that We have many, many more nights just like this one!!!
