Baseball

Well, thanks to all my friends' blogs that have music attached (most recently - Merrilee, thanks) I just couldn't help myself.
I have chosen a few songs that I just really love to belt it out! Islands in the stream, copocabana (ask me about American Idol karaoke where I totally rocked as a back up singer).
But one of my all time favs is the song about baseball by my favorite - Kenny Rogers...And since my life is all about baseball it seems, maybe you can love it too.

We Saved the World Before Lunch!

This was the Cub Scout Arbor Day Service Project that Kent organized and the troop 725 participated in. There were some people from Tree Utah who came and talked to the kids about the importance of trees and how to plant and take care of them.
I came after Robyn's soccer game (and when it was almost finished). Jacob walked up with his buddy, Adam, and said, "We saved the world before lunch!"
I said, "what do you mean?"
They said, "we planted 6 trees and we were done before lunch! Duh!"

Maybe it is that easy.
(Oh and yes, this is the same service project where he broke his thumb - saving the planet only goes so far!)

It must be baseball season

Ah, the caps are on, the sound of bats hitting balls fills the air, the crowds of kids on the baseball diamonds, and a cast/splint on a Dixon kids arm.
Last year, Spencer broke his arm in the middle of baseball season. He had to have a pin inserted and was in a cast for 5 weeks. He had to give up his starting pitcher spot on the Cubs team.
This year, it's Jacob's turn. Practice has begun on his team ready for games to start next week. And Jacob is in a splint. He sprained each joint and fractured the bone in his thumb.
The doctor said to keep it splinted for 3 weeks and it should be good after that.
So, either this is the last of the broken limbs or maybe we should give up on baseball all together.
