Noah Places Third

Congratulations Noah, we are so proud of you!!! Today Noah played in his third golf tournament this summer and placed third out of 18 players in his age group. Noah also got his first birdie on a hole EVER. Before this tournament, Noah was able to practice a lot the week before and his hard work and effort paid off with winning a "black" (plaque) as Logan called it.Gary was texting me throughout the round and I would keep Logan updated. When we finally heard he placed third, Logan wanted to talk to Noah on the phone. She started her conversation, saying, "Noah, I heard you got a birdie." So sweet to support him but so funny to hear her use correct golfing terms. The correct terms ended when she then said, "Noah, you didn't use your sandwich did you??" (sand wedge, and Noah had left it on a golf course up in Michigan.) We were all excited for Noah and will remember this win for a long time. Noah has the taste of what it takes to win. His final score was a 34 on a 9 hole par 3 course and his last hole he got a triple bogey. He missed second by a stroke. What fun to see him love golf and see how Gary supports him so well by taking him golfing early in the morning before work. Thank you Gary for all your sacrifice and long days. We have ourselves a little Tiger Woods.

What's to come?. . .Future phone calls

Seriously, I am still laughing. I handed Logan her pink play cell phone that had gone through the wash. So as I was putting the laundry away (it had been over a week and the pile was about to tumble.) in the boys room, Logan made a phone call.(on the pink cell) Logan: Hey Desirae, how are you doing? Me: Logan, Mrs. Crouch is what you need to call her. She isn't your friend, she is Ella's mommy. Logan: Mommy, I am just talking with Dez. I just let it go because I was so tickled. It gets better. This is what I hear with long pauses in between. (I really grabbed Noah's sketch pad and wrote it down word for word) "I've been doing that for weeks." "Oh, you HAVE? Oh, Wow . . good for you!" "Isaiah, not now, I'm having a phone call." Then Logan makes her way into the boys closet, (I am still putting clothes away). I tell her leave the door open and get out of the closet. Her response, "Mom, just like you when you talk on the phone." ...

Today was Logan's photo shoot for her four year picture. Noah (seven years old) had his picture take a couple of weeks ago but I never posted them. Would you believe these were taken downtown. . . . Upland?? Traci Falder, (my running partner) has abandoned running with me to pursue her dream of starting a photography business. (no hurt feelings) She is extremely talented and I encourage you to check out her photography blog at tracifalderphotography.blogspot.com. In between these two photo shoots, I took Isaiah to JCPenny's for his picture because my membership runs out at the end of this month. After trying to keep my active 18 month old on a red dot, in a tiny room, with a billion props to look at, (but me not letting him hold any), it was all I could do to not walk out and call Traci to redo his pics. Which I will in the next week, hopefully:) When I first saw Noah sitting like this, I immediately thought this is exactly how Gary would sit. Traci told Noah to sit on this ben...

Baseball Season has Arrived

Noah as "Lead Off" Batter, which has become Coach Spiegel's nick name for him. This weekend we had a game Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Noah's team is 2-2 and Noah is having a great time. He is batting well and improving out in the field at his new position of pitcher. Last year he played third base and really liked that. Noah is learning to think about where he should throw the ball to get someone out BEFORE the other team hits. He has fielded well and then made errors in where he has or has not thrown the ball. This will come for him as he keeps playing. I hope this doesn't sound critical, I think Noah is a fantastic athlete for his age (I hope that doesn't sound braggy) I just want to journal where he is ability wise so we can look back and see where he improves over time.
