Bats, balls and bullet holes











I love the bats and balls - the bullet holes..... not so much. Here's how it went down. A couple of weeks ago Jason noticed some bullet holes in our vinyl fence right in front of where the trailer is and coincidently right across the street from the neighbor boys who we are certain don't really like us. We sat on it for a few days and then Jason had this thought that maybe, just maybe the gun was shot from inside our yard. He remembered the bb-gun being left inside the trailer from last years camping and decided to check it out. Right as the door to the trailer was opened, there sat the bb gun. We got our two boys together and asked Dylan first. His answer was "Nope, not me." Then came Braxton. He didn't even try to deny it. We were very mature parents - no yelling or massively angry words were used. Brax couldn't tell us why he did it or better yet, why after seeing what one bullet did, he kept going. We grounded him for a few days which was more torturous for us, and made him do lots of weeding. Hopefully he has learned his lesson after the many "You could have shot someone's eye out" or "We taught you better" or "What the crap were you thinking?". Now we feel bad for assuming it was the neighbors and will try to not say "Those darn neighbor boys" because we have the darn neighbor boys.

On to better things - baseball season is here. Jason is coaching Braxton's team again. Opening day began at 9 with a game and the parade at 10. Brax is improving each year and so far he is doing great. He is always making sure that I am watching him which is so super cute. He is so excited to play and we love watching him.
