Happy Halloween!

Whew - hard to believe it's already Halloween. We had a good week - Bradley's baseball team won two games last weekend during their doubleheader. TR had his stent removed this week and feels 1000% better. We won our co-ed game this week.

Bradley's team is playing in a tournament this weekend and went 2-0 today. He pitched great the first game - leading the Braves to a 10-4 win. We then won the second game 7-4 and won our pool putting us in the driver's seat for elimination bracket play tomorrow and our first game won't be until noon!

We got home today in plenty of time to enjoy the Florida sunshine - here's a pic of a typical afternoon at our house - lots of kids in the pool! This is Bradley, Blake, Morgan & Josh who love to hang out together.




After that, we had dinner with our neighbors, set up a table for candy and the girls took the kids trick or treating while the guys stayed outside and gave out candy. The kids all had fun and got plenty of candy (good thing Bradley's dentist appt was earlier this week!) Our first trick-or-treater was Arianna from across the street - she was Wednesday from the Addams family - complete with the headless doll.




Erin was a witch - she should have been Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz and could have carried the puppy around with her.

Bradley had a good time dressing up as Tebow - especially after a Gator win.

Brrrr - It's Cold

Brrr - our first cold front of the year came through this weekend and it was a balmy 54 this morning. Today's high was a mere 68 with winds that were 15-20 mph. It was a chilly day at the ballfield! It definitely wasn't a weekend at the ballfield. Our coed team played in the Mixed Worlds this weekend and ended up 0-2. TR couldn't play since he had kidney stone surgery this week and then our shortstop that we picked up for the weekend wasn't able to play on Saturday as his wife went into labor! We had to start our second game with 6 girls and 4 guys. It was very disappointing but we look forward to playing more tourneys soon.

Bradley's baseball team played a doubleheader today against the Elite Performance Cobras. They are in the division above us so we knew it would be a tough day. We ended up losing both games but the second game our boys committed 11 errors! Thankfully, Bradley only committed one. He played well today, had a bunt double, hit a shot back to the pitcher for a fielder's choice, had a basehit to center and then struck out looking on a pitch right down the pipe! We have a couple of new players that we're having trouble figuring out where they should play in the field -seems like whereever they were they couldn't get the job done in the field. Practice on Thursday should be very interesting.....

We had a busy week with TR's surgery but we he made it through and hopefully will be passing the last of the crushed kidney stones this week. We'll know more after his x-ray next week. In the meantime, enjoy this picture of TR preparing for his procedure....(couldn't resist and Bradley thought it was only fair since we posted a picture of him at the doctor!)

Go Gators!

Where does the time go? Didn't realize it has been so long since our last post. We've been busy as usual - and managed to make it through the three slow-pitch world tournaments we have in September back to back along with our committee and board meetings.

We took a break last weekend and went to Tampa - no sports for the whole weekend (except what was on TV). Enjoyed a relaxing weekend and visited Busch Gardens Tampa. We had a great time and enjoyed several great roller coasters. The park was not crowded and we pretty much walked right on every ride.

We're back to the ballfield tomorrow for a doubleheader - but first, a little college football. Go Gators! If the Gator's don't win, Bradley will be in a deep depression, especially since Tennessee finally woke up and played football today.

Bradley and I are enjoying sitting here watching TR fold laundry! He's become the laundry king since we got the new washer and dryer. Of course, I may have to pull laundry duty for a day or two this week after he gets his kidney stones blasted on Wednesday.

Enjoying the great Florida weather - shorts and flip flops every day - no long pants needed. Promise it won't be as long between our next post.
