the Klimek Chronicles

Baseball has come to an end for our family for the season. It was a fun season with many nights at the field for our family. Andrew played every Monday and Wednesday night, and Austin played on Tuesday and Thursday nights--we never sat around and wondered what to do at night! :-)

Here are a few shots of the kids from last week's final games...

(somehow, I uploaded them backwards!)

Austin is stealing third to home--Jamie, the third base coach, sent him on a passed ball!

(yes, he was safe!)

~~~

Here is Austin and Jamie watching the pitch and waiting for the opportunity to steal home...

Austin up to bat...

Both boys finished off their seasons with a tournament this past weekend. Austin's team won their first game (which was played on Tuesday in Barron). They also won their second game, but ended up losing their third game in Clayton. They had a really good season, and Austin played really well--especially defensively at second base!

~~~

Andrew's team played their first tournament game Saturday morning in Rice Lake. They won that game, and were down by 2 runs in the second game in the top of the 5th inning (the games were 5 inning games), when the rain storm we were having produced thunder and lightening as well. The game was postponed until Sunday afternoon where we started where we left off--top of the fifth inning with the other team up to bat. We ended up playing one more inning, and we WON the game! Andrew's team went on to win one more game to win the whole tournament! It was an exciting Sunday afternoon of baseball!

Here is Andrew's team with their prize trophies (Coach Bruce had just had water dumped on him!)! ~ Yes, this was the best picture out of three that I had of Andrew--he was such a dork for the pictures! You think this looks bad, you should see the one in the Barron News Sheild!!!!

Andrew's reaction upon getting his trophy!

Gettin' the Gold!

Abby has been keeping busy going to brother's games and golfing on Tuesday mornings. She is now done with golf for the year. Of course, she is also quite busy playing with her dogs!
~~~

Here is Abby trying to re-create the scene from Lady and the Tramp when the two dogs are eating spaghetti and they slurp up one noodle and their lips come together for a quick smooch. Well, she has the noodle in her mouth, and the dogs are coming after the noodle and giving Abz a "smooch"! GROSS!!!

~~~

Jack and Sophie BOTH go for the noodle at once!~~~

Jack's turn for the noodle kiss!

~~~

Sophie gives big, sloppy noodle kisses!~~~
Abby with her fangs, I mean noodles!

That is a bit of what we have been up to lately--a quick blog to try to make up for my serious lack of bloggin recently!

Happy Weekend!
