We have been so busy this week/weekend it's been hard to keep our heads above water.
The boys had the county baseball championship tournament all last week. They won all the games and went to the final game. Coincidentally, the team they played was the same team that was in our town championship. (This, to me, speaks volumes about our town's great baseball) So, it was two Mt Pleasant teams fighting for the county championship. We came in runner up. The boys played a good game but it just wasn't their day. One family had a very serious car accident right before the game and another family came and helped, brought the children to the game, while the mama was brought by ambulance to the hospital. That was all on our minds and with the heat and stress of it all, we just weren't in it. That poor mama is still in the hospital now so please keep them in your prayers. We did have something happen in the game that has never happened before. The boys play 3rd and shortstop. They both called they had a pop fly. Well, one caught it but since they were both watching the ball, they both ran into each other causing the ball to drop out of his glove. They both were so upset they started crying right on the ball field. It was pretty upsetting, but kindof humorous too...So, our team came in 2nd in the county tournament. We are so proud of them and will play with mostly all the same boys because our All Star team makes up 1/2 of our team and 1/2 the other team we played against.
We just started unpacking YESTERDAY! We were so busy with the tournaments and then went to help with the children of the family that had the accident. It was so sweet, one of their daughters fell asleep in my lap..she was precious...
So, yesterday we started unpacking. Today, Darryl is home so we can unpack some more. We also have an unexpected LARGE expense today. We have to drill for a new well. Our existing well is bad so we were very upset about it, but I really feel that the Lord will provide the funds to be able to pay for this.
I'm also hoping to visit the mama from the car accident in the hospital sometime today and am hoping to make them some food.
Sooooo...I'll update with pictures from the tournament soon! Whew!!
Our All Star tournament starts tonight so we will be busy with that as well. Wish those boys luck!

Mt Pleasant Champions!!
The boys had a double header for the championship last Satuday. First game they won..then they were off to the championship. I'd be lying if I didn't say they were nervous. The team they were to beat have been undefeated for 3 years. I was with Nic in the dugout and he told me how nervous he was. I reminded him that the boys they were playing against were the same boys on their All Star team so their team was just as good they just had to believe they would win. It was so close. The score was 5-5 and our team went up to bat. We got one run making the score 6-5 but then the other team was going up to bat. The coaches just told them to hold them...and they got three outs without scoring!! Our team won 6-5. It was a great game.
Here's Nic at 3rd and Matthew at short stop...
Unstoppable!!
Champions!!!
Matthew-short stop
Dillon-second base
Nicholas-third base
Go Wildcats!!
