Baseball boy

It is still in the 80s and 90s here. There is no "feeling" of fall. It looks like fall here because the leaves have changed colors but there is no change in temperature. Not really what I was expecting out of an October in Kentucky.

The highlight of my week was on Friday. The kids and I went to Yankee Candle Co. and Bath and body works because they were having a sale on their scented oils. I have wanted to get some for a long time but didn't have a burner yet. Well, at the Yankee store they had burners for $5.00 along with some fall scents. Then Bath and body works had all their oils scents for only $3.00. Yes, I took advantage and got me some good smells. My fav so far is Spiced Cider. It is so delicious and I spent the whole evening in total joy because I loved the smell in my house. So that was fun to get a bargain deal. Then I took the kids to a consignment shop in hopes to find something for Halloween. There was nothing too exciting. However, I did buy our new little baby a winter hat and gloves. I'm not announcing that it is a boy, but I am just banking on my gut feeling that it is a boy because the hat is yellow and blue. When I was driving away I was thinking, "hmmm, I am really gambling that this new baby is a boy." Then I thought, "Okay, if it is a boy he will kick right now!" And guess what HE DID!!!! Seriously right on que. So either it is a boy and he was being obedient or it is a girl who is ticked off that I just called her a boy so she kicked me. We will see next week.

So after that we were hungry so I went and got bread sticks and root beers from Little Caesar's. I don't get to go there often because our Little Caesar's is way out of the way so I was thrilled to be able to eat there. We took it to a park, ate lunch, and then played for awhile. It was such a fun day for me. Good bargains, good food, great fun!

Ryan has been home since Saturday afternoon. It has been so nice to have him around because Wednesday I hurt my back pretty bad. I wasn't doing anything, just bending over to move something. By Saturday I was feeling a lot better but then I moved wrong that night and hurt it again. It has not been fun. So I have been taking it real easy which of course makes me feel so guilty. Ryan has been really good about entertaining the kids or cleaning up after dinner and such. I just hope this heals soon.

I enjoyed conference a lot. I actually watched all four sessions without falling asleep. That is amazing. Aidan couldn't get over not going to church. He kept telling me that God wants us to go to church. He was really perplexed by it all but once he saw a session of conference I think he got the just of it. You know it is so good that we know they are publishing these talks next month because for the most part I couldn't tell you who spoke on what but I can tell you how I felt during certain talks. It will be great to read over them again and realize what I liked about each talk.

Ryan has been playing baseball with Aidan a lot lately. Aidan at the beginning of spring would occasionally hit the ball but it wouldn't go too far. Not he hits the ball a lot and pretty far. He almost cleared our house this afternoon and can hit it from one side of the yard to the other. He is doing so great! So here is a little video for you to see. The last hit is his best and it went as far to the edge of our yard as it could.
