As you can imagine, today was very exciting for Owen.  Flags everywhere!  Nancy bought each of the boys and Old Navy flag t-shirt.  Since Owen insists on wearing his often it was dirty today.  He was pretty upset when his brothers had on flag shirts and he didn’t.  However, dad came to the rescue- Joe dug out an Old Navy flag shirt circa 2003.  Owen was so happy!  At the parade he pointed out every single flag that went by and held his up high.  The big boys gathered up all kinds of candy and shared with their little brother.

Owen went down to the basement with Joe last night and when he came back upstairs- this is what he looked like.  I can’t say that I was too happy about it either.  I love those curls.  I know they were getting a little unruly, but this is a bit extreme for me.  My shock was pretty apparent.  Truitt finally said to me, “Mom, you’re making Owen sad.  Stop talking about his haircut!”.  (By the way, Owen really could have cared less :))

I found this great drawing in Truitt’s backpack.  If you have sons you will probably recognize some of these little images- R2-D2, light sabers, AT-AT’s.  Yep, it’s Star Wars.  I always save these drawings in special folder.  I love looking at them and I know the boys will too when they get older.

Let’s see, I was at the baseball field for 5.5 hours today!  Whew!  Truitt had his first game at 10am.  He hit his very first pitch!  I wasn’t expecting him to have a hit so quickly.  I was still fiddling with the settings on my camera and missed it!  Unfortunately, that was his only hit.  As soon as his game ended Isaac had his team pictures at the same field.  We realized that both boys are #9.  Isaac stayed to practice for his 1:00 game.  I ran home and grabbed a bite to eat.  I decided to leave my camera at home.  Wouldn’t you know, Isaac pitched for the first time!  He even threw two runners out at first!  AND, he was the catcher for the remainder of the game.  I forgot to mention he had a great base hit.  The game was tied and went into extra innings.  The other team scored five runs and ended up winning.  It was still a great game.  Isaac looked great!  Too bad his mom left the camera at home :(.
