We are home and I can't wait to climb into my comfy bed. Back to rainy, yucky, Utah weather! Sorry for the constant whining about where we live. Especially for friends that live here. Its really a good place to live, its just not for us anymore. Especially after having Jax and all of his special needs that can't be met here. I'm excited though because we actually have a full summer this year with the boys. Normally they have year-round school, which means they go for 12 weeks and then have 3 weeks off. This makes summer only about a month long. Not near enough for us. But because of our seriously struggling school district (another reason to move!) they are cutting a bunch more teachers and making it a traditional school. So they don't go back until August! I'm not excited to see class sizes next year though. Mondo had 34 kids in his class this year. That is way to many to accurately teach. I just hope we can move before too much time in these new classes.
Pictures are to come, but first I thought I would say what happened with Carters baseball drama. You all know he got asked to try out for All stars, and we flew them out to California so he wouldn't miss it. Well we found out the next day that once again, he was screwed out of All stars! Now this didn't bother me too much at first. I mean, I was a dancer, and always in the top of my class, but there was a lot of dance groups that I didn't make, its part of life. But when we found out a kid on his team made All stars that is way below Carter's level, it really angered me. This kids dad coaches his brother on the league up from us. All the coaches kids make the teams! Are we still that political? This kid went for 7 or 8 games without even getting a hit! Hello! These coaches sons make the team and then the coach complains that their kid didn't play a single second in the all star game. Doesn't that give you a clue that he is not good enough?
Anyway, I know all parents think their kids are the best players, but we've always seen that spark in the way Carter plays. That it was born in him, and we constantly get compliments on his catching skills. That just means that we are not going to play in this league next year. We may just do superleague alone. Superleague is for good players, and they do a lot of tournaments. Its much more serious baseball, but the players are really good! Thats were Carter belongs, so he can be challenged. But a lot of superleague players play in regular leagues for extra practice. If we do that it will for sure be in a different league. This is so unfair to him. Luckily, the great kid that he is, he could care less about it. I just wanted him to be able to play longer because the season is already over and summer is just beginning. Anyway, Ray and I are way more upset than him, and its just because this particular kid made the team that is nowhere good enough. Its sad that its still done this way!
