Josh vs Brian

I often write on here about Rachel and her friends, but not about Josh and his friends. Josh has been friends with Brian since Kindergarten. Now boys don't go around saying who their 'best friend' is, but if Josh had to pick one, it would be Brian. They were in different classes, but Josh's kinder teacher was Brian's mom, Kristin or Mrs. Szyper-sounds like zipper. They were on the same team their first year playing baseball. That was the beginning of a great friendship and many years of playing ball together. The first time Josh spent the night at the Szyper home, Kristin's husband Toby asked,
"Does Josh come with instructions?"
I am not sure what happened that night, but I do know that they have spent a lot of time together since age 5. And whether they are playing soccer or baseball or just hanging out, I am glad that these guys are great friends!!!

Ocassionally, the boys play against each other and Josh hates it!!! Today was one of those days. There is no pressure involved in playing against friends...WHATEVER! Luckily they both played well and hit off each other, they did not strike each other out and after the game they are still friends...Even though they beat us this time 7-1 BUT last time we beat them 13-0!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Josh says:

Hey Mom can you get me a drink?

I say:

Josh says:

PLEASE can you get me a drink?

All I need to say is BASEBALL...

Catching Up...with RACHEL

Rachel participated in the Sierra Valley Championships up in Folsom at Vista Del Lago on May 1st and 2nd. This was the last Galt High School swim meet of the season. Her times were good enough on Friday so she was able to swim on Saturday. Josh and I went up to watch her. She took 2nd place on her Backstroke and 8th on her Freestyle. Overall the JV girls took 4th place out of 7 teams.


I added the above picture so you can see how hard it was raining for a while. It rained quite a bit during the meet...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANDICE!!!

Candice turned 15 on May 3rd. After their meet, we took a bunch of her friends bowling at Strike's. It was a lot of fun.







Candice and Rachel have been best friends since they met in 1st grade.
