Baseball

November 2018

Ahh baseball, where to start with you? Well, first off, Tyler loves baseball. He is truly a Lake boy. When he was younger he loved all of the sports teams Jeff did (Lakers, Dodgers, Raiders). Now, he likes to cheer for the team playing Jeff's team. This has been a source of contention for Tyler and Jeff at times, well more like Jeff gets annoyed at Tyler cheering against his team and booing his team. But, Tyler is very committed to his new ways.

The baseball teams he likes to cheer for the most are the Giants and Cubs. Nelson likes the Giants and James likes the cubs. Jeff cannot stand the Giants.

During the world "serious" Tyler cheered for every team that played the Dodgers. He loved to call Grandpa and David and report back to them the score when the Dodgers lost. David would call when they won. It was pretty funny. Unfortunately for Jeff but fortunately for Tyler, the Dodgers lost the world "serious" to the Red Sox.

November 2017

Tyler was playing baseball with "Big Tyler" when Big Tyler said, "Hey batter batter." Tyler replied, "Hey nutter butter. Hey cookie cookie."

Tyler is playing baseball. He team mates are the Tigers, D-Backs, Diamondbacks, Ravens, and Broncos. 

A: Tyler was disappointed the Cubs lost last night, he said, "Ah man, again?" But he also said he wants to live by the Dodgers so not sure where his loyalties really are.
James: Tell him there's always last year.

Tyler is trying to hit the baseball over the neighbor's wall because "When it goes over the fence it is a home run." He made me take off his fake gloves that he had to "hit better". He also sings the song he hears while at baseball games, the one that goes, "Everybody clap your hands".

Tyler is cheering for the Astros to win and Justin Turner to get a home run. Not sure how that that is going to pan out.

He thinks "strikes" are called "stripes".

He is talking about a "base run". Not sure if that is a thing or not but I don't know baseball so maybe it is?

He is spitting before he hits the ball. Not ok!

I am not happy I have the Dodger line up memorized so Tyler and his friends can to be them while they play baseball in the backyard. His favorite player is the "The guy who goes on his knees, Austin Barnes." As Barnes his is constantly adjusting his "face mask" (which doesn't exist by the way). He told his friend he had to be Kershaw because the friend was pitching.

Harry Potter Baby Shower

 I helped throw Kristina Lake a baby shower. Well, since it was Harry Potter theme I did more of a financial contribution while her sisters, who know HP, did the planning. It turned out super cute and she loved it. 

Unfortunately for Tyler, later that night his wand was not able to turn his potty into Gatorade, nor many of the other spells he tried. "Magic, magic, turn my ____ into ___!"

Future wizard?

St. Patrick's Day 2018

Now that the kids are getting older, it is fun to celebrate the holidays with them! St. Patrick's Day was no exception.  

Our decoration corner.

Tyler set up a trap to catch a leprechaun. He put out his left over waffle and donuts. The leprechaun would see them, sneak to try to get them and then get caught in the green lanyard.

When he saw the waffle from his trap was put back in the fridge he said, "Oh, I guess he didn't like the waffle and put it back in the fridge. That is sad. "

Unfortunately the trap did not work and the naughty leprechaun played around in our house while we slept. He turned the toilet water green.

He left a trail of gold, chocolate coins. He cautiously and optimistically looked around the house the rest of the morning for gold coins. 

He also turned the milk green, left pear applesauce, and green Gatorade.

When he saw all the things the leprechaun had done he said, " He brought me green yogurt, no way! Did he bring me little shoes? Does he have a car to drive from the forest to California? That is a long way. Wait- are there bears in the forest? Maybe he will come to my soccer game next week and like play with me.

Very Funny
