Drake vs. baseball bat

Bat won!

Friday night, the boys were playing a game with some friends at the baseball field. Next thing we know Drake was inline with the swing from a bat! Knocked his top permanent teeth loose and bruised up his gums. Poor guy! This picture was taken the next morning and it looked alot better, believe it or not!

I just had to share, I found a new site by surfing my other friends blogs:) This blog was made by a lady that made a new years resolution to use her Crockpot everyday for a year in 2008 and she did it! You can find her recipes at http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/ There is every possible recipe you can images...even making yogurt! Now, that is amazing! Just thought I would share:) Just go to the left side on the blog and you will find them categorized for you:) Have fun!!
