Silly String madness

Sorry it's taken so long for me to blog since last time. Things have been crazy at work, ball season has still been going on, and we just stay so busy. But here I am! And here is a video of Brody's ball team spraying their coaches with Silly String. The kids enjoyed, and I think the coaches did also. They had their ball party at the minor league ball game, and they really enjoyed it!


Here's the team ready to get their coaches!


Here they are ready to run on the field!


Brody and his best friend Ryan talking ball with Reece.



I was so proud of Brody for taking his hat off during the national anthem!

Someone please tell me....

that my child is not the only one who has to roll her eyes at me? Parents, do your children roll their eyes at you? She's TWO for crying out loud!

Prayers needed

I know I've mentioned little Sully before on my blog. His leukemia seems to be coming back, so he and his family need your urgent and contstant prayers. What a heartbreaking thought to know this little 13 month old is in the fight for his life! Please pray that God's will be done!

And say a prayer for Matthew Wiese also. He's still in a coma, and in the fight for his life also. God has used this sweet boy in so many ways, and I just wish He would waken him to prove even more miracles! I know his family is so thankful to still have him, but how heartbreaking it must be at the same time. They are genuinely sweet and faithful people, but they still need your prayers.

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!!!

YEA! The Tigers did it! We won the county tournament championship! First, let me say how proud I am of the way our team handled everything! And I mean everything!

We were sailing along in the tournament in the winner's bracket, with two games to play on Friday night. We won the first game easily, which would then pit us against the second best team in the county. Well, there is no better way to say it than they beat the crap out of our team. We couldn't catch a ball, stop a ball, hit the ball, nothing...they simply outplayed us. Kudos to West for a game well played. That was our first loss of the season, and that of course threw us into the loser's bracket. We were scheduled to play one game on Saturday. We get there and lo and behold the tournament was running behind. Which I might add, this was the most unorganized event I have ever been to. So we sit there for 2 hours waiting to play. And the team we are supposed to play has decided they don't want to play a 3rd game that day, they want to wait until Monday night. So we have all gathered at the park for no reason, a waste of two hours. Fast forward to Monday night, and we play that team and beat them soundly. I mean bad. Which brings us back to the team that handed us our only loss of the season. We must beat them twice to win the tournament. I must throw in at this point that I am in Virginia on travel at the time, so I don't get to see any game on Monday. Our team plays their hearts out and whips that West team by double digits. They played the way they should have on Friday night. After that game, our coaches have to make a decision....do you play a 3rd game or wait until Tuesday night to play the final? Our coaches made a wise decision....our boys and girls are on a roll, so play ball! No need to waste time and another $2 to get into the park. The West team gave them a hard time the first couple of innings, but then the Tigers pulled away and beat them badly again. GOOOOO TIGERS!!!!!!!! The 2008 5&6 year old County Champs!!! We are so proud of these kids! They played awesome all year!

What's the point?

Why do celebrities get married? I mean seriously, how many celebrity couples make it? Take for instance Rene Zellwegger and Kenny Chesney. They were married in May of 2005 or 2006, and when I heard the news, I instantly said "I give it 6 months". It lasted 4. By September, they called it quits. Why do any of them bother to go through the whole process? None of them are going in to it for the marriage, they only want the wedding. The same could be said for us "normal" folks, but it's mostly true for the celebrities. And how many times does Liz Taylor have to be married? She's making a mockery out of it. And Charlie Sheen? If some of these people would put the same amount of time into a project or charity that actually meant something, they might do a little good. Oh well...

Still in it....

Walker's baseball team is still in the hunt for the county tournament championship trophy. The first couple of games they played were really good, good hitting and good defense. But Tuesday night, you would have thought they never stepped out on the field before. No one could field the ball, they were throwing it all over the field, not catching it.... Thankfully, the Tigers woke up and pulled away and beat the other team soundly. We play again Friday night, so I hope they decide to play the way they know how!

Go Tigers!!!!

BTW, Brody's team got put out on Tuesday night. They played their hearts out!

Bad Situation Diverted...

Now don't get me wrong, I am really sad for Brody's team because they lost their first game. But at the same time, am I ever thankful because we avoided that dreaded match-up with Walker's team. The Yankees played their little hearts out, but got beat by one run. Brody had 4 hits, and I was so excited for him. They play tonight against another Ardmore team that we SHOULD beat. I hope so!
Walker's team won big, as expected. He had 4 hits, including a home run. I hope this continues...

GO TIGERS and YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!!
