All Stars and Stuff!

Look at me, posting twice in ONE month....actually I am going to TRY to do better at this.


Our regular baseball/softball seasons have ended, and none of the kids were ready. They still want to play, I guess they didn't get there fix.
Lets see, Sam, Caleb and Josh were all nominated to represent there team with 2 other team mates in the all star draft. Sam's team finished 2nd they were 10-2 all season...these girls were fantastic. Anyway, due to some political B.S. and adult drama, our coach had to take a team "B" in order for our girls to get to play all stars. In my world a second place team DESERVES a place on the "A" team... And he could only take 3 girls, his daughter, and two others....I think all the other coaches don't want to be shown how to play REAL ball by our girls...It's sad that GROWN men are denying these girls (10 & 11 year olds) to play softball....that's all these girls want to do, and they don't really care what team they play on....anyways....can you sense the frustration? So as of right now, Sam isn't playing - she still has a chance if someone backs out. I am however COMPLETELY proud of her. This is her first season to play and has come so far. Being nominated is a great achievement!

Josh and Caleb tried out last Friday, and we won't know if they made it until after the coach's meeting on Saturday. Lets hope that baseball is being handled different from softball....and they draft based on skills....not politics!

Anyway, off of that subject! It's gets me all fired up! I went and meet baby Hayden yesterday (Becky's new little baby) he had his jaw surgery on Friday and he looks awesome....it turns my stomach to think about that this little boy has been through in his short two weeks of life (two weeks ago today he was born). Just know that I fell in love with him instantly yesterday and I haven't even gotten to hold him or touch him. Becky and I have been friends since 2nd grade and she has amazed me with how well she has handled all these obstacles Hayden has gone through. Hopefully he will get the respirator and stuff out the begining of next week, and he can work towards getting to go home with his mommy and daddy! Here are some pics of Hayden and his momma!








School will be out next week - The kids are ready! I am just not sure if I am!!!

Yes I know - it's been FOREVER.

I am not so good at keeping up with this. Seems like we are always on the go go go! oh and my work computer crashed with ALL my pics on it, so there will not be many pics on this post either - sorry!

We are wrapping up the end of the baseball season, and wow - it has been a long one. So far Josh & Caleb were picked for All Stars, but Tori didn't want Josh to play, so he isn't - but I think it would be a good experience for Caleb, he would probably learn a whole lot! I just have to talk his daddy into it. Sam is doing amazing in Softball, this is her first year and I had to BEG her to play (I knew that she had talent). At first her confidence level was low, but she has slowly built it up, and she catching the two fastest pitchers....and doing great. Josh plays catcher, Sam plays catcher and now Caleb is really showing interest in catching.....so looks like I will have 3 catchers...that's ok though...I am just glad that they are into sports!! I found some pictures on a CD....

Ok lets see, what else! My best friend Becky had her sweet little boy on May 14th, he is the cutest thing, and I haven't been able to meet him yet. He has been at Cook's undergoing some tests, and I can't wait until I can meet the little guy.....



Keep him in your prayers while Becky, Joe and Hayden overcome this obstacle. He truly is a fighter :)


Just a couple more weeks of school, and I am not sure if I am ready for the summer....I am ready for the no homework, and stuff - just the extra cost to my pocket book isn't fun! I would much rather find other stuff to spend that money on
:)

This post has been long enough....I am going to leave with a picture of my brother Kyle's sweet kids....they are so cute!



Gavin, Channing and Jackson Low!
