Future Olympian

It was freezing cold, literally around 35 degrees but Amara and the "Mustangs" had their first softball game today. She's a natural! She hit the ball hard all three times she was up to bat. She played RF, first, third and shortstop and did fantastic at all of them. It was actually a softball jamboree and they play 4 innings or until they run out of time. Her first complete game is Tuesday. Today's score...15-6 Mustangs.

Fiddling

I'm fiddling with the layout and design of the blog a bit today...

Shortboard Conversion

Sully and I converted his shortboard to a dropdeck. After reading about it on a forum, I drilled some new holes to mount the trucks an bought a used set of longboarding wheels. You have to look close but the trucks are have been remounted near the ends of the board where the kicktails used to be. It's faster, smoother and lower to the ground. I still have to do the wheel cutouts but so far it's fantastic and he loves it.

Cousins

My kids have never had cousins close by. I know...... sad huh? My sister Chrissta has 4 kids in Texas, my sister Tara has 2 in Texas and now Eric's sister Tonya has a little girl in Oregon. We don't get to see her as often as we'd like but it's more often then we get to see the Texans.

Lily came to our house this last weekend with her mom and dad and we loved it! Amara wanted to be the second mother(surprise,surprise), Sully just wanted to snuggle her when he felt like it and Finn was not so sure at first. It took him a little bit and then as you can see from the pictures he warmed up to her. Auntie and Uncle just wanted to hug her and kiss her and play with her until she cried, then it's off to Mom she went. That's a new experience for me!

We loved every minute of their visit and hope it's not so long til we see them again!

Happy Birthday Eric!

Today Eric is 32. I couldn't imagine at 18 as a newlywed what our life would be like in our 30's. Now it's here and I can't believe how time has just flown by. It's a cool reality to have watched your husband grow up in front of you, Eric is amazing, he always has been. I am so proud of the man he has grown into. He is a fabulous dad and a great husband and we are all blessed to have him in our lives!
We had a fun little get together the other night for Eric and our friend Paul's joined birthday. We had dinner at Olive Garden and then back to their house for some good clean Guitar Hero. It was really fun!
Happy Birthday Eric! We Love YOU!
