T-ball Practice

T-ball for Blake started just a couple weeks ago. He's on a new team with all new coaches & all new players. I was a little disappointed about that but it's ok. He's doing really well already. He's wearing his Red's hat from last year. Hopefully we get the uniform stuff before Opening Day & pictures!! Oh, I'm sure we will!! He's on the A's this year. Here's a couple of photos from the last practice & video. Oh, did I mention that there are a million mosquitoes at practice. What, with the wet weather & the stagnant water out on the field & all. Just gotta remember the repellent.

Here he is walking in from the outfield.
Waiting for his next turn to bat.

Here's a couple of videos of him batting!!!

Just Messing Around

I l♥ve doing this kind of stuff. It's too much fun.........(at least for me :)


Page 56 of the nearest book...
Rules:
* Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
* Turn to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post that sentence along with these instructions in a note to your wall.
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.
* Now you do it!


"Nephi taught us to "feast upon the words of Christ" (2Nephi 32:3), and this activity is certainly not intended to suggest that a feast is not in order."
Since my computer is at the desk, I have a few "churchy" books nearby. I swear I did NOT go searching for this book. I still haven't even read all the way through this book. Funny!! It's fun. Go do it.

Side note: After reading the instructions again, I believe this was found on Facebook, hence post on your wall.......LOL!!!

So, my friend Summer tagged me in her last post. You are supposed to go to your 6th folder & then post the 6th picture. So, here it is.............

Spiders....ewwwww!!

So, Brad & I have cooked a couple of dinners together this last week. It's actually been kinda fun. I'm definitely a follow the recipe kind of cook & he's the adventurous cook, always adding things to make it to his standards. So, he usually doesn't like what I cook because it never has any flavor but at least I try. He's the one that does most of the dinner cooking & he's had me help him the past couple of times. So last night as I'm slicing mushrooms I keep seeing something to the left of me, the whole time just thinking it's a renegade hair of mine (because I have hair all over the place according to Brad). So the next time I look, I see legs, not just skinny legs, but the long dark black legs that belong to Black Widows!!! I screamed or yelled or something & jumped back & Brad came running into the kitchen cuz he thought I cut myself. I showed it to him & he jumped back too. You see, he's more afraid of spiders than I am. heehee. So, together we got rid of it. I got him the flyswatter & he killed it. Man, oh man. It was creepy. You see, spiders are not my most favorite but they don't scare me scare me unless they sneak up on me like this lovely Black Widow did. I'm usually the one killing them & I do get a little jumpy if they crawl down their web in front of my face or something. After it was dead I was a little jumpy & then I was so glad it was me that saw it because it could've caused some real damage to one of the kids or the cats. I haven't seen any more today & hopefully I won't. They tend to be outside when I see them. Whew!!! Hope this never happens to you!!

Valentine's Day Fun

Well, Sarah & I didn't go jogging on Saturday morning. Oh well, instead Brad & I made blueberry pancakes for our breakfast. They were so good!! I got Brad the new Snow Patrol cd & he got me an electric blanket. I know it might sound funny but I am so cold all the time & we've used it a lot. Then we decided that we would go & see the movie "Coraline" with the kids. I really liked it & Blake did well, except he has had some bad dreams & Sonny, well, he's not the best at the movies but he did finally fall asleep. Of course I was happy with my Giant Cherry Coke & Large popcorn. I know, I talk about losing weight & I totally fall down @ the movies. Oh well. After the movie we went to Ruby Tuesday for lunch (we had a gift card)! It was good & I have to say that this was the 1st time I've been there that I haven't just lost my mind. I don't know what it is but do you think they could've squeezed any more tables into a tinier space. What the heck. Not my favorite place to take the kids. Not very kid friendly & I hate their square & rectangle dishes. The food is good but I hate taking the kids there. Oh well, the hamburger was really good. After that we came home & spent the rest of the day together. I had a nice day & I'm glad we didn't go crazy trying to do stuff. Thanks to my husband, whom I l♥ve very much, we had a very nice day♥♥
