Creston

O.K. I know I'm going to sound like all I do is brag on my kids but isn't that supposed to be the job of the Mom? Creston had a game last night and coach threw him in to pitch the last 3 innings of the game. He faced 11 batters and struck out 8!!!! He also come alive at the bat...1 single, 1 double, 1 walk. Elizabeth, Kat and I were so excited.....the only bad part was Jord had a meeting at Mid west City and missed all the excitement. So, I had to play by play with him over the phone. It was a confidence boost for Creston....he's so laid back and I want him to be aggressive and own the mound. He's just not like that.....its probably a good thing he's not like his mother because he has more control/focus when things are stressful. Anyway, enough of that....good game and exciting to watch. Isacc also had a great game. All of our spirits were lifted yesterday with the news of Emma/Chad's new LOL. Ha!!! Kat got a kick out of his initials. What a cutie he is....we are waiting for more pictures whenever anyone gets time.

Time Away

It was the last day of the kid's spring break so we loaded up the car and headed for Dallas to spend the night. We got in town Friday morning and went straight to the Aquarium. It was really neat..you can view pic's on Kat's blog. Went shopping at North Park Mall...it's supposed to be one of the largest in the US. Spent to much money at Aeropostle for the kids, but it was fun and good prices too. Saturday was Jord's day and we went to the Arborateum, which was beautiful....again pic's on Kat's blog. We needed the time away with the kids. Our schedules are so crazy, we don't get enough family time with all four of us together in one place. Creston had a game last night. He got to pitch in the first game and did really well. We were having a wind storm and at times I thought Creston was going to blow away. Tough to pitch in those conditions but he did really well. They both have tournaments this weekend so Jord will be with Creston and I will be with Kat. Miss everyone. Be hunting for us a house.....it's only 2 months away!!!

Sleepless Mom

Were do I start....Creston and Kat both had games Friday night. Because I have to be at Kat's...Jord went to Creston's. So, here I am in the dugout and Jord calls telling me that Creston pitched for the first time and I missed it. Jord was so excited and happy for him. I was teary-eyed that I didn't get to watch him. (like I won't ever see him pitch-it must be mid life emotional blues or something) Anyway, Kat played the most amazing game Friday. We won 1-0. The only run scored was Kat stole home. Pretty exciting. We ended up winning the tournament which was a thrill because we were playing teams from all over the state. 6 games total and still going. Last night, Creston had a double header, so Jord and I both left work early and off to the ball game we went. Sugarman took the mound and Mom was a teary-eyed again. It's just hard to believe that our kids are looking so grown up. Time flies. All I could think of was my Dad, and how much he would've enjoyed watching Creston play. I was impressed with Creston....he was very calm, laid back, very consistent.....just needs to work on his speed. Overall, I think he has a lot of potential to be a good pitcher. Tonight, another game for Creston and another one on Friday. I will definately be ready for the weekend. No games.....a lot of laundry to catch up on and cleaning of the house but no games. I am going to try to bring the camera so I can blog some pictures....we took the camera to the tournament but I left the chip in the computer so we didn't get any pic's of Kat. Oh well....

Long Weekend

Very emotional and long weekend. Found out on Sunday that my car has an oil leak. So, dip into the moving savings to get my car repaired. I hope its not as bad as it sounds. I got home late last night from Etta's funeral. I went with Sis. Judy and Shelly. Jord had meetings and the kids had school activities so I went my myself. Not a good idea. It was a long, hard day with a lot of emotions. Jord and I were up late visiting....it's so good to come home after a day like that and just hug your husband and kids. We are anxiously waiting for May to come. We are all READY! Creston and Kat are full steam ahead with sports......our life is about to get really crazy. Hope everyone is doing good. Be looking for us a house.......
