Take me out to the BALLGAME

This past weekend we had an adventure with Janieces family. The kids had ball tournaments in Montperlier and Sada Springs so we took the trailer and parked it at Mont. then commuted to and fro to Soda. It was so much fun to watch the kids play so hard and try there best. Shelby is the oldest on her team and she tries so hard to get the girls going. She is an awesome player and quite a dare devil on stealing the bases. She slides like a pro and tries to get the girls to throw it back to the base and then she goes for the nest base. Both games on thursday she was scoring just that way. The fields were not taken very good care of and they had not even worked up the field so the gravel that was on the in field was like cement. Needless to say Shelby got some good scraps on her elbows and her knees. They won two games and they looked pretty good. Shaylie has improved so much this year. She has been trying to get the coach to let her play in field because that is more action. Well he finally gave her a chance and boy did she prove herself. She played awesome. They put her on first and I was very nervous for her but she proved to us all she can do it and she loved it. She even got a double play. Then she really smacked the ball good. Over all the girls didn't do as good as they would have liked to, but I could really see that they were proveing to themselves that they are improveing. That is what it is all about, just keep trying to get better. Mick, we only got to see him play one game and they ended up going into overtime and there team won. They are just starting and they have a lot to learn, but from the first of the year to now, I can see a whole lot of improveing. Mick is a very good player and backs things up so good. He gets to pitch and he does a great job doing that too. I hope next time I can see some more of Micks. Well that was all about the games, now about the fun we had in the trailer. We had 7 sleeping and so it was wall to wall people and we had a ball the kids played night games, and laughed and giggled a lot. I love to just watch the kids and how they are growing up. We took Isaac with us he didn't have a game and he wanted to just give his support. He went with Mick to his game and there was a compitetion on throwing the baseball. He won a new ball bag it was really cool. He has a good arm and great aim. After saturday morning both teams lost, so that put us out. We decided to go by Lava on the way home and let the kids swim. WoW you wouldn't have believed how many people were there at the pool. we went anyway and it was fun. Sometimes you just have to join right in and not worry about all the crowd. They just want to have the same fun that we do.....I really love my family and love that we can spend time together and I thank them from the bottom of my heart that they let me join in with them in having fun. Thank you Thank you for the good time!!!!!!!!!! Oh yes and I almost forgot Jim went with us. We made it sound like we really couldn't do it with out his help and it worked. It was fun to have him see the kids play and he had some good advice for them. Just play for yourself and do your best. Don't worry what the others are doing as long as you work on improveing you that is all that matters. However he got really worried about his lawn and couldn't wait to get back to it, to get it watered. He does such a good job with his grass and has a lot of pride in how it looks. I guess you can't have everything. That is what it takes to have a nice lawn is be there to water it. We had a great ballgame weekend and we are looking forward to the next one. Remember kids we are so proud of you and as long as you are trying your hardest it will be fun!!!!!!
