We played against another 12u team that was also undefeated, but our girl beat them by one point, and man was it a great game. I also stay on on my toes during the games getting nervous for the girls to win.. I will keep you posted on our games, we have 4 more game left then they will take November thru March off till the new season starts.

Softball tournament..

My daughter had the State tournament for her allstar softball team over the July 24th weekend, and wow what a great weekend it was. We stayed in a hotel with the other coaches and hung out with the whole team the whole weekend. I had some great friends come out and support Baylee (Thanks Stacey and Bart) you guys really are amazing friends.

My daughter's team named the Suicide Babes took 3rd place which is so awesome for all of them. They got the cutest trophy ever and everyone of the girls and coaches were so excited to have even taken 3rd place.

Baylee's dad is one of the assistant coaches so it made it extra fun for her and myself to watch. He did an amazing job keeping the girls on there toes to get them this far.

We have our final tournament this weekend for the West Valley Classic, so I hope we can take names and place for OUR city. Good luck to the Suicide Babes.

Summer Fun

This Summer has been a very busy one. Baylee made the Allstar team again this year for softball and after a good season and taking 2nd place we now practice Monday through Friday from 6:30 till 9:00 every night. We have watched her play 4 tournaments so far and they took 2nd place in the national championships which was so exciting for her and her team, The Suicide Babe is their name.

We took a family vacation to Jackson Hole with some good friends, and went boating at a lake, canoing for the first time ever, and took a ride down the Alpine slide. If you love the country and mountains then Jackson Hole is well worth the trip to get away from life. My kids got to see so many deer and elk, as well as a mother moose and her baby.

Over Memorial weekend I got to take a fabulous trip to San Diego California with 13 other girls for a bachelorette party, and wow was it is party weekend for sure. We rented beach cruiser bikes on Coronado Island and rode all day long and I got to put my feet in beach sand for the first time ever in my life. We had an amazing 4 days partying like rock stars and feeling free to do whatever we all wanted.

I am going to be celebrating my 28th birthday coming up in August which is crazy because I feel like just yesterday I was graduating from high school and giving birth to my now 10 year old daughter. Man does time just fly by.

I hope you all are having a great Summer because I know we are!! I'll keep you updated on how Baylee does in her softball tournaments.

Just an update.

Well so far we are having a great 2009, we are both loving our new jobs that we each started towards the end of 2008. I have planned to go to San Diego with 12 other girlfriends for our friend Ashlee's bachelorette party. We are going memorial weekend and we are going to have a blast. I have never seen the ocean before and I cannot wait to either.

We got Baylee all signed up for Bonnettball and we find out March 9th who her coach will be and what girls are on her team. Baylee is so excited she can't stand it. I love this time of year because watching Baylee play softball is one of the best things for me.

We decided since Alex will be 5 this summer, we want to start him with a sport, and decided to get him a Bow so we can put him in Archery league and hope he enjoys it, if he doesn't then we will try baseball. Either way we would love Alex to find a sport he can love as much as Baylee does her softball.

Well some of you might know I have been a smoker pretty much my whole life. I started smoking cigarettes when I was in 8th grade when I was 12 and I only quit when I was pregnant all 3 times, then I started right back up again. One day a few weekes ago I decided I really want to get fit and more healthy so I promised Baylee I would stop smoking cigarettes before softball starts for her. Well today makes day 13 that I have not had a cigarette at all, I quit cold turkey and it has been kindof hard but I feel so much better, also I go to the gym twice a week and do a weight program 3 times a week at home. I also have been eating so much better too, alot more live foods and got rid of all the soda, coffee and candies that I would always eat. I am so proud that I was able to quit smoking.

I also got a new car after drivng a 2002 Ford Tourus for the last 4 1/2 years. I got a 2005 Dodge Magnum, that is a forest green color with cream leather interior, it is so pretty, and Baylee just loves it because Magnums and Chrystler 300 are her favorite cars.

Well I will keep you all updated on my smoking..

Good times

We had a great Christmas!! The kids got everything they asked for except cell phones, because we still think they are both to young to have them.

The kids spent the night with there Aunt Shirley for New Years while Fred and I went to Wendover with ou friends. WOW did we have a blast, I only gambled 30.00 so I felt good knowing I didn't lose that much, and Fred, well he wasn't so lucky he lost 200.00 in the first 3 hours, then won 30.00 back the next morning. LOL

But we had a great time with good friends who we love dearly..

Last Sunday my dog Ref broke his toe (yes they are called toe's) so we had to go get it put in a slpint and he had to wear a neck brace to help prevent him from chewing the splint off... Well if you know our Ref he will find a way. When we came home from work on Wednesday we found his neeck brace torn into peices everywhere and when we came home from Wendove her chewed off his splint.. AHHH dumb dog doesn't realize he needs that to support his break. So Fred took him back to the Vet today and we had no choice but to get a hard cast for him.. Let's see how long this will last. We did spray it like crazy with that yucky tasting dog stuff so he won't chew on it... Let's hope anyways.

Well to sum things up what wild and crazy 2008 but I am blessed with all the love We have from our family and friends who continue to support us through everything we do. I love you all..
