Game 3

Game Three of the Tournament arrived to the tune of 105 degrees. Thankfully the girls played on field one so there was plenty of shade and it didn't even feel that hot. Of course they were all in the sun so they might not share that opinion.

Jess is playing outfield. The enemy has a couple of really good hitters, but no one as good as ours.

Maddie on 2nd base getting ready to run for it.


Jess is one behind her running from first to second. Go Jess Go. Faster, Faster.





And when it was all said and done the other team won by one point. So the girls are giving them a shout out.

Go Express!!!

Good Game, Good Game!!!!!!!!!

Au revoir 2011 Softball Season.

O How I Wish It Were Fall

Summer is not my favorite season and already I am longing for the days when fall gets here and the trees become beautiful again. Fall mean football begins, school begins, my favorite holidays begin and comfy, cozy sweaters can be worn all day. All the best things happen in fall.

I wish I could fly north for the winter and escape this disgusting 105 degree weather.

Bleach Blond

Little known fact...once upon a time I let Mike bleach my hair. The front has bleached strips as well as more huge chunks throughout. Of course it was nothing compared to Mike's bleached hair. His actually doesn't look half bad. Mine however was a disaster. (I'm way to pale to pull that off) and it ended with a trip to the salon where Faye fixed it. It is the only time I've ever had my hair bleached and unless a really profitable dare comes my way will most likely be the last.

And strangely enough this is only one of about ten pictures of the three of us together. Yikes!

Happy Father's Day!!

Happy Father's Day to my dad....

To my Father-in-Law

and to my Husband....


and all the other dads I know!!!!

Back in Time

Well thanks to Amy and Shannon I have not only updated my blog (three times as requested) but I have also learned all kinds of fun things that can be done that I never knew about! Exciting stuff.

So since Miss Amy Lee demanded (haha) three posts by Monday I decided to travel back in time and give you all a good laugh.

Wait for it....




And....

Is there anything worse than eighties glasses, pink eyelet lace and mom given haircuts? Hmm, I'm sure there are but still these rate right up there!!

Tournament Time

Beginning of Tournament Week. Game 1. The girls are warming up getting ready to go out there and play ball. Good luck Hot Rods!!

In between catches Jess smiles for the camera...never one to miss a photo op.

Madison and Jess get their arms warm by playing catch.

All set to start this game. Madison is in the ready position at third. Jess is ready at 1st and all the other girls are ready somewhere on the field.

Chillin' in the dugout waiting for their turn. Definitely the Hot Rods two hardest hitters. Look out Express these girly girls don't mess around!


Jess is up to bat. She swung hard and it was a line drive out past second. (Is there such a thing in the 9-10 league? Who knows but it sounded good.)




Made it to first now just need three more bases to score a run. Go Jess Go!

Water Wars

On Wednesday we had some fun in the sun. Trying to stay cool in the 95 degree weather, we broke out the water balloons and sprinkler. It was nice and refreshing. Nanny and Jessa are playing some catch. Nanny tried and tried to break one on Jess but they just kept bouncing right off of her. Nanny took quite a few bullets though.

Jess getting ready to "lob" one at Nanny. Look out Nanny!

Retaliation is sweet! Jessica better watch out because Nanny is gunning for her!
