Time.... sure flies when all ya do is work and sleep!

 We installed a new privacy fence. We replaced a 4 ft. with a 6 foot because the neighbor guy to the south was always hanging out in his driveway when we were out on the deck. Then we added fence to the North to provide privacy from those neighbors so we can enjoy our deck more often! It has been great!

 

Alexis turned the big 9, on July 17! We had some friends over and thena family party on Sun. to celebrate her and Logan's birthdays! Logan is now a TEENAGER!

 

Ginger and I made breakfast for the residents this morning. It smelled really good! I'm going to have to make it here at home!

 

I worked NC PRN Fri. 8am to 1:30pm. Lots of heavy care residents... made me remember why I moved on... ten I worked Sat. 10pm - 6am in HWH with a nurse from Boone. We had a pretty good night. We talked a lot about people we mutually knew. LOL!

 

I went to Homemakers a few weeks ago to look at sofas. Found one I loved, but it was expensive so I looked around and Redeker's and the American Store and couldn't find anything that compared, so I went back yesterday and bought this sofa. It is huge and won't be delivered until Aug. 1. I can't wait. I'm nervous that Jason will hate it but... oh well. Elainie and Alexis went with me and they absolutely LOVE it!  And I'm sure John will also. It is so comfortable... perfect for a FAMILY ROOM! I will have to rearrange furniture but that's okay with me.

 

Just think - the kids will be back in school in one month! I can't wait, but only because, I will be able to get back to my proper sleeping pattern then. Yeay! I'm so tired of being... TIRED!

 

All 4 now!

I got several invites to join MySpace and so I finally joined it.

My MySpace is pretty boring and probably won't have too much on it but you're welcome to visit it and leave me a message:

 

 

 

Enjoy!

I went to Marshalltown  to watch the Freshmen Girls play two games and then I brought Elainie, Emily, Sierra, and Emma to Ames for the McMaken tournament where Elainie, Emily, and Sierra played for Boone Thunder vs. Emma playing on Ames Cyclones.

 

Boone Thunder lost their first game Fri. July 6, to Ames Cyclones Orange.

It wasn't too bad of a game though. They were all real nervous the first inning where Ames scored 3 runs.

Ames then scored 1 run in the second inning and so did Boone. The rest of the game was scoreless. There were some really good plays by both sides. But the most important thing was that Boone girls were smiling and having FUN the entire game. No one got down on anyone else. And everyone praised the good that the team did. Great start for this new team!

 

They have very hard games ahead of them tonight. So, I wish them the best of luck!

The last few weeks have moved fast. ..

The LL Royals had their team party at Seeman's. The girls had a blast with a big water balloon fight and water coolers full of water. Plus they decorated Ashley's car with saran wrap and sticky notes.

When the party died down for that and some people left, a new meeting began. Which brought about the announcement of building a new ASA 14U team. Boone Thunder was born.

There was a team meeting once it was established that there was enough interest.  At the meeting the girls changed the name to Boone Thunder & Lightning. Kris took sizes and numbers for shirts. Those are ordered and we are awaiting them to come in.

The families picked tournaments that they want to go to, but nothing is written in stone yet, except the Harry McMaken Ames Tournament July 6 - 8, 2007. The first practice went well, looks like a great group of  11 girls! They all had so much FUN and that is what we are stressing that this team is about... having FUN! So what if we lose a game. As long as the girls had fun playing and take a learning experience away from each game, then the day was a success.  There will not be anyone who has a down beat attitude, nor will they say rude comments to or about the other players on the team. FUN! That's what THIS TEAM is all about!

 

 

Good Luck at McMaken in Ames!!!!
