September 03 The WeekendThis Labor Day weekend is not one to relax. LOL!
We went to Grinnell Friday night for a softball tournament that lasted through Sunday.
It was a lot of fun ad we got to see a lot of really good teams playing very well.
We played and watched a lot of nail biting close games!
Boone had three teams go this year. The STORMERS, the Thunder and the Bombers.
The Stormers and Thunder had to play four games before they got into bracket play. The Bombers only had to play three because there were less teams in their pools. The Stormers won one game in their pool but then lost in bracket play. The Bombers didn't win any games in pool play but ended up winning in bracket play. The Thunder just went and had a wonderfully fun time. I think all the girls had lots of fun and learned a lot.
Today is Labor Day Monday. Just lounge around day until Elainie has volley ball practice at 3:00pm then Alexis has gymnastics at 6:00pm.
Lucky me I had last night and have tonight off for a holiday But then it's back to work a regular work schedule! In October I finally will earn my one week of vacation time! Yeay! I can't wait!
I gotta run for now... later! August 19 Alexis - Yeay!Alexis is all excited to start back to Gymnastics tommorrow!
She will be going going three days per week as a Level 4 in Progression to Competitive Gymnastics.
So, she will be learning more polish on what she already knows and she will be learning more things also.
Otherwise she would go two days per week for Level 4. She will not be competing, she will just be learning improvements for the possibilty to compete down the road. She is looking forward to going back!
Good Luck Alexis! August 18 Boone Stormers Boone Stormers played a scrimmage Thurs. evening with the Boone Thunder team.

Go Thunder! August 11 In Softball and other News...In SOFTBALL news...
Elainie and the Boone Stormers 14U team has been practicing HARD!
The Labor Day Tournament in Grinnell isn't that far away!
The assistant coach has been so hard on the team that one girl quit. Elainie was a little piffed at first too, but everything got handled and all is going well now. We picked up another girl to replace the one that quit so we still have enough girls! Yeay!
On Thurs. evening the Stormers will be scrimmaging against the Boone Thunder & Lightening 14U team of which Elainie was a big part of earlier this summer. Thunder will also be attending the tournament in Grinnell over Labor Day weekend. And so possibly will be the Boone Bombers 14U team. So, we are hoping, with all the Boone girls there, that everyone has a lot of FUN!!!!!!!
We will be rooting for and supporting all Boone teams!
Go BOONE Softball Teams!!!!!
In other News...
1.) I've added a new photo album for Alexis' most current gymnastics pics!
2.) I will soon be editing the photo albums from this site.
I need to verify that I have the photos somewhere on my computer so that I can print them and then I will delete them.
So, there won't be as much to look through. Yeay!
August 09 SandsTWO FRIENDS WERE WALKING THROUGH THE DESERT. DURING SOME POINT OF THE JOURNEY, THEY HAD AN ARGUMENT; AND ONE FRIEND SLAPPED THE OTHER ONE IN THE FACE. THE ONE WHO GOT SLAPPED WAS HURT, BUT WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING, WROTE IN THE SAND: TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE. THEY KEPT ON WALKING, UNTIL THEY FOUND AN OASIS, WHERE THEY DECIDED TO TAKE A BATH THE ONE ; WHO HAD BEEN SLAPPED GOT STUCK IN THE MIRE AND STARTED DROWNING, BUT THE FRIEND SAVED HIM. AFTER HE RECOVERED FROM THE NEAR DROWNING, HE WROTE ON A STONE: "TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE ". THE FRIEND WHO HAD SLAPPED AND SAVED HIS BEST FRIEND ASKED HIM, "AFTER I HURT YOU, YOU WROTE IN THE SAND AND NOW, YOU WRITE ON A STONE, WHY?" THE FRIEND REPLIED "WHEN SOMEONE HURTS US WE SHOULD WRITE IT DOWN IN SAND, WHERE WINDS OF FORGIVENESS CAN ERASE IT AWAY. BUT, WHEN SOMEONE DOES SOMETHING GOOD FOR US, WE MUST ENGRAVE IT IN STONE WHERE NO WIND CAN EVER ERASE IT." LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE. THEY SAY IT TAKES A MINUTE TO FIND A SPECIAL PERSON, AN HOUR TO APPRECIATE THEM, A DAY TO LOVE THEM, BUT THEN AN ENTIRE LIFE TO FORGET THEM. SEND ; TH IS PHRASE TO THE PEOPLE YOU'LL NEVER FORGET. I JUST DID. IF YOU DON'T SEND IT TO ANYONE, IT MEANS YOU'RE IN A HURRY AND THAT YOU'VE FORGOTTEN YOUR FRIENDS. TAKE THE TIME TO LIVE! DO NOT VALUE THE THINGS YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE, BUT VALUE WHO YOU HAVE IN YOUR L IFE ! August 04 Family RoomI FOUND the couch that I have been searching for! It is HUGE! I found it at Home Makers!
It was delivered Aug. 1st and the kids absolutely LOVE it!
I also picked up a new TV cart for the TV at Redeker's. It sure is an improvement over the old end tables the old TV sat on!
In amazing comfort, we watched the movie Premonition the other night. Awesome!
Here are some pics: July 24 StuffTime.... 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! |
