Ok well things have been kinda quiet around here so I will take this time to post once again... I get off kilter when I'm running all the time...hehe!

Right now Ryan and Beka are visiting thier dad until July 17th and Josh got a new job driving for Swift ( semi pic below a few) so it's just me and the dogs and cats at home... so far the quietness has been ok though I haven't really had all that much... up until the end of softball we were running everyday, then I put the kids on the train on June 25th to see thier dad for 3 weeks , had one week to myself to get my house back in order ( yeah it kinda got a lil messy around here for the month of June..lol) and Josh was back home this week (Monday to Friday) he just left for the open road again yesterday so I have one week of quiet before the kids get back home... I will be working for Natapoc though but it should still be a mellow week... awwwwww! The kids are home until July 30th and then Josh is back for about a week... so really it hasn't been that bad!

Summer is finally here and my flowers are bloomin', I've been trying to green up the property with a whole lot of watering... I am thinking about throwing some wild flower seeds out in an area that is just trees and a big rock ... wonder if they would come up this year? Today I picked 7 cherry tomatoes off my plant on the porch for my salad later.... yum!

Just thought I better post up so you all could stop wondering whats been up around here...hehe! Love and hugs to everyone... Peace ~ G

Softball

Sorry pics are a lil dark for trophy it was pouring down rain and my flash didn't work! :(

I guess it's been a while since I've posted~ sorry life has been busy! For starters Beka finished softball season which had us running about 5 days a week to games and practices. Last year her team lost every game except one and came in last place~ things sure turned around this year though, this year they won all thier season games except one and came in first place for the season! The final tournament was June 23rd and 24th for the final trophy ~ going in they were first place and a team to be reckoned with, they played one game on Saturday and won~ Grandpa Bob and Grandma Penny and Aunt Jeannie all drove over to watch her play ( she enjoyed that) Ryan even went, but surprisingly big brother went to quite a few of her games this year! So back to finish the tournament on Sunday after Saturdays win~ First game Sunday they lost by 1 point but they sure played thier lil tails off, 2nd game they won by 4 , 3rd game win again, and final game which is to see who takes home 1st place got rained out halfway through and they were behind by 3 at the time so the trophy went to the other team but our girls still took home a HUGE 2nd place trophy and didn't seem down, they played thier butts off on Sunday and Beka ended up with a pretty darn good raspberry on her leg from sliding into home plate it was a close call but she was called "SAFE"!!! I guess the raspberry was worth it...hehe!
