Where do I begin?

It's been so hectic here that I'm not sure where to start!

I can say that Courtney is officially done with Fall Softball. They had their final doubler header last night and tied their first game but lost their 2nd one. I'm so proud of all the girls - they work well as a team and that's what it is all about. Their end of the season team party is next Saturday afternoon.

Both the kids are sick. Actually CJ is getting over his cold but Courtney can't shake her stomach ache so we'll be heading to the dr's shortly. She hasn't eaten much in 3 days and is extremely tired. I know the move doesn't help but we are getting her looked at.

As far as the apartment goes - Jason is finishing up today - the last few items and then cleaning. We'll be turning in the keys and everything today. Which reminds me, I have to get the addy changed with the post office.

We've had 3 plumbing issues since being here but all is taken care of. In the end of all the plumbing issues, the whole problem - the landscaper knicked one of our outside pipes whenall going over it with the tractor so now we have a small trench in our backyard but all is good :o)

Jason's mom has been here and a huge help with everything. She has organized a lot of things here and has brought some great ideas from her visit with Joe and Teri to share with us here. So thank you Teri for all the ideas too!! We used the pantry drawer idea for snacks and going to definitely use the metal shelving idea for the tubs in the garage.

Ok...it's off to take Courtney to see the Dr. You all know it's bad when she doesn't go to school because it hurts that bad and she is uncomfortable. She NEVER wants to miss school.

Today is the day!!

I can't believe it - we have our final walkthrough this morning at 9am and then close on our house at 11am! Hopefully everything is completed and the closing will be on schedule. If not, we'll try and close tomorrow instead if we are not happy with what is not completed (but hopefully everything is).

Courtney had a softball game both Sunday afternoon and last night. She did awesome!!! Unfortunately they lost the one of Sunday but won last night which was huge since they went up against a good team. In last night's game, Courtney made a triple and then a single!! It's the team's 15th game but only Courtney's 4th! I'm so proud of her :o) There is only 4 games left for Fall ball but she is all ready to head into Spring Softball :o) She has found something she really enjoys.

CJ enjoys going to Courtney's softball coach's house. So we spent yesterday afternoon there (about 2 hours) even though I didn't have to do the walkthrough at 1pm. I can see me spending time there with him during the next several months.

I feel really bad about forgetting something until yesterday when I was paying attention to dates so....HAPPY 7th ANNIVERSARY MARTI AND JAMES!! I hope you had a wonderful day and here's to many more years!

OK....off to finish getting ready to go to our final walkthrough and closing :o) Wish us luck!

Wow!!!

I still can't believe my baby turned 4 yesterday!! CJ did have a wonderful day and spent the evening at the ball field watching Courtney play softball for the first time without a cast on!! We took cupcakes for the whole team and siblings plus coaches last night. The girls were thrilled. We had to do something special for him since his birthday fell on a Tuesday which includes both Brownies and softball game.

My main computer monitor is acting up and I need to get either a new digital cord or a new video card. So if you have IM'ed me, I am not ignoring you - I just can't get it. I had left my computer to do something and the next thing I know, the monitor is off (in sleep mode) and I can't get anything. My email was still open and haven't been able to get some ecards I know were sent to CJ. Thank goodness Jason got me this laptop or I would be lost!! I don't even have everyone's email to email them to let them know. I turned off my computer and now can get recent emails sent to me via the internet access to my email account.

Anyways, today is shopping for either the cable or card and then fixing my monitor along with finishing up getting ready for my scrapping retreat this weekend. Oh and don't forget, packing too is in there...LOL

It's Monday!!!

Yes you can hear excitement in my voice when writing 'It's Monday!!!' Not everyone's typical reaction to a Monday but it's a BIG day here!! Courtney is getting her cast off this afternoon :o) Jumping up and down with her!!!

Let me share what has been going on here. Courtney's softball team joined the Homecoming parade that was Friday early afternoon so I was voted to help with that small float. Let me just say the girls had a blast!!
If you click on the pictures, you can see it enlarged. You can see our softballs with names (Courtney's isn't like the rest since the mom who made them only had a batting lineup for it and of course, Courtney isn't batting yet). Courtney was fine with it and enjoyed one on there no matter how it was looking! We painted 2 pink rockets (their team name is Moody Pink Rockets) on black butcher paper and on the end of the trailer. CJ was actually in the Tahoe riding and having a good time!

Then Friday night we went to the high school homecoming game since Courtney's friend Ashley was raising the American Flag. It was neat to watch.

Saturday brought another busy day...a birthday party for a Brownie friend and then going to watch Ashley cheer at the 95lb. football game. They also had a small homecoming celebration which she was presented at half time.

After the game, we celebrated CJ's birthday with Ashley's family. CJ had to have another CARS related birthday. Thankfully, Walmart has come out with another type of CARS cake. He picked the cupcake cake! I still can't believe my baby will be 4 tomorrow!! These years are just flying by!

Then Sunday brought us looking at the house again and we have carpet and lights in the basement!!! I forgot my camera so no pictures but I'm sure we'll be there again this week and I will definitely take it.

Another Sunday event - a softball game. Courtney got to play!! Yep, you read that right - she played with cast! The other team didn't have enough players and decided to use a few girls from the 10 and under team which meant an automatic win for us! All coaches decided to make it a practice game and Courtney was able to play!! That made her day!! She even hit the ball at her first bat and got on base! She eventually got out at 3rd but she did awesome!! Wish I had my camera but I didn't.

All this leads us to today - CAST OFF!!!! Hopefully the dr. will give us extremely good news and maybe she'll play tomorrow night but if not, she'll be playing soon!!!

Hope everyone has a wonderful week! I'm hoping to post more but with the scrapbooking retreat I'm attending this weekend and hosting - I need to get ready!
