Belated!

Sorry I'm late in wishing everyone a Blessed Easter! Things have been so crazy here that I finally had yesterday to relax with the kids (Jason had to work). It was nice to have a 'lazy' day and do nothing but play in the tournament area of Webkinz with Courtney :o) Her friend Lauren had a fever and their plans were postponed but hopefully she'll be fever free later today!

What's been going on besides softball here? Well...we finally got our pictures taken!!! We went last Tuesday to Portrait Innovations. Let me just say, OMG...they take some incredible pictures. We now have to find a few 10x13 frames since we got some of those free! I will have to get the family pictures ready to send out but not sure when I'll get to it.

Courtney did have a softball pre-season tournament last weekend - they played Friday, Saturday and Sunday and lost, won and lost. I was so proud of the team - they really came together :o)

We have softball practice tonight and throughout today - I plan on doing my normal chores - cleaning, laundry and such. It'll be tougher this week as Courtney has Spring Break and wants to do lots of things...LOL We definitely are excited that tomorrow morning - we will be picking up Gramma!! The kids can't wait - CJ was just crying and so upset yesterday about missing Gramma that when I told him she was coming in 2 days - he smiled so big and let out an excited scream - it was loud! Also, after we pick up Gramma, we take Courtney to her follow-up appointment with the pulmonary specialist.

Sometime this week I need to get together during the day with Rhonda and another team player's mom to work on our team sign for opening day. We have a parade opening day in the park and whoever wins 1st place on the sign gets $100! We would LOVE to win to apply that towards the girls trophies or end of the season party. We have ideas already and most of the supplies so that could be done today if everyone can get together.

Oh yes...we have completely finished painting. I'm so excited. I still need to take pictures of the family room and upload the ones from the den (completed basement area) along with the 2nd time we had snow here. I'm telling you...I'm getting further and further behind on things with everything going on. I know I'll never be caught up and I'm ok with that!

That's it for now. I'll try and keep this updated especially during softball season and I hope to take pictures soon - even if it's just practice!

What time is it???

SOFTBALL SEASON TIME!!! This week, we have spent most of our time at the ball field. We were there Sunday and then every day since then. We will be there again tonight for our first pre-season tournament game (it's more of a practice game then anything). I'm hoping to remember my camera but it's suppose to rain so not sure if I'll take it. Yes, we will play in the rain as long as there is no thunder or lightening. Courtney is playing shortstop and doing wonderfully!! What a difference in how she does in running since being on her current inhalers!! I'm grateful that CJ enjoys going to the ballpark and thankful for Hannah being there too to play with :o)

What else has been happening? We did get snow last Saturday and I took some pictures but haven't downloaded them yet (been too busy...lol). Courtney ended up with some kind of rash but wasn't contagious - it looked like she had a sunburn. She is finishing up her meds for that. We all got haircuts so we could do pictures but not sure when that will happen - might have to wait until next time.

Oh...Courtney got her report card yesterday and she made the 'A' honor roll AGAIN!! She has always been on it at Moody Elementary and we are so proud of her! She hasn't remembered that we owe her anything yet but I'm sure she'll say something soon ;o)

Gramma (Jason's mom) will be coming for a visit on March 25th and CJ can't stop talking/asking about when she'll visit. He hasn't seen her since October of last year. He isn't use to not seeing her for this long (same with the rest of us!). I'm glad she picked that week as it's Courtney's spring break and they can spend time together until ball practice :o) That's also the day Courtney goes back for her follow-up with her Pulmonary Specialist.

Hope everyone is doing well and are healthy!

Just a heads up...

We are predicted to get some bad thunderstorms - possibly hail and tornados. The wind is really kicking up and has been all day. We have a wind advisory until 6am tomorrow morning. All this is suppose to hit between midnight and 4am (sounds a lot like last week).

So, we might lose phones and internet again but wanted to give everyone a 'heads up' if you don't hear from me via im/email or phone for a while. We already have a 'plan' with friends in case it gets worse - they need somewhere safe.

Here's hoping it's not anything like last week. The funny thing is...we are expected to get snow flurries tomorrow - just like last week that we got!
