Results....

Courtney's first tournament was Saturday - first 2 games were at 8am and 10:30am. They lost both of those. The 3rd game at noon - lost. 4th game at 7:15pm - lost. Even though they lost all 4 games, the girls improved each and every game. Courtney has made a spot for herself in the infield - on 3rd base!! She can really move out there. Unfortunately, she didn't get to pitch because they needed her on 3rd. I do hope they use her in the next tournament no matter what! She was disappointed about not pitching but excited to play 3rd.




On another note, please keep a dear friend of mine, Sarah and her family in your prayers. She delivered baby Hannah on Saturday night and Hannah was stillborn. My heart aches tremendously for Sarah and her family. This is one of God's miracles as Sarah was trying for about 5 years to have another child and once she accepted God's will of not being able to conceive any way, she became pregnant. Understanding God's plan is extremely hard but I know he needed baby Hannah next to him. Thank you for your prayers for the family.

September already!!

I still can't believe how quickly this year has gone by! Things are moving right along here. Both Courtney and CJ are enjoying school. Progress reports come out Sept. 16th for Courtney - still can't believe it's almost time for those.

Courtney has been practicing hard with her pitching and with the Bombers99 team. I can't believe their first tournament is next week!! We have a 3 hour practice tomorrow and a few more during week. It's an all day thing next Saturday so hoping they do good. We won't know what time she plays until Wednesday. They'll be playing in 4 tournaments total for Fall - Sept. 13th, Sept 27th, Oct. 18th, and Nov. 1st. We'll see how things go and then decide on what she'll do in the spring.

Other than being at the ball fields or driving to and from both of their schools, not much else is happening here. I'm keeping busy doing all that...LOL! I'm hoping to actually scrapbook sometime soon as I haven't since before we moved into the house last October!

Speaking of October - we are trying to get tickets to go to Talladega for the Nascar race the first weekend of Oct. for CJ's birthday. Keeping fingers crossed for that!! CJ would absolutely LOVE to go since he is a HUGE Nascar fan especially of number 48 Jimmie Johnson (sponsored by Lowes). He has even decided to do a Nascar themed birthday (cupcakes for his class). I can't believe he'll be 5 next month.

Also one other thing before finishing this post....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSH!!!

We love you!
