Our Weekend!

Thursday was our Midland Need to Read style show at the Country Club. Braden & Baryn looked really cute. Braden got shy when we had to go onstage, but he got over it when the emcee started talking about him playing baseball and where he went to school. Braden didn't know how he knew all those things? Everyone oohed & ahhed over Baryn and the emcee asked where do I find her wigs? Everyone chuckled! Her hair has gotten soooo curly! She did great as always! We had a good time!

Friday was our second game of the week of baseball! All the grandparents were there and time for a showdown since Monday's game without Chad was a no hitter! But this time was AWESOME! After 2 goes at batting, no hits, and Bee Dub was down on himself. But with 2 outs in the 2nd to last inning, going in, third times a charm when he finally got a beautiful hit and sailed right to 1st base! The whole crowd was excited for him & so proud! One of the other moms even snapped pictures of it!!! It was the game saving hit!! the 2 boys behind him got him in to score and he was elated! Finally everyone (the grandparents) got to see him HIT! We took him across the street to putt putt & let him ride the go-karts & play a little to celebrate!

Yesterday, was a birthday party for one of Bee Dub's school buddies & then a Lingerie Shower for Chad's cousin across the street at Sylvia's and then we were suppose to goto the Parade of Homes, which we had to miss due to the babysitter getting sick after lunch at BK. Needless to say, we were so tired anyways!

Today, we are surprising Braden with Finding Nemo on Ice in Odessa! I got tickets like the 1st day they were available so we have great seats. He has never been to Icecapades, so it should be fun! Braden has had a great weekend & Baby Sister is just along for the ride! She has been a little under the weather, but not acting too ill! She just goes with the flow!

I hope you are not too tired of my bragging on my son, but we are so proud. He is such a challenge day to day, so when great things like this happen, I have to shout about it!!! Stop reading if you don't want to hear my bragging, cause I can tell.....there is more to come!!!

Hump Day!

Nothing too exciting today, just thought that I would write to keep you up to date as to what is going on in our lives!

Chad left town on Sunday, which for some reason, makes Braden think that he can act out! I don't understand this theory..... Chad goes all the way downtown everyday, & Braden is fine. Chad goes out of town, Braden is a holy terror? Help me out here! It's not like I change my ways when Chad is gone, our schedule is still the same routine, so what is he thinking? He has tamed down yesterday & today, so we will see the rest of this morning!

Baryn, too, is coming into her own.... She is getting a little bit of an attitude! She likes things a certain way, and she wants to do it herself! Don't dare tell her NO! This is bad! She is such a good girl though & doesn't require as much as Braden did at this age. Girls are so different!

Chad is in San Antonio for a Geological Conference. He loves his time in hotels, where he can watch those movies that I dont like, he can get room service, doesn't have to deal with Braden nagging his baby sister, he can go out with "the guys", have dinner with an old fraternity brother who lives in the town he is in (Devin is now in San Antonio), and most importantly, he doesnt have to deal with my crap! Needless to say, he has a trip scheduled week after next to Colorado!

As for me, I keep on chuggin'. Taxi driver by day, maid by night! Nothing much changes with me! I am run down & ready for something to give! I do love my life, but I think I would love it more with a little bit of change! I think I am ready for summer!! I have a couple of girl weekends/ work weekends planned! So hopefully this will get here soon!

Tomorrow, the kids & I will be modelling at the country club for Midland Need to Read benefit! I will let you know how that goes! It is the kids first modelling debut!!! I cant wait!

Have a great day!

Oh My Gosh!

To follow up Woo Hoo from last week..... WOOOOOO HOOOOOOO for Bee Dub! He hit the ball last night and made it to first where they overthrew it & he kept going to second base!!!! Boy was everyon excited! Especially ME as I was jumping up & down, up & down!! He continued on to third and then Home to score as two other boys hit the ball! We are still undefeated!! Yippee! Just wanted to let everyone know that Braden is slowly getting back to the boy I convinced the Little League about!! YEE HAW!!

Woo Hoo!

Boy! Am I a proud mama! Let me tell you all about it!

Well, I haven't followed up on Braden's baseball since Practice #1 for a reason...... You see, Bee Dub is a left sided hitter, and the ONLY one on his team, as well as a part of the minority in the baseball world! Sooooo, the coaches are a little challenged by this, and they have hit him with the ball 3 times! Once in the stomach, once in the arm, and once in the leg! SO NOW HE'S GUNSHY! He is so afraid that the ball is going to hit him, so he is not concentrating on the ball touching the bat! So I got him a trainer, our good ol friend Wilson, who plays at Trinity & is really good! He worked with him just to get his Psyche back in place, and it worked!!! He finally got a hit yesterday, and even knew which direction to run!!! So just as he's hitting first base with his right leg, the ball ends up rolling of the foul line! OH MY FREAKIN' GOD! The crowd, which was so excited for him (cause they know what has happened over the past couple of weeks) just awes & me, who is about in tears, so proud of her son, just drops at the waist in total sadness for Bee Dub who has to trek back to home plate to try again to which he failed! My poor Little Man, didn't quite understand because he saw it make it almost to the pitcher and off he was! As I continue to brag.... He also was a great 3rd baseman last night as he "fielded" 3 balls and got them back to the pitcher with great speed! He also tagged a guy out with his back side of his glove at 3rd base at the same time that the 2nd baseman was tagging somebody, actually with the ball! Braden is learning, but has anybody told him that the game name is baseball and that is what tags people out, not just the action of tagging? It was quite funny! Gotta love him!!!

He was still so excited and hopefully this will continue! Remember, that this mommy, so confident in her son, told the little league people that he was "too good for T-ball" and that even though he was a grade, and a year younger than everyone else, he would still be an asset to Coach Pitch! Yeah, so needless to say, I have buried my head a little more and just have kept my mouth shut, if you can so beleive!!!???

What a weekend!

Well, as if anyone cares... I thought I would write about our crazy weekend! Friday started off with decorating for our Junior League fundraiser at 8:30am, followed by a 10:45 doctor's appt for baby sister, then off to lunch with daddy, then to the store for a tad....still in my jogging suit with no make-up. Then to Junior League venue to drop something off, then home to dress Bee Dub for Baseball practice. Got him off with Poppy to practice, Chad & I showered ( not together ) then mom & dad came over & shot the bull, then the babysitter arrived, ordered a pizza and thennnnnnnn off to our fundraiser! We had a blast & too much wine! It was a good end to a wild day!

Saturday came way too fast! Up early for Baseball Opening Ceremonies & wanted to run by Chick fil A first & eat a good breakfast! Freezing ASS cold & WET! It was miserable. Chad left early for our Junior League ClayShoot fundraiser with some guy friends, & Braden & I waited for Team Pics. Then rest of the day, Chad was gone til 6 & we all took it easy!

Sunday, a productive day! Chad & I had our coffee together & then he was off to Home Depot & Target to get the necessary babyproofing items needed for baby sister! I got dressed for a Panhellenic Booth I was having and left when Chad & Bee Dub got home! Hello, Goodbye! I was gone all afternoon while Chad got a wild hair to trim & cut down most of the trees in the back yard! Ugghhh! Oh well, it did need to be done, it just wasnt a priority on my list! That ended at 7, then off to Rosa's for Take out & back home to spread grass seed & set up our new mock sprinkler system, a bath for Bee Dub, Baryn to bed as well as Bee Dub, with first being read to by my awesome son!

WHOOO! Finally a movie with my husband & off to bed! Me first while he finished the movie!

Needless to say, it is Monday morning & I am on the couch in my PJs and not wanting to do a darn thing except watch baby einstein with Baryn which is on right now! (I have done one load of laundry, though...just to make me feel like I accomplished SOMETHING today!)

Have a great week!

Oh, yeah I spent alot of Saturday night getting my website up & running & ready to sell, sell, sell. Right now, it is just sorority & college stuff, but it is great! Take a look!

My Boy is GOOOODDD!

Hey! I am Blog Bragin', tonight! My son went to baseball practice last night, and hit 'em hard & hit 'em good! Let me remind you that my son, is a year too young for the team (suppose to be 6 by April 1 & in 1st grade) and is supposed to have a year of T-Ball under his belt. Well I told them at sign up that my son, was too good for T-Ball, so sign him up for regular baseball!

Well, the coach has since figured out, not to baby his throws to my son! He does better when they are fast and hard! He hits them all the way to 2nd base! Mind you, he is a left sided hitter & a right handed pitcher which throws everyone for a loop!

Can anyone tell that I am a boastful mommy? But who wouldn't be? A year too young, 2 grades too early, and born in experience! Born to be a pro!

Have a great week! I will write on how his first game goes next week!

Happy Easter 2008!

This is our first Easter with Baryn! Why, You ask? Well... Last year we had to make a tough & easy decision with going to Sohail's wedding in Hawaii! No Brainer, yet, easy decision! Hawaii or Midland? You decide! So, needless to say, I am so excited to hav the Easter Bunny come on actual Easter instead of ficticiously, one week earlier! The kids are excited & so am I! We got the most adorable Easter outfits & are going to see the bunny tomorrow!

Other than our regular daily chaos, we are hanging out & enjoying the last of our Spring Break! Chad & I have a date today! We are going to Odessa, to go eat at Harrigans & then go to the accountant! Whoopie! Our idea of fun! We are so hurting for a good time!

That is all going on here! Hope you have a great Easter!

Lots of Love!

We are Back!

Well, we survived the Disney World trip & had a blast! Braden didn't know that we were even going on the trip until we woke him up at 4:30 am on Wednesday & out we went with Chad's parents! We met up with Chad's brother & family, where his kids didn't know we were going!! It was a day full of surprises! 13 people with stroller in tow at Disney World, in the middle of Spring Break is QUITE interesting! It was a fun trip, but so tough on us physically! I am still trying to recover! I posted pics to the side! Lots of pics!!

I have a Husband again!!!

Well, Chad made it home late last night & then headed straight for the computer to get some work done! Ughhh. Then he wakes up & straight to work, AGAIN! Needless to say, I haven't gotten a chance to even talk to him! Regardless, I am glad he is home! Tomorrow, we have Baby Sister going in to have tubes put in! We have to be at the hospital at 6:45am! It won't be long surgery but a long wait! I am of course, very nervous but I TOTALLY trust Dr. Traxel! He has done my tonsillectomy as well as Chad's. Wish us luck! And by the way, Chad is home for a whole month!!

Happy, the Crotch Biting Dog, TAKE 1!

So I read an old friends blog, called fergoogle, & I love what her husband always has to say, (even though I don't know him that well). I swear I wet myself everytime I read his stuff! Anyways... I got on this morning and found this video to the left. (the top one works fine) Even though I have seen this on TV before, I had to die laughing, and so should you!!!

Take a look, & props to good old Jennifer, my Dawn Circle Buddy who married a hilarious guy!
