Finally Times Two

The rain we've been having has caused Louie Blue and Mr. Butler's baseball tourney games to be postponed again and again. But it finally stopped long enough for Mr. B to play on Tuesday and Louie on Wednesday. So that's the first FINALLY.

The second FINALLY is that since it was single elimination and they both lost, baseball season is finally over.

Louie Blue had a fun season. It was her first year to ever play and she didn't do very well, but she had a great coach, and was lucky to have a good group of kids for the most part on her team, and most importantly had fun.

Mr. B didn't have the best year. His coaches were not good and played favoritisms toward their own kids, had pretty poor tempers when dealing with little kids, and were poor loosers. So he is very happy to finally be done with the season and looking forward to football.

I'm just looking forward to the free evenings for awhile.

Weekend In A Nutshell

The musical on Friday was amazing! I had so much fun! For dinner we went to Ichiban and then walked down to the Pioneer Center. Yep, in heels and all and it was FREEZING!

The cast was so good. They had great voices and acting abilities. And we had the best seats! Can you believe we had the SECOND row? As you face the stage, we were on the very far right. It was neat to be that close to the stage and the orchestra pit. Me, being blind, could actually see facial expressions and little gestures you normally don't get the chance to see from far awaya, and it was really neat to see the musicians. Abba music is really good! And I'm not afraid to admit it. We had a great time and I am so glad to have gone!

Saturday I cleaned house, did laundry, and went grocery shopping. How jealous of me are you all? It rained pretty much all day. It was cold and dreary and wet. I am tired of rain; as is my frizzy humidity crazy hair and greasy skin. I am a desert girl and just can't handle all this moisture.

Saturday evening we went as a family (minus Big A cuz he was on a date) to see my brother in law play guitar at Bully's Meadowood.

Sunday I ended up having to call the bishop a half hour before church started to get someone to sub my lesson because I couldn't get in touch with ANYONE and I went back to bed and spent the rest of the day there with a killer migraine.

I'm feeling much better now!

Mama Mia!

I am totally excited to be going with J and our friends, Cory and Traci to see this show tonight. I have never seen a Broadway show before and we are using this night out as an excuse to get all gussied up. Any night out with our friends and without kids is a great night!

Long Time

I have officially been married for longer now than I was un-married. Yes, I was only 18 when I married my love, and we have been married for 18 1/2 years now. I think it is quite an accomplishment these days for anyone to still be married for as long as I have been. Here's to another 18 1/2 years!

Another Month Down In History

I can't believe it's June already. May went by so quickly!

The kids all get out of school on Wednesday, but the weather has cooled down yet again, so it doesn't feel like they should be heading into summer vacation.

Big A is working at Wild Island again this summer. Sadly , we just could not afford season passes this year...I just can't think about it; it makes me too sad.

Baseball is thankfully over this week. Mr. Butler hit an amazing in park homerun on Saturday and got the game ball. He hasn't had the best season though, becuase he got unlucky with the coaches he got drafted by...but that's another story. Louie Blue is just loving baseball and has a fantastic coach.

J is working on wood bases for our taxidermist and keeping very busy and making some extra cash.

I'm just busy keeping up with all of them.
