Pedro's 11th Birthday

Pedro celebrated her birthday this past weekend. We took her out to eat at Carlos O'Kelly's - her choice since it was all about the ice cream covered in honey and corn flakes! We had softball practice that evening - 5 hours worth - so we came hom after practice and did presents and cake! Notice her signature colors - Lime Green and Turqouise! We gave her the movie Alice in Wonderland and she got an itunes gift card and a bubble machine from Diddie and Big Boy! That has been a lot of fun! Tonight we have a softball game in Abilene for Pedro.

Since Pedro had a game the night of her birthday and Diddie had a game also but in a different town - we split ways - Charles stayed with Pedro and
Big Boy and I went to JC with Diddie! Pedro got to pitch in her game - she is learning quickly and getting lessons from a coach on "how to" get er done! Diddie this year is pitching for her 18u team and it is a great learning tool for her. She gets very tired by the end of the game but Monday night had 5 strike outs, 1 pop fly she caught, and short stuff did a vertical jump and caught a ball headed for center field - man I wish I had it on camera - White Girls Can Jump! They won their game 8 to 6.

Last Weekend - Late Post

Sorry this post is late. An update - Friday night - Varsity RCHS Softball - we lost. Sat AM Sylvan and then to buy new cleats and ball glove for Pedro - seems she has grown since two years ago when she played. Gosh - I did get a bonus from work for working smarter - not harder this past year - but gosh - within 2 hours Sat it was gone - spent on me? Nope not one dime. Sat Night - FFA Banquet - Izzy got FFA Reporter office for 09 -10 and was also awarded the Greenhand Star Award! Way to go - total surprise - Dad ruins it by saying he just doesn't see how that could have happened since she doesn't do anything. Gee - be a little happy there would ya dad?

Sunday - Mother's Day - Ughh - do I even want to talk about it? Probably not -but I will. I got up and did dishes - since they hadn't been done and I have broke all but four plates now by hand washing and being in a bad mood. Then I made breakfast - for everybody but me - was reminded when I got up that it was a nice day to go for a nice walk - help lose a few pounds ya know. Ate lunch at my parents house - which was OK. Came home and did 4 loads of laundry. God I could use a maid. TOok Pedro to Softball practice came home and made myself supper out of a Schwan's ready to eat meal - blech. It hasn't been the best week yet either.

Evenings at our house are a disaster with Sylvan twice a week and softball almost every night it seems. Jose was told to suit up for Regionals at Marysville Monday night at 6:30 against Rock Creek. Good Luck - can the girls pull it off - unless attitudes change I don't see how. Don't get me wrong - great girls - they just don't seem to have their heads in the games. I won't be making that trip since I have to take Pedro to Sylvan. Yippee - NOT!
