Here are a few shots of bailey's head coach at Andrews high School. She is very nice and boy does she know her softball. Bailey is learning quite a bit of stuff from her.

The top photo is the look you get when you don't watch the coach for the sign and watch the ball instead.

Another weekend was spent at the softball fields. we started on Thurs with 2 games, 2 on Friday and 2 on Sat. Bailey was either designated hitted or played first base during the games. She is doing really well at first and at the plate. Coach Conyers told her, she has the highest batting average on the team right now.

Rieley is so good at these tournaments, it is amazing. She goes with the flow and if she is tired, climbs on mom and falls asleep. We are going stroller shopping this weekend as our old one now has no brakes and the safety belt is broke. I need the stroller to haul all of her things, plus coats, blankets and our healthy food(apples, oranges, grapes and strawberries) plus snacks. We would be broke if we ate the concession food all weekend long.

We would start out the mornings in winter coats and gloves, under blankets and on the last day, we ended the day in short sleeve shirts. Weird weather here in TX, that is for sure.

We were told here in TX, people leave Santa beer and pickled eggs instead of cookies and milk. And the people here in TX make popsicles out of the leftover pickle juice. Sounds nasty to us.

More pics from softball and birthday.

Bailey's Sweet 16th Birthday

We were truly blessed on the afternoon of Feb 18, 1994. The doctors had told me I would be having a girl, but after 3 boys I did not believe them. When the doctor told us, "It's a GIRL." I couldn't believe my ears. Tim and I were both so excited with the news, I had him on the phone announcing her arrival, instead of taking photos. She has been a true blessing from God and is growing into such a fine, sweet, talented young lady. That is not to say, she does have bad days, more often now that we are here in TX and she doesn't like it. But, she has goals and has staye dstrong on them. I have no doubt, she will accomplish what she sets her mind on. We love you very much Bailey Elizabeth. Happy Birthday dear.

Bailey turned 16 on the 18th, but didn't celebrate it until Sat the 20th with dinner at Shoguns and a cake. She was playing in a softball tournament from Thurs through Sat, that consisted of 6 games. She played very well and hit the ball hard during the games. They were a long 3 days, with school in there too. Mom made her a cake, and then we worked together and decorated it with fondont, we were pretending to be on the Ace of Cakes, we have a long way too go. She got the Nook for her birthday, hoping this will save dad and I on the book money spent each year at barnes and Nobles.

Tonight is the first official softball game of the season. The girls have played 5 scrimmage games and done well. Even when they are playing in 30-40 degree weather and wind.

The varsity teams eats lunch toegther as a team before each game, so we had them over today for pizza, veges, strawberries and dessert. I think they all left full, there were 13 girls and they devoured 6 pizzas plus other stuff.

Bailey has worked hard to make varsity here and that work has paid off for her. hoping this helps her feel settled here, know it won't be PA but.

enjoy the pics, will try and get a few pics at the game tonight.
