Andrews vs Greenwood

Varsity won another game 4-2, but again Bailey saw NO play time and there was no jv game. Don't understand what the coaches are doing or what is going on, maybe we aren't suppose to, but what the heck.We will be there to support Bailey as she sits the bench. And continue to get her swing back, that was messed up. No pictures again, with NO play time.
Again, Rieley was a trooper. We headed into town to do some shopping and then go to the game. We are swingset shopping for Rieley's new playset. Found one at Lowes and may get it tomorrow if i can fit all of the boxes into the van. It was an hour drive to the game one way, nothing is close here in TX. Just really glad gas is not $4 a gallon, the van is getting some mileage on it.

Lunch for the softball team.

Tuesday April 5th, I fixed a spagetti lunch with the fixings and desert for the varsity softball team. The parents do this on days the girls have games. There were 16 girls and 3 coaches here for the lunch.

Bailey, again, saw NO play time on the varsity team and played JV. She does a good job playing firstbase but so wants to have her spot back on varsity. We still don't understand what is going on, but encourage her to keep working on her batting. We are still hitting the cages each week and now are in contact with her old coach back in PA. We took some video of her last week at the cages and have sent those to him to analyze. He has sent back a few drills for her to do and some videos for us to watch.
The varsity won 11-0 and iv lost 4-3.

Rieley's 4th Birthday 4/06/10.

We celebrated Rieley's 4th bithday a day early, to allieviate opening gifts and doing cake and ice cream at 9 o'clock at night after Bailey's softball game on the 6th. She was really excited about opening her gifts and loved them all. Her eyes lit up when she opened the envelopes and out came money. She has got some furniture for her dollhouse that santa brought, arts and crafts stuff, books, dress up jewelry, money and much more. We went to story hour the day after her birthday and she got a crown and Happy Birthday sung to her.

Easter 2010

Rieley is still a bit under the weather, so we laid low around the house and didn't do much. She did go out and hunt some plastic eggs and enjoyed a walk being pushed by mom. The weather is beautiful here.

Andrews vs. Lamesa

Had another game last night and didn't get to see Bailey play. Team won 16-2 in 5 innings. Sure would be nice to see some of the other girls get on the field when they have these blowouts. Bailey continues to work on her batting at the batting cages, with mom feeding the machine with the balls. I have to say, this girl is dedicated. Many of girls would have quit with what she has been through, but not her. Just wish she could get back to seeing some live pitching in some games. The machines and tees can only do so much and the junior varsity pitchers she is seeing are not throwing hard at all.
So, no pictures from this game. It was only an hour drive to the game. Rieley, was a trooper, even with 101 temp. Thank God for the DVD player in the van.
No games until next Tues, we get a break with Easter.

Sick little girl.

Rieley has been running a fever for the past day and a half, ranging from 101 -102. She also has a nasty cough, that when it hits she can't catch her breath from all of the mucus in her throat. They tested her for strep today and it came back negative but gave me a cough syrup to give her to hopefully break up the mucus and let her get some sleep.
The big surprise, was she has finnaly gained some weight. By their scales, she has gained over 2 ounds in the last 3 months and is at 23 1/2 pounds. This is big in our world, we were stuck at 21 pounds for so long.

Hoping she gets better soon and is ready for the Easter Bunny and her 4th birthday next Tues.
We don't let her watch tv much, so today her and mommy have been having a Disney Princess marathon with movies in and out of the car.

Watering the plants with daddy.

Rieley loves to help me around the house, she says she is my helper. Then you ask her about the older kids and her reply is, " They are lazy", maybe I ought watch what I say, hee hee. I bought her her own wqatering can while in town yesterday, and she couldn't wait for daddy to get home today to water all of the flowers, tomato and pepper plants. Job well done, kiddo.
