Andrews vs Seminole

Another varsity game, with a noshow for Bailey. Practices with them, does warmups, team lunches, is in the dugout for the entire game and sees no playtime. She played first base for the junior varsity game. The varsity won 5-0 and jv won 7-2. I beleive the girls secured the district title with the win tonight. Glad it was a home game, as we were on the road enough today, and school is only 2 minutes from the house.

4 year old checkup.

Rieley went to Dr. Horne today in Midland for her 4 year old checkup. She weighed 24 pounds and was 35.5 inches tall. he said she looked very healthy and had no concerns. She is still below the 3% on the growth charts but is staying on the same curve and as long as she continues to move on the curve we are ok.

She continues to amaze us with the things she can do and how quickly she gets things, also she doesn't forget something you tell her. The dr told her goodbye and unless she is sick, he doesn't want to see her until she is 5.

The beginning of the new swingset.

Bailey and I stopped by Toys R Us and picked up Rieley's new playset Sunday. I am sure she will have a good time on it, once it is put together. The man at the toy store thought I was crazy when I said I had a minivan to haul it home in. Men have little faith in what we women know, I can pack things in like the best of them. It did all fit to his amazement and we got home in one piece. Hoping by next weekend, the guys in the house can get it put together, so the little princess can have something to do here in Andrews.

Here is a picture of what she has played on for the past 2 years and the boxes of the soon to be playset. Stay tuned for the finished project and pictures.

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.
