Baseball Season Is Winding Down

Only a couple more weeks and our baseball season will be over (well, unless he gets picked for Allstars!) It has been a great year, we have lost and won an even amount of games so if we stay on track where we are we may be 2nd or 3rd this year. Which is awesome since we have mostly 13 year old and the rest of the teams have more 14 & 15 year old. All of the kids have played so hard and did an awesome job.

My brother Jeremy has joined the coaching staff...LOL. Since he was a pitcher in college he has taken over being the pitching coach. They have all done a wonderful job coaching and Larry has taken the head coach position and ran with it!

Being the head coaches wife means more work for me. I usually keep score every game and when we are home team I keep score along with Mrs. Tammy...we make a good pair! We have also been taking pictures of the kids as they play and taken team photos for them. I have lots of pics and if I get the permission of the kids I will post some of their individual pics.

For now here are some of my favorite pics! Hopefully after baseball season I will have time to blog more often!

Short & Sweet (Kinda)

Since it has been a while since I posted a blog. I thought I would give a quick update. I really would like to blog more often but it seems to be hard for me to do these days.

Chey is finally better. We figured out the problem and have it all flushed out so to speak! We got through the FCAT week and she has went to school 2 weeks straight without missing a day! She still cries most mornings but we are working through it. I guess I spoke too soon about her doing so well with the changing schools thing...

Brant is in full swing at baseball. I will have to post some pics soon of that. The team is coming together and they all play so well together. He got sick again this week, with the flu this time. He is better today and went back to school. Lets see we have been to the doctors office a total of 7 times in the last month between Chey & Brant.

We got 2 little Lion head Rabbits. They are so cute and fuzzy (will post pics another time of those adorable little baby bunnies). Larry & Brant planted our first ever garden (I need to take pics of that). The kids got lots of ribbons from the Southeastern Youth Fair with all their 4-h projects and 4 of them are for photography, where do that get that interest from?

I managed to get a full week at the Court House in last week, but this week I subbed at the Elementary School 3 times so I only made it there twice this week. My supervisor at the Court House is ok with me subbing since that is the agreement we made when I started working there. It gives me a good oppurtunity to see which career I would like to pursue. However I really think that I want to be a Professional Photographer when I grow up!

I subbed once for PE and I loved that. I hope they call me more to fill that spot! It has been a very eye opening experience for me to sub, but I really like it. Still been busy with my photography. Im taking lots of pics at the ball field for a special project for our team. Also, I have been asked to do a Mother Daughter Banquet in May to take pictures for everyone. Im really looking forward to that!

Larry's job is OK and hopefully the layoffs have stopped for a while. In the meantime while all this is going on he has decided to go into the Army Reserves. We are waiting for his blood work to come back to make sure he can go. If everything comes back fine he may be leaving in May for 4 months. He has to go through basic training and AIT. Then he will come back home and go once a month and 2 weeks out of the year.

I will be honest and say I was not for this in the beginning. Who wants their spouse to leave them for 4 months??? But the more we have talked and prayed I think it may be for the best for our future. He has dreams and I want him to follow them. He supports every dream I have, no matter how far fetched it may be sometimes or how short lived it is. Ill update more on this subject when I know more about what is going on.

That is about it for now...I'm off to lay in my cozy bed for some much needed R&R and catch up on my Days of Our Lives DVR!!! Have a great weekend everyone!

Taking A Minute To Blog

Busy can not even come close to how our life has been lately. Sometimes I think I should just forgo sleeping just to get things done. It seems lately we always have somewhere to go or something to do. Our days, nights and weekends have suddenly become over flowing with commitments. However with that said I don't think we would trade it for the world except to maybe have just one day to do nothing. So here is just a little update on us!

Cheyenne has still been sick, she went to school 2 days in 2 weeks. After the bronchitis she got gastritis in her stomach which caused her stomach to hurt and she couldnt eat or barely drink. We went to the doctor 4 times in the 2 weeks. She went to school today but she says her stomach still hurts. Hopefully she will be completely over it soon.

Brant came down with strep throat last Wednesday, so Thursday I took them both to the doctor. She has made a killing off my kids in the last 2 weeks! I had to enlist some help from my mom and sister Mandi to help watch them so I wouldn't have to take off all those days at work since I have only been there 3 weeks.

Work is getting easier to understand and the days go by quickly. I still have a to-do list at home a mile long but I have managed to keep the laundry done and cook dinner, maybe nothing else is getting done but when I get the kids well, all this mountain of back homework done, my taxes and getting the kids projects ready for the Southeaster Youth Fair. I will have time to clean this house!

Larry's job is still touchy and he is nearing a decision on his little adventure he wants to take. It will affect us all but I feel a little better that it will be for the best for us. I have decided to stand behind him because he stands behind any adventure I want to take on!

Speaking of adventure...My photography seems to be coming along great! I'm so excited and happy that everyone I have done pictures for love them and have referred me to their friends and family! I got a new camera 2 weeks ago...Its a Sony A350 DSLR, it takes great pics. I'm still learning the settings and doing lots of practicing but the ones Ive taken so far have been great! I have a wedding to do in April and maybe another one after that! If you know of anyone wanting photos taken please send them my way or direct them to my photography blog to check out my work. I will try to update with my latest pics soon!

One more thing, if anyone is interested in antiques! We will be having a Yard Sale at my Step grandfathers house on February 28th. There is so much stuff there and some of it is really old! So if your into antiques or just yard sales come look around, we have found lots of treasures in the attic including furniture, mirrors, old books, pictures, lighters, lamps, radios...we pretty much have anything you could want! Email me if you want directions.

Well I gotta run to tackle another to-do before I get the kids off the bus!
