November is here already and I am more and more amazed by God's love and beauty everyday. The blessings He pours out to me just blows my mind. I am so thankful to be His girl always and forever! This month is going to be full of joy including my lil brother's birthday and a baby shower for my sister-in-law/niece-to-be. Yes I'm gonna be an aunt again! :) I am thrilled! Live,Love,Laugh

THERE'S NO CRYING IN BASEBALL!!!!!!! :) Today I had some time to read a few chapters of one of my favorite books so far. It's called Dirt in the Skirt which is the autobiography of Lavone "Pepper" Paire Davis, one of the original Ladies of Baseball, a top-notch catcher and a 10-year veteran of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League of the '40s and '50s with five championship titles. She was Marshall's first choice as chief adviser on the film "A League of Their Own" and in 1944 wrote the league's baseball song used in the movie. I loved the movie after watching it years ago, it has got to be one of my favorites as well since I grew up playing softball my whole life. The book makes me laugh though because Pepper and I have so much in common and she sounds like she was so much fun...

.I was excited to see Pepper who signed my book for me with a personal message which was really neat. After meeting her it was just so amazing how much spunk she still has while seeing how frail she has become. She is still a 20-something at heart! This book is a must read for all softball players! It is greeeeeeeeat! Additional pics to come...

Here's some high school pics...
Here's me right after we beat Jefferson (the #1 Ranked team in the state-defending state champions) to go to the state tournament my senior year...you can tell I was happy :)
Me on senior night. I'm second from the left. Crazy coach that ruined everyone's state dreams on the right.
Far back middle: Me getting interviewed by the press (guy in the gray shirt). I would frequently get interviewed by them) They even tended to put stuff in the paper that I didn't even say...lol
My last regular game right before state playing Jefferson. This is me running to first when I hit another ball to the right field fence.
Me playing third base on our home field. Also where I hit a few out of the park :)
My highschool. The school and front lawn is much larger than the pic looks.

Friends! :)

Wow August here already and I'm learning to love everyday I have! God has been blessing me in such amazing ways despite my life situations! God has sent my way so many new awesome Christian friends! Having a solid Christian friend seems to be hard to come by these days and I sit here thinking to myself how it seems like they are just being thrown at me! I realize I had prayed to God not too long ago for just that....it's amazing how God does answer prayers and always tends to go above and beyond our requests. Like the Bible verse says "Keep on asking, and you will be given what you ask for. Keep on looking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And the door is opened to everyone who knocks. Matthew 7:7-8. Thank you Lord.

Memorial Day Weekend

What a wonderful weekend! Had an excellent time with family and friends--along with some fun travels of course! :) More with pics to come...

God shows us even more LIFE! :)

My niece's cat had baby kittens and they have grown so big and now are walking. They are so fun. They love climbing up her! The kittens are all so different. Pics to come soon! She loves being a "Grandma". She also got a new cell phone she HAD to have!!!! Best Buy had the best phones to chose from. This is her third new phone I think and she is only 8! I keep hounding her to make me some more art work - she always does a great job (and she likes to do it for payment! - little entrepreneur!!!) She works hard for her stuff and even makes me breakfast (eggs & toast) for money also!


What a beautiful weekend it was! :) Church and had plenty of time to read my Bible... Pizza in the park....Watched Iron Man 2.... Planted a tree (flowers to come). The roses outside are blooming and they are so pretty!!!

Yummmm!

Ok so we had a family gathering today... Dad cooked a delicious meal so I thought I had to add my two cents!!! Guess what I made???

Yummm!

Delicious!!

Nothing like it!!!

Did you guess it? Who would've thought that simple chocolate cupcakes would just hit the spot!!! :P

Happy Mother's Day!

Wishing everyone a Happy Mother's Day! :)

Blue Diamonds

Wow! It's May already!! Can't believe how fast time is flying by! My niece Missy took second place today at her softball championship! Her team was the Blue Diamonds...cute huh? I'm so proud of her! She's the only one who had two hits and 4 RBI's. She's always been the best on her team! :) She is competing against girls who have played 1,2, even 3 years already and she just started throwing a ball a few months ago but she was the team pitcher and first base! I think she is taking after someone....ME! :) I can't believe how much she has improved...above the others with her lack of experience! Next year hopefully she'll take first place and I'm excited to see where her level of play is then. Today she recieved an awesome trophy...wish we recieved trophy's like that when I played! I'm a little jealous!

God is good...
