Yes--I'm still alive :)

Long time no bloggy blog, I know. Just haven't felt like it. I've wanted nothing to do with the computer. Do you ever feel that way? No blogging, no emailing, nothing. If I hurt anyone's feelings I truly am sorry. It was just something that I had to step away from for awhile. Maybe forcing myself to post today will get me back in the blogging mood!

So here's what's been going on with me:

We have been spending every weekend at the softball fields. I really do love watching Holly play. She is amazing. There's even been some interest in her from an 18u select gold team. I watch in awe as I see her using the talents that God (and probably a few genes from Freddy!!!) has given her. We went to the State tourney this weekend. The girls placed 4th out of 22 teams. 1 place higher than last year. Awesome. We go to Regionals in a couple of weeks in Wichita Falls. I can't wait!

Holly turned 15 on the 19th. We threw a surprise party for her with her friends and teammates complete with a Kelly Clarkson bday cake. She is a Kelly Clarkson fanatic. A blast was had by all. If you would like to see pictures you can go to Freddy's site at www.webtoastmedia.com and click on gallery.

Joey has discovered golf and fishing. He is quite the golfer and can outdrive my father-in-law. Hee-hee.

Melanie is filling in on a 10u allstar team when they need her. She's not as natural as Holly, but has an outstanding work ethic. She will work harder than anyone on her team. A coach's dream.

Benjamin is trying to get his band thing going. He's caught between boyhood and manhood and trying to figure things out. 17 must be hard for boys.

I have been thoroughly enjoying my kids and our pool this summer. I don't think I could've picked 4 better kids.

A special thank you to Darla and Michael--you know why. We love the bracelets and had big plans for a video thank you that we have just not had time to put together. How considerate you two are.

I got a new kitty for mother's day. Her name is Kitty, but at any given time you can hear someone calling her Petey, Gata, Petey McDoogle, or Smelly Cat (seriously). The dogs love her. Our other cat, not so much.

One more thing--I highly recommend going to Pappasito's for sangria and nachos...and then on a whim getting a hotel room for a few hours with your husband/wife. Seriously. You must do this. ;)

Love to you all--if anyone still visits my blog!
