Pieces Of Us.

Day Two: :(

Day Two was a rough one. We lost to a team that we shouldn't have lost to. Just couldn't put it all together today! :(
Hermiston=4 Murrayhill=5

 

 

 

 

 
Tomorrow is a new day!!!  We will get it together and come back, I just know it!!!     GO HERMISTON!!!

Day One: Victory

Hermiston defeated Medford 25-7, today!

Our girls ran the bases like I have never seen them run before.  They were stealing bases like crazy!
Madi played a good game.  I keep meaning to get a picture of her sliding at home, but everytime, I get so excited and wrapped up in cheering, and watching, that I ALWAYS forget to snap pictures!
So, that is my goal for this week.  Hopefully I will have plenty of chances to get some good ones of her.
I really didn't take many pictures today, but here are a couple...

 
 

State Championship

I know, I know...  Everyone has to be sick of hearing about Softball, if they have spent any time with our family, or read this blog in the past  months or so, but next week finishes it up for us for the year.
Monday is Day One of the Oregon State Little League Softball Championship Games.  We are beyond excited and hopeful for an amazing week!  No matter the outcome of next weeks games, by next weekend, Softball season will officially be over.
Very bittersweet!  The girls have worked their rears off.  Seriously.
I can't believe how hard they have worked, and how positive they have stayed.  Of course that is pretty easy to do when you have ten runned every team you have played to get here, but that isn't the point! :)
Madi and her teammates have been practicing at least 5 nights a week, for over three months now.  They have ran, hit, slid and scored in the sweltering heat, and smiled and pushed themselves the entire time.  They have missed out on other summer activities, to rest up and make it to practice.  I am proud of them.  Each one of them!
And, so very thankful for the coaches that we have!  These guys have put so much time and effort into getting these girls where they are today, and I am so thankful for their dedication!
Between ASA and Little League, My girl has come so far these past few years. 

I am proud and excited to watch these girls, and can't wait to see how far they go in the future. 
I can't help but think what it will be like when these girls are in High School, and hope that they will stay together, and keep the positive attitudes.  They are going to be AMAZING players by then!

So, wish us luck, and if you are looking for a chance to watch some great ball games, we play Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 9:00am, in Baker City, Oregon.
Then will (hopefully) be the Championship games Thursday and Friday.

My camera batteries are charged, and we are ready to hit the road, with our new camper in tow!  Should be an amazing week!

Disneyland 09

We didn't take many pictures, at all.  Most of my time was spent in class, and what time I wasn't in class, I was having fun just being.
John and I had a wonderful time.  It was amazing just being together.  No kids to worry about, no time schedules, once class was over.

It really was a great trip!

This is the view from the sliding glass door in our room-
 
 

It was so nice there.  Staying at the resort is the way to go, for sure!
It was such an amazing hotel, and so nice to be so close to everything!

 

One night, John and I stopped at this cute little outdoor bar.
It was a cute little place to sit and talk, and we each had three drinks.  The fun ended when we got the tab.  Holy MOLY!!!

 
 

They were delish though, and worth every, single penny!  In fact, I wanted to go back the next night!!!

 
 

 
 

 
So much fun!  And John got to relax in the sun, by the pool for a couple of days.  Then our friend who lives in San Diego came and went to California Adventure with him for a day, while I was in class.  He was a pretty lucky boy that week, I would say!
