Softball

I love my softball team! I can't say it enough. I was so apprehensive about doing it but I have just had a blast.... I have had to give up my Sundays but I just always have so much fun. Now, it is almost over. We had playoffs this past weekend and we won both games! So the weekend after Thanksgiving will be our last game or games as it will be the championship. Something really excited happened to me this past Sunday though..... I scored 2 runs for the team! There was some about a suicide run and RBI but I don't know what those mean... but I did something right. I am by far the worst player on the team but I don't mind. I think I said before that pretty much everyone on the team played on their high school team and there are even some who played for their college!! Last weekend I made it to 3rd base for the first time but then got out because I didn't know what was going on. And this week I made it home twice! My teammates were yelling at me to tell me what to do the whole time but I was thankful because otherwise I would have probably gotten out. We had a joke that my goal was to hit a home run but my secret goal was just to score.... and then I did twice!!!!!

The girls on the team. I love them so much!!!!

And here is our team. I think 2 people are missing.

It has been such a blast!!!!! I think we are playing dodgeball or bowling as a winter sport with all the same people so stay tuned!

$6

These are my new shoes that I LOVE. I got them for $6. I would have paid probably $30 for these because I think they are so cute but I didn't have to!!! They are actually from payless. I have never found a pair of shoes in there in the past 5 years. I can't even remember the last time I bought shoes from there. AND I love these! Can you tell I am excited?

Camden turned 5?????

On Saturday I went over to the Browns to give Camden his birthday gifts and to watch the boys for a bit. I think I got some cute pictures!

Camden with his big bow. I love seeing him excited to open gifts!

I gave him Marble Works. This was something I had as a kid and absolutely loved! I had fun building this with him and I think that he quite enjoyed it himself!

Sweet Andy boy was in the BEST mood! He was all hugs and giggles!

Me and Cam. I think this is so cute of us!!

Boys will be boys.

This past Friday John and I went to Baileywick Park with some other friends. We had such a fun time. I really love this park so much. We let the kids play on the playground for a good while and then we had a picnic next in a field. I had brought some balls for the kids to play with after they finished their lunch. We were sitting right next to a softball field and there was no one around so we let Camden and John go run around in the field. We couldn't see from their knees down while they were playing. The next thing I know John looks like this:

Yes, he is covered in mud! OH MY! My initial response to panic but he was laughing and having so much fun. So I decided just to laugh.

Camden was covered in mud too but by the time this picture was taken he had already taken off his shirt!

Another shot of John covered in mud! Thankfully we had an extra pair of clothes in the car! It wasn't too much fun to clean up and I don't prefer for him to play in mud all the time BUT it was a fun little Friday adventure.... and something he is still talking about! Like I said, boys will be boys!

Speaking of Meryl.....

So I had been wanting to post this clip. This is from a new tv show I am watching called 'Modern Family.' I think it is so funny! I think on the first or second episode, they had this Meryl Streep reference. Ofcourse, I thought it was SO funny! So let me set the clip up.... the guy is Gay and LOVES Meryl Streep. He is a movie fanatic and is always bringing up things from certain movies. But what he says about Meryl is definitely something I would say!

My new obsession:

RYAN REYNOLDS!

OH, YES! This was definitely sparked by the movie 'The Proposal.' I have never really cared for him before and I always forget that he was that guy on 'Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place.' I have seen numerous movies that he is in but have never really given him a second thought. BUT NOW I love him so. He is very beautiful, don't ya think? There are some PG-13 pictures of him that I really wanted to put on here. He has a very nice body! And I am not a fan of the fact that he is married to Scarlett Johansson. What a waste. Anyway, just thought I would share my newest celebrity obsession. Don't worry, I still love Meryl, Emma, John, Jake, Kate, Reese, etc! :-)

Halloween!

Don't worry, Bella didn't mind wearing her costume after she had it on for a while. She had it on for about 6 hours on Friday and then ALLLLLLLLLL day on Saturday! As I mentioned before, I had people over on Halloween! Bella was a trooper. We had a fun night, even though it was a little hot. (Our heat had been on and once we turned the air conditioning on, it took too long to actually boot up so therefore we had an extremely hot townhouse all night).

Devon, Kathryn and Cara... they were greek goddesses and very beautiful!

Josh came for Halloween!!! That made me super excited!!

This is my friend Stephanie playing "Pin the face on the Mummy."

My sweet friend Cara. I love this picture of her. She will probably not enjoy that I put this on here though!

Funshine Carebear VS. Peter Pan

Kathy and I! I think I will frame this one!

Funshine + a sunflower!

My old roomie Ashley and I. She was a chicken.... I think her and Josh were the hottest (temperature wise) people at the party. I am sure you have noticed that it looks like we are all sweating in all the pictures! IT WAS HOT!

But it was a great Halloween!

Anderson turns 1!

This post is long overdue. Anderson (the son of one of my dearest friends) turned 1 on the 22nd of October. I cannot believe he is already 1!!! It seems like just a couple of months ago he was born! Anywho, he is one of my favorite kids in the entire world and like a nephew to me! The Browns, who I consider family, graciously allowed me to attend their family party for Anderson. I was honored and thrilled to be able to go to celebrate that sweet little boy!

This is Anderson getting excited about opening some gifts!

I took this picture for Ashley's mom since I had my camera in hand. It was too cute not to post! What sweet grandchildren she has!

Singing the Happy Birthday song to Anderson! He loved it.... SO CUTE!

These were his little froggy cupcakes I made him. They don't look very cute in this picture but they were cute in real life (or at least I thought so).

YUMMY.

Playing with his new toys!
