Riley!!!!

Well, since the Stars made it to game 6, I got to hang out with Riley for a few hours on Saturday. She was in a great mood and had lots of laughs, smiles, and snuggles for Aunt Traci and Uncle Cory. It was a fun time!

We started the evening out with some play time on the floor...Riley has the infamous Fisher Price stacking rings, and she was very excited to remove all the rings and play with the post. Fun times.

Apparently this is Riley telling her Aunt Traci to ask permission before taking photographs. Oops!!!

Yummy!!! I love my home-made acorn squash...it's my favorite!

Know what else is my favorite??? Uncle Cory letting me suck my thumb AND have my blankie that I'm pretty sure is supposed to stay in my bed!

I think Riley likes it when Aunt Traci and Uncle Cory come over!!!! We really had a great evening with Riley...I can't wait until the next time we get to kick the parents out and have some fun!

Just saying "hi"

Not a lot to report...but a lot going on at the same time. What a paradox!

I am super excited about two events in my world:

1. Relay for Life is only 10 days away and my team is doing AMAZING!! We have exceeded my expectations and continue to adjust our goals, so that is wonderful. Check out the link at the top of the page to see our site.
2. The 3 Day is coming!!! I am all signed up and ready to go. Training is coming along and I am recruiting members for my team! I went to a Focus Meeting last weekend and am so inspired and charged up about this event....please visit my site and keep tabs on my team and donate to the cause because I am SICK OF CANCER!

Cory has been doing more 5k walks and he absolutely loves it, so be sure to check out his blog for progress updates and stuff. We are still working on weight loss and eating healthy, and these events are definitely helping us with that adventure.

Aside from some car trouble and minor events in the daily grind, life is great and we are great. I sure hope you are experiencing the same good fortune that we are...and if not, let me know so I can send a few prayers up on your behalf!!

Here's to the good times,

Let's Go Rangers!!!

Ahhh....isn't that sign refreshing!!!?? Finally, the Ballpark name has been restored...bye bye Ameriquest, hello Ballpark!!! How great is it that the signs are posted for Opening Weekend? Well, in my opinion, it's absolute greatness. The boys of summer are back, and we were there to welcome them! The Rangers home opener was this weekend, and I couldn't have been more excited to go. Oh there are many reasons: baseball is back and that is beautiful, the opener was the Rangers and the BoSox...my two favorite teams, and well...its just baseball time which equals a lot of fun for me and my crew. Ahhhhh...life is good.

Me and Lindz froze our butts off for Opening Night! As you can see below, the high temperature for our evening of baseball was a balmy 37 degrees...brrrrrrr!


Our boy Hank had a good night...a few nice plays, a few decent hits, and as always, a very nice physique!!! Glad to see you Hanky!

The Rangers picked Sammy Sosa up this season, which is pretty cool...I mean it's good for building a fan base, but me, I'm loyal to my Rangers without the big names. As a cool side note, I snapped this picture to capture Sosa as a Ranger and to catch a nice shot of Jason Varitek, the BoSox catcher, who is also a Crew Favorite (there are more pictures of Varitek waiting for you Fuzzer!!!)!! Lucky for me, Sosa smashed it out of the park on this pitch!

It was a beautiful series of baseball moments on Saturday night. We had some ballpark fare and savored the sights and sounds of the game...and eagerly looked at the schedule to plan for our next series of games to attend.

Let's go Rangers!!! Your loyal fans are back.

It's nice that we live so close and that I got to go by her office today and deliver some birthday cheer...it was fun to share her day. Tomorrow Erika and Riley are coming over and we are taking Grandma Dawn out for a girls birthday lunch, so I will try and snap a few pictures and post those.

Happy day,
