Wordful Wednesday

Well, my daughter is going back to school today. Of course I will miss her, but I am also VERY excited for her! She is living her dream, after all. She is about to begin her 3rd year in The Marshall School of Business at USC! We are a TOTAL Trojan family! To help her prepare to, uh, miss me, I cooked a few of her favorite meals this past week! ;)

Wednesday: Macaroni and Cheese!

Yes, I am reading while stirring the sauce! I could not put down The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society!

Thursday: Tostadas and Spanish Rice! (and the beans are NOT from a can!)

My girl, may she study hard and get our money's worth!!! ;)

Toodles,

This is Scooter. I'm sure I've posted pictures of him before, but he's just so DARN CUTE that I can't help myself!


Yup, that's right, strike a pose!


Last night we were "reading" together (I was reading, he was sleeping) and Frank takes this picture of us. Notice my insanely cool OpenPage book cover. It conveniently holds the book/pages open while you read. I sell them at my book exchange and on my website, Terrace Books. Customers love, love, love them! ;)

FOOTBALL BEGINS

My son plays football (he is visible in the 2nd pic, white t-shirt and red shorts). It is a grueling sport for a kid, he has played since he was seven years old. He loves it. Official practice began Monday night, the famed "hell week" is going on now. They run, run, and run some more. Next week they get their pads, then they will hit, hit, and hit some more!

My All-Star, again!

As you know, I am so proud of my boy. And I LOVE watching him play baseball! In this photo the team is praying before a big game. Frankie got to say the prayer, he is to the way left of the photo.

As for the game, well, they lost. Our baseball season is officially over ::sniffle:: Yes, I did shed a few lonely tears as the last out was made, not because our boys lost, but because another season is over. I look at his teammates and silently pray for each and every one of them, that God keeps them safe from harm and that they all grow up to be loving, responsible men. Being a Team Mom allows me to have a special bond with the boys, I'm at every practice and sometimes I feel like I'm a mom to the whole team! :) I miss them already and can't wait for next season!

My All-Star

In the first picture Frankie is putting up the tent for the all night "practice." (I KNOW!) The second picture shows me and Frankie after their first win last night (woo-hoo!). The last picture is of Frank and Frankie, coach and player together after a big win! Thanks to all the fans who came out to support us in our first tournament game. Our stands were overflowing with parents, grandparents, aunts/uncles, cousins, and friends. (BTW, have I mentioned that I just LOVE baseball?) :D

A New Baby!!!
Olivia Rose was born on Monday, June 29, 2009. In the first picture you see she is being held by long-time friend, Sally. The second photo shows Tina and Olivia. In the third picture you see my oldest daughter, Darlene, admiring the newborn. We are so excited to welcome Olivia Rose into our family of friends. We have been best friends with parents, Joe and Velma, for many, many years. Congratulations to the new parents and may God bring you many blessings with your brand new, beautiful baby girl, we love you!!!

My son as a catcher. I can't say enough how much I love to watch him play sports. He is so confident and happy on any field. I've seen him grow from a tiny t-baller to this all-star level! I was so proud of his catching abilities that blossomed this season. It was his FIRST season as a catcher and you would hardly know it! I tell you, he is a natural, love you son!

My kids at our favorite place.

Wordful Wednesday

This was awesome blossom! The Spirit of Troy crashing Latino Business Student Association's gala dinner! (Okay, so they got paid, but it was still cool!) I seriously got goosebumps! Sorry the pic is so small, my lovely daughter has not sent me any of her's yet, I had to copy this off her FB page!
