Backsplash

Today was not as productive as I would have liked, but it was not a total waste either.  I was able to get a few things on  a couple more boxes completed in the den.  There is so much to still get done and I am starting to feel like I make progress in one area and there is a lack of progress in two more.  I am determined to make this move as easy as possible, but that seems easier said than done some days.  Today was definitely one of those days that I feel overwhelmed.  I am hoping that tomorrow will be better.
The boys and I went to the new house where there was progress to be seen.  The backsplash is in and it looks so good!  It is slate and glass.  I love it!  I also sent the builder a list of things that we have foun wrong with the house in hopes that they can get taken care of ASAP so that our move in date is not put off.  Sometimes I feel like they just do not care, and in reality they definiely should start to care as we are so ready to call it our home.


Danny's had an All-Star cook out at the ballpark and it was so much fun.  They got medals and game balls, and played with water guns, played football, played kickball and of course a little baseball.  They had a blast and so did we.  I am so sad that it is over, but I am so ready for fall ball.  To Coach Rick and all of the coaches it has been so much fun and I truly thank you for everything and the time that you all took to work with Danny and all of the 8 year old all stars.  To all of the boys, you guys are amazing!

It's Over

So today was just a sad day.  We got up and had a quick breakfast and then got ready for the ballpark. 
We got there to find out that we were going to be facing Huffman.  They are a great team but so are we.  With dedication and consistency we could have won.  We had a player get hurt in the 3rd inning, where we had them 8-7.  With the player hurt our momementum and focus seemed to be lost.  I have to say this though.  Huffman is a class act team, with great parenets, boys, and coaches.  Thank you guys so much for being such a great team and I hope that you all go far this All Star season.  If we cannot I am so glad that it is a team with class and a team that leaves a positive impression on the ballfield!  We ended up heading home.  Which makes me sad.  I love baseball and this season has been so awesome.  I hate that it is over and now we head to 9-10 year old and kid pitch so fall ball here we come. 
We headed to the new house where we made a list of things that have to be fixed. What is so irritating is that some of this has needed to be fixed since the first week of May.  Anyway, it will all happen I hope sooner than later. 

We headed home and relaxed.  Moods were sour and so we did not do much at all.  We were all sad and in need of some relaxation.  Of course that is an area that I do not do well in.  I am so wound up that who knows when I will be able to relax.  Hopefully soon, but probably not.  Too many thoughts running through my head and too many decisions that have to be made, not to forget everything that has to be done.

Congratulations are in Order

So today has been crazy busy and that is putting it mildly. 
Brandon's Brother Brian got married today.  His wife Christen is a beautiful person inside and out and today she was truly radient.  The colors were so pretty.  Her dress was stunning.  Brian was handsome as ever.  Everyone looked great and the ceremony was truly beautiful.  They are an amazing couple and I cannot wait to see how amazing their life as husband and wife is.  It will be a great one.  We are very excited about Christen officially becomming a part of the family.  To you both we love you and are so happy for you.
Danny had a baseball game.  We are in the area tournament and we are playing in Corner.  Mom took the boys so that they did not have to miss the game and we could be at the wedding.  They played Hayden and they ended up losing.  Hopefully we will have it together tomorrow though and make it happen.  We have to come in 3rd to make it to State.  I know that we can we just have to play hard.  So tonight get some rest Cougars and be ready to work it tomorrow!  It is going to be hot....but guess what so is our team!

Driveway and Toilets

So today was a busy one.  The boys and I headed to Aldridge Gardens for two photo shoots.  I am always worried when there is more than one with the boys.  They usually do pretty good, but I know that they get bored.  These were both great sessions and the boys were a huge help!  Stay tuned to http://www.monicaannephotography.com/ and I will update it as soon as possible with all of the amazing shoots I have been on lately.
Since the boys were so amazing I took them to Krispy Kreme as a treat.  They love going inside and watching them make the doughnuts.  We went inside and each had one, of course we had to bring some home.  We even surprised Brandon and Nick with some at work.  Every once in a while I try to do something nice.
We headed home to get some work done.  Even though we did not get as much done as I hoped we made some more progress.  Tomorrow I am hoping to get more pictures for eBay.  I almost have everything listed that I have taken pictures of so it is time to get more pictures. 
Brandon got home and we headed to the new house.  He was putting the thresholds down while we were there.  We had a driveway and a sidewalk, I was a little sad that we did not get to put our hands in it.  We are going to make something though.  They had also put in the toilets, which is always good to see happen.  The fixtures for the sinks, baths, and showers were all in too.  So so excited to see all of the progress.  Hoping that the landscapers do not try to screw us.  We will see.


Danny had practice, it was relatively short so we headed to the store and then home.  Well, I am ready for bed.  I am looking forward to getting there before tomorrow morning!

Granite and Hardwoods

So today the boys and I worked hard on the house.  I pretty much have the kitchen packed up.  There are a few more things, and then obviously the things that I use everyday. 
We are almost ready to move the boys both into Danny's room.  Then we are going to completely pack John Michael's and use it to store boxes.  We are seriously hoping to bust our tails for the next few weeks so that we are ready and then some.
After Brandon got off we all headed to the house.  The granite countertops were down in the kitchen and they look so pretty.  Then the guys were there working on the floors.  The hardwoods look amazing.  I cannot wait to see them completed.  We still have a way to go but we are getting there.
Danny had practice tonight.  We missed 2 of our guys.  Hopefully everyone will make it tomorrow so we can really practice.  Practice went great though.  They practiced most of the time on hitting level ground balls. 

Well, it was a late night getting home which is why I am so late headed to bed.  Seriously I think I am seeing double already.  I hope that everyone has a great night.  Tuesday is packed for us and if the boys behave and have good attitiude tomorrow I have a surprise for them.  We will see.  Fingers croseed!

Third Place! Go Cougars!!!

So today is always a bittersweet day.  It is Father's Day.  Father's Day is always special because Brandon is an amazing dad.  It is a day that makes me miss my daddy so much.  He was amazing and truly my hero.  I know that he would be so proud of these boys and that he would love nothing more than spending his day with all of us, especially at the ballpark.  My dad was a huge part of me and I miss him so much.  There is a hole in my heart that was left when he left for Heaven, and while I know that he is happy and healthy there is still a very selfish part of me that wishes he was here.  A little chat and a hug would be amazing.  To my daddy and to my amazing husband Happy Father's Day! 
We spent our Father's Day at Huffman ballpark.  It was great. Our frst game was against CenterPoint.  We won 17-12. I  was so proud of the boys.  They played great and they are now 3rd.  Immediatly after game 1 we played Pinson again.  This is the same Pinson team we played Thursday night.  They won 20-12.  So we finished this tournament in 3rd, which is awesome.  I am so proud of all of these boys.  They played hard.  We do have one coach who seems to want Danny to hold the ball.  I understand he has not played with Danny before, but defensively Danny can make the plays.  Many catchers cannot and if he is paired with the right infield.  Sorry, I needed to vent.  I am over it sort of, my baby loves baseball and he truly believes that one of his coaches hates him and that is not the case.  Anyway.  I think overall our coaches are amazing.  When you see teams like the Pinson team, whose coach yells and cusses and argues with everything I again am so thankful that we are at Clay where overall the coaches want the boys to do well, but more than that they excel. 
We headed home and I have edited a little more and am about to head to bed.  I am exhausted, and I need to rest as this week is going to be non stop!  I am so ready though.  Regionals here we come! 

Day 2 District Tournament

This morning we got up and headed to the new house.  We needed to sign a change order because of the fifty cent balance that was there.  It sort of cracked me up when it appeared, but regardless it had to come off.  While we were there we headed to the house to see the finihed tile.  For the most part it looked pretty good.  The shower in our bathroom though was horrible.  Seriously I think they tiled it blindfolded.  They will fix it though.  This week we are supposed to get hardwoods, countertops, and a driveway so stay tuned to see how it all goes.  Our fireplace is so pretty though!!!
We headed to the ballpark from the house.  We played Pinson and won.  It was 27-10.  GO CLAY!!!  This put us in fourth and gauranteed our spot next weekend.  Now we play tomorrow to see where we go from 4th.  The boys played amazing and I was so proud of them all. 
We headed home and literally relaxed.  Well, I edited and did a little homework.  I also did laundry as the boys were wearing their white uniforms again since it is going to be hot.  I fell asleep editng at the computer so I fell behind on my blog.  Catching up right now though!


I did manage to get  few things on eBay and I am so excited about how well everything is selling.  Hoping that I can keep up listing and that they keep selling!

The Tournament Begins

So this morning we took the boys to their last day of VBS.  I cannot believe that the week is over.  They had a blast.  Today they got to dress up like superheroes.  All of our costumes are already packed but they made some things and we did still have John Michael's cape out.  I was able to get in before they were done and I gt a few pictures of them.  I am seriously considering starting the books for the teachers now for next year.  Maybe it will eliminate some of the problems that I had this year. 
While the boys were at school Brandon and I headed to the Botanical Gardens.  I had a photo shoot and it was a great one.  Stay tuned to the blog at http://www.monicaannephotography.com/ for more on this shoot.  I am really hoping to get it caught up soon.  I am slightly behind.  About six months to be exact.  Maybe one day! 
We had to go on a helmet hunt this afternoon to try to find three helmets as close to the team helmets as we could find but a little larger.  We had a few boy who the ones that we got would not fit.  Danny was one of those boys.  We finally found some and Rick got them.  YAY!  Thank you so much Rick.
We started the district tournament tonight.  We played the Pinson 1 team at Huffman.  This was a rough game.  We lost, which means one more and we are out.  I do not want All Stars to be over yet and I know that the boys do not either.  This means we have to seriously pull it together and show up tomorrow ready to go.  We have to come in at least 4th to go to regionals.  Praying that it happens.  I would love to see the boys really do great tomorrow.  A lot of rest and a little motivation will hopefully be the answer!  GO COUGARS!!!

Well, I have written a paper since we have been home and gotten a few more things on eBay.  I also had to get some laundry done so Danny would have sliding shorts for tomorrow.  Progress is happening all over the place!

Car Wash

Brandon was able to go into work a little later this morning mainly because he has to work late and OT is frowned upon.  Yet another reason I am looking for a job.  So if anyone knows of anything let me know.  It was nice we all had breakfast, he fried eggs and made toast.  Breakfast is his speciality!  I cleaned though.  Then he took the boys to Vacation Bible School on his way to work and I started to bust my rear end around the house.
All of the stuff I had piled up on the couch for eBay I got pictures of which means they are one step closer to eBay.  The box of books I had I got posted on eBay.  There are a lot more but one thing at a time.  I also got another box ready to come upstairs that has had pictures taken and I have a lot that needs pictures, but needless to say eBay and I are definitely working together right now.
I cleaned the den.  I did not worry about packing just about getting the stuff that I could donate bagged up before John Michael saw it all again.  I love my baby and I know that he loves his toys but we have so much and there is NO way that it can all come to the new house.  The funny thing is when they came home they did not even realize it so I think maybe I am in the clear.  I hope so anyway.  I know that I will find more, but this was definitely a start in the right direction.
After Vacation Bible School the boys helped me clean out the van.  I promised them that they could wash it by themselves if they helped me get everything out of it.  Considering most of the stuff was theirs I felt like I was being more than fair.  We have already packed most of the car washing stuff, but a water hose and a little Dawn go a LONG way with two boys!  They did a great job too and had so much fun.  I know I used to love washing the cars for my mom and dad so I thought that they would and they are getting older.  It was cute. 



W came in and rested and then headed to baseball practice. 
We went by the new house on the way to practice.  They were working and it was on the floors.  We had linoleum (sp?) in the laundry room and the tile in the bathrooms and kitchen.  They were still working on the grout upstairs, but it was happening.  I cannot tell you guys how much I love seeing progress. 
It wa cut short because of the lightening but the rain seemed to stay away.  At least from the house, I am not sure if it ever rained at the park or not.  Our tournament starts this weekend and hopefully we will continue on after this.  I would love to see the boys go to state, it would be really awesom t go further, but state would be amazing!  By the way if you want to come out and cheer on the 8 year old Clay Cougars come to Huffman ballpark at 7:30 tomorrow night!

Just Late

So today I was just late.  Everywhere and with everything.  It was crazy so I am about to head to bed, late as usual but actually a little eralier than yesterday.  Maybe tomorrow will be better.
So this morning I was up and moving, I started editing a little before time to get the boys up and I fell asleep at the computer.  Yep, that should tell me something.  I woke up with 10 minutes to get the boys ready and to VBS.  Well, they got up and moving fast which was nice.
We got to VBS about 30 minutes late, which meant they missed the puppets and were not happy with me.  Tomorrow we will be back on track.  They did have a great time and that is awesome!  I love seeing them having fun with friends and growing closer to Jesus.  It is just amazing.
While they were at VBS I headed to Greystone for a photoshoot.  I love newborns, but boy do they give me baby fever.  It will pass though.  The shoot went great and if you keep up with my blog at http://www.monicaannephotography.com/ you will be able to learn more about it very soon.
After VBS we headed home for a quick lunch and to change clothes and we headed to Deborah's to swim with Kimy and Morgan.  It was nice to get a few hours of relaxing and friends as hectic as this week and today have been.  The boys had a blast, which is what I love.  Doing fun things make the summer much more enjoyable for all of us.
We headed to the new house and they had sanded again.  The security system guys had been there, which is definitely a plus.  I am hoping that they are coming back though because the wires they left out are not too pretty.  The french doors for mom's sitting room and our bedroom had also been delivered.  They were in the garage, but at least they were there.  The door for the HVAC unit was also in the garage.  Progress no matter how small is progress.  Of course there is still a list of things to do, so we will see what happens there.  Hopefully July 16th is still going to happen.  I would love it even more if it was sooner.
After going to the house we headed to practice.  It was a long one, but a good one.  With the district tournament this weekend we need to be ready.  I am so ready and I hope that we win.  I would love to come in first but I definitely want us to continue on.  District, Region, State and World Series.  How awesome would that be!

Shelves

The boys went to Vacation Bible School again today and again today they had a blast.  Danny was so excited because he got to be a puppetteer.  I am so glad that he did too because he was hoping that he would.  He said he actually had control of 2 puppets!  Go my little man.  They also made necklaces, but again Danny wants me to be surprised at the end of the week.  John Michael showed his off though.
We had several errands to go do after I picked them up so we rushed around and got that out of the way, which was a definite plus.  We even went to Target and got Danny a canvas print for his room. 
We came home and worked some in the den, and then I got dinner ready so that as soon as Brandon got home we could eat and then head out. 
We went to go the new house where there were lots of little surprises.  We have closet shelves but not in mom's linen closet so we will have to find out what the deal is there. It is all good though I am going to write a list tomorrow of all the things that we have noticed that need to be fixed.  Preferably sooner than later, but I am learning that later seems to be what they understand. We also had up towel bars and holders and  toilet paper holders. So progress was definitely something that could be seen.  It is getting exciting but is also slightly frustrating.



Danny had practice and they did really well.  The whole team was there, and they were ready to go, which was nice!

Handrails

So today was a great day.  I had a canceled photo shoot but that happens and she had things come up with her children which is something I completely understand and then some. 
The boys and I worked hard around the house, we are determined to make this as easy of a move as possible.  We are getting there.  I have a new daily routine, checking craigslist for boxes. So if any of you have boxes I would greatly appreciate them!
The boys and I headed to the new house to see what had been done and there was a lot!  We have trim, which is awesome.  My favorite part was the fact that the stair treds were down and the handrails were up!  It was the first time I was able to head upstairs without feeling like I was going to fall!  YAY!!! 

Danny had a game at Springville.  They beat us, but we played pretty good.  We have to get the team acting like a team and we will be unstoppable.

Practice Game

So today was
We started off by heading to the Botanical Gardens for a photo shoot.  It was  great shoot and the boys were pretty good.  Watch the blog at http://www.monicaannephotography.com/ for more on it.
When we were done there we headed to St. Francis to try to deliver the photo books.  Mrs. Day was there so she was able to get hers but Miss Ghossein had left for the summer.  I will call her this week and figure out when she will  be in town so that she can get hers.  Next year I am going with a new company I cannot believe how many issues I had getting these books here.  I am also going to start working on them in August when school starts!
Then we headed to KMart.  We needed to get two large rubbermaid boxes for all of our camping stuff.  We have so much that we got from my dad and having somewhere to permanantly store it will make camping much easier.  Right now it is stored in about three places.
We got home and got to work.  I got all of the larger pictures packed up.  There is litterally one picture left on the wall upstairs.  It is exciting and sad.  I also got most of the linens packed up, leaving out a little to get us by.  I also got comforters and pillows packed.  John Michael's room is being taken over by boxes. 
Danny had a practice game tonight against the 7 year old All Star team.  The boys won, which is good since they are the 8 year old team.  They were also on fire.  Hopefully we will keep it up since we have a game against Springville tomorrow night.
Well, we are home and I am heading to bed.  I hope that everyone has a great night.  I am so ready for tomorrow.  Hoping to increase the productivity and ready to go by the new house!!!

Cabinets

So I have to say today was great!  Progress was happening everywhere.
The boys and I had to run a few errands, we needed some more packing tape.  This is not something that I recomend running out of when you are selling stuff on eBay and moving.  It makes things a little hectic.  We also went to Dairy Queen for a little summer treat.  We all need them from time to time.
I managed to get the ordering counter cleaned out, which means all of my baking stuff is packed away!  We also got a few of the desk drawers cleaned out.  Some things are packed up some things will be able to be seen on eBay soon.  I also got one of John Michael's dresser drawers cleaned out.  I am loving progress.
Brandon got home and we headed to the new house.  There was siding up, the brick was finally done, and a lot had been delivered.  It looked like all of the interior doors, the trim, and maybe even the stair tread.  What made my day though was walking in and there being kitchen cabinets!  The kitchen and the pantry look awesome!!!  They look so good and I am so so excited.  I am so ready to be able to call it home. 
After we left the house we headed to the ballpark for practice.  I dropped the boys off and headed to Tami's house.  Her and Kevin had some boxes.  I cannot thank them enough for these and I cannot wait to get them put to good use tomorrow.


It has been a wonderful day and I am so ready for bed.  I cannot wait to see what happens at the house tomorrow!

Baseball and Wedding Bells

Yep, this is a pretty awesome Saturday recipe.  At least in my opinion.  Two of my favorite things.  I do hate that I had to miss some of Danny's game, but he knows that I had to go to work and he was okay with it.
This morning started with  the tournamanet at Moody Ballpark.  We were playing Pell City and that one was a Win.  17-0.  The boys really had some momentum after that.  They played again but not for 2 hours, which was too much lag time I guess.  I  had to leave and did not get to see the whole game, but they had fun, even though they did not win.  I was super proud of them.  This Moody tournament was all about catching up with people that I have not seen in a while.  Candice, Derrick, and Leigh Anne it was great to see you all. 
I had to get to a wedding this afternoon which is why I missed the game, but it was the perfect wedding.  I am so ready to blog about it.  The church was one of the prettiest I have ever seen and I think it was because of the storybook look that it had.  The bride was stunning!  It was a great day and to Brandon and Amanda congratulations!  You two are amazing and your story is one that everyone should hear.  I was blessed to be a part of your day, thank you!

Go Cougars!!!

So today was a crazy one, but it was great.
My mom had to have some proceedures done.  She did great though and other than being sore she seems to be doing great.  Hopefully she will get a good nights sleep tonight.  The doctor did tell her that the Diet Mounain Dews neede to go, we will see if that happens.  It is not the first time she has heard that.
I had a photo shoot at a doctor's office.  They need new office photographs for their website and other materials.  It was really great and I was able to meet some great people which is always something I am thankful for.  Watch for more on the blog at http://www.monicaannephotography.com/
We had to run by the new house to check on progress to see that there was none.  It is so unnerving just waiting, I am soready to be able to call it home. 
We headed to the ballpark for game number 2 in the tournament.  We won!  I was so proud of the boys and I know that they were excited!  It was great to get a win under us.  Now to get ready for Saturday!

May Comes to A Close

So I woke up this morning with a serious tummy ache.  In fact I am headed to bed with it.  I do not know what the deal is but I do know that I am so over it.
Brandon did not have to be at work until after 8:00 this morning so we decided that we would all go to Legend's for breakfast.  I was not in any place that made food look good but I did eat a piece of toast.  Maybe something is finally correcting itself with my body and soon I will start to lose weight again.  Who knows, and I am sure not about to get my hopes up, but just thinking of possibilities.  I guess I will have to go to the doctor at some point.  That requires time and money, neither of which is something I can spare at the moment. 
I had two photo shoots after breakfast so we headed to Morris Avenue and then to the RailRoad park.  Both shoots were great and I am looking forward to working on them.  In fact I am working on them now.  I love photography and I wish that there was a way that I could greate a larger profit margin and continue to do it full time, but the more I look and pray and think ithe more it appears that heading back to the daily grind is the best way for me to go.  If you have a few minutes say a prayer for me, I have started to apply to positions and I know that whatever is meant to happen will. 
We started a tournament at Moody tonight.  It was definitely not a good night for the Clay teams.  I am hoping that tomorrow night will be better.  I am also hoping that we can pack the stands with fans so if you are close come on out and cheer for the Clay Cougars.  It would mean a lot.  We did get to see a lot of people that we have not seen in a while.  We also got to see Danny's best buddy playing, which really made his night.
Well, we were super late and I am glad that it looks like the severe weather is not coming a so I am headed to bed.  Good bye May I will see you again in 2013.  I cannot believe that it is June.  Everything seems to be moving in fast forward and I have to admit I would love to have a few more minutes to enjoy everything.

Seriously?!

So today started off pretty good.  We were spending the day at home working on getting ready for the move.  We have so much to get done.
We worked pretty hard in Danny's room and were able to get all of his desk stuff packed up, which may not seem like much but it definitely was huge.  We also got a good bit thrown away, a good bit for donations and one thing to try to sell on eBay.  Maybe we will get his room done next week.
We also worked in mine and Brandon's room a good bit.  I was able to get the junk drawer cleaned out.  I was also able to get the dresser cleaned off which was great.  Just the little knick knack stuff that takes so much time.  We also packed a good bit of Brandon's clothes, at least his winter clothes. 
Progress was definitely something that was happening today and that is always something that I need to be able to say.
We had practice tonight.  They focused on fielding.  This is a great group of boys and I hope that they make some progress and get some wins under them.  I know that they can do it.  We have a tournament in Moody starting tomorrow and I would love to see them go far in the brackets. 
So the seriously is just about the crap that seems to keep popping up.  I am probably going to be headed back to work soon to try to eliminate at least the money portion of the problems.  I need more good news than anything else!  I love working fro myself but the increase in gas and printing has me barely breaking even and some photo shoots I am actuallu falling behind.  Just going to be spending some time concentrating on what needs to happen.

Tired

So today started with a photo shoot at the Botanical Gardens.  I love heading there, but HOT was the word for today, especially at 11:00.  The boys were EXCELLENT though and for that I am so so thankful.  We did see a bunny there, which I prefer VERY much over the snakes that have been appearing everywhere.  The shoot was great and I cannot wait to tell you all more about it!
We had a few more errands to run, the post office was high on that list.  I am so thankful for the fact that so much is selling on eBay.  I just need some time to get some more listed and some more ready to go to the Post Office.
We also packed a lot of things today.  We got most of the DVDs, and even most of the pictures off of the wall.  I cannot believe how empty the house looks.  It is sad, and exciting all at the same time.
Danny had practice tonight, which ended up just being batting practice, but it is what it is.  I am loving All Stars and I know that my baby is too which means so much to me.

The Days of Summer

So today was the first day of summer for me and the boys!  Brandon is also off today so we had a lot on the todo list, but it was all fun.
Brandon started by going to the new house to find something out about the window in the bedroom that does not work, the brick and why it is not done right, and the island.  The island they are moving about 5 inches, even though I wanted at least a foot preferrably 2.  The window they are waiting on the window guys and the brick they said that they would correct.  We shall see how it all goes.
The boys and I headed to Alabaster for a photoshoot.  It was a gorgeous family and a very fun life filled little boy!  I love my job!  The boys had a blast paying on the playground and watching the baby geese.  I was glad to start summer out with a fun activity. 
We headed home and we all lounged before we started to run. I was able to get some more pictures edited for clients, and I also got some more things on eBay.
We headed to the house to check on progress.  The sheetrock is done and ready for mud and they were finishing up the front brick.  Still no brick on the back though.  Seriously guys let's get our shit together.  The pictures you see are the boys in their rooms!  Now we are just waiting on the guys to mud it, I would love for them  to be there tomorrow.  We shall see.  I am hoping that they can continue this push, this is so important to me. 



Then we headed to Morris for the second All-Star game.  I was super excited to see Terri, Steven, and Alex.  Thank you guys so much for coming to cheer us on.  We did not win, but the calls were REALLY bad. Obviously these guys are from Morris, that is who we played tonight.  The single elimination tournament starts for us at 10:00 in the morning.  Praying that we do well.  I would love to see these boys win this invitational and I know that they can do it.  GO CLAY!!!
