Windows and Doors

So today was a great day.  It started a little slow but for a dreary Monday morning I was pretty proud.  We were on time so all is well.
I managed to get all of the laundry caught up today which was a huge load off my plate!  Now if I can keep it up I will be extatic. This week is going to be hectic so I am determined.  We will see if everything decides to be on my side. 
I also managed to get about 30 items on eBay while the boys were in school.  I have so many things to get listed and that list will just keep on growing so I have to get pretty structured on getting things done.   Hopefully most of it will sell, I have so many things that I have to get taken care of before we move and the extra cash would make it all possible.  Praying that it all works out.
The boys had great days at school which is always good news to my ears. 
We came home and they were super excited to see that I had gotten a few boxes.  They are relatively small, but they were perfect for trophies.  We have them packed up and ready to go.  It is awesome to see the boxes labeled and ready for the new house!  Hopefully we will be able to get a few more throughout the week. 
Brandon went by the house before he came to the ballpark and I am super excited to say that we had house wrap, windows and doors!  We are on our way folks!!!

John Michael had a baseball game so we headed out to get there.  They played great and won 21-3.  I was so proud of them all.  John Michael even got to play second for an inning and a half.  He was so excited!

Well, I hope that everyone has a great night!  Sweet dreams and know that you are in my prayers!

Go Barons!

Today we had our end of the season baseball party with Clay Recreation. It was at Region's Park. We spent the afternoon watching the Baron's play. It was a lot of fun and they won 4-1 which was even better. Danny caught a ball and was super pumped about that. Both boys got their trophies and were able to spend time with friends that they had made while playing ball. These friends can last a lifetime, I know I have some of those friends. We were able to spend time with some of the amazing people that we have come to know through baseball too.

Anyway the game was fun, the boys were great. Brandon and I had a good time. In fact I took John Michael to get a shaved ice and decided to get myself an adult slushie....mudslide to be exact and it was very good.

The boys cannot wait to go back and I cannot wait to take them back. Brandon is looking forward to it too, but hopes that it is a night game!

I really hope that the Baron's do not leave Region's Park! The City of Birmingham needs to learn that this is not a movie....just because you build it does not mean that they will come. Jefferson County has this same issue. Sad when reality is something that they do not have the ability to touch yet they were elected into office.

Brandon has been working on editing the Mass that he did Friday. I have been working on getting my pictures done. My personal ones were really behind, now I am up to today!

Well, the boys are exhausted so I am off to tuck them in. I do not plan on being very far behind them! I am glad to be caught up on my blog and my pictures, it takes a weight off especially with vacation coming up and there will be a lot of pictures, as always! Know that you are all in my prayers tonight. Whether you spent the day with the Barons, with family, with friends, or just by yourself enjoying some me time every second is truly precious! Enjoy them all!

April Fools Day

So today started off great and ended great...I am just exhausted, but it is all good.

Today I got up on time! YAY! And took Danny to school. Since John Michael and Brandon were off today I left them here to sleep in a little. We rarely get a chance to sleep in without anyone having to rush around so I figured that they would enjoy it. And they did.

I came home and worked on laundry and some more editing of the pictures from the play. Then it was time to get ready to meet up with Terri and get ready for the wedding we were shooting today. It was the prettiest simple wedding. I was so touched, which I have to admit I am at all weddings, I just Love them. It was such a happy time and the bride and groom were totally consumed with each other, which is always magical. They were such a fun and easy going couple and I cannot wait to get started on their pictures. Thank you Terri for asking me along! It was a blast!

The crazy thing about the house where the wedding was is I actually think that it is a house thatmy mom grew up playing at (her uncles) small world! I will show her the pictures and we shall see.

Well, I made it home with just enough time to change and get the boys (Brandon got Danny from school today) and then head to Danny's basketball party. It was a lot of fun. The boys and the parents had a small basketball game and it was hilarious. Then there was pizza, a cake (because seriously no party is complete without cake) and trophies. The boys won the Toy Bowl and were super excited to get their first place trophies. Thank you Coach Adam for a great season! Until next year!

Then off to the ballpark to pick up uniforms for John Michael's team and get Danny's from his coach. We also helped (well Brandon did) get the bounce houses ready for tomorrow. Opening Day here we come.

Well, I am off to bed. We have to be at the park and I am exhausted. I have a thousand things to do, but it is just not working out for me right now. Too tired!!! Before I go to bed though I will remember to include all of you in my thoughts and prayers! I also am praying for a successful opening day. The park's new president and his wife have put in so much time and all they ask is for the kids to enjoy. You two are amazing and so will this season!
