Another game was cancelled... the girls were bummed. Zach was bummed because his practice was cancelled as well.... we'll see we get to "PLAY BALL" tomorrow night. It's suppose to rain all week tho, so we will see.
I am thankful for the rain tho! As one person put it the other day, God is watering all our outside plants for us, so we don't have to!
So thank you God for the rain. :)

Baseball! TBall! Rain! OH MY!
The girls finally are getting to play their game tonight, I think, if the rain holds off. (They also get their jersey's tonight, they are more excited about that then they are about playing the game)
It's getting to the point that I don't know which is a reguraly scheduled game and which is a make up game! Zach's team have several to make up, too. This week he plays, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday nights with practice tonight. It is supposed to rain Tues, Wed and Thurs.
I am trying to not complain about the rain, too much, 'cause in July, we'll all be saying "It's soooo HOT! I wish it would rain" :)

friday and weekend happenings
On Friday, I went with Zach to his field trip to the OK Aquarium. They all had a great time and I enjoyed getting some time to spend with my son. I was a little concerned whenever I was assigned 4 boys to be in my group, but they all were very well behaved.
That evening, Zach's team had their first baseball game. The won 14-2. He played very well and is catching on to baseball very well, although, I think he is counting down until football. He really likes his baseball coach, so that really helps.
Saturday was a "hang out at home" day. The kids cleaned their rooms while I did things around the house.... as our "reward", we had a silly string fight out in the back yard and then after cleaning that up, we played a game of croquet.
Sunday, we went to the early service at church. We usually go to the later service but chose to go to the early one because Zach was going to the Tulsa Drillers game and had to be there at 12:30 for a baseball clinic. We decided that we should go to church so that Zach didn't get the idea that baseball is more important than church. So, after church, Troy went to work, the girls went with Uncle Travis and Elisabeth and Zach and I went to the Drillers game.... all had a good time except for Troy :)
It was a really fun day for Zach. He even won 2 tickets to see the KC Royals play!
Tomorrow, Troy and I are going with Ashleigh's Kindergarten class to the zoo.

Easter 2007
We had a wonderful Easter this year! For the past 20 years or so, we have had a family (and friends) Easter egg hunt and dinner at my Aunt's house in Collinsville. There is always too much to eat and way too many prizes but we all have a great time getting together (even though the weather on Easter was more like winter time.) At church that morning, we had a special speaker at our church. Miss America 2006, came to speak to us about all the crowns she has won over the years, but how they all pale in comparison to the crown that Christians get when they go to heaven.
Afterwards, she made herself available for people to meet her and get pictures made with her. Of course, Ashleigh wanted to meet her, so we stood in line and the girls got to meet her and have their pictures made with her....
Zachary didn't really care to much to meet her, especially after he found out where she was from.... Jenks.... (for those of you who aren't familiar with this area, Owasso and Jenks are rivals) He also wouldn't dare meet a "GIRL" willingly. hehe
Here are some other pics that we took during the day.

Update.....
Whew, it's been a long time since I posted!
We are all doing fine. The girls are playing on the same TBall team called Owasso Power. Ashleigh is really catching on to the game, fielding the ball well and even "took out the first basemen".... when Troy asked her why she ran her over, she said, "she was being mean to me and my team mates at the last game, so I took her out...." I was at practice with Zach during their game, so when Troy told me what she did and said, it was a little hard not to laugh... it's so against Ashleigh's character. Allie is doing okay for a 4 year old. She has finally figured out where first base is and that is where she is suppose to run when she hits the ball. At the first game, Allie ran across the pitcher's mound, to 2nd base and finally to 1st. I got my entertainment for the week.
Zachary is playing baseball for the 10 and under Owasso Reds. He was suppose to play a game last night, but it was cancelled for rain. He was really disappointed. He has another game scheduled for Friday. He is the starting right fielder. He was a little disappointed cause he wants to play first base, but Troy told him that it's better to be playing in the outfield, then being left out and not get to start the game at all. He seemed to take being a right fielder okay after dad told him that. I think he may be the back up 1st baseman, but I'm not sure, as they are still figuring out who works best where.
As far as me and Troy, we are doing fine. Troy is still enjoying his job and I am still staying at home with Allie. We put a contract on a house that has 5 acres with it, but haven't heard if the owner is going to accept our contract yet. The house is a repo and needs some minor inside cosmetic work, but it's on 5 acres, so we are willing to fix up the house so that we can have the land. The girls are already asking for a horse. We'll have to see about that. There is already a barn, runs, and an area fenced off that they used as a barrel racing and calf roping practice area. There is also a very small pond on the back corner of the property.
That's about it for now.... I'll try to update more often than once a month.
