Baseball is a family affair!

Get this
Nick had baseball try outs the other day, He is on his friend's team from school. His friends dad is the coach, Pete and my dad are assistant coaches and I am team mom.
We found out Maddie was old enough to play tee-ball (and we think she is going to be the athlete in the family) so there was no hesitation to sign her right up! So the coaches for her team are my dad as head coach and ME!!! as assistant! I am about as coordinated as a chipmunk with 2 left paws! and wouldnt see a fly ball until it hit me in the head!! so it should be quite interesting! Thankfully they are all 4 and 5 years old so hopefully they won't realize one of their coaches doesn't know how to play :)
Maddie will be the Florida Marlins and Nick is the Diamondbacks.
Maddie starts practice on Monday (right after dance class) not real thrilled about that but that was the only day left to sign up for. It will be fine and I will be sure to post some pics. She is going to look sooo cute in her tee ball uniform, her pink and black cleats and hot pink helmet (with a hole in the back for her ponytail!!)
All for now!

Vegas

Pete and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary in 2007. It was the best! He totally surprised me with a trip to Vegas with my best and oldest friends. The weekend was one surprise after the other. We had so much fun and I was so touched that everyone went to so much trouble to surprise me (and believe me I was totally surprised) Here are some pix from the weekend.

Pics from Nick's 1st grade end of the year.

These pics of me and Nick are from his 1st grade end of the year so they are a few months old but it was pointed out to me that there are not any pic of me on this blog, so I put the one from 1993 but then was told that did not count since it was 100 years old. So here ya go girls..(you know who you are (grin grin). these are only like 6 months old... I love the 1st pic where I am looking at Nick. That was not a picture we posed for. I think you can see how proud I am of him and how much I love that kid.

Nicks invention

All of the students at Nick's school had to create an invention for the invention fair. Nick invented a tube for toothpaste that would dispense the perfect amount of toothpaste to eliminate globs of toothpaste on the sink. His idea was to sell the tubes to toothpaste manufacturers (ie Colgate, Crest etc) He came up the idea all on his own. Pete and I helped him but he did a lot of the work himself. Here are some pic we took.

The Good Old Days!

Pete will prob shoot me if he sees I posted this ancient pic of us. I think this was taken back in 93 or 94 at Trish's house. Back then Pete had longer hair than I did :) I still had the curly perm thing going. After 2 kids and 10 years of marriage we dont look that young anymore :) but we still dig each other.
