Last night was Heather's last season game. She did great-she hit the ball every time she got up to bat and played great at 1st base. In the final inning a team mate told her that if she hit the ball into the out field she had a treat for her. Of course Heather said I cant hit it that far. Well guess what....


she hit it into the out field and got a double and two players in. You should of seen the smile on her face when she got to second base. One of her team mates got the hit on video which was great because Heath missed the game. Now lets hope she can hit like that in the playoffs that start on Monday.

Theresa's News

I thought I would let everyone know about Theresa's news. There is a leadership camp in New Durham and the PYW picks two kids each year to represent PYW at the camp. Theresa has been chosen. The fee will be fully paid by a scholarship and the PYW. The camps cost is just about $800 dollars. Theresa will attend the camp and then bring back what she learned and use it in the community and with in the PYW.

ON that note I do not think that I ever let everyone know that Julia and Theresa were chosen for the PYW CAN program. The program is to promise not to do drugs, drink, or smoke. They have recieved a special card that entitles them to discounts and free items at buisness in the town. For example the movie store if they rent 2 movies they get one free, and a 2 liter bottle of soda with a purchase of pizza. It also allows 4 half price field trips with the PYW and special trips for PWY CAN members only. They have monthy meetings on the pressure of drinking and drugs.

I love my girls!!

Another exciting weekend of softball

Saturday began with Heather's game in New Durham. I went to her game while Heath took the other two to their game. Heather played catcher for 2 innings and did great. She got up to bat and hit the ball strong sending it into the out field. She made it to 3rd base before the team got 3 outs. The next time up to bat she got walked. After 2 innings of catching she played 1st base. In her level if one team is ahead by 10 runs the game is over so at the bottom of the 3rd inning New Durham had 15 and we had only 5 so they called the game. The 3 innings took one and 1/2 hours to play. Julia and Theresa played against Raymond which is a very good team. It was a double header and they lost both games. Today Julia and Theresa had another double header in Lebanon. The team did really well winning both games. The first game was 5-4. They held Lebanon with no runs up until the 7th inning then they brought in 4 runs. It was a very exciting game and the last inning kept us on our toes causing my heart to pound. The Umpire got hit 3 times in the face and thank goodness he had a mask on. He however needs a new mask because they caused him pain each time. The second game was really good as well and kept us at the edge of our seats. There were a lot of foul balls and one of those foul balls broke a window on a SUV. I do not think the driver of that car will park anywhere near a field again. The sad thing is the car was not parked to close to the field. We won the second game as well 12-10. Julia got a hit in and made it to 1st base. She stole to 3rd base. On her way in to home she got tagged out because she did not slide into home. She needs to work on the sliding. Julia says that she is afraid to slide because of her hip. I of course told her that we could bring a screw gun with us to games to screw the screw back in if something happens. Julia did not think that was to funny. Theresa assisted in a few outs during both games also.

It was a great softball filled weekend and will begin again next weekend. Heather has a game on Saturday against Chichester at 2 then Julia has a allstar game against Chichester at 6. Then Julia and Theresa have another double header on Sunday in Epsom against Lebanon again.

Dr Visit

Well Julia loves to give me grays. You know that screw in her hip well it had to have a x-ray last night. Julia decided that she would like to kick her sister because she was upset with her. It did not work out so well and her leg came up pretty high and she thought for sure that her screw moved. Of course when ever she has injury to her right leg she has to have a x-ray to make sure that it did not move. Well good news it did not, bad news she strained a muscle so she will have to sit out the game today. On the way to the hospital we had a discussion about Karma. I let Julia know that that was her bad karma coming back at her.

Graduation

June 5, 2009 my Enez Nicole will be graduating from High school. It is hard to believe that 17 years ago I held this precious girl in my arms. Yes I let her go from my arms to have a better life than I could give her and that was accomplished. She has grown up to be very strong and beautiful young lady. I am very sad that I will not be there watching her walk on stage to get her diploma that she has worked so hard for. She will be in my thoughts today as she is every day and I hope that someday I will be able to meet her again and hold her in my arms as I once did many many years ago. After graduation Nicole will be getting a full time job to hold her over until she goes off to boot camp. Yes boot camp, Nicole has joined the US Navy and will be heading to boot camp in December. Nicole is interested in going to boot camp before December and if a job opens up she will head out early. Congrats Nicole I am proud of you.

Theresa did not end up wearing the dress we got but she still looks beautiful. Here are some pictures that she took at the dance. She had a great time.
