The snow is oh so marvelous, except when it keeps you from the family that you love and miss so much. Merry Christmas to everyone!
It was a busy weekend of softball for our family. On Saturday, the day began with Madison's double header at 9 & 10:30. Then I had 2 games. We played my alma mater, UNLV & SUU. That lasted from 10-5. Then we headed over to the third field of the day to watch Miah's double header. Her team played at 6 & 7:30. So basically we were at the softball fields from 7:30 am til' 9pm. Yesterday, I had 2 more games, and Madi played 4 more. Madi was a pick up player this weekend for "Code Red". She played in 4 games with them, at the 16-U level. She is scheduled to begin practicing this week with "Rage", because they have asked her to be a pick up player for the next couple weeks. Well yesterday, after Madison's last game with Code Red, the coach from Rage came up and asked Madi if she wanted to play in their last 2 games of the day. (Now she could only do this because it was just a "friendly round robin" with local teams. Of course Madi said sure. She did fantastic. She hit 5-6 in the last 2 games. The coach came up to me afterwards and said of course we don't want to put any pressure on her, just a little...as she stretched out her arms...lol! Code Red actually asked Madi to join their team on a full time basis as well. I am happy for Madi. It's good to feel wanted. And she should!
As far as UNLV softball goes. They are going to be good this year. All of their key players are healthy. They have so many juniors and seniors, who are ready to get it done. On Saturday, we competed decently with them. Sunday was a different story. They played SUU before they played us and we sat and watched them just kill the ball. They scored about 15 runs with tons of homeruns. Well let's just say that they continued that same hitting right into our game. In the first inning they had a 3 run homer, and a grand slam before we had an out!!
Can you tell my face that this lobster is really freaking me out? Well, it was and I did not try it. My Aunt actually had a whole lobster for each and every person. The table was all dolled up for the occasion. Everyone but me, thought it was the greatest meal ever.
Nanny couldn't wait to dig in!
Allison bbq some chicken breast for me, and I was as happy as can be!
