Memorial Day Weekend Fun!

For the second year in a row, we spent Memorial Day Weekend, in California. Madison's softball team was playing in a tournament there. It's a 3 day tournament, but it allows time for other things. The best day of the weekend, maybe the whole year, was spent at Laguna Beach. The kids played in the ocean. The grown ups chilled on the sand. We also, played some volleyball and cooked hot dogs and smores over an open fire. Yummy! As far as softball goes, her team took 1st place! They went 7-0 for the weekend. Madison had a great weekend. We were very proud!

HAPPY FOR SMALL THINGS!

I love my new coffee mug that I picked up at Albertsons. I love glass coffee cups, but the only one I have is so small. I noticed this one today while grocery shopping. It makes me smile, just a little bit. Kind of weird?

MY BODY HURTS!

Well, here we go again. Another attempt at living a healthier lifestyle. I bought some new workout videos, and am trying to eat better. The concept from the infomercial, is that in 6 weeks, I will look like the lady in the picture. Other than the dark hair, I kind of doubt it. However, I assume, that if I do these workouts everyday, I will look like a better me atleast! Today, was my 3rd workout, and I am dying. Ya know the sore when it hurts to sit on the toilet. I hate that kind of sore. It's my fault for not working out since last summer. I was kind of on a roll last summer, working out together with Charles. But then, school started, and I left the workouts out of my routine. So here we go again. Wish me luck ladies!

ANOTHER BUSY WEEK!

Mikelle had multi-cultural day at school last week. She decided to dress Hawaiian. I thought it was a good idea, because she looked so stinkin' cute!
Last week my CSN team had our end of the year team bbq. We give out all of the awards, and say our goodbyes for the summer. I usually make something crafty for the players to remember the season by. This year I made little plaques with their number. Maybe you can kind of see them in this picture.

The next day, I went on a field trip with Miah's 4th grade class. We went to a wax museum, at the Venetian Hotel. Here are a few of the pictures we took. When softball ended 2 weeks ago, I thought life was going to slow down a bit. Yeah right! Then it wouldn't be the Anthony house!

BUSY WEEKEND!

On Friday afternoon, I went to Mikelle's classroom for mother's day tea. It was a very sweet time. All of the kids sang some sweet songs, and served us moms with manners! I felt very loved, by my sweet Mikelle, and also very proud.

On Friday eve. Miah and Mikelle had closing ceremonies for their softball teams. Basically, it's when they all get their trophies, and bbq and have fun. It was actually a fun night together for the whole Anthony Family.

Next we left on Saturday morning, and headed for Cerritos, CA. for Madison's softball tournament. The Lil' Rebels won 4 games and lost 1. Madi had a fantastic weekend. She hit the ball extremely well, and also played good defense. She is always leading her team in cheers, and makes me very proud.

When the big sisters are playing on the field, the lil' brothers and sisters play together. They are all thick as thieves. They are practically like brothers and sisters. It's cute. I loved spending mothers day with my family. The only two people missing were my mom, and Nanny. They are so far away in Washington. I missed them both very much. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! I LOVE YOU BOTH LOTS!

Tom Cruise celebrates 25 years in film!

So just for a minute, let's just forget some of the "weird stuff" about Tom and just think about the many movies he has made over the years. When looking at the list, I have forgotten about some of them. He was on Oprah for the last two days. Now as far as Oprah, man she is definitely out there with all this New Earth stuff, but I am sure if the guest is interesting, or it's a makeover show (my favorite), I might watch it. You don't have to agree, that's just me. So back to TC, that's what his friends call him ya know. Let me list the many movies he has been in. Taps, The Outsiders, Risky Business, All the Right Moves, Legend, Top Gun, The Color Money, Cocktail, Rainman, Born on the 4th of July, Days of Thunder, Far and Away, A Few Good Men, Mission Impossible, Jerry McGuire, Mission Impossible II,strong> and lots of more recent ones, that I haven't seen. I think my most favorite is Top Gun. I mean, c'mon we all loved him in the pilot gear, with the short hair. The beach volleyball scence! I was young, leave me alone. Now, I think oh my gosh, he is so short! So just wondering if everyone has a favorite TC movie?
