The Ol' Ladys' Still Got It!!!

Went to "Watch" Kayden play softball last night - a rec league over in Laketown.  He was helping out the senior team since they were short of players...  They ask if I could help if they didn't get a 10th player so what was I suppose to say?  Alas and alack, the 10th showed up.  So bottom of the 1sst inning the opposing team hollered and ask if I would hit for them since they only had 9.  Once again, what was I supposed to say?  Now the composition of our senior team has 2 with mission calls, 1 with papers in, etc.  The composition of the other team?  Well, the team name is "2 be 'ers" but let me tell ya, they seem to have used the apostrophe in jest... But we had a great time. I went 1 for 3 - not bad for a almost 50 year old~~~




Now this is great - Neds dad turns 92 years old next week. Still healthy as the day he was born. So what do you buy a 92 year old guy? It is typically a bird house, or a horse figurine, or a wind vane, etc. Last Sunday we were down for our weekly visit and Jess and Tierney were with us. I don't even remember how it came up but Tier was sitting next to him on the couch. Next thing we know, she has headphones hooked up on him and he was rockin' out to Jim Reeves on her Iphone! It was hilarious! I didn't know if we would ever stop laughing. Then she put on a little Patsy Cline - another hit! Just to make sure he could hear it, she tried a little Black Eyed Peas next and he shook his head and said, Oh HECK no! Can you guess what his birthday present is? You got it - an Ipod and a Ihome so he can rock out when ever he wants to. So we have been recording on the Ipod nano all day - I love it. Reminds me of the rides to and from Stockton, CA and Seattle/Olympia, WA with mom and dad, listening to Jim Reeves, Eddie Arnold, and Sons of the Pioneers. Funny thing, I can sing almost every song by memory~

Of course you've still got it! You look great! AND you are one of the coolest moms ever! Still want to do pics...Ridge's face is healing up but Saige just fell and got little black eye and a bunch of srapes. Got to find a window cause I am sure we are going to just keep getting more this summer with my adventurous kids!

I am so glad to see that you still got it. I would move back to Utah if I could play on a family softball team. O wait the Army will not let me. But it would be a blast! Maybe I could come for a month next summer and we could play. You look into that.
