Tucker running to third

This is Tucker running from 2nd to 3rd. He is having a great time and I can't help but think that he brings some comic relief to the coaches that watch him.

India Serving

This is India during volleyball a couple of months ago. She did a great job and her only disappointment is that the boys are getting snacks after their games and she didn't.

Christian Pitching
Here is a picture of Christian pitching in his game on Monday. He did a great job and again threw a no-hitter. The coach is very pleased.

So are the parents.

tourney

Are we bringing our own meat to the tournery. And what about snack, salads and desserts? You do realize that along with getting to see everyone, I'm most excited about the food. I'm assumming the Porter clan will stay with Greyson and Mel?? We're bringin Greta to hopefully give Ada some company. Greta says she's feeling brave.

India wants a dead or alive tournament since she likes that game. I said she'd had to take it up with Greyson? Maybe a mini-timed tourney between the Halo.

Greta does not run away. I let her out while I sweep the front porch and she just meanders. It's funny the things you come to appreciate.

Christian is really fun to watch pitch, but oh the Coach pitch level with Tucker. Am I a bad Mom to not want to endure a full season of little kids twirling in center field? Tim went golfing Monday for an A.D. conference in Bend. So someone might want to razz him about his lack of Blog input. He faithfully reads the blog you know.

Some of you older folk might not get this....

Addicted to plants...aka:I must have some of my father's genes

Lucky for me my hubby isn't real aware of changes in our landscaping. Otherwise he might notice new plants popping up every few days. It seems I can't pass up plants when I see them at any store. I have so far hit up Bi-mart, Freddy's and Wal-mart (more than once at each location). And I received plants from my parents and my hubby for my birthday. And the "funny" part is that my company is trying to get a job in Idaho that would cause me to camp out there for 5 weeks during June/July; right when the plants will be at there best.

I came home from work today and found my hubby out tanning on a blanket with Ada on one side and Quark on the other. They were having a real tough day. Greyson said he has been slacking this term so I might have to get on him. Now that he established he can do A work, that is what I expect.

I think that is all. I hope to hear from you all soon.

Sunshine on my shoulders

The sun just popped out up here finally. I think I will ditch work and go home and mess around with my plants. My hubby got me a couple of fushia plants to hang and I have some veggies that need to go into the garden. I think I am just going to do a little hoeing this year and forget the rottotilling.

I got home late Saturday night and will be home all week. Then I will be off again for a week. I hope to make it home for the shin-dig on the the 30th but I am not sure my work will be done by then. Hopefully it will be sunny weather by then and you all can do some good barbecuing outside.

I am surprised that I haven't seen any pictures of Kalena yet. I thought Jenn would have had those out by now. I am going to try to go for a quick visit today or tomorrow.

Not too much else is going on. I am still working out pretty often. I have a 4 mile route that I job when I am in Desert Aire. I tried that distance at home but it is way too hilly here and I only make it about 2.5 miles before dying.

I got news back from my doctor that the treatment we were trying didn't work and we need to try something else. So now I have to go get this special test (Hysterosalpingogram) done at a radiology clinic. This is where they inject a die up into your uterus and see how everything looks using ultrasound. This can find out whether things are blocked or abnormal or whatever.

So I guess that is about it. Hope to see you all in a couple weeks.
