Happy Birthday Baby!

Happy Birthday to the One I Love

I'd like to give you

so many things

for your birthday.

But the thing I would most

like for you to have

is something that I'll never give

to anyone else but you.

A love... that lasts and lasts.

A love shared... that every day

grows more lovely,more meaningful,

and more important.

And a life so good

and so happy,

all for you... with love from me.

- Carey Martin

Happy 30th Birthday to my Baby Sister!

MORE THAN A SISTER

Your more than a sister

that began with being a good listener

Through the years of fighting and fussing

the screaming, shouting and cursing

I never saw you as just a person.

Now I know for certain you've become a best friend to me

Someone to lean on when in need

We've grown so close,I never could have thought

after all those years that we had fought

that you would become my friend

I've seen you struggle and strive

just to keep your family alive

We've dealt with deaths and births

even though some we thought were a curse

Tears and laughs that only we understand

especially the ones involving a man

After all these years, I just now know

how proud I am to let it show

You are my sister and my friend

You are definitely a GOD send

too busy to blog

Ok so not a lot of time here to blog.

1- I am changing up my diet. Low Carbs is not for me. What is for me and I have done well on it before is Weight Watchers. So that is what I am going back too.

2- I have lots of pictures I need to get posted this week from Graduation and our weekend.

3- Today is Lane's Birthday and he is 5.

4- He is so excited that the kindergarten teachers are making their home visit tonight.

5- He thinks he is extra special because they are coming on his birthday. Which of course he is!

New Licenses and a Ticket

Jenny Finch-Team USA Pitcher

Friday night we had ball games and Colleen and Shelby came up. Afterwards we went home and hung out. Saturday we left about 11 to head to the big game. We stopped and ate before we got there. We got there really early to insure a good seat. It was nice weather and was not too hot. Team USA won 2-0. I have never seen a game played with such good players, cause I was wanting a little more action on the field. It was 3 up and 3 down the whole game. We didn't get any autographs. There was no way we were going to stand in the mass of people. It took us about 30-40 mins just to get out of the parking area. There was a record 4,126 people there.

All of these were taken before the game during warm up.

This was Chris's favorite shot!

After we got back we went to help finish off the crawfish at SIL house.

Sunday morning was great. ALL my family was in church with me. Praise God! Afterwards we went back over to SIL house and cooked for Dustin's 16Th birthday. We hung out, cooked, ate, played ball and really just had a nice relaxed day. I can't believe that my baby boy is growing up so fast.

Monday I took the day off work for my Birthday Holiday and Dustin and I spent the day together. He had a Dentist appt and needed to go get his DL. I asked if he wanted to drive to town, but he didn't. I sure wished he would have. I got a speeding ticket in a construction zone, which in Texas that automatically doubles the price of the ticket. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! There goes money toward my camera I wanted.

After that I got my hair cut, he shopped, I shopped, my sister met us for lunch, went to the Insurance office twice, to the dentist and then home to watch Wes's ball game. I think the winning score was like 22-8 or something. He again, got the only Home run of the game. He has another game tonight and one Friday also. Tonight we start kid pitching. This should be very interesting. Wes will be on of them this year.

Gonna see me some FINCH!

Happy Belated Birthday to me! I was so busy yesterday that I didn't have a chance to blog at all yesterday. We had a busy day at work, since it was our Annual Meeting. But I did have a nice day. I got several goodies from the ladies at work and my DH sent me these.

He also cooked me dinner, Mexican Cornbread, Feista Corn, Smothered Potatoes, and home made hot sauce. Lauren made me a cookie cake and decorated it. It was a nice evening. We are going tomorrow to watch Team USA Softball play. We are so excited. Should be nice weather and alot of fun. The guys are ready to see Jenny Finch . We bought our tickets at the beginning of the year and have been looking forward to it. It is a sold out game in Sulphur, La. againist the Ragin' Cajuns. One of there players graduated from our High School. My sister is coming up to keep Lane and we are taking my neice Shelby with us. Now she is on cloud nine about it. She is wearing her last years softball jersey to get autographs and bringing 2 softballs. She has called us every evening this week just all giddy about going. They are going to stay all weekend and go to church with us on Sunday. Yeah!

Which is also Dustin's Birthday. He will be 16. Whew! Where has the time gone? My baby boy is going to be 16. When I dropped him off at school this morning he made sure to tell me that, it was the last time that his momma would be taking him to school........ oh I could cry. I am having a hard time dealing with him thinking that he is all grown up. I am taking my Birthday Holiday off on Monday and taking him to get his DL and then we are headed to Beaumont for the day. He ended up having to go with me for a followup Dentist appt. But I plan on getting my hair cut, shopping for myself and eating a nice lunch. I wanted to get a full body massage but I won't have time for that. We also have to go by the insurance company and signs some papers.

I hope to get lots of good pictures this weekend at the game so be looking for them.
