Lake...

As the weather gets nicer, like today, I find myself wanting to go to the lake. I have gone to Grand Lake for as long as I can remember. My grandparents built a cabin (don't be thinking lake house) down there in 1958. My mom and dad now own it. We use to go down every single summer. We would fish, boat ride, swim, and have the most fun possible. Every 4th of July you could find us swimming during the day and shooting of fireworks at night on Grand Lake. Sadly, all good things seem to come to an end or at least slow down. My brother had two boys and with them came travel baseball and now Brody is doing travel ball. It and football took our weekends. The lake is now a rare treat for us. We are lucky to make it down once or twice a year. I miss the lake😢

Baseball...

      Well, tonight was the first night of Little League baseball practice. We had our first travel ball tournament last weekend in Arkansas. Baseball and I have a love/hate relationship. I love watching the game and Brody play it, and I love watching the game and hate watching Brody play it. The minute the game starts I get millions of butterflies in my stomach. This is his eighth year playing so you think it would be no big deal for me. When it comes to Brody and sports, I am a worrier. He can hold his own and stay right up there with the rest of his team but I always worry that he is going to get in a slump and everyone else will shoot way ahead of him in skill and ability. I have no idea why I feel this way.  I can tell you that it is a miserable feeling. I would love to be able to go to the games,  sit back and enjoy them, but instead I sit there and worry with millions of butterflies in my stomach. When the game is over, the butterflies are gone, I hug him...

Things That Make You Go Hmmmmm...

1.  I never spent the night away from my parents until I was 16. 2.  When Brody was two weeks old, somebody entered our house and tried to take him. 3.  I have a group of moles on my neck that make the Big Dipper. 4.  I was arrested when I was four years old for stealing mail. 5.  I've won three televisions in my life. 6.  My husband makes me watch his feet when we dance. 7.  My husband tried to give me to Kobe Bryant. 8.  When I started Kindergarten, the bus did not know where to drop me off. I rode around on it for two hours and my mom thought I had been abducted.

This Mom Gig...It Ain't Easy!!!

I'm not going to lie, I never really wanted to be a mom. I had two nephews that I considered my own and was perfectly content living life with them. I was the "FUN" aunt. I can only imagine how much my sister in law hated me😬 I never missed a game, a school performance, or anything else that involved them. Then one day, the youngest nephew was 10 and the oldest was 15,  I decided I was getting old and wanted a child of my own. When I announced to my family that I was pregnant with Brody, I swear the world kind of skidded for a second.  They didn't believe me for about 30 minutes. It was a quick and easy pregnancy. Once I had gone in during my seventh month and told my doctor that I didn't think Bro was moving as much. The doctor did a test and everything came back normal. So, I didn't worry about it and went back to planning for the big day. One week before my delivery date, I went in for a check up, a blood test, and a urine test. I told my doctor that m...
