Softball is my life... Still

So last night JV won their first game in FOREVER! We played against Sibley-Och. By inning 5 it was 10:0. In the 6th inning, the scored a run or two but we creamed them. I was the 10th batter and got up to bat twice. I got 2 doubles!!! Both were over the outfielders heads :) I didn't pitch, but that was ok. Varsity lost 3:2. In the last inning, someone hit the ball into the outfield and so coach sent the person on third. She got home fine. He sent the next girl too. The outfielder threw it in and it was way in front of the plate, but the runner was slow so she got out. Game over. Please play again.

In case you are wondering, the girl in the blue poodle skirt is my cousin Randi. On the last day of VBS (Friday) they always put on a "skit." I was actually going to post this two days ago with this video, but the page froze up. I also tried to load it as a picture so it took forever.

On Monday, we went to Sioux Falls. On the way home, we got a TON of fireworks. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! We were joking that we would crash and all the fireworks would go off. It was kind of funny, were we got them (South Dakota) it is illegal for people from SD to buy them, even though it is legal for them to shoot them off. People from out of state (say Iowa) could buy them, but it is illegal for us to shoot some of them off.

I have a tournament this weekend. I will have to leave home at 11. Not fun. Coach says that I will pitch some of the games. It has been fairly hot lately so it probably wont be fun. It has been like 80 degrees out, so actually not that hot but before, it was really cold lately, sweatshirt weather, so it seems really hot.

A couple days ago, I had to mow part of the lawn and it was really really high. I want to say about 3' high but I'm really bad at judging heights/distances so family feel free to correct me. The lawn mower kept getting clogged. The garden, we actually planted it all this year and let me tell you, I HATE WEEDING!!!!!!!!!! I'm all for buying sweet corn next year and beans and peas and radishes, and potatoes, and pumpkins, and watermelon, and whatever else we have in there.

Hmmmm. Not much else to say. Mitch, come over sometime and take one of our splotchy kittens or one of the black kittens. I can't think of anything to to say. This video is taking FOREVER to process. Here are some pictures of us at VBS and Mitch at the Rascal Flatts concert. The absolutely cute kitten is my kitten Hector named after the guy in Troy.

VBS

Ok, so my hopes of blogging every week just went down the drain but I plead very busy schedule. First of all, big huge tournament. Then last week vbs. Now this week I have a game every day.

So let me first rant about vbs. I was a helper this year, my first year being a helper. We had 4th graders when we had requested 5th. They were very annoying especially a kid named Trey. But we got to tie up Mitch, literally. I even helped this year in the skit which I had to were a squirl costume. It was ok since I got to make fun of the main character. But my absolute favorite was music and one of my favorite songs was Days of Elijah (video above). On Friday, the last day, there were horse cart rides (very fun). The concert was also on Friday. One of my softball team mates didn't have a ride home or back to church so she came home with us. I took her to Eugenes and we went on the trapeze (she took about 10 minutes, no kidding, to convince that she wouldn't fall off and it was safe). Then we went to my grandparents house and we went on the swing, jumping off the pay loader bucket.

Then on Saturday, mom's work had this free thing that was alot of fun. There was food, a carnival, a circus and a RASCAL FLATTS CONCERT!!!! The only bad thing was that we had to wait for an hour for it to get dark. Ok, I have to go... I'll try to post later.
