The Annual Softball Bowling Tournament

This past Saturday Night...our "Girls" Softball league hosts a Parents Night out of Bowling...We have gone the last three years and have lots of fun going.  It is a nice get away for the parents and we get to know each other better off the softball field. Here are some highlights.

These were our bowling partners....yahoo!!

Here are the Senoritas with the Margaritas...

getting a strike makes her her do the HAPPY Dance.

Man..I didn't have too many of those.....strikes that is.

  There are prizes at this Bowling Night out...for the highest score, the most Turkeys and even the lowest score.  Last year I received the BIG L....

Loser, yep I had the lowest score...can you believe that?  I couldn't believe I had the lowest score. Anyhow..this Guy with the hat over there to the lef .has a broken thumb....well he beat me...his score was 31...mine was 64....so I wasn't the Big L this year...but...Holy tolitos...I didn't even have a broken thumb.  He is showing me his broken thumb in the picture.  What people will do to go bowling.......broken thumb and all.

Ups and Downs.....of the game.

Here is my Dirt Diva...this was the coach's pitch...ya think it's a little high? 

ya! I think so..we want a pitcher not a belly itcher..he struck her out..Dang..

I had Snack Duty for both of my girls games..today.

Here are two happy Divas..

They tied..4-4....

I don't have any pictures of my eldest daughter's game because I am scorekeeper for her games..and it takes all of my concentration...ya know I'm ADHD, right? 

I'll have to hire a photographer to get her in action.  See you on the Softball field!

the season is upon us....

   

both my girls play and my life gets a little more hectic this time of the year but I love watching them play and grow as an athelete.

Photo by my youngest daughter..she loves taking my camera and taking pictures of everything...the cat is usually her favorite subject. 

I'm very competitive......

I'm very, very competitive....sometimes I wish I wasn't so much.  I'm especially compassionate about the sport of soccer.  It really runs through my veins.  Every since I took the field when my little brother signed up to play AYSO I went to his every practice...I don't know why my parents didn't sign me up. Maybe back in 1974, only boys where allowed to play.I just remember that I played with his team and I remember the coach saying we could but a cap on "her"  head, (meaning me)and play her as a boy.  Oh I would of done that in a hot second.  I loved playing against and with the boys.  Yes..some would say I was a tomboy...yep!! I was.  Then I do believe the next year I was put on a team and played several years after that. I also played JR Hight but at the High School level,we didn't have a girls soccer team.  I wanted to play so bad on the boys team at LMHS.  In retrospect I should of pushed it at my school and been a pioneer for all girls.  But you know you get to be so self conscience in HS.  Wish it wasn't so.  I wish I could go back and relive it and know now what I know. Later on when I moved to Kaua'i...I got to play again in a all women's Soccer league. Here is the picture of our soccer team in Hawai'i. Can you guess which player I am?       We came in first 3 years in a row and the last game I had a huge accident and was coming down the right side ready to "CENTER" it and the full back TOO ME OUT!!   yes..our legs intertwined and bam I heard a POP!  I thought for sure I could rest and get back into the game.  Well 3 doctors opinions later I had a torn meniscus.  And having played since.  So now I'm the lady below.Cheering up and down the sidelines while my two girls play.  Well...I think I look a li'l more psycho then her...but you get the idea....I love soccer and I love being.....................................................................a

Girl you make me proud!!!

When you were born...I had no idea what kind of person you would become...Would you be a quiet child and want to be a violinist, would you be loud and be the class clown and I would have many visits to the principals office?  You are going on 10 and in the last 9 plus years you have given me and your father so much JOY.  I especially LOVE to watch you play sports....you are a natural athlete. You take everything in and how a game is to be played and you excel!! You seem to love all sports..but yes...soccer is your favorite...that makes me happy...that was my sport...something I was and still am very passionate about it.  So you go girl....and Mama will be on the sidelines cheering you on....yes..she is proud of her girl!!!
