Live so that when your children think of fairness and integrity, they think of you. The highest courage is to dare to be yourself in the face of adversity. Choosing right over wrong, ethic over convenience, and truth over popularity ... these are choices that measure your life. Travel the path of integrity without looking back, for there is never a wrong time to do the right thing.

The Softball Tourney...

Sorry, it feels like forever ago, but I am finally posting a few pics of the games. The girls went undefeated all season which has never happened in the Fast Pitch League Minors Division! WOOHOO! They won their 1st 2 games of the 3 in the tournament and then came game 3...sigh...1st inning we are outfield, the catcher hurls the ball to the 2nd basemen and it beams her right in the face so so hard she is screaming all the girls start bawling and keep bawling all game long. It busted the little girls lip, gave her a shiner, is was a very hard throw. It was so sad, the little pitcher just pitched tears streaming down her face, the girls outfield cried, they cried up to bat :( They just couldn't shake this trauma, I guess under the pressure too to win the tournament and go undefeated through the whole year. I dunno, but it was sad. I LOVE these tournaments, win or lose, they are always a blast. and this time :( No fun. Truly no fun. The worst part was these girls were amazing all year & all they left with were sad crying faces :( It was a bummer. Anyway, after the game, Hal tried to get Haliee's mind of it with a little ice water what a TERD!! The pics are priceless though! He had planned it so my brother was ready with the camera! Afterwards was the bbq/awards and they took 1st in league and 2nd in the tourney. They were stoked about their trophies. WAY TO GO LADIES!

Haliee getting everyone "Pumped" They are ALL about the cheers in Fast Pitch Softball!
***PUMP PUMP PUMP IT UP, P-U-M-P PUMP IT UP, KEEP KEEP KEEP IT UP, KEEP THAT SOFTBALL SPIRIT UP, WERE PUMPED WERE PUMPED, WERE P-U-M-P P-U-M-P P-U-M-P PUMPED, PUMP, PUMP IT UP***
I LOVED watching their cute little pitcher Bree, she is really good!

Haliee in the outfield. Dang the pics are kinda small, Can you see her face paint?

Haliee up to bat. Of course she has a pink helmet, gloves, and bat! :0)
Walking back to the dug out, I think I made the pics too small, but Haliee's lip is quivering (poor baby) The next pic is the coach trying to get their heads in the game. He kept saying why are you still crying, Please stop crying, lol, it was so sad. :(
The Mean Daddy, The Parking Lot Bandit, lol!
An unsuspecting kiddo, FREEZING Cold Ice Water, The Laughs, The Snap Shots, The Memories, PRICELESS!
