Oh boy.....


This dog is going to be the death of me. Or herself.  I haven't yet decided.  Most days, I love her. Other days, I want to hang a "FREE" sign around her neck and send her on her way. I'm not sure I have ever owned a bigger pain-in-the-ass dog. 


But she's still here. And I suppose we'll keep her.  Good thing she's cute.

June's Literary Adventures

Another slow reading month - now that softball is winding down for the summer, I anticipate the numbers picking back up.



I am really struggling with the Women's Murder Club series by James Patterson. It is old, recycled, and probably needs to be wrapped up and put away forever.  I was excited to get back to the Jeff Carson David Wolf series. Deadly Conditions was okay for me, but Cold Lake was a great one! I am excited to continue on with this series.

The 4th!

 The kids and I decided to head to a Boise Hawks game to celebrate the 4th. They have completely re-vamped their fireworks show, and it was so awesome! Nothing is more "American" than baseball and fireworks!

Cousin Pool Day!

 Before Dana moves into his new place, we tried to maximize some pool time. The kids had a great time swimming around, doing various jump & catch competitions, and generally being goofballs.

All-Star Madness Continued - and Regionals!!

The second half of the all-star season was one for the books!  The girls really put together a great season, and were in a really good place heading into Regionals. 

Proud is an understatement. This group of young ladies had big goals to start their all-star season, and they completely smashed through the ceiling. They have grown so much, and have totally embraced the advanced skills we have thrown their way. They only dropped two games this summer and came out to Regionals to dominate the Pacific Northwest Regional 10u division. They earned those rings 1000%. I am so completely honored to coach these amazing ladies, and watch them develop lifelong friendships from playing in the dirt.

Also super proud of Kendall for doing her thing.

All-Star Madness!

Following a really great spring season, Kendall made the all-star team and we are in the thick of playing a bunch of summer ball! She's really having the time of her life, playing with her buddies and making new softball friends. Summer ball is the best ball! So proud of this kid.
