Lots of hits with (and without) bats...

HomeTown had another game last night. It started out slow, was a really good game in the middle, then it started going downhill. Yes, they did win this game (6-4), but that's not why it went downhill. All of the girls were getting plenty of hits with the bat, then they started getting hit themselves! Rachel was the first to take one for the team, got hit in the left thigh. Then some time passed, and it started up again. Paige got hit in the leg, another girl got a hit, and then Rachel was up again... and got hit AGAIN, this time in the right ankle! We gotta work on her reflexes...

Close call...

It was really tough watching the latest Hometown game... they met up with Edward Jones again (the team we beat last time) and they were out for blood. Originally this post was going to have no mention whatsoever of the game, only the goofy photos, but then there was an amazing comeback and our girls were playing AWESOME and we led the game! But alas, it was not meant to be, they kicked our butts in the end (no pun intended). Oh well, maybe next time.

BUT-- we did get some goofy shots during the game that I have to share.

I think this is proof that they can actually get along, what do you think?!? hmm...

Yeah Rach, I'd be scared if I were you...

Rachel, what WERE you DOING???

Just another goofy shot of the "sisters"... or maybe this is their real look?

Rachel & Travis...

For those of you who haven't seen/met Travis yet, here he is with Rachel... Aww, aren't they cute?!?

Flood of Posts

I am SOOO behind on my updating, and tons has happened in a short amount of time. Here's the latest happenings of our family in the past week...

May 20: He's smarter than we thought...

Chris is smarter than we thought! He received an academic award for 95 average or above in 4 or more classes. (wonder if those 4 classes included Band, Plant Horticulture, Band, and lunch...?) lol

May 16: EHS Band Spring Concert

The High School band had their final concert of the year. It was a good concert, even though it started an hour late! Couldn't get any "action" shots of Chris during the concert... da boy plays da tuba and sits in da back. :)

May 15: Another beating for Hometown :(

Well, game 2 came and went. It was another beating (not as bad as the first, we lost 9-6), but good practice for the team. They are getting better with every game!

May 21: Hometown's 1st win!

After 2 games, they were able to break the losing streak and end up winners! This one was a really good game; unfortunately, I forgot my camera and only got a last-minute shot of the scoreboard (before they cleared it for the next game). I know this win will help them to be more confident and hopefully keep on this same track. This Friday's game will tell... they play Edward Jones again, and those girls will be out for blood. Watch out, Hometown!

May 17-18: Boy Scouts cuttin' up a good time!

Matthew & Chris went on a campout this past weekend (it was local, someone's land here in Ennis). They split wood for a winter fundraiser, and practiced their shooting. To hear Matthew & Chris tell it, they had a blast! I, on the other hand, don't find the wood-splitting all that interesting. Guess it's from all those years of "having" to do it that makes it seem like another chore... thanks Daddy. lol :)

No Homeruns for HomeTown :(

Ok, so Rachel's (& Paige's) softball team, HomeTown Chiropractic, was finally able to play their first game of this season last night. However, there were no homeruns for us, and not that many hits either. Rachel did get a hit (the only time she was up to bat!) but they got her out on 1st. Paige also got a hit and got on base but wasn't able to score either. We ended up losing 18-3 (ouch!) but at least we got a few good pics from the night!!

Aren't they cute?!?

Here are our rugrats when they were younger! This pic was taken just before we got married. Oh, they were sooooo young!
