Exciting News!!

Can you guess where we were on Saturday? yep, another softballo field/game. it was the District playoffs for Sammy's High School team. Thyey also had played on Thursday, with 1 win and 1 loss. Saturday they won both games and came in 3rd for District and gained a berth in the State playoff. To be played in Wenatchee, Wa. Her and the team leave Thursday at noon....from school of course. There first game is friday at noon I think. We will drive over Saturday morning. With me just starting a new position at a different school, and going to Vancouver the following weekend. We just couldn't afford another night for a hotel. So we will make a day trip over. Now I have to get my list of everything she need to take. Enjoy the photos from Saturdays games. The rain was fun! NOT
Hugs and Giggles!



Sammy is the one with the mask.




Sammy got a nice single but also a stinger on her hand.

We got a lot done this weekend

Not much "talking" in this post! We got a lot done Saturday. When we moved in 2 years ago there has been a bathtub at the back of the house. So when the previous owner came and got all of his crap we had him leave the tub! Well I am not much of a gardener.
But have always wanted to use it as a planter. Thanks to Chandler and Bill, it is ready for dirt and flowers. Hopefully next weekend. Sammy got the lawn mowed and some branches cut up and put in the yard waste container. Chandler got the spot where the "tub" was going all cleared out. We actually were going to bleach, scrub the tub out but decided we wanted the old and dirty look. lol
Bill got some more trim painted and some more priming done and hauled the 6 bags of bark for me. Oh, this is what I wanted done/for Mother's Day!! i know, weird huh! lol
Hugs and Giggles!

So Much.....

has been done this past week, I am surprised none of us are in the looney bin. Since last Saturday we had 11 softball games scheduled. Only 9 were played! Good news though...Sammy's High School Varsity team is going to District up in Lynden Washington on Thursday and possibly Saturday. She also made the paper again. If they do well there they go to State in Wenatchee Wa. on 5/25 & 26th.
I think in my last post I told you the cats were getting fixed last Saturday. oh my gosh, when we got them home they were pretty drugged up, Fifi kept falling asleep in the litter box. I felt like we had babies again, I was up at midnight and again at 4am checking on them etc. We did leave them for a few hours while we went to Sammy's tourney. They lost the 1st game so we went home. But while we were there we saw Sammy's coach from 2 years ago...Coach Mike, he really needs some prayers right now. When he was coaching Sammy, he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer, so far he has out lived the norm for this type. But right now is not doing well at all, so all prayers are welcome. Sammy of course is upset about this. She may be only 15 but she has had a lot of people close to her die.
Okay, this week isn't to terribly busy thank goodness. A good thing for me is that I have an eye appt. I desperatly need some glasses, I can barely read directions on a box etc. lol Wish me luck. i will be posting again. But enjoy a few photos from the games this week, oops. i dont have any for Chandlers, but will find one of her and the cats from last weekend. Hugs and Giggles

Here is why.....

I named my blog...On the Diamond stamper.
Monday...Sammy had a High School away game. Chandler had a game
Tuesday...Sammy had practice, Chandler off
Wednesday...Sammy's home game cancelled, Chandler had a game
Thursday... Sammy had her All District Band Concert, Chandler off
Friday...Sammy had an away game, Chandler off
Saturday...Sammy's select team has a Tournament. Game schedule goes like this... 12, 3:30, 5 and possibly 7:30 or 9. Then we will have to back sometime on Sunday. Chandler and I will be up early to take both cats to get spade, so we will only see Sammy's first game. Then we have to go get the cats and take them home. Depending on how they are doing we may go back to one of the last games, depending if Chandler goes to her softball practice. Otherwise we will do some painting around the house. A great thing happened this past week. The previous owner came and got all of his crap off the property. Like a car, truck and a bunch of junk and cleared out the garage bay. Thank goodness. The property looks really nice now, and will get even better as we get more stuff done that we want to do. I have a photo of Chandelr sliding into 3rd at Wednesdays game.Enjoy. Hugs and Giggles!



As you can see she was safe due to the other team over threw the ball, she got up quick and ran home and scored!! Way to go Edgar! lol
