the one with some updates

Lazy summer days??? NOT! It has been CRAZY summer days around here. The older I get, the more busy we get. This is what we are up to these days...

Right now, Brett is playing in a men's softball league and I am playing in a woman's league. Even though we both LOVE it, it takes up two nights of our week! Brett has played for years and he is the pitcher. I have played off and on for my whole life. I am not any kind of pro, but I do love to play. I like playing infield. Because I am a lefty, I usually play first base. The team I play with has a first base player so I have been playing third base. I have really enjoyed it! Its challenging as a lefty (I know that seems weird, but ask any lefty and they will tell you!)

We have been coaching Quayd's AYSO soccer team. It has been so much fun for us!
Our team did awesome too! They were undefeated up until the last few games, then they lost a few. At this age, they play 6 on 6. A few of our team members quit coming to games so we didn't have any subs for the 6 that came all of the time. As the summer got hotter, our boys got more and more tired. It was hard for them at the end, but they still did awesome and had a great season!

So Mr. Quayd has become quite aware of the way he looks lately. I have always been able to dress him in pretty much anything and he never complains, until now. He is very opinionated! The first day of his summer break, I was starting to do his hair. I have done it in spikes since he had enough hair to spike it. He was looking in the mirror as I was gooping it up and he asked me to try something different. I kinda flattened it on top and just spiked the very front.
He looked so cute and very grown up. He looked him self over in the mirror and finally said, "You know who is really gonna like this?" I asked who. He said, "Drew." Drew is a cute little girl that has been in his class for the last two years. All the boys love her! He was so cute about it. All day he asked everyone we saw if they could see anything different about him. He is also very concerned about his clothes and if he matches or not. So he about had a stroke when he saw his dad lounging around the house in this. Quayd kept telling his dad that he was going to call all of his friends to come see how hideous he looked. So funny!!

So that is a little glimpse into what we have been up to lately. I am trying to be better about blogging, so check back and don't give up on me!

the one about our fun night

We had so much fun tonight! Not anything special, just fun all around. Brett, Quayd, Spencer and I all went to McDonalds for dinner. We had a few errands to run, then came home and started packing for our big trip to the city tomorrow. Uuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrcccccccccccchhhhhhhhh..... Wanna know why we are going to SLC? We are FINALLY going to have a hearing about Brett's motorcycle accident that happened 2 YEARS AGO!!! We decided to make a weekend of it. We are gonna hit the zoo, the air show in Ogden and run by Spencer's parents house so Brett and I can meet them and get some of Spencer's things. We are gonna stay with our good friends Tony and Melanie and we are SO excited to spend the weekend relaxing and hanging out with them. Ok, back to our fun night.... Brett, Quayd, Spence and I started playing catch and pretending to be College Woman's Fast Pitch Softball players, since they have been watching a lot of the College World Series lately. We all pitched a few, the I decided I wanted to bat. Once we started doing that, Brayden and Brennen came over.



We all took turns hitting the softball, pitching, and chasing them down the road. Stupid fun, but fun, nonetheless. It started getting dark and hard to see. I took a hard hit to the shin, Spence took one to the toes, (of course we were all wearing flip flops!) Brett about got hit in the face by one that I hit. So it was game off. The Galley kids came down to get Brayden so they could ride bikes to 7-11. Danette and I didn't really think the two little boys should be riding in the dark, so I drove them and Spencer to get a treat. We got back around 10:00 and everyone was ready to play night games. I was still trying to get packed, but Brett and Spence were right out there in the middle of it all! They were so funny and everyone had so much fun. It wasn't anything special, just one of those silly, fun summer nights! I love summer and I hope we have many more of these fun nights!!!

the one about the wrestling singlet

I know, I know. You all want to know about the wrestling get up on my last post. I knew this would happen, and I am really not afraid to talk about it. Obviously, or I wouldn't have posted the thing in the first place.

So here is the story...

About a year ago, I was starting a women's softball team. I had gathered a few of my friends and we put together a FUN team. A LOSING team, but a FUN team. Anyway, I needed some cleats. Brett's little brother Cory and I wear the same size shoes (I don't know who that is more embarrassing for, me or Cory...), and he had an extra pair. Cory wasn't sure where the cleats were, so we went up to Brett's mom and dads house to search for them. While searching through all of Cory's stuff from high school, we found his wrestling stuff. K, you need to know, Cory is TINY! Well I just thought it would be so funny to squeeze my fat arse in the tiny uniform. I never would have imagined that it would fit. Well, I guess it really didn't fit, but, somehow, against all odds, I was able to get in it. My father-in-law was there and he thought that whole thing was hysterical, as well as Gleneita, Talia and Brett. Talia went straight for the camera. I don't know what possessed me to pose. So that isn't even the funny part. Right after that picture was taken, I was prancing around being an idiot, and I heard someone starting to open the door. I FREAKED! I didn't want anyone to see me! (Duh, there were already 4 witnesses and a camera) so Talia captured this photo just as Cory was coming in the door. Like, I hate to sound boastful or anything, but that is freaking funny! My reaction is hilarious!!

So there it is. The story of the Wrestling Singlet.
