Baseball

Baseball season has started. Wyatt plays 10 & under this year which is kid pitch. So this is Wyatt's first year of kid pitch instead of coach pitch. We get new rules playing 10 & under. This is the first year Wyatt can steal bases and if the catcher drops the ball on the third strike the hitter can run to first base as if he hit the ball. This makes watching baseball much more exciting.

Wyatt's coaches name is Lisa. She hasn't ever been his coach before but Wyatt has played football and baseball before with Lisa's son Trey. We like her.

The team name is the Collinsville Cardinals. Very happy about that. Wyatt has played on the Buccaneers,  Rangers, Harrah Sandlot and this makes the 3rd year of playing on the Collinsville Cardinals.

A tournament started last night. We played at 7:45 last night. We lost. This morning we were supposed to play at 9:45, that was cancelled for unknown reasons. Then we were supposed to play at 1:00, the team we were playing decided to drop out of the tournament. So now we are scheduled to play at 6:00. But it looks like its going to rain.

I hope we have a great season!!

Christmas 2009

Christmas 2009 was wonderful. Heidi stayed the night with us at our house. Poppy came over Christmas morning and brought Wy presents and we played Cabelas

Big Game Hunter. It even came with a big orange rifle. Wyatt loves it of course. Then we all got ready and went to MeMaws house where Grandma was preparing us a wonderful Christmas dinner. We had to eat first before opening presents to get Wyatt to eat something. We had a great time and opened way too many gifts! It was a wonderful Christmas.
Cant wait until next year!!!! I also hope we have tons of snow in 2010 for Christmas too!!

Wyatt 9th Birthday Swimming Party

January 16th, 2010 we had Wyatts swimming party at the Claremore Recreation Center. It was lots of fun. It had the largest indoor swimming pool i have ever seen.

Wyatt invited 10 of his friends from school to come to the party. 3 of them came. Another boy named Wyatt, a "hottie" (Wyatt calls her that) named Julie and a boy named Tristian (whose mother dropped him off with no swimming trunks so he just sat and watched)!

They have a diving board, a slide, kinda of a rock wall, places to swim laps and a kinda kiddy pool (but hooked onto the big pool). It was such a nice pool I was really wishing I would have brought my swimsuit!

We had cookie cake. (Wyatt doesn't like cake.) I'm not sure whats wrong with him!

Wyatts best friend Wade came with us and he is staying the night with us tonight. Tony, Tonya and Alexis were there. My sisters Heidi, Jennifer and Lisa were there with my brothers in law Ricky and Brett and my nieces Abi and Kenzye and my nephew Caden. Grandma came. Aunt Paula, Micha and Laney Jo were there. Kayla, Aaliyah, Chaera, Kynden and Faith all swam.
Cassondra came with her 3 little girls Riley, Ireland and Kathrine.

We had a great time. If i have a complaint its

that it was so humid in there! I had to put my hair up and I was still sweating. But I understand its warm to keep the swimmers from freezing.

We had cookie cake on the Observation Deck overlooking the pool. It was very nice. But next time I will wear summer clothes and bring my swim suit!!

Christmas Eve 2009

We had a white Christmas in 2009. The weatherman actually said we had a "Blizzard Warning" for the first time in Tulsa County. It was great. Of course, I may not have thought it was so great if I still had my Mazda RX-8. But in March I traded it in on a 4 wheel drive tahoe and never had a problem in the Blizzard of 2009!!!!

On Christmas Eve it started snowing around noon. I was at work and it was so bad we got to close the store early at 3:30. The kids loved it. I loved it.

Heidi stayed the night with us. Tony, Tonya and Alexis also stayed the night here (and left the next morning to go to Grandmas).

The kids and Heidi made little Gingerbread houses that Susan had bought us to decorate.

We let Wyatt open his gifts from Aunt Angie and Tony and Tonya and Alexis opened their gifts from me and Wyatt and Grandma Suzanne and Heidi.

At 10:30 Christmas Eve night I opened the front door to check out the snow and the kids saw how much there was and went outside to play! Dixie and Princess also had to go play with them. So all three kids and two dogs playing in the snow in the moonlight. Heidi tried to push me outside. It was so much fun to watch the kids. Of course they had to change their pajamas into not snow covered pajamas.

We left cookies and milk for Santa.

We put Buttons in his box and underneath the Christmas tree for Santa to pick him up when he left Wyatts Christmas presents. Wyatt cried about Buttons leaving us.

• It was great Christmas Eve memories. I hope we remember them forever!!!!
