Baby Jets!

A few friends from college were in town so we decided to all meet up at the pool to catch up! Check out these adorable baby Jets! 

Dom was napping so he missed out on the photo shoot! 

 Hope they grow up to be life-long friends like their Mamas are!! 

Love these girls!! 

Alumni Softball Game {2014}

Last weekend was our annual Newman Softball Alumni game! Woo hoo! We had a great turnout this year and man, am I starting to feel old! This year marked 10 years since graduation!!!! What?!?!? That's impossible! It was just yesterday! Here is some of the alumni -

 Always great to see Kathy and Josie as well as the other girls --

Elena got to hang out with the big girls in the dugout - she thought she was big stuff!

Man I miss playing so much! In fact, while we were warming up I got the bright idea that I should try to pitch again - you know for old times sake. See if the old lady still has it. It must have been the beer talking because I haven't even pitched a ball since before Elena was born! But I did decent and even got a strikeout! Woot woot! But I was pretty much instantly sore! (and still a little sore almost a week later - geez!!)

Here is a great picture of the alumni with the current players!

 After the game we had some yummy food and tasty beverages and got the chance to reminisce. :)   

Then it was time for ice...and maybe another beer or two! ;) 

 

Another fun Alumni Game in the books!

 

Alumni Softball Game

In October we had our Newman Softball Alumni game! It was fun catching up with everyone and man am I starting to feel old! First play of the game I totally jammed my thumb at 1st base. Boo :(

 One of my favorites, Kathy!  

The fam came to enjoy the day too!

 I'm afraid their favorite part was riding the gator though! :)  

After the game we enjoyed some snacks and refreshments with everyone and got to spend some time with my old roomie Josie - who came up from OK!

Alumni and Current Jets

It was a fun day (jammed thumb and all!) and I am looking forward to next year!

Alumni Basketball Game - aka - I'm getting old!

For the Newman Alumni basketball game this year, my former roomie/teammate Sarah and I decided to bust out our old school shirts that we had made when we were juniors at Newman. You like? :)

 Elena got to run around and play on the court before we got started. She was having a blast!

 Whew! Time for a water break :)

Then we got started. Let me tell you, I think the court got longer since I played there! HA! One time down and back and I was already breathing hard! There was one point in the game where I heard Elena yell, "Make a basket Mommy!!" I thought, oh man - I am embarrassing my 4 year old! :)  But it was really fun to play with my old teammates again! Hopefully next year there is an ever bigger turnout! (and it might be this old lady's last year playing!)

It was so funny to see Sarah and I's hubbys taking care of the babies while we played. Two good looking Mr. Mom's right there!

 "Exhausted" just barley begins to describe how tired I was! (I also forgot just how red my face gets when I really work out hard - guess I need to pick it up at the gym!)

Elena thought me playing basketball was great and if it gives her any sort of encouragement to play sports later in life then I say - mission accomplished! :)

Massive May Catch-up!

 May ended up being one of the busiest months ever!! So in the effort to catch up I am going to summarize all of the busy-ness in pictures! At least up to Memorial Day Weekend, then I should be back on track! May included ~

Cinco de Mayo - :)

Start of the 3rd trimester!! We are getting so close!! Had a final sonogram and he looks like he will have very large feet with long toes - just like Daddy :) He is also already approximately 4.5 lbs with 9 weeks still left to grow! Yikes - he might be a big boy!

Mother's Day - Love my homemade gifts from Miss Elena!!

Last day of preschool!!!

A very long business trip to the Cincinnati area ~ I passed a huge test that I needed for work! Whew! So glad that it is over!! (This little trip also included bad weather and an unexpected overnight stay in Chicago - with no luggage!)

A good friend's wedding - including a penguin as a party guest! (Elena even got to pet him!)

Sofia's 1st Birthday!

Fun with friends at the lake ~

and with Grandma too!

Getting to hang with my Newman softball teammates for dinner!

A couple of back yard projects for Daddy and his little helper!

(More to come on these!)

and of course I can't leave out The Month of Lindsay...

Now you can see why it was pretty much impossible to blog! :) I must say that I missed having time to blog and am glad to be (almost) caught up!

What a weekend!

 Last weekend we had our Newman University Alumni Softball game, but after weeks and weeks of no rain - of course it rained! :( But we all still got to hang out and catch up in the Alumni Lounge. 

That night I joined some friends to see Sugarland in concert! Mary, Sarah and I-

I was pretty proud of my giant buckle! ;) 

Sara Bareilles was the opening act. Kind of random for a country concert but we all enjoyed her music. 

Kylie, me and Sarah - 

Kylie and Debbie-

After a little intermission and some refreshments it was time for Sugarland! I thought there would be more theatrics to the show but it was pretty much just them up on stage singing. They were amazing though! 

The next morning we headed out (in the rain) to cheer on my bestie Lindsay who was running her first race ever, which just happened to be a half marathon! Here is Elena waiting in the rain -

I totally forgot my camera! (Shocking I know!) So I used my camera on my phone to catch a couple pics, it could not hang with all the people running by. 

But I got a decent one of Linds as she passed us!

 

Then we went down farther along the route and cheered some more. Elena was getting a little tired. :)

Linds again, just over 1/2 way! 

The finish line!! 

Way to go Lindsay!! So proud of you! 

What a great weekend!!
