Mother's Day, good food, and lots of games!

TODAY: It was a beautiful day.  A bit cloudy but still warm.  I hope you are having a good Monday.  I am sitting here smelling chicken and carrots baking in the oven.   Today I moved pictures on the walls around and it looks so much better. I am taking out pictures from my bedroom and putting them in the den next.

YESTERDAY:  It was Mother's Day!  It was a very quiet day. Lauren had spent the night and papa took her to church.  Kevon, Heather and Tara (and the girls) and Andrew called.  I got a text from Amanda. I received sweet messages on facebook from Ryan, Brad, Tara and Heather and other family and friends.  I also received beautiful cards from Karla, Tara and Heather. Papa made me a beautiful T-Bone for dinner that was so tender and tasty! Life is so good. And God is great!  Collages I made for the family....

  

SATURDAY:  Saturday was actually my Mother's Day!  Lauren has spent the night. It had been so long since she's been here.  She had a temp and not feeling very well.  She fell asleep on the couch by 8:15.  Crazy tired.  Poor baby.
So Kevon came and picked me up and we went to Chimicum Cafe. It is a popular mom and pop cafe that is so good.  We both had Chicken Fried Steak, eggs, hashbrowns and toast.

this is his facebook profile picture....weird, huh?

  We had such a nice time visiting and being together.  He is a good guy that really has his act together.  I am so proud to be his mom.

In the afternoon me, papa and Lauren went to Karla's for bbq dinner. She made a good potato salad, fruit was so refreshing, Madi made chocolate covered strawberries that were delishes!!!!  Joel made two kinds of burgers....elk or beef.  Lauren, Papa, Joel, and I think Dylan had elk...the rest of us had beef burgers.  Good food!!!!  We played a few games of Chicken Foot with dominoes.  It was fun! We had quite a few laughs. I lost every game.  I want to take down Dylan.  He wasn't even paying that much attention because he was on his cell phone and would win!  I was so focused and lost. I am a bit competitive. Madi and Lauren had fun.  Took some pics but Lauren didn't want to have any taken so there are none of her.

My girl is so pretty!!!!! I love her!!!!!

This was funny because right after I snapped it Karla turned her tongue towards Dylan and they almost touched. They broke apart and went YUK!!!!!   It was so, so funny!!!!  Bet they won't do that again.  Silly people.

So Papa, Joel and Lauren didn't get in any pics. Oh well.

After we left we stopped at Lauren's to get some more clothes. I got some pictures of Sandy girl. I love this dog!!!!

My friend, Theresa, had a birthday Saturday too!!! Happy birthday Theresa!!! xoxo

FRIDAY:  I was a sick girl. I did nothing all day. Don and Lois were gone before I got up at 6 a.m. They still hit a lot of traffic on their way home... but made good timing anyway. On Tuesday my doctor changed my antidepressants. I felt so tired and weird all day. Emotional and icky. I just need to give it time. I think I also was tired from the week.  It was games Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday! My health isn't that great. I felt bad I missed Jo's game Friday night.

THURSDAY:  Don and Lois came!  We had a great visit!  Libby stopped by and visited for a while. Both my sisters here. Loved it! Later we went to Alyssa's game...Kingston against North Kitsap. Aly's team won and the 10 run rule ended at the 5th inning. Aly did good!  Jessica came and David was there.  Took some pictures and they acknowledged the Seniors on the team.

After the game the 4 of us went to Subway.  It took us 30 minutes to get our food because the manager left at promptly 7 leaving a girl alone to take care of a line of people. I couldn't believe it. Brought the sandwiches home and ate dinner. Then stayed up and played Trivia crack together. Had a great time with them.

WEDNESDAY:  Lauren had a basketball game that was so fun! We won of course. We had a seat, which is always good.  Lauren got two baskets and we were so proud of her. She was pretty aggressive too. She had to be with that team!!!!

TUESDAY:  I had my phone appt with my doc. She thinks everything stems from my antidepressant and how it isn't working properly.  I hope she is right. Start a new one....double up in a week and then she will call me in a week from then.  

TOMORROW and THE WEEK AHEAD:  Andrew starts his new job at Coffee Oasis. I am excited for him. Jordy has a game at Lion's Club in Bremerton.  Aly has a game on Wednesday and also Lauren has a basketball game. Thursday is none and Friday is Jordy's last game. Depending on how I feel will depend on what games I go to. Please pray for me!   Have a great week!!!!

Many blessings!

TODAY:

Well, it is May 4th. lol!

I always liked this saying.  Another beautiful day in paradise!!!!  We live in Paradise Bay so that is why I say it.  Today we have a quiet day. Jordy has a game in Kingston tonight.  We'll be going to it. 

Our schedule this week is:

Monday:  Jordy game @ Kingston 4:15

Tuesday:  off

Wednesday:  Lauren game @ PMS 8 pm

Thursday:   Alyssa game @ Kingston 4:15 with Senior Recognition after game.

Friday:     off

Saturday:  Jessica @ NKHS 2:00 and 5:00

The games are taking their toll on me with the sun!  I am loving it but got my first sunburn at Riley's game a week ago and it is continueing.  I got the right side of my face and chest area yesterday.  But even when the sun is out it isn't terribly hot and there is always a nice breeze so I don't really notice I am getting burnt. 

YESTERDAY:

We went to Jessica's game...like I said with the sunburn and all.  We pull up to the curb and set our chairs out on the sidewalk and watch the game from the hill with all the others.  Now, Jessie's games are different.  She plays on a baseball team.  An all boys baseball team.  lol!  She decided to join late and she wasn't thrilled with the girls softball teams and the boys needed another player. I am so proud of her for not being intimidated  by this team.  And she likes it!  She played 2nd and right field.  Up to bat she got hit twice!  The second time her dad (David) was mad.  The guy down the hill says "Well, that is one way to get her number!"  The guys on the other team were really checking her out. Well, she is beautiful and made the uniform look great. lol!  We had such a great time visiting with Alyssa and David and Annette. Here are some pics:

We were also watching a nest across the field.  I don't think it was an Eagle...maybe Osprey (Seahawk) nest.  It was pretty cool.

Catching the sun and the game!

My pretty little niece Alyssa is a Senior this year....graduates next month and then is going off to WSU (Washington State University) across the state.  She has grown up so fast. 

LAST WEEK:

Last Wednesday we went to Alyssa's game (she stole home, slid and was safe!)  and then to Lauren's basketball game.  It was my nephew's birthday (my oldest nephew...Ricky turned 49!) Made this for him:

Last Friday Aly had another game in Kingston.  We've been sitting behind outfield all by ourselves and loving it. Papa made popcorn. It was great. Pictures from this game...her dad was there too.

The funniest is this video of Alyssa.  She has the Langager temper.  2 on base, batter up, Aly on deck. 2 outs and last at bat...we're behind 3 points.  The girl goes out, Aly mad. 

Last Saturday:

My great niece Taylor Ann's birthday! There are some beautiful eyes in our family!!!!

THIS WEEK:

I already mentioned the games.  I am also having a phone consultation with my doctor.  I am still suffering from the dizzy spells, a bit of depression etc.... so we're going to talk on Tuesday.  Grandson Patrick has an appointment with an ENT on Wednesday.  And Don and Lois are coming over and spending the night Thursday!!!!  So excited to see them.  Going to get the trailer set up for them.   That about covers the week!

Papa is heading out the door for a walk.  Then he is mowing.  I have some cleaning to do before my sis comes over! I hope you all have a wonderful week!!!!
