And next will be my oldest grandson Cody... This is his second year in the actual Pee Wee Ball league. He played
T Ball before. This year he is playing catcher position for the first time, as well as a few other positions in the field... I think he wants to learn to pitch... His dad Keith, bought him a bucket of balls and is working with him. He is learning a lot and doing a great job too ! He loves to play, and can "smack" a ball as he would say !
: )

We enjoy watching him, but his games are on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and those are not easy nights for us to get away... : ( We are proud of Cody, and we think he is doing great ! Good Luck Cody, Keep up the good work... Grandma Soni and Grandpa Wally love you...

Did I mention just how handsome he is ??

Summer means time to play BALL...
well for three of our grandchildren anyway...
Ali has played since she was 5, I think... She started in T Ball and has continued on to girls softball and is now 12 years old.
And she now loves it even more. She is an awesome pitcher, but enjoys playing third base too, she is a good hitter and loves to show the other team what she is capable of... and has a great deal of team support in her... These pictures show her enjoying it all.Yes we are proud grandparents...We try to go watch as often as we can...which is just not enough...It was easier when it was only her, but now both of her younger brothers play as well.Ali has 2 games a week. Cody has 2 games a week and Dustin is happy with his 1 game a week...

Wow, June is half over already...I hope to post some pictures from my grand childrens ball games soon, but for today I have another project to share from OUR GIRLS NIGHT OUT .

Each section has a different design of a birdhouse painted, and it has a lot of Red White and Blue...so it could be used for the 4 th of July... I thought as either a silver ware holder or sugar packets. Some will plant small flowers in it, or use it as a little catch all ...

This was an easy project... :)
I think it is cute...
Thanks for looking and I hope to see you back soon...

I am still way to far behind in my scrap booking. As I pulled these pictures , I realized just how far...these are from
FATHER'S DAY 2004...
YIKES ! Will I ever get caught up?? I love to scrap, and relive my days with my family...
So even if I stay behind, my albums are still a true treasure to me...and I hope I always have the same passion for scrapping as I have for 10 years !...

I hope you enjoy looking, I took a newer thought~ the scalloped circle paper~ and used it with pictures from to 6 years ago...then, I computer generated my words, and used simple matting techniques and layering of punches to show case the words. I love polka dots, and I love SIMPLE... so yes, this is pretty much ME... lol
Thanks for stopping in, I hope you come back real soon...

Welcome to June
I know summer does not officially start until later this month, but I am so ready .
Here is our latest project from our GIRLS NIGHT OUT. We painted this UNCLE SAM on a paver,( edging stone ) . Some of us choose the darker, more Americana tone, and some choose a more bright read and white.
This was a fairly easy item to paint, other than we had to "freehand" or "eye ball " (painting lingo ) everything, as the concrete did not allow us to trace the pattern on it at all.
And of course it was another fun night, filled with good stories, laughter, and yummy desert ! It is a great way to get away and relax.
Who knew a paint class could be so much FUN !
