You are my happy feeling

I never felt emotion,
I thought it not-so-true.
That all changed one day, the day I met you.
Your eyes shine like no other,
I wish I could meet your mother.
Our story is sad but true.
If you and I were together,
we'd never be through.
My deepest fears are realized.
You gone I can't stand.
If you could please lend me your hand.
Life is a game played by two.
One must win and one must lose.

The Green Beans Won a Game

Go beans!! go beans!! Last night was the 2nd game of the season for Mike's team. They were last bats, the score going into the Royals open inning was 14 beans 5 Royals. The Royals scored 13 runs in the open inning, so the Beans were forced to play the last inning as well. When they hit 19, they called the game over. I was glad because it was freezing cold sitting out in the grand stands watching. Last year Mike's team only won 1 game the entire season, so I was happy to see them doing better this year. Once again, my son was put on the last team, with the newest members and coach and the least amount of players. But that's OK, someone has to be there. As long as they have fun and are being good sports, that's all that really matters. His main tournament is on Father's Day, so I hope he will be able to make it for that because they hand out metals to the players that day.

The sun is shinning and it looks like it is going to be a nice weekend after all. Too bad my hubby is stuck working, but he was able to take 4 days off last week to come to the wedding with me, so it is worth it. We still have Monday off together...to work around the yard. (and perhaps work on my tan a bit too)

The Green Team

Life has settled down quite a bit and I am very thankful. My son got his uniform last night. We missed uniform night last week because it was raining on Tuesday and we were away for the wedding on Thursday. It's always fun getting a new uniform. This year he is number 23 and his jersey is forest green. For the past 2 years his jersey was royal blue, so a change is good. His pants are a bit small, but the next size up was way too big. So he'll just have to wear tall socks. Last night was his first official game. They did well, but didn't win. Mike struck out the first time at bat (super fast pitcher) and he only got 1 more time at bat...in which he smacked it really hard down the 3rd base line, but then it went fowl. After that he hit it hard to 1st base and was put out. He was very disappointed, so we treated him to a slurpie after the game to make him feel better. There were way too many flying ants last night. I hope they disappear soon...they are very annoying!!!

Making my living room special

My Hubby bought me this candle centerpiece for the living room. It matches our decor perfectly.


Here is a picture of my sister and I from the wedding. Normally she has really curly hair. She straightened it for the wedding. I think her hair looks great!

What a perfect setting for a wedding

The wedding was so awesome. The weather was very warm and the lake was beautiful. We had a great time. Now that I am back home, I feel bagged. We were on the go 4 days in a row. I am still tired and it was hard to get out of bed this morning. Here are some pictures. Hopefully sometime this week I will load more photos on my web album. Hope everyone (mom's) had a great mother's day.

Getting packed

I cannot believe that we are leaving tomorrow. We are all packed and boy do we ever have a lot of stuff for just being away 3 nights. Well, the kids need their video games and laptops for in the car. Otherwise it makes for a very long trip...and are we there yet asked frequently. We bought an adapter for the cigarette lighter so they both can be on their computers while we travel. Sometimes they can pick up an internet connection. I am looking forward to having some time off of work and enjoying visiting my friends and family. We are bringing the Jimmy because all the stuff won't fit in my car. I am bringing some decorations with me. I am not sure when I will get another chance to put a post on my blog, so you might have to wait until Monday to see pictures from the wedding.
I've posted some before and after pictures on my web album (link is on the left side of my blog).You can click the link and then click on the album and select slide show.
Happy Mother's Day to all my mother friends!
We will be having Mothers Day brunch at ABC with everyone from the wedding.

A fire too close to home

Shortly after I got home from work, I looked out the living room window and saw a bit of smoke in the back yard...then I saw a huge black puff of smoke. Shortly after that, I heard the sirens going. Kels and I went down the hill to take a look. Here are the pictures she took.




The holiday trailer in our neighbour's yard got melted. The tree next door to the barn that was on fire caught on fire. Also the roof on the log home 2 homes away caught on fire. It had an old wooden shingle roof. The fire dept. was able to contain the fire, however it was a bit scarey because the wind was blowing up the hill towards our homes and the brush was very dry and caught fire. It came about 50 feet from our back yard. I guess the guy was burning brush in his back yard. I hope he had a permit because the Forestry workers were also helping out with the fire. Here's a picture from the top of our driveway

I made sure I had my garden hose out, hey you never know.
