The End of Softball...

Dad's birthday pie

The end of my game

Last night, my softball team, the Tigers, officially became the Team Tournament Class D champions. We each got a medal and were on a local cable tv station. My favorite part of the softball season was getting my first hit. It was lots of fun at the tv station because we got there at 9:00 pm and went into the tv station at about 10:00-ish. So it was kind of like a last little bit of time to play around and say goodbye. It was an enormously large amount of fun. After we won the game, we went home for an hour and celebrated Dad's birthday!!!! Thanks for being the best dad ever!!! Well, hopefully, now that softball season is over, I'll get on blogger more often... hopefully.

A fun Afternoon...

Well, (do I always start my posts this way?)

Anyways, today Mom was up at six, and I woke up to the lovely (or not so lovely) sound of Naomi calling at the top of her lungs: "Leah! I need to get up and have a diaper change and go potty!" Of course, I wasn't too delighted to wake up to this sound, but I was glad that I ended up getting up at seven. So, we got up, had Muesli (don't ask me how you pronounce it, because I don't know) and suddenly realized that if we were not done with breakfast, our morning chores, taking care of the chickens, doing our weekly cleaning, packing our swimsuits, and packing lunches by 10:00, we would be arriving at the W's house at 1:30. (This did not sound too good because everyone else would be arriving at 11:30. So we suddenly worked as fast as we could to get everything done. Anyways, we ended up finishing all of our work by 10:45. We were able to quickly get in the car and make it to W's house by 11:45. We arrived just as the Alvaros were getting there. All the kids (the W's, Us, the A's, and the S's)went outside and played soccer for a little while, then we had lunch, then we went swimming. Then we had the fabulous idea of going and playing soccer and getting hot, then coming and jumping in the pool. After this happened two times, it was time to go. :( We got home, cleaned up (again!) and I went and blogged... anyway, that was our day.

Stuff...

Well,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

We have been busy!!! With softball 4 nights a week, the busyness of life with a 2 1/2 year old and a 6-whoops! I mean 7 month old, I can hardly find time to post! Here are some of the things that are happening around here...

Dealing with Broody Chickens...

One of our chickens has been sitting on her eggs (we have no rooster, so they can't be fertilized) and we have been trying to get her off the eggs. We tried throwing her out but she kept going back in. So now we are dipping her in water every time we go out there and she is in the nesting box. (Not that this works any better than just throwing her out, but hopefully it will speed up the process.) Anyways, the hen has not stopped laying on her eggs... yet.?

Biking...

Just now Dad (the link is to our family blog (which mom and Dad should post on) which never does get posted on) and I went on a 12 mile bike ride. We did it in about one hour which isn't too bad for time.
