Goodbye Ball Park

Cyndi's Angels Baseball Massacre
The Lil Eagles played Cyndi's Angels and just as the title states they got massacred!The score was 16 to 1! BOO! HISS! BOO! Kayleigh scored the only run!

Day of Redemption
The Lil Eagles played Ben Franklin Hotshots, let's just say they weren't so HOT! It was the 2nd time they played them, and Lil Eagles won! The score was 16 to 12! Yeah! Go! Eagles! Go!

Last Game of the Season
Lil Eagles played their rival team Holliday Diamond Divas. The Diamonds shined! They beat the Lil Eagles 11 to 4.

Although the Lil Eagles didn't win many games, they played hard and learned a lot this season! We will wait to see what next season brings!?!

Friendship

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
John 15:12-13

I loved this lesson! I have been blessed with so many wonderful friends over the years.

Some of my very best friends were made in grade school: Brooke, Amanda & Kristi. We all grew up in the same neighborhood. We all stayed close during high school even though Amanda moved to Iowa Park.

Of course we had our share of fusses. We all shared moments of jealousy when new friendships were developed. Some other very good friends from high school: Jennifer, Julie, Tammy, Patricia & Rhonda.

Things change & people change. Some friendships remain while some grew apart. Some of these friendships have recently been renewed thanks to Facebook.

Other dear friends have been made as an adult: Sharon, Lula Jane, Joyce & Debra(passed away)

I also have many dear friends in my family! I am so thankful to have such a strong, loving and supportive family.

Many people will pass through your life as acquaintances and nothing more. You will meet others whom you will get to know a little more but to whom you can't quite bare your soul.

Strong friendships take work. Only weeds grow if we do not tend the garden! A beautiful friendship must be planted, watered, fed, weeded and nurtured.

Thank you God! You are my very best friend! I am so glad I can bare my soul to you. You never turn your back on me and you love me unconditionally! Please help me to be the very best friend I can be and to tend my friendship garden!

Walkin' & Talkin'

I love my mother! She told me when school was out she was going to get me moving!

I am not proud of the weight I have gained. It is harder to be overweight when you have been thin, than if you have always had a weight problem.

No more excuses!
We are walking everyday!
We went to Lucy Park and walked the trails and up to the waterfall. I hate to have my picture taken since I have been overweight so the fact that I have posted it on my blog is a huge thing.

Yesterday we walked at her house. They(Mom & David) live out in the country so they have lots of beautiful scenery.

Today we walked at the Lake Wichita Park. We saw 21 tiny frogs, 4 baby ducks & their mama & a giant turtle. The girls, mom & I had a picnic, it was a lot of fun!

I am so thankful to have such a supportive family and that they love me!

Fun Filled Friday

Kayleigh & I went to City View to attend my nephew(Andy's)Kindergarten Graduation. It was so cute! They sang a few songs & walked across the stage to get their certificates. He is so smart and is in the gifted and talented program! We are so proud of you Andy!
Aunt Dee came in town to watch Kayleigh's baseball game. We all went to eat and visit before the game. Kayleigh's team Lil Eagles played Crush. Aunt Dee got lots of pictures of the kids and of Kayleigh. I was sad we didn't get any pictures of Aunt Dee with the kids. Next Time! Aunt Dee we love you and enjoyed the visit! The game was great! They played hard and lost by one point 16 to 17! It was a fun filled Friday!

Sexuality

Yes, the title of this is sexuality. Don't be shocked!

Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his people; the sheep of his pasture.
Psalm 100: 1-3

This was a very interesting study.

Women often receive mixed messages concerning their sexuality from their families, the Church and the culture in which they live. Many Christian women have difficulty even talking about the subject of sexuality.

There is a difference between a healthy sexual attitude based on God's original design and a sexual attitude based on social and cultural values. A woman- made in the image of God- is both physical and spiritual. The physical is really a manifestation of what is in the heart and soul of a woman.

God designed physical intimacy to be more than a sexual act. The greatest act of love is to lay down one's life for another. True love involves desiring to come alongside a man to help him realize his full potential in every area of life. This is true intimacy.

Intimacy in marriage involves sacrifice, but when two people are committed to one another, the rewards far outweigh the complexities.

Part of the lesson was to make a list of things we admire & respect about our husbands.
Of course it is easy to pick out the things we don't like!

I enjoyed doing this: good intentions, supportive of our family, forgiveness of my flaws, example for our family, vital in our lives
I love my husband very much and am so thankful we have overcome so many trials!
I look forward to the years to come!

Track & Field Day

The last day of school in Holliday is always Track & Field Day! All the elementary kids participate in relays & races. This year Kayleigh participated in 4 races: 1 relay, the 50, 100 & 200 yard dash! She recieved THREE 1st place ribbons & ONE 2nd place ribbon! Way to go Kayleigh!

Memorial Day Memories

The day began with a trip to Chuck E Cheese! Emily, Nathalie & I, met Jennifer, Andy & Tommy for pizza & games. Kayleigh had school!:( The kids had a great time! Jennifer & I talked about family, books & movies.

We returned to Holliday to pick Kayleigh up from school. That evening she had a Girl Scout Bridging Ceremony. It was special this year for a few reasons. It is her leader Mrs. Lacy's last year, & her Aunt KK(Kelly) was here from Washington DC. Kayleigh was the narrator for the flag ceremony, she received several badges & a community service certificate! The evening ended with dinner at Grandmaw Elwanda's with all the family!
