and so it begins

Softball season started a few weeks ago. Because of Ryan's surgery and the rain he hasn't played very much but for one of his games I took our neighbors dog. He loved being outside and just wanted to walk around the whole night. We got in about 20 minutes before the game and then when i went to sit and watch he started whining so off we went again. I walked him the whole game. He was one happy pup.


Ryan plays Tuesday & Thursday Night Softball. Here's to a 25 game season!

Chilly Camping

For our YW activity this week we went to one of the girl's lacrosse games. She plays for Olympus and did great! It was freezing if you couldn't tell from the picture and it even started snowing a bit during the game. Girl's Camp is in 8 weeks and we're beginning to worry that we might be camping in the snow. I'm so ready for Summer!

Bee's birthday

We went to our first Bee's game of the season Saturday for Syd's birthday. We got to know the players well last season and none of them are there this year so that was kind of a bummer. It was freezing! They had fireworks after and it didn't seem quite right to be shivering during them, not used to that.

We went to Mimi's for dinner then went to Iceberg after the game, of course.

Ryan got his poor ingrown toenails operated on last week. He's had problems with them for about 10 years and says it's because of playing so many sports. They're still pretty tender, but he has no infection so they should heal up pretty quickly in the next few days. After the doc numbed him he watched the whole procedure. I thought I could handle hearing the details but got really faint when he was explaining it and had to leave the room and go lay down. 

Yikes! No fun at all

Gifts

Sydney got me this herb garden for my birthday. 

I'm really nervous about killing the plants. I've already used the oregano and parsley. So far, so good. It's so great to have fresh herbs!

We went up to Ryan's parents house Sunday. His mom made me an ice cream cake that was delicious and got me an assortment of cookie cutters since all I had were Halloween ones. We also got a burger press. The girls painted nails and we played games and had a great time.

Monday night we went over to Sydney's neighbor's house and went hot tubbing. Ryan LOVES hot tubs and could stay in them for hours. It's definitely on his "must have" list when we get a house someday. It was getting too hot for me though and started to rain pretty hard so I got out.
