You win some you lose some

We started out our day today bright and early at the ballfield. Game 1 began and due to a referree error, Y's team took a loss. Bummer....it was as the game was tied and the runner was tagged on a double play, but the ref saw it a different way. We had just enough time to eat some lunch and then headed to another park for game 2. Y pitched four of the 6 innings and team A won 8-1. And we even had a homerun during game one! Pretty exciting! Can't beat that!

Next up is a tournament next weekend in SLCity. If they win this tournament they will advance to the WBBA world series tournament.

I posted some pics on my FBook page...but wanted to share some here too since some of you don't have FBook.

Feeling good during game 2.....they got an early lead and never stopped....

This evening we got to meet our two step nieces for the first time and played some mini golf with them....as you can see below everyone is waiting their turn....patiently in the heat.

Y.....who turns 13 in just a few more weeks!!

Kaylee..

and Lauren...

It is hard to believe that we head back home tomorrow. The rest of this week has gone by fast and I am really not looking forward to heading back to work on Monday morning.

Thank you to those of you who have sent notes of encouragement to me and prayers for me and my family. I appreciate them all. Each day gets better and I am ready to get home and get in routine again. I am thankful for my hubby and stepson who have kept me occupied this week. I love these two guys and can't imagine life without them.

Tomorrow will be a sad day as it always is when we leave Y....but we hope to see him again soon. He has agreed to fly out to see us as he was against it for many months. Hoping and praying that he doesn't change his mind.

I have been reading a book this week, 90 minutes in Heaven by Don Piper. My aunt had bought the book for my Grandpa and he had begun reading it before he passed away. I found it at Walmart this week and spent time between Y's games reading it. I have one chapter left and I must say that it has been helping me cope this week. If you haven't read the book, I suggest it. The first few chapters where he describes heaven is amazing. I know one day that my grandparents will all be standing there with open arms welcoming me home and I look forward to that day.

Off to spend time with my guys.
