MY SISTER THE BALLER

AMY PLAYED SOFTBALL WITH THE CROSSROADS CLASS THIS SUMMER. WE ALL WENT TO CHEER HER ON ONE GAME. CALEB LOVED THE DIRT AND WALKING BACK AND FORTH.
RICKY, CINDY AND COOPER CHEERED FROM THE STANDS WHEN AMY GOT HER HIT.
AUBREY WAS AMY'S WATER GIRL.
AMY LOOKS FOCUSED READY TO GO IN AND PLAY!

WARMING UP FOR THE BIG HIT.
LOLO WAS SUPPOSED TO BE TAKING PICTURES OF AMY IN THE OUT FIELD, BUT THIS IS THE BEST PICTURE SHE TOOK.
THIS IS AMY'S HIT THAT I CAUGHT ON FILM. SHE RAN THE WHOLE WAY TO FIRST BASE! WE HAD FUN CHEERING FOR HER!


LOOK HOW HAPPY SHE WAS TO GET TO RUN TO FIRST. SHE DIDN'T EVEN GET TO STAY ON FIRST BASE! BUT SHE WAS VERY HAPPY.

SPRING HILL VOLLEYBALL IS BACK!

THE WEEKEND BEFORE VOLLEYBALL STARTED CHRISPY, CALEB AND I WENT TO DALLAS WHERE HE ATTENDED A TEEN LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE AND CALEB AND I VISITED TARGET. WE SWAM, TOOK NAPS AND ATE. SOUNDS LIKE FUN, HUH?

WE TOO SEVERAL PICTURES IN BED TOGETHER. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES!
CALEB WENT ON HIS FIRST MARY GO ROUND. HE LIKED IT, BUT HE WAS AFRAID OF THE GUY WHO OPERATED IT. I GUESS HE WAS A MALL CARNEY!
CALEB LOVED HIS BOATS IN THE POOL. HE HAD A GOOD TIME SWIMMING WITH HIS MAMA.
THE DISNEY STORE WAS MY FAVORITE STOP IN THE MALL. LOOK AT MY LITTLE DOLL.

THEN WE WERE OFF TO WORK. CALEB WAS CHECKING OUT THE LOCKERS FOR ME.
HE IS SOOOOO CUTE AND HE LAUGHS WHEN HE GETS IN.
ON ONE OF OUR FIRST DAYS MEGAN C. HAD A B-DAY AND MEGAN RUTTER MADE A CAKE TO SHARE. CALEB LOVES STRAWBERRY CAKE!

CHRISPY TAUGHT MY TEAM SOME PROBLE SOLVING SKILLS. I'M SO BLESSED THAT HE HAS THOSE SKILLS.
HERE IS THE 2008 VARSITY VOLLEYBALL TEAM. FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: CHRISTI, MEGAN E, AVERY, KAYLA, ALLI, ASHLEY, MEGAN R., SHA' AND MEG C.

WE ARE ABOUT 2 WEEKS AWAY FROM DISTRICT AND I CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH THEM COMPEATE FOR THE TITLE. WE HAVE A GREAT CHANCE TO WIN. I'VE KNOWN THE 4 SENIORS SINCE THEY WERE IN THE 8TH GRADE SO IN A WAY THIS IS MY SENIOR YEAR TOO.

I HOPE SOME OF MY FRIENDS CAN MAKE IT TO A GAME OR TWO. TUESDAY'S WE PLAY AT 7:00 PM AND FRIDAY'S AT 4:30.

I'M SURE I'LL WRITE MORE ABOUT THEM LATER.
