Softball Awards
May 4, 2011
I just love working so close to Danielle's school so that I can run over to awards ceremonies and sporting events without missing too much school. Danielle's softball team ended the season this year with only one loss, and she got to play a little first base and a little outfield, as well as catcher. Still, the position where the pitcher throws the ball straight at her face appears to be her favorite one. That's my fearless little girl!

Number 67
March 20, 2011
Danielle has started softball season once again, and this year, she's wearing jersey 67. I told her she's bound to have a strong season, since her number is my birth year. (Last year, her jersey was 14--my birth date and my lucky number.) She's playing catcher in these pictures, but they've also had her playing at right field and at 3rd base, depending on the game and the best match for the team's needs on that particular day. I'm a little bit chagrined that her games start before I get out of school, so that I don't get to see much of them, but if I rush out the school parking lot as soon as the last bell rings, I can catch the last inning or so of the games. So far, the team is undefeated. Go, Garfield Cubs!

We're Putting on a lot of Mileage This Week
February 21, 2011
This is going to be quite a busy week, but in a really good sort of way. That being said, this is something like what my driving map will look like:
Brianna's got auditions for "Hairspray," on Wednesday, possibly with callbacks on Friday. Nicholas has track practice every day after school, plus his first track meet on Thursday. Danielle has softball practice every day after school except for Wednesday. She'll find out this week whether she'll be on A, B, or C team, so it's a big week for her. She also has an indoor soccer game on Friday evening and on Saturday afternoon.
This week is also my brother-in-law's birthday, so there's a pizza party gathering tomorrow night in his honor. My sister-in-law Julie is making a trip out from Washington with her new baby Nathan this week, so on Friday night we are having a reunion pizza party for all family and friends to gather together to visit with her. (And I finally get to meet my new nephew!)
In addition, this week we've got to work on Danielle's biography project and Nicholas' History Day project, both of which still need a lot of revision and supervision. Bree also has an orthodontist appointment, at which time hopefully they'll give us a definitive answer on when she will finally get those things off--we've got senior pictures to schedule. Finally, we've got to figure out how to find the time to make the house clean and sparkly before our annual Red Carpet Oscar Party this coming Sunday.
Busy, busy, busy, but I'm totally looking forward to the week!

Thanksgiving 2010
November 29, 2010
Despite being sick for nearly all of vacation, we had a great Thanksgiving. Lisa, Devin, and Bailey came up (Taylor was with her dad in Oakland), and Jim and Kathryn joined us for our feast. Ham, turkey, mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, deviled eggs, pumpkin pie, lemon meringue pie, sparkling apple cider--the works. We ate til we couldn't eat anymore. Not long after, we went back for more. During dinner, I asked everyone to say something they were thankful for, as I do every Thanksgiving. Our responses this year?
Bailey--I'm thankful for parents, because they get you stuff.
Devin--I'm thankful for everybody I know, even the mean ones, because they've taught me I can face them.
Danielle--I'm thankful for food, family, and when cousins and aunts come. I'm also thankful for pizza and softball. The emphasis is on the FOOD.
Taylor (by phone)--I'm thankful for all my family and friends.
Nicholas--I am thankful for this wonderfully wonderful dinner.
Kathryn--I'm thankful for good teachers, because I can learn so much, and for this day because it's been good so far.
Brianna--I'm thankful for everyone being able to be together, and not just getting together once a year.
Lisa--I'm thankful for family and our extended definition of that, and that we can all be together for the holidays.
Doug--I'm thankful that in these tough economic times, we have too much food, rather than too little.
Jim--I'm thankful for economic easements instated by the government.
Donna--I am thankful for our family, and how we are blessed with not just the family we are born into but the ones we have chosen to be family as well.
On Friday Lisa and I took the kids to the Oh Wow Nickel Arcade, and later to the pool room. Saturday Laura came up to join us, and we converged on the baseball field at our neighborhood park for the annual Mayes Girls Thanksgiving Softball game. I think this might have been my favorite softball game so far, since it started raining on us during the middle of the second inning. Softball in the rain is far more desirable than our ill-timed 100+ degree game at the Fourth of July celebration! That evening we all gathered for one of our famous family and friends pizza nights, and then the adults all headed out to Thai Fusion for a little karaoke. What a blast! We closed the place down, as we have been occasionally known to do, and then Doug, Laura, and I came back home and talked well into the night.
Although we missed the members of our family who weren't with us, I am so thankful that so many of us are able to get together and really have fun. I love my family!

Softball in July
July 19, 2010
I'm not sure whose idea it was to have a family softball game in Fresno in July (okay, okay, I do know whose idea it was--Lisa and I are just not claiming responsibility), but softball in 100-plus degrees is not as pleasant as you might think. Don't get me wrong--we had a great time because we know how to have fun, but I think next summer we're gonna find us a field with lights and play at, oh, say, ten o'clock at night. It'll probably cool down by then, at least to the mid-eighties. Lisa's team was Team Undeclared (a little indecisive, if you ask me), and my team was Team Stealth Ninja Monkeys. It was so hot we forgot to keep score, so we're just callin' this one a draw. By the way, don't you just love the grandmas in their referee jerseys?
