Weekend in Review...

Piano Recital...Baseball...Horses...Mother's Day...Dresses...

On Friday night Cameron had his piano recital. I am VERY proud of him. He did a fantastic job!! Here is a picture of Cameron with the other students and his Piano teacher.


It was a LONG program but I'm not complaining...however...there was a Taliban Terrorist in the back row who was overheard saying, "If I had a choice I'd choose waterboarding over THIS anytime..."



Here is Cameron waiting for the recital to begin...he is sitting next to a girl who goes to his school. After the recital I asked him who the little girl next to him was...he said, "Daaaaaaaaaaaadddddddddddddd!!!!!" Can anyone help me to understand what that means???? I think this picture might help answer my question...



On Saturday Cameron had a big game...a battle for first place. It was a very exciting game. It was a real nail bitter until the last out. Unfortunately his team lost 4-2. But that's okay...it's not whether you win or lose...it's how you play the game. I'm just so glad Cameron enjoys playing; it's a good opportunity to get some fresh air and to enjoy the great outdoors!!! It's also good for me. I get to interact with the other parent as we sit in our chairs and watch our team give their best effort!


Like I said it was a close game. The other team scored all their runs in the first inning. The other team's first run came when our third baseman, who comes from such a nice family and who has terrific parents, missed a slow grounder which went right between his legs. The next run came when that kid I just mentioned missed a pick off throw!!! It was thrown right to him but the punk missed it!!!! It went right through his hands!!!!! How???? I don't know!!!! How do you miss a ball that's thrown right at you????? The third run came when this SNOT NOSED kid playing third base, who has NOOOOO business playing anything but water boy AND who can't catch a ball to save his stinking life dropped a ball that was thrown to him when a player was trying to steal third...all the lousy, sticking kid had to do is catch the ball!!!!! He would have been out by a mile!!!! HOW HARD IS IT TO CATCH A LOUSY, STINKING WHITE BALL...I MEAN COME ON!!!!! CATCH THE BALL BUDDY!!!!!!!! HERE, LET ME TIE THE BALL WITH A RIBBON AND HAND IT TO YOU - MAYBE THEN YOU CAN CATCH IT!!!!!!! :)


Here is Cameron crushing the ball to the right side...








On Sunday Kelsie had to go to work...on the weekends I drive her to her job. If I didn't mention it...Kelsie was asked recently if she wanted a job riding a horse. The horse's name is Blackjack. Apparently the man who owns Blackjack has a bad back and he can't ride him anymore. Kelsie pays me $5.00 to drive her back and forth...I haven't seen a penny of it yet...BUT I WILL!!!


Kelsie has become a beautiful young lady...here she is being checked out by some young stallions...




She had to lock them up to keep them away from her...




Here's a video of Kelsie hard at work...shouldn't the horse be the one getting paid?







Kelsie has her first dance this Friday night...or maybe it's the first dance I'll let her go to...I can't remember. Over the past few weeks she has been busy shopping for the perfect dress. She found a couple of dresses that she liked and she needs help in deciding which one to wear. Can you let me know which one you think she looks best in?

Do you like this very classy, sophisticated black dress which makes her looks like a beautiful, elegant, sophisticated young lady? Or...or...or...do you like the one which makes her look like a....





If she was ever to walk out of this house in this dress she would be grounded for life!!!!!

When you look at the next three pictures I want you to ask yourself what you see. Do you see clumps of crabgrass? Do you see weeds? Do you see hours and hours of yard work? OR...OR...OR...OR do you see OPPORTUNITY?????







I SEE OPPORTUNITY!!!!! THE OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME THE NEXT TIGER WOODS!!!!

Is Kelsie taking votes on which dress to wear to the dance?

Ken, on second thought, your golf swing probably doesn't need help. Maybe the golf swing helps the weed cutter swing!!

If Kelsie is taking votes, Lauren, Alison and myself vote for the black one.

Thank you Crokes!!! I am sure you are wondering why her mother allowed her to buy that OTHER dress. Well, let's just say that it looked different without those shoes on AND I said that if it's even under consideration, she would have to wear a jacket with it. Oh my! I like the black dress better too!!!!

If anything it's good exercise. Personally, I like the black dress - it's more sophisticated looking.
Love, Mom, Grandma
P.S. Thank you Sheri for the Mothers'Day wishes!

Ken: I have not laughed that hard in awhile; "the third baseman that comes from a nice family"! How is that relationship going? Very funny! I will not comment on the dress but I agree with the grounding if that dress makes it into the public :) The Dad in me speaking!
