Ashleigh and her Big L


Papa, Ashleigh & Nana (Kyle's AWSOME parents)

Monday was Ashleigh's birthday, she turned 9. I cannot believe the time has gone by so fast! WE started out at practice and then we had our family dinner party for her at her favorite place TEXAS ROADHOUSE! All of our families came to celebrate with her. All except for her favorite uncle Juan and his lil family. We had not all taken the time to get together like that in a long while and we had a blast. She was surrounded by grandma's(my mom, grandma and Kyle's mom), papa's(Kyle's dad and my dad), her FAV Aunt Tina and uncle Henry, her bubba Jonathon, her momma and her 2 dad's Kyle and Lee Roy!

Ashleigh - I am so proud of the young lady you are becoming. You love your family with all of your heart and we love you just as much! You love to sing and LOVE the Black Eyed Peas and Michael Jackson. This was your first year in softball and you ROCKED IT! I cannot wait to see how the fall league turns out. You have 3 homeruns and too many doubles and triples to count! You love to sing in the kids praise team at church with Ms Sharon and Ms Jenny. You love to spend time with your Papa Jake and LOVE when he takes you to Texas Rangers' games. Harley and Mia love you too. Jonathon thinks you are the BEST sister in the WORLD! You love shopping with Nana Lizzy and getting Manis and Pedis too. <3>

May is looking good ~ Happy Mommas day!

Our softball girls are 6-0-1! Lee Roy and Chris are doing a wonderful job and I am really LOVING the whole team mom thing. Friends and Family support for the team and Ashleigh has been great, her teacher even came out to watch her play. It so happened that she hit her 1st homerun that day! (she has 2)

Friday my parents came back from Kansas City and called the kids and I to go see IRON MAN 2! They are such cool g-parents! So off we went to Southlake Harkins Cine-Capri... IT WAS AWSOME! I just saw the first one on the sunday before and I fell in love.

Did I mention momma brought back treats from KC.. Jack StackBBQ sauce and Tippin's Pie YUMMY! She loves LR and I ;)

Anywhoo.. Saturday Game Day: Ashleigh catches a line drive throws it to 1st and gets a double play! She is really loving this softball thing. We also FINALLY got our new team unis and they are almost perfect. The team name was misspelled but the girls still looked great!

Sunday: Mothers Day: We celebrated with my awsome, beautiful, fun, smart and TRUE BLESSING of a momma on Saturday because Kyle and his dad got Ranger tickets for Nana Sandy (bcause she ROCKS and Nana Sandy is the BEST)and they were taking her to the ball game for mothers day. My kids are blessed they have grandparents pouring out of their ears! LOVE IT! Sunday afternoon my love had to work so he took me to lunch and off to work he went. I as always ran to my mommas and spent mommy/val time which I can NEVER have enough of. We ran errands, we had sno cones, we saw my grandma and great-grandmother, 4 generations of mommas. I know LR was sad he missed my great-grandma she LOVES her some "Rroy" as she calls him...lol!

Sunday night.. Kyle and the kids took me to dinner. Nothing better than watching the SUNS beat the SPURS in SA... while eating hooters.. :) DON'T JUDGE ME.. it works for everyone involved! :p

To my mommy: Thank you for everything that you do. The love and encouragement that you show all three (yes three me, LR and Tina)of your kids and grandkids is amazing! Lee Roy and I are so proud of you for finally finishing up your degree and having the courage to start a Grad program! I love you with ALL of my heart YOU ARE MY BEST FREIND!
