A couple of weeks ago Lily brought home a permission slip that said “Your child has been selected to participate in the NEISD (North East Independent School District) Elementary Track & Field Day”. The rest of the page talked about where to be, what to wear, what time to be there, etc. What it never [...]
I know I haven’t talked about it lately but I am still playing softball on Friday nights out at Alva Joe. Check out this awesome picture of Selena and I after the game that we won today.
Did you know that the NFL released the 2013-2014 schedules last week? I am almost 100% sure that we will be at the game in Houston on September 29th! Anyone wanna go with us?
JP and I spent the last two days in St Louis, MO. I don’t have a lot of pictures but I will share the best ones with you guys.
Most people that we know either stayed home or went to someones house to watch the Super Bowl. Since we didn’t have anywhere to go we walked over a The Cheerful Tortoise a few blocks from the apartment. I was sporting my Raven’s pull-over. This is how the San Francisco 49ers fans were. And this [...]
Today a bunch of us got together and headed to the AT&T Center to see the San Antonio Rampage play hockey. This was my first time going and it was surprisingly fun. I thought it was weird that they have the same colors as the San Antonio Spurs until I learned that they are owned [...]
Today I put together a group of San Antonio people to go watch the Seahawks vs Falcons NFL playoff game. Even Selena wore a Seahawks shirt. And we cheered our hearts out. Everything was going pretty well… Until the last few minutes of the game. I made a couple of new friends. And saw a [...]
Our favorite NFL team made it to the post season! Yes, the Seattle Seahawks played the Washington Redskins today. JP flew out to Portland this morning so I didn’t have my usual game watching buddy to hang out with. Instead I met up with my friend Erin at Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the game. [...]
I know I talk about softball a lot… because I feel like I play softball a lot! Playing two times a week is awesome until I feel guilty because I would rather travel with JP. Anytime he asks me if I want to go somewhere with him my first thought is always YES… then my [...]
I don’t think I have ever told you guys this before but I play on a softball team on Tuesday nights. The team name is “Each Hit” true to softball team name humor if you say the name fast enough it’s kinda funny! I don’t know the exact score but I know we won! p.s. [...]
We had our first game of the new season today. We lost to a team that we have played probably 10 other times and we can never seem to beat them. Ohh well cheers to a new season! Don’t we look so pretty in pink?
Monday Night Football? Yes, yes and yes! Since we were lucky enough to be in the right town for a Monday Night NFL game we decided to take advantage of it. We hopped on the trolley in front our hotel and headed to Qualcomm Stadium which is the home of the San Diego Chargers. Our [...]
We put our t-shirts back on and rooted for the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football. For a recap of the scandalous game you can click here.
It’s Game Day! We love love love our Seattle Seahawks and couldn’t wait to watch them whoop up on the Dallas Cowboys Cowgirls. We didn’t know anyone at the game but in typical social butterfly fashion I talked to a lot of new people. Sometimes I forget how friendly everyone in Seattle is. Check out [...]
We played another game of softball today. Last week we were rained out so this week we started out a little rough but ended up winning 6-2. Our record for the season so far is 3-0. Here is part of our team hanging out on the bleachers after the game. Sometimes there is a food [...]
Lily has asked me for a long time now to take her ice skating. There is a place not to far from our house named Northwoods Ice that I have meant to check out. When you go in you pay $10 per person for admission and skate rental. They also give you this sticker that [...]
It is hard to believe that it’s been so long but I played softball for the first time today since the end of April. I was out in the beginning of the season because of my surgery. Then we had a couple bi-weeks. Then I was out of town last weekend. Today I was running [...]
Today Kennedy’s Pub Assassin’s had a double header. I couldn’t play in the games but I went to cheer on my team. I didn’t really get any pictures during the game but here we are chilling on the bench afterward. Who are we pointing at? Here is a cockroach that I saw in the bathroom. [...]
We had our first game today as Kennedy’s Pub Assassins and we won 8-3! From left to right is Mike, Ed, Rickey, Jason, Charity, Chris, Michael, Selena, Me, Jimmy, Mary & Jessica. Me and our favorite umpire Javier. After the game we sat on the benches and drank some cold beers. Here are some of [...]
I went to pick up our t-shirts for our next softball season this week. The shirt in the picture looks black but it is actually forest green. Our first game is today at 5:50! I can’t play yet because of my surgery but I am gonna go watch them play. Here is our full season [...]
So you know my Sunday softball team that I talk about all the time? The “Not Them Again… Again” team? Well last time I talked about them on here I told you that we were going to change our team name this season. We went round and round about what to name ourselves and I [...]
I didn’t know about May Day until a few years ago when JP sent me flowers saying “Happy May Day”. I didn’t get flowers this year but I still remembered what today is! Since JP has been out of the town the last couple days I didn’t do much. You know what they say “when [...]
I have been playing softball through the San Antonio Sports & Social Club since 2009. Sure people from our team have come and gone but there are a handful of us that have been there pretty much every season since the team was formed 3 years ago. We have gone through a couple name changes [...]
I play sports 3 times a week. Friday I play softball with Beer-ific, Sunday softball with Not Them Again… Again, and Tuesday kickball with Kicking Balls. I don’t show up as often as I used to because sometimes I am out of town but when I do I always have a blast. I was going [...]
We won our first game of the kickball season today. I think the final score was like 15-1. Our team name is Kicking Balls. I know most of the people on this team from when I played softball out at Time Warner with them. I think I have to admit that kickball is my new [...]
Today we had our 4th softball game of the season. Although we had a ridiculous loss last week we won this week 13-5. Selena and me say CHEESE! Our record is now 3-1.
We had our first game of the Beerific Softball season today. I was convinced all day long that it would be canceled because it was raining and like 45° outside. Surely the San Antonio Parks and Recreation wouldn’t make us play in this kind of weather, right? Wrong. I was miserable the whole time as [...]
I could use one word to describe my day today… SOFTBALL. I showed up at Kennedy’s Softball Fields around 9:00am this morning to play in double elimination tournament with my Friday softball team Beerific. We ended up only playing 3 games before we were out of the tournament. Check out my awesome new shirt for [...]
We had our final night of softball as Not Them Again… Again today. The season consists of 6 weeks of regular games and then a 7th week for playoffs. We started the day in the #2 seed position and ended our day in the day in 2nd place. It is not a bad season [...]
Remember the softball team picture that I posted the other day? Someone pointed out that Ari needed to be photo shopped into the picture… then other people started making suggestions on what should be added or changed. Here is the original: And this is the final edited verison… much better huh? I think my favorite part [...]
A couple hours before our softball game I got a text asking me if I wanted to play in the softball game right before our game. I am not really one to pass on a softball game if I can help it so I totally said I was in. Multiple Scoregasms is a team that [...]
Although her volleyball season is quite over yet Lily’s team had their end of season party today after their game. The coach said something about each player as she handed out their trophys. I was so proud when she said Lily was by far one of her best servers. Serving is a huge thing in [...]
As I was getting ready for my softball game today I realized that it is the day before Halloween and I should be wearing a costume of some sort. I had zero time to plan for this one but this is the best I could come up with for a costume and still be able to [...]
I haven’t talked about softball on here for awhile so I figured I would share some info. We just finished our 4th week of play and our record right now is 4-0! Here is a picture of our entire team after this weeks win. From left to right: Rickey, Jimmy, Ari, Courtney, Jeremey, Matt, Jason [...]
When I found out I was going to California to visit JP for the weekend I told him we should go see a football game. Our first choice was the San Francisco 49ers but they had an away game so we decided on the Oakland Raiders. On our way from the hotel in Palo Alto to [...]
Did you know that Lily has been taking gymnastics for over 2 years? I have never talked about it on here because I have never taken her there. She has been going on Mondays and she is always with her dad on that day. Well a few weeks ago when I got the email about [...]
Did you know that The Cubs play at Time Warner Park? Ok, ok, we might be in San Antonio and we might be a co-ed team but our name is still The Cubs and we do play at Time Warner Park. We had a really good game this week and both teams played really well. At [...]
Lily started a new season of Volleyball today through the YMCA, their team name is Volleypops. I definitely think this is her sport. Here is an action shot from during the game. Do you see the ball? Do you see Lily? I put the arrows on there just incase you don’t. I am always so [...]
My eyes popped open at about 8:30 this morning. I layed there listening but I didn’t hear the kids. My first thought that they were still asleep… yeah right. I went upstairs and found them quietly playing Barbie dolls. I told them to get dressed because it was pinata time! Lily was totally ready and [...]
About 2 years ago I decided that I wanted to play on a co-ed softball team. Before I found the team that I currently play with I put my name down as an individual at Time Warner Park here in San Antonio, TX. They told me to leave my name and number and if anyone [...]
It is no secret that the Mariner’s are having about as good of a season as Seattle is a summer. But regardless of that how could a trip to Seattle be complete without a baseball game? Here are 4 of the 13 tickets that got my group into tonights game.! Even JP’s parents Marlene and Bob joined [...]
Today we began a new season of softball as ”Not Them Again”. Sure if was Sunday afternoon and like 100º outside but we were ready for some ball! We started our season with a 18-4 win! Jimmy and I say CHEESE! After taking this picture Erin declared that she should be a professional photographer. Self portrait [...]
Today I played in my first game of Flag Football ever. Our team name is Dos Escrubs. We didn’t have any practices before todays game so when I got there I was a little bit confused. After the game was over I grabbed my camera out of my bag and realized that it was dead so [...]
I’m pretty sure that I have told you guys this before but I am gonna say it again - I totally think JP is the smartest person I know. He knows a lotta stuff about a lotta stuff. I am always asking him questions and in turn I am constantly learning from him. If you have [...]
I love it when people come to our softball games so naturally I was thrilled that Amanda, Stephanie and David were coming with me this week! They were playing but I knew that would be up in the stands cheering us on. It was actually the perfect game for them to come to because we [...]
We had our 2nd game of the spring SSC season today. We had a 9:30pm game and won! Here is “Not Them Again”! Our record is now 1-1. Besides the actual game one of my favorite parts of playing softball is hanging out with my friends afterward. Here is me and Jen! And me, Jen, [...]
We started a new season of softball today. Well at least 7 of us did. We had 5 people who couldn’t make it to todays game. We were scrambling in the last few minutes before the game to find people to fill in. We ended up playing with only 9 players. We lost the game [...]
Lily had her very first volleyball game of her entire life today. She played through theYMCA on a purple team named “Crush”. Here is a picture of her that I snapped while they were warming up. Here she is on her very first serve. It’s so cute because since they are so small they serve [...]
I went and picked up our t-shirts for the new softball season that starts on Sunday! We are sapphire again. Same color, new logo! This morning I was getting ready for work and JP said “Did you hear that?” I said “What?” he said “On the radio” I was like “Uhh no, what did they [...]
For a few years now Lily has had an interest in volleyball but she has always been to young to be on an organized team. I have spent lots of time bumping the ball back and forth with her. She come a long way since the first bump. About a month ago I read on the [...]
