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 [...]

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 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 [...]

In the past I have told you guys a lot about my softball teams. I post a lot of team pictures but I never really post any action shots. If action shots are what you have been waiting for today is your lucky day! We have played our asses off every week for the last 6 [...]

Today we woke up and hung around the hotel room until it was time to get ready for the 1:05pm Mariners game in Surprise, TX. The field in Surprise is the spring training complex for the Texas Rangers. We met Bob and Marlene at the ballpark. After we had a burger we headed to our seats [...]

In typical Lily fashion she woke me up early this morning to tell me that she was hungry. It was a lot earlier than usual (6:30am) because of the time change. We got dressed and headed to the main lobby and picked up some breakfast and coffee. Then we came back to the room and [...]

I played in two games of softball today. I don’t have a picture of The Hurricanes but we won the game! The only picture I have from that game is this post game picture. Then it was turn for Not Them Again to play. Going into this game we were the #2 team in the [...]

On the way to school this morning Lily told me that her Dad was meeting her at the school this morning to give her her bike so she could participate in the Bike Rodeo today. The Bike Rodeo you ask? I didn’t really know what it was until I asked around a little bit. I [...]

When you are a kid and you fall and scrape your knee it’s only a big deal for a couple minutes. When your an adult and something like that happens you feel it for at least a couple hours… sometimes days. Remember back on July 10th when I got hit by a softball in the [...]

I played in two games of softball today. Both of my teams “Hurricanes” and “Not Them Again” won. The record for “Not Them Again” is now 4-1 and “Hurricanes” are 3-2. If you click HERE you can see the standings. Sadly this is the only picture I took at the field today. This sign makes [...]

We had our 4th game of the season today. After tonights game we are 3-1! This is what it looks like inside our dugout sometimes.  And here we are right after the game. Here we are making fun of the goofiest super hero lovin person we know. And just hangin cause that’s what we do. [...]

I played in a couple softball games today but I totally slacked on the picture taking. Here are some the cupcakes that I brought to the game with me. Yes, they are from Target! Like I said I snapped less than 10 pictures today. Here is Jimmy at 3rd. Michael telling us how it should be. [...]

I played in two softball games today. One with “Not Them Again” we won the game 16-3. I think its odd how dirty the camera lens is in this picture. Look at my hair! During the game I slid into 2nd and scraped by butt! Ouch! Then I played in another game immediately after that one [...]

So many parties, so little time. Me and JP talked a few times about what to do for the super bowl. When we woke up this morning we decided it was a stay in bed and watch tv all day kinda day. That is exactly what we did. Even Cheeky watched the game with us! GO [...]

Today I played in a softball tournament at Jefferson High School. Just yesterday we had a snow day and now today we are playing softball in 70º weather. Only in San Antonio! Here is our team The Charros. If you have ever watched East Bound & Down our team name will make you laugh! Here [...]

I played two games of softball today in 80º weather!  I haven’t played since December 5th but it feels like a lot longer than that. This afternoon Mario sent me a text asking if I can fill in on his team and I was all over it. So first I played a game over at Victory Sports Park [...]

Today I went to pick up next seasons softball shirts for our team. We start this Sunday!! Our team name this season is “Not Them Again”. After I picked them up I took a picture and posted it on facebook with a caption that said “For they said we shall be Sapphire”. Our short stop Jimmy [...]

Today Angela, Kari and I all went to the Hack Shack to hit some softballs. Its hard to admit but this is the first batting cage I have ever been to. This is what $20.00 worth of tokens looks like. For every 2 tokens the machine pitches you 10 balls.

I haven’t played in a softball game since December 5th when I played two games with Face Down Bats Up. I am very excited to let you know that the San Antonio Sports and Social Club season starts next Sunday! I am on two different Sunday teams. Ill play with “Not Them Again” and “Hurricanes” it [...]

Ok first I want to say Happy Birthday to JP’s mom Marlene! I wish we could be in Washington to celebrate it with you! Speking of Washington… I have been hesitant to cook fish ever since I moved to Texas. I mean living in the Pacific Northwest for so long completely spoiled me and made [...]

Me and JP headed down to Fatso’s Sports Garden to watch the Seattle Seahawks vrs Chicago Bears game today. Although its kinda far from our house we chose Fatso’s because that is where the passionate fans hang out. When we walked into the bar the entire bar… literally THE ENTIRE BAR started hooting and hollering [...]

We went to a football party at a friend of ours house. They said there would be lots of food so we decided to bring a desert. The Seahawks don’t actually play until tomorrow but its never to soon to celebrate. Seattle Seahawks Cake! What do you think? Erin says cheese! Sometimes I wonder why [...]

As we all know the Seattle Seahawks pulled off a major upset and defeated last years Super Bowl Champs the New Orleans Saints! Our friend Jared in Michigan is a huge Saints fan and this is what he has to say about the game. The next game up was the Indianapolis Colts vrs New York [...]

Today my friends he/she is a Seattle Seahawks fan. Here is the full view of the recently renamed JP’s Bar & Grill. GO SEAHAWKS!

This is too cute not to share. Lily’s dad emailed me this list that Lily made for Santa while she was at his house.  I totally know what she is trying to say on every item… do you? I also decided to post this one. This is a note we found on Lily’s side of the [...]

Did you know that Lansing is the capital of Michigan? We spent day #2 in Lansing with my brother Alex and his family. First we headed to Kelli’s cousin Brian’s house for some tailgating. Me and JP went for a walk down by the river. Don’t you love the fall leaves! Then we headed to [...]

Today I was a pick up player for “Face Down Bats Up”. Before the game even began the other team forfeited because they didn’t have enough players. We played anyways and had a lot of fun. After the game a guy came over and asked if I would fill in for another team. I played [...]

We ended our season today with a bang. If you make it to week 7 that means you are in the playoffs. We were the #3 or #4 seed. What would be better than a bunch of Ninja Turdles in Ninja Turtle masks? Here is Jan and Levi. Jason and Jimmy. Lanae. Cathy. Mel & [...]

We decided it was the perfect afternoon to go bowling. I haven’t taken Lily bowling in a very very long time. Last time I took her she could barely even pick up the ball much less be able to throw it down the lane. This time was much better. First things first though we had [...]

Here is a picture of almost our entire kickball team.

We won our game today… barely! The final score was 12-11 and it came down to last bats! Yikes!
