New addition in the blog family

New Blog in the works

http://mooresvillebraves.blogspot.com/

Since we are spending much of our time on the ball field I am putting an All Star blog together for the parent's to take a look at and add photos to.
For easier access I have added it to the right column under Friends and Family.

The Mooresville All Star Braves

What's so special

Does the dog really have to do something special to get on the blog? At this point in the day he had not run off with anything that was not his, don't get me wrong he will drop it eventually but not until we have to yell drop it about 10 times and if he gets the chance and does not get caught he will eat it quietly in the other room. Sooo the answer is yes, the special thing of the day was he was knocked out by the heat from being outside running around, we love love love our invisible fence!!!

Swim Meet

Even though this was the third swim meet this was the first one I was able to attend and take photos. I was impressed with Harrison's swim technique in this competition he is really impressive to watch. The races they had were Breast stroke, Back stroke, Butterfly and freestyle and he came in 3rd for breast, 1st for Backstroke, 3rd in Butterfly and 2nd in freestyle.

Capping off the weekend

Last day of the weekend we visited a drive in for a double feature, one for them-Toy Story 3 and one for us-Grown Ups. I love Adam Sandler and he keeps getting better and better with every movie he makes-this one was sooo funny, really a must see!! Good thing we put the kids to sleep before our movie, it was PG-13 and not sure I would even want my 13 year old to see it yet.

I love a parade

Day 2 of the 4th festivities we visited Troutman to watch the county Independence day parade

Symphony in the park

We started the 4th weekend at the beautiful Village park in Kannapolis, we had a picnic while listening to The Charlotte Symphony Orchestra and watching a beautiful fireworks show synchronized to music. It was a perfect evening.

Happy birthday to me

The ad's say What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, I would like to keep the memories and let that new age I have become maybe stay. I had the best 40th birthday I could have ever asked for, starting at the beautiful Wynn Las Vegas with a view from the 57th floor. We toured almost every hotel on the strip, saw a great show, visited downtown, walked our legs off, had some expensive coffee, slept in the most comfortable bed ever, went to bed and woke up to the most amazing view every day, ate some great food and I won $5.00. It was really something, truly fantastic!!

Visiting Julien's auction summer sale of pop memorabilia at Planet Hollywood

We saw this Michael Jackson glove sell for $160,000.00, we saw many other big sales it was pretty cool to witness.

My birthday dinner at Carnevino a Mario Batali restaurant

On our way into The Beatles Love Cirque Du Soleil, it was awesome

Caught in the net

Dad and Delaney got caught in the net of the bounce house and they could not get out, too funny!

Recital Time

This was the night we have been waiting all year for, well actually 5 years. She has been waiting the the chance to dance on stage her entire life and it was worth the wait!! The excitement in her eyes and the confidence she had was incredible, we all were so proud of her. Sitting in the audience cheering her on was me, Jason, Harrison, Grandma, Grandpa, Nana and Gramps. It was really wonderful to have people that love us here to cheer her on since we are all so far away it means so much more when they can take time out of their busy lives to share these joyous moments with us.

Hello confidence here I am

Indy or Bust

I was off on my on to Indy for a weekend of celebration. On Saturday was the marriage of my cousin Amy and Stephen and Sunday a birthday party for my Grandmother who turned 90. I stayed with my parents and I was also able to visit with family including my brother, sister-in-law and my adorable niece Layne. It was a wonderful weekend.

Mooresville Braves All Star Team

After spending an entire day at the fields these boys all looked pretty good considering it was 98degrees with no breeze.
Hey batter

Beginning of the day-everybody ready to go

Pregame huddle

I feel a little behind since we have had a bit of a whirlwind here at the K Ranch. So many things have happended that I just never had a chance to get posted so hang on and here we go!!

The Mooresville Braves All Star Team started the season playing a 3 game tourney on Saturday June 12 in South Charlotte, it was a long, hot and painful day for the team. The team did a great job hanging in there with some of the best traveling all star teams in our area. We lost all three games but since we are the newbies we are chalking this one up to experience. Way to go Braves never losing the faith!!
