3rd Place Winners!

Jordan's softball team played a great game, but in the end lost to the first place team. The score was 3-9 and they played 6 innings in a 2 hour time period. The game was intense the whole time. We were pretty much neck and neck until the 5th inning when one of the other team's batters hit a ball way out to the fence and got 3 RBI's. Out girls took it really hard and started making mistakes, but did recover later in the inning. It was 4:00 in the afternoon and 99* degrees with no shade, but our team played great! The team officially placed 3rd in the district tournament and recevied trophies afte the game. The other 2 teams battled it out for 1st place with the 2nd place team winning both games and becoming the 1st place team in district. That was great because the new #1 team is the other Brownwood team and a few of Jordan's friends are on that team. But, hey!...........now we can start our summer and relax!

Jordan & the Softball Playoffs

Well, Jordan and her softball team are in a heated battle (literally) for the chance to advance to the state finals in the Freshman Girls District Softball Tournament. It is HOT and sunny outside and the team is playing really HOT! We lost our 1st game Tuesday evening @ 6pm to the team that is currently in 1st place today. We won our game on Wednesday evening and won both games we had to play last night (Thursday). We play this afternoon @ 4pm for the 2ND place slot against the #1 Brownwood team. We are the #2 Brownwood team. It will be a tough game, but one that we can win if we keep our heads on straight and play smart. If we win at 4pm, we will play again @ 6pm against the 1st place team (you remember.......the one we lost to in the beginning?). If we win that game, we play the same team again at 8pm!!!! Yikes.......this may be a long, tiring evening. Jordan is excited and ready to play and the rest of the team is pumped up as well. Wish them all luck and I will let you all know the results a.s.a.p.~~Amy

The 4th of July

The first week of July was great. Very relaxing, enjoyed family time, and of course fireworks and Independence Day! Seth's Dad and Becky were at our house visiting for the week. We had a great time! On Thursday, July 3rd, we went to San Angelo for an evening of San Angelo Pops in the Park complete with an orchestra-accompanied fireworks display. It was something Seth and I have always wanted to do for the 4th of July. The music was wonderfully patriotic and the fireworks were spectacular. We had tickets for reserved seats only 4 rows away from the orchestra! They also honored our veterans--including Seth and his Dad who each served in the Army. Jordan & Hunter enjoyed the show very much, but thought the very REAL canons that were fired throughout the show were a little too loud. The weather was a little hot and sticky at first, but after the threat of a thunderstorm passed, the temperatures cooled and a slight breeze kicked up. All in all, it was a great July 4th weekend!
