Awesome Athlete

My husband is an awesome athlete. I love watching him play and kick some serious butt. I love that he still stays active with two softball and one indoor football leagues each year.

On Monday nights in the summer and fall, Katie & Sarah Land and I get to watch our men play while we catch up. I just had to share Mike in action!

First, here's how much Sarah loves softball!

Day with the Mayers

I'm catching up a bit! Last week I was out of commission thanks to our National Sales Meeting and a surprise weekend, which I'll tell you about later.

Two weekends ago, we got to spend the day with some of our favorite people, the Mayers! We started the day by watching Colby's little league football game. On our way out, we happened to see Jeff Saturday there watching his son play, too. So cool! Then the guys went golfing, while we hung out at home. That afternoon, there was some touch football and pick up baseball going on while Jen, Averi and I hung out.

Averi and Colby seem to be Mike's biggest fans. While Colby and Mike were on the same team in touch football, Averi would chase Mike around the yard just yelling his name.

We got to see how grown up Averi is at almost two years old!! My favorite part was her trying to converse. She'd come up as serious as can be and say "Muh muh muh muh muh muh football game!" So cute.

After dinner and more time with the family, the babysitter showed up so the adults could go out. We had fun getting some grown up time in with Jen & Kev along with a few friendly games of pool. Here are fun pictures, thanks to Jennifer, of our night!

Rascal Flatts!!

Lindsay ended up being home this week after her grandpa passed away. Despite the sad situation there, I benefited by getting to see her!!! Twice in 6 weeks... HOW LUCKY!

Even luckier, she invited me to use two of her uncle's VIP passes to the Taylor Swift/Rascal Flatts concert on Saturday! I was already excited to see her home from Haiti, and the concert was a huge addition.

We had a blast at the concert, and it was so good to have her home for a brief time. Her uncle took great care of us from VIP access to the Green Room to front row parking in a special lot. I've never done a concert VIP-style, and I'm not sure I ever want to attend one without it again. :)

Oh, and the last four times Linds has been home, we've forgotten to get pictures. So this post is a MIRACLE!!

The guitar-style toilets in the Green Room bathrooms... Sweet!

Taylor Swift is stinkin' adorable! A fantastic performer.

Rascal Flatts, up close and personal.

And one more close-up, just to be sure we got a good shot!

Good night, Y'all!!

Summer Time, and the Livin' is Easy!

Saturday Mike and I went to my parents' house for a birthday brunch. Mom and my sisters made the most wonderful spread of egg casserole, blueberry muffins, fruit salad, coffee, etc. It was delightfully relaxing to enjoy breakfast with the family and to just sit back and chat. They spoiled me greatly and made me feel special.

Following that, we went to see mom and dad's house in process. It's ah-MAZ-ing! The outside is 90% complete, and the drywall had just been hung inside, so it looks like a house! They were supposed to begin painting this week, which will make it look even more finished. It's exciting to think they'll be in their dream home in a matter of months.

That afternoon, the Jameses and Lands came over to spend an afternoon in the sun with us. We had so much fun playing Baggo (even though Sonya is too good for it), Bocce Ball, and our newly developed POOL baggo. Plenty of food and drinks were enjoyed, and the weather could not have been more perfect. I wish I could replay Saturday every day. It was the perfect way to enjoy summer!

We couldn't resist taking many, many pictures of the adorable Sarah...
