Things are going well here. Ed is staying busy with his job, he really likes it. The whole getting laid off from Nabors was a true blessing. This is so much better and he is so much happier. We love having him home earlier everyday and every weekend!!!

I'm keeping the roads hot between here and Hooker and here and Guymon. I feel like I live in the suburban most of the time! lol On the good side though, I have got a lot of reading done so far while I sit in town waiting on the girls for everything! :o) Dakota keeps telling me I need to read her Twillight book - that should occupy my time for a while! lol

The girls' softball team is doing okay, they don't quite have as good of a team as they have in the past, but they are all coming along. The girls are on the younger of the two teams, so most of the girls (besides my two and one more) this is their first year to play major softball. We've got a few girls that are trying to pitch and doing a fairly good job, but being so young(although most of them did pitch in the minors last year), they tend to walk more girls than anything else. But I'm sure they will all get better with a little more experience! Dakota decided that she would like to try her hand at pitching and I have to say that she is doing awesome!! She's only been practicing for 3 weeks and I think she's doing just as well as the other girls that pitched minors last year. We got her a pitching coach and she's met with him once and she loves him, he is so awesome!!! She's really been practing and she will have more lessons with him soon. He told her to keep practicing and remember that she shouldn't expect to be a great pitcher in a few weeks, it took lots of time and practice and she is just the one to do that - she is so dedicated to everything she does!! So by this time next year, I think she will be an amazing pitcher!!!

The girls both amaze me with all their energy. They get up at 5:45 M-TH. and we go to town for them to run cross country. They run 2 miles each morning. Then they go straight to weight/speed training, then on to open gym for basketball and/or a basketball camp. Then when we get home, they are practicing basketball and/or softball. Jordan goes to gymnastics once a week, plus they have at least 2 softball games a week!! Last Monday night, their game didn't get over until almost 11:30. It was after midnight by the time we got home and in bed and they were up and ready to go run at 5:45. Me on the other hand was dragging all day! lolllll

Bryce is doing okay, still living in Shattuck. He's still not found a full time job. He's been doing odd jobs here and there and working some for my Dad on the ranch and for some local farmers. Not quite sure how he's managing to make it, but he is. He's still on the fire department and loving that. That is what keeps him in Shattuck I think, he's not about to give that up!!

Well, I think that should catch everyone up for now! :o) I'm hoping July will be a little less hectic, but I sort of doubt it! lol
