April 2025

This little guy is tough. Look at the kids that he is having to go up against. He has gotten so much better throughout the season and I am so proud of him. Landon gets in there and fights for the ball with anyone. 

A patient's mother gave me this puzzle that she said was impossible. I didn't have much time to work on it because of sports every night after work. Well, I finally found some time during the kids Spring Break. It was a very difficult puzzle and I was extremely happy to finish it. 

Spring Break and we didn't go anywhere. That meant we had plenty of time for some puzzles. Brinley really got into them and did two whole ones on her own. Landon, not to be out done, did one too!

Landon wanted to pick his whole puzzle up just to prove that he could do it. 

Landon and I finally found some time to make it over to McKinley's house to finish the legacy game that we had started when he was off on paternity leave with Nora. Fabled Fruit was a decent little game. It became a little monotonous at times, but it was a great way to ease us into legacy games. 

Brinley's team played Bryan Station, which has her friend Isla's sister on it. Isla will actually be joining the Station team next year. 

I got this 2,000 piece puzzle because it was Disney characters. We didn't have a table big enough to lay it all out. I am so glad that we didn't lose any pieces because at one point we had it on three different tables. 

Landon had tryouts and was selected to join the Southeastern Slam. He is ready to get back together with all of his baseball friends. 

Brinley decided she had enough of the long hair and got it all chopped off again.

Aunt TayTay came to watch Brinley play in her ballgame. Nora couldn't come because JV doesn't play until late and she had already been put to bed. 

They were having a concert at Kroger Field and I really liked the artist, Tyler Childers. At the last minute we decided to go downtown for dinner and I just drove over to see if we could listen in. Well, it was perfect timing. The parking attendants had left and we pulled into a spot right next to the stadium. We stayed and listened to about 7 or 8 songs. We even caught a really awesome drone show. 

Happy Easter. Even though the kids are too old, they still got Easter baskets. They both said they wanted bunny pancakes because it was a tradition. Landon doesn't like chocolate chips so he covered his in whipped cream and sprinkles. 

Look who the kids ran into at church for Easter, Nora. 

Grandma and Grandpa came up to catch the kids playing in their games.

While they were in town we celebrated an early birthday for my mom. Landon delivered breakfast in bed to Grandma. 

Landon and I pulled a double header. We went to his game and then headed over to watch the end of Brinley's JV game. 

I finished another book. It was a really interesting read. This guy graduated college and then decided to join the monastery. It talked a lot about their policies and the way they think about life. 

We made a surprise visit to my parents house in Livermore. We were on our way to Granddaddy Clayton's and made a quick bathroom stop at my childhood home. 

Granddaddy and Memom's house flooded and had 18 inches of water standing inside. A bunch of the family showed up to the house on this weekend to try and help clean up and see what could be salvaged. It was devastating inside. So much had to just be thrown into the dumpster. They are antique collectors so they had tons of things all throughout the house. It was great to see them, but not under the circumstances. 

We came back from western Kentucky and at about 10 at night Landon remembered that he had homework due the next day. As you can see he was a little tired and Jennifer was helping him type. He kept being woke up by his mother and then saying that his eyes were open the whole time. 

Taylor and Nora came to watch Landon play. The game was relatively boring and Nora was fading quickly so she decided to head out before the game ended. When she left they were losing 13-5. They brought Landon into pitch for the first time of the year. You know. What did they have to lose. Well, they made an amazing comeback to win the game. It was awesome and it was the first moment I saw Landon happy on a ball field this season. It was so great to see. 

It was that time to donate blood again. I try to be pretty regular about my donations and try to get in about every 2 months when eligible. This was my 70th donation. 

Another night of softball and a photographer came and took shots of all the girls. Again they got some really great action shots of our girl.
