TWEET TWEET- Opening Day

Hey!!! It's Opening Day @ Ola! We are the 11/12 Ola Orioles. I can't believe that Trent is playing on the last field at Ola before he has to play on the biggest field at Sandy Ridge. Time sure does fly.

This is a great picture of Trent and his buddy Phenix. They have been playing together since they were 5 years old.

Some of the boys getting ready for the parade.

Great picture during the National Anthem.

Every single year during the Opening Day Festivities it is freezing and/or raining. This year it was cloudy, but started off really pleasant.... then  BAM! As soon as our game was to start @ 11:30am this burst of cold came. Trent pitched extremely well....no walks, 6 strike outs and only 1 earned run. But we lost 5-4. Our defense had a rough day. Trent did well though and that's what counts. (and I must say our team uniforms looked awesome!) I take full credit for that....lol

BRAVES COUNTRY TOUR

Saturday we took the kids on a tour of Turner Field. Braves Opening Day is right around the corner....

Inside the Club House!

Ok. Friends.... we need to get together only $150,000 so we can purchase (2) Sun Trust seats. That amount is for (2) season tickets for every game for 2 years! Come on... if we all pull together...... The seats are those right behind home plate. All your meals will be included and are cooked by a personal chef and there is a huge HD TV in front of your seats so you can watch the game live and on TV.

Father/Daughter Dance

Wow! I am sorry I have been such a slacker with this blog. Hopefully, I can get myself back in gear to maintain it! I've been so busy with work, council, hobbies and baseball that I have neglected it. Here are some things that I've wanted to blog about.....

I have been on Rock Spring Elem's School Council since the school opended 3 years ago. And finally I've seen one of my ideas come to life. The Father/Daughter dance was a huge success. Alyssa and Brett had a great time. Seeing all the little girls with their father or father figure was priceless.

She even got Brett to dance. (Actually I think he had to pull her out there)

Braves 2011

So today I took Trent to meet one of is "Idols." He absolutely loves Martin Prado who plays for the Atlanta Braves. What a nice person! I checked Trent and his friend, Hayden, out of school and off we went. Knowing the line was going to be outrageous I wanted to get there early. They were scheduled to arrive around 4. At 2:15 we were in line, in the freezing rain. Needless to say we were number #100 when we got there. We met a nice couple who was in line behind us with their teenage sons. They had brought a Thermos with hot chocolate and shared it with the boys. Trent was so nervous and excited. He had brought his Prado jersey and a baseball to have the players sign. The bench coach and 4 relief pitchers were also there. I took a baseball book for all of them to sign and a Prado baseball card. Everyone working for the Braves so was nice. Isn't Prado a cutie?

SNOW DAY

 Look at that face! Priceless....
