Halloween weekend





What a spooky night was had! The weekend started off with Flame softball, carving pumpkins, scary movies, and ended with both Zoey and I going to parties. I was a bit nervous to let Zoey go to a boy/girl party but it’s that time I guess. Can’t believe how grown up she is. Happy Halloween!!!

Trolls at Point defiance zoo





We had a fun day finding all four trolls at the Point Defiance Zoo. This could be one of my last Fridays off before I start back up with NBC so taking advantage of a date day with my hubby.

“Birdy” Flames mascot


So a few days ago, I was talking to the coaches about the girls needing something in the dugout to get their minds off of things through the conversation we came up with a stuffed animal that looked like Birdie, which is Taylor’s little dog. We got a little burgundy bandanna and put birdie 00 on it and the girls are absolutely loving it! They’ve started taking turns taking it home between games and I think it’s really helping them in the dugout. I’m so happy!!!!

Pins are out!!!


Today Zoey got her pins out and everything is looking good! Things are in the right place and the break is already healing and back in place. Doc says she now has at least three weeks of PT if not 6 to 8. We are hoping for a speedy recovery so that she can get back to Softball. 🙏🤞🙏

Lunch with an old friend!


I got to see another great friend from the old msnbc.com days and it’s been a blast to reconnect. Rachel is doing great and loving living in the city. Looking forward to seeing her again.

Spring break



Since I am still recovering from my surgery, I wanted Zoey to have a good break so I told her to plan some sleepovers. Well, she did that and ended up having six sleepovers! She had a blast and it ended up being one of her favorite spring breaks yet. 😍

Softball tournament - federal way




Zoey had a tournament this weekend near Monique’s house and a bunch of family came to support her. Flame did an excellent job and got third place in the gold bracket. We are all so proud of them! I was still at home recovering and watched game changer and felt somewhat a part of things. I’m so thankful that they record the games so we can watch at home.

Zoey and Fern


For little league tonight, Zoey’s team played Fern’s team and Fern’s mom got a really good shot of them at the game! I think it was really fun for them to play against each other and have that camaraderie even though they were on other teams.
