They Actually Won!

Ashleigh's baseball team, the Rangers,actually won their 1st game of the tourney today, 12-2! They played sooo well, and Ashleigh even scored a run. I think we are all a little surprised that they won, but we knew we at least had a chance against this team. The next game...well, it might not be as pretty, but stranger things have happened. The next game is on Tuesday, so say a little prayer for them. Who knows, maybe the Baseball Fairy really did bring them good luck?!?! Oh, speaking of which, when Ash came in our room this morning with her baseball that the Fairy brought her, she was soooo excited!! I made Brian play the Fairy and he did a GREAT job! She never even budged, but you never realize how much the doors squeak until you are trying to play a Fairy!! Oh, at the game today, Ash got a hit and started to run to 1st base, but as she was running, the ball rolled in front of her and she decided to help the other team out by picking it up for them...Sorry Punkin', you're out. It was funny, but I felt bad for her because she didn't understand why she shouldn't do that. In all fairness, I guess we never went over the "don't help the other team" rule. Too funny.

Then we went to Fresca's for lunch because I really wanted a Caesar Salad, and theirs are so good. Let me back up...the other night when we went to Applebees I really wanted Fresca's and Brian wanted Applebees. So we did best of 3 Rock, Paper, Scissors...I won, but we still ended up at Applebees. How does that happen? I win the game and still lose. Anyway, Ashleigh spilled her tea as she was trying to sweeten it by herself. Bu we had a nice lunch. Then we came home and I left for the grocery store...oh, we all know how much I love the grocery store....NOT!! I had to buy some things for dinner tonight because Brian's Mom, Onkel Johann, and Tante Dagmar came over for dinner. I made a baked ham, potato casserole, Caesar salad, and garlic bread. It was all pretty yummy. It's funny how different things are in Germany. I always have to make them potato casserole because you can't buy those little hash browns in Germany. Isn't that funny? There's a lot of items that they can't get. But it goes both ways, when we went to Germany in 2002, we noticed the same thing.

After dinner, we played Yahtzee...2 games. I think I got 2nd out of 5 both games. We always have a lot of fun when we play. We let Ash play too, but she pretty much just rolled the dice and then counted the dots.

That's about it for today. If you could, please comment or send me an email letting me know if there are any weekends in June that you are not available to make it to the "Lazy Race". I want you ALL to come so I want to pick a weekend when most of you can...plus you won't want to miss it, it's going to be great fun, and you have a chance to win some summer money!! Sleep Tight!!

GO RANGERS! We are SO proud of them and Ash did a GREAT job!
Since you asked, the "Rowdy Rogers Racers" can make any weekend in June except for the 21st. (Baby shower.) If you want another team to win, then you might want to have it then! (Insert evil, wicked laugh here!)
Such a good idea - we can't wait...
