FALL BALL

Shelby and Shaylie have been playing ball this FALL in Brigham on Saturdays. The girls and I have been spending our Saturdays at the ball park bright and early we get there at 8:00 and depending on when Shelby plays we usually haven't got home until 4:00.. I love to watch the girls play ball and improve each week..Shaylie is on Sliders team with all girls her own age and is having a BLAST. She is making more friends and LOVES her Coaches. Shelby got asked to play on a team from Ogden the Stealers and they to are all the same age, she to is having a BLAST, making LOTS of new friendships and LOVES the POSITIVE encouragement her coaches all give her. She goes to practice with a smile and comes home with a smile.

If they are each LEARNING and HAVING FUN all this chasing I do is worth it!

Shelby is out for the fall season now, she slid wrong into 2nd base, thought she would be fine (TUFF) told her coach she could still play, so he put her on 3rd base and the next base runner slid into her sore foot which then put her right down in pain. The swelling began we immediately put ice on it then continued with ice for two days she could walk on it but was in pain, but the swelling had left and no bruise... This story get better... The GREAT parents she has says we "will get you to the dr" but did not get her there until TUESDAY this did happen on a SATURDAY. Dr. Bitner says "yep you done a doosy," Torn ligaments and it looks so weak that if you kept walking on it it would of snapped.... The Dr. said, "If there is NO swelling or NO bruise but PAIN this is a GOOD sign of a PROBLEM"... PARENTS OF THE YEAR right here hehe... anyway Shelby has to be PATIENT and let it heal right so she can get back to doing what she LOVES... (Keep fingers crossed that we will have no surgery)
