Atlanta Braves vs. St. Louis Cardinals

WHAT A GAME!  What a DAY!  It was just Mike, Courtney and myself that went and we had the BEST time...the only thing that would have made it better was if Brittany and Ashley could have been there.

So we get there early and get Courts picture taken with a statue...what is it with her and statues?

Then I get her and Mike with the statue...

Notice the T-shirt Court has on??? YES, she LOVES Chipper Jones

So, we watch batting practice...

Then after about 2.5 seconds, Mike decides his belly has about 2 inches of room, so we gotta go eat.  

NOW...let me say that we had these tickets that allowed us into the 755 Club there.  THAT was nice!  To get to it, you get on an elevator with an elevator man! You ain't even gotta push the button to go up!

Then you go into the restaurant part...

that over looks the ball park. There was a buffet in there... but we didn't eat that.  I came for a HOT DOG and Court went for Chicken wings!So, we opted to eat outside that over looked the ball park...

It was still batting practice, so we wanted to hurry and eat and get to our seats, which was better than in the clubhouse table.

AND THEN...Courtney got her first glimpse of...CHIPPER JOOOONES...

and her second look...

Here he is batting....notice the blurry white line on the far left of the picture!  THA BALL!!!

Here is another pic of him batting....I took that one too and added his name! YES, I know...talent knows no bounds!  ha

There is Glen Hubbard for those of ya'll that remember him from a few years ago.  He's one of the coaches now...

Here's the dug-out or whatever it's called...

I put all the days pics here...

We had the "ALMOST" best day...missed the other two girls there...but it was fantastic!  

Ashley comes home Saturday and I gotta get the house ready!  I can't TELLLLL ya'll how excited we are to get her back home.  She's so excited too and Courtney is about to FLIP waiting on Ash to get back home. I'm just thinking of ALL the photo ops. I will have next week!  ha

More soon-

Falls Park, Greenville

The other day, Mike, Court, Donna and myself went to Falls Park so Courtney could get somemore Blueberry Frog.  Now, this was during the middle of the Talledega Nascar race, which was FULL of wrecks and stuff.  BUT, my man Jeff Gordon was involved in the first wreck, so he was out of the race...so, who cared after that! Downtown we go!

Mike liked this picture.  

Anyways...notice the look of GLEE on Courtney's face!

Gurl knows her frozen yogurt!

Mike said he ain't touching the stuff.  His body is a fine tuned machine and anything healthy in it may throw it off!  geeeeze.

So then, we head to the park...

Mike loves the camera too!

whatever.

Donna looks good tho..she's lost a TON of weight!

Dad, I took this picture...notice the difference in mine and Mikes...??

MUCH better color and stuff.

Mike speaks...

nobody listens....

HA! 

I took this next picture...notice the reflection in the water???

I know...cool!

Courtney said she could do one better, so she takes THIS picture...SO Courtney-like!!

HAAAAAAAAAA!

Here's Court posing...or maybe her belly hurts?!

and here is Mike telling her to get OUT OF THE WATER....

Then she finds this statue...I've always said she could carry on a conversation with a statue!

Bless her heart....

GEEEEEEZEeeeee......

Of course her cell phone was ALWAYS handy...

and her Daddy making sure it isn't any boys calling her...

I would have put more pics of Donna on here, but she didn't want me too.  Britt was at Peeej's house.

That's it for that!  We went back home and watched the rest of the race...we taped it...only to discover we had missed the BIGGEST wreck of the decade!  WOWWWWWW

Gotta go!  We're headed to Atlanta today to go to the Atlanta Braves Baseball game.  I THINK they're playing St. Louis...not sure...don't care...just as long as they got HOT DOGS!  hee!!

I'll have PLENTY of pics to post on here tomorrow of that!!!

Ashley in Cozumel!

Well, I guess I can say now that Ashley's boat was in Cozumel, but they left back out yesterday to come back home!  WOO-HOOOOOY!!!!!

While there, since she and I have a BLACKBERRY CURVE 8330 in PINK, we were able to Blackberry IM each other...for FREEEEEE!  We can also send pictures too!  SO....I have pictures that she sent to me, to share with ya'll!

So, this is pictures Ashley took wherever she happened to be.  In other words, she didn't go thru ANY extra trouble to get a "good shot" or something...this is pics where she happened to be doing what she does best....

GAWKING AT GUYS!  HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!  I then texted her back and told her to send me another one...of something BEAUTIFUL...(think ocean or something....) this is what she sends back.... Now Amy at my work really liked THAT one!  haaaaaaaaaaaaa  

Actually, so did Courtney...hee 

**NOTE TO ASHLEY...do NOT give Courtney's cell number out to ANY BOYS.** 

Amy said you can give her number out tho!  BAH-HAAAAAA!

Anyways...so she said there was a cruise ship parked right beside their boat!

 Pretty neat!

So...a little while later...she texted me and said she thought she would lay out on the beach while...so she send me this...

Awwww....ain't she pretty!  She looks JUST like me!  haaaaaaaaaaaa

I texted her back and asked her to send me one of where she was laying out at...

it's SO pretty there....

THEN...her and her girlfriends got hungry, so they went to this little "eating establishment" stand at the beach...

I don't know what that's about!  look at the seats!

She ATE ON A SADDLE!  

That's all my pics!  She will hopefully be back in cell phone range by Tuesday or so.  

SHE'S COMING HOME NEXT WEEKEND FOR A WHOLE WEEEEEEEEEEEEK!

That's it for today!  Ya'll have a WONderous day!

Greenville's BIG baseball team, the GREENVILLE DRIVE, had their 7th game of the season last night and Court got to sing the National Anthem!  YEAH!

Finally they intorduce her to the crowd...and she sings

She was pleased too!

So, I look around to see what Silker was doing...
