Softball Games

Patrick started a great season with a 4-0 start this year. His team is the Austin Force and have a good chance of going to the World Series in Seattle this year. Will keep you posted. Some pictures of the games today.

Patrick plays catcher for the team.

Leash Training

Klaus now has his first collar and today we got him a leash. He didn't do too bad (ha!)
It is going to take some time with this one. Schultze however behaves well.

Klaus is now 10.5 pounds. That is a weight gain of over 4 pounds in 4 weeks. His doctor was very surprised it was the same puppy!

March 17th

Patrick just got back from Oklahoma and his softball tournament. He had a good time and played hard, but is glad to be home. Patricks team did very well. It will be great to start going to the Sunday games in a couple weeks.

Back in January, I started a variety of seeds for the vegetable garden and flower beds. Some easy, some a little more difficult to germinate. So this weekend I started planting them in pots as they had outgrown the starter pods.

After finishing up, Klaus aparently decided that he would join in......biting all of the tops off the tomato plants, cucumbers, basils, parsley, white cannas, green asters, and many many more!

I went to let Klaus and Schultze in from the backyard and there was Klaus, the all white puppy with a black soiled face staring up at me! Guess I will need to start over.

But I also worked in the front yard and here are some pictures of what has been done so far.

Is Spring here?

Sorry we haven't posted in awhile. I had inventory and after holiday sales in January to get through.

Patrick is playing softball again...he's happy! I have not been able to make any games so far, but I am looking forward to Sunday morning games when they begin.

Our hands have also been a little full with the newest member of our family.....Klaus.

He is 13 weeks old, pure white miniature schnauzer and a handful. Schultze is a great big brother although a little hestitant the first couple days. I gave him to Patrick for Valentines Day.

Also a lot of our time has been spent in the yard again. We've planted a lilac, white rose, lilies, and a lot more. It will be nice to see everything in bloom.

Patrick will be off to play in a tournament in Oklahoma next weekend, I will stay with the boys this trip. They would be too much for a babysitter!

Our Holiday Party

Patrick and I had a Christmas dessert party for our co-workers on the 9th. Everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves, and of course I baked WAY too many goodies. Four days of baking and round two never made it to the table.......I will know next time to cut way back.

Happy Holidays to all of our family and friends!

This week will be rather hectic getting ready for Thursday........the day after being BLACK FRIDAY at work! Yikes! Patrick will be off on Friday, lucky bum!

Patricks sister is here from Vegas this week. His family is coming for dinner Thursday and two of our good friends from Dallas are coming in as well. I have a lot to prep, but Patrick's mom is coming Wednesday to help me get ready.
