So Sorry to Disappoint... :)

We had a LOVELY drama-free softball weekend in Vail! It was fabulous! So for those of you awaiting the next installment of Softball Tournaments Gone Wrong, sorry! But man, we were thrilled to have such a wonderful weekend!

Friday afternoon we had our 16 week doctor appointment and all seems well. It was our first appointment with my OB Doc, Dr. Jodi Gibson, instead of our RN, Joan. So it was nice for Ryan to meet her, and it always gives me a warm fuzzy to have the doc come in and say "everything looks good!"... I've gained a bit more than I'd/they'd like in the last month or so, but she said not to worry, that every woman is different, so to just keep up with the healthy eating and exercise and I'll be fine. We heard the heartbeat again, which is wicked cool. It sounded a bit like galloping horses this time (in the 160 bpm range)... the doc said it sounded like a girl... HA! Sorry Ryno! ;)

Then Friday night we had our last Friday night co-ed softball league game up in Westminster for the summer league, and we won! No, not just the game, but the whole league for the season! We scored some sweet long-sleeved t-shirts that say "Champions"... I'm a Champion. HAHAHA!

Saturday morning we got up early and headed to Vail for the team's first game at 11:00. The Outlaws then proceeded to win 4 games in a row! 11:00, 12:00, 2:00 and 3:00!!! I kept official score for all the games, which I'm now obsessed with... loves it. Thanks for teaching me that, Dad! And then Ryan and I packed it up and went and found our hotel right in West Vail (the Holiday Inn Apex Vail) and got changed and cleaned up and then made our way into the Village of Vail and walked around and found some supper at a Pizza place (the only thing we really can afford in Vail! HAHAHA!). Then we went back to the hotel room to hang out and relax and eventually met back up with a few teammates at a sports' bar to watch the Rockies' game! Oh, and we went to Sports Authority and I scored a very cute sun-hat to sport at all the games and avoid hair-part-sun-burn. ;)

Sunday I got us some Egg McMuffins at McDonald's for breakfast and then we got to the fields with plenty of time for their next game, at 10:30am. Again I kept official score, and the team won! On to the CHAMPIONSHIP GAME they went! Yee-haw! The championship game was at 12:30 and unfortunately even though we were up 9-3 in the 5th inning, in the 7th inning the wheels came off our team, I think we were just tired, and the other team scored 10 runs making it 13-9 and we just couldn't make up the difference so we ended up taking 2nd in the tournament. Not too shabby if you ask me! But the team was a little disappointed. But all in all a great weekend!

It took us 3 hours to get home due to mountain traffic and then after a couple hours resting at home, we played our co-ed Sunday league game at 9pm and won by a landslide... I think we 15-runned them in the 4th inning. Doh! Fun times!

So a much less dramatic weekend, but way more fun and a lot less stress!

Here's a picture of the 2nd place Outlaws:
