2014 WWBA National Championship

Early Sunday morning, me, Connie, and Ricky, made our way to Hillgrove High School for Day 3 of Team Elite's Prime appearance in the WWBA tourney. 

In all of Shane's coaching years, Connie and Ricky have never been to one his tournaments... it was time for them to get out of the house and see his mad coaching skills for themselves.

We got to the field about 45 minutes early to see the players warm up and it even gave Connie and Ricky a chance to meet more of the parents. They had already met a few of them at the funeral home last week.. soooo awesome of them to come and also bring a group of players. Shane was so touched by their support. He has such an AWESOME group of kids and parents. 

Sooo serious.. I wish I could whistle because I would totally shout out to my boo when he makes his way back to the dugout from 3rd. Just one time to see his reaction. I can't help but to chuckle right now at what he would do!

We got a W-I-N!!!

And guess what? The coach for the opposing team was a guy Shane played with when he played for the Portland Beavers in AAA ball... Jimmy Osteen. Coach said they were able to catch up a tad bit before the game but it was all business afterwards. This isn't the first time he has ran into someone from his playing days...

I wish I could hear what Coach says to his players after a game.. he sure is proud of them!

 I was super blessed to be able to stay with my boo for the night.. we had lupper afterwards with his parents and then we headed back to the hotel for some AC. This Georgia heat/humidity is a killer.

Prime had another game Monday at 11:30am but we lost.. We were up and down in that game. I could not sit still and my nerves were shot! And I don't even have a child playing!! 

I can't express enough how awesome this group of parents are.. I have always tried to be careful sitting in the stands in case someone doesn't agree with what my husband is doing on the field, but these parents just welcome me with open arms and are just THE sweetest!

Coach is putting together a team for the PG World Series and this chick gets to go! WHOOO HOOOO!!! I. Cannot. Wait. Can't wait to see the parents too. I am going to miss them when their kids move up!

Games continue Tuesday at 11:30! 

I will be rooting y'all on Coach!!

Heaven Gained an Angel Last Night

What a blessing it has been to have known Grandma for the past few years.

Such a sweet lady and funny at times, especially when Shane would ask her was she going out galavanting.. her response- "Ah foot." 

I would get so tickled at their conversations.

She loved her kitten too. 

She called her Kitty Pooh.

She always wanted to know where she was and to make sure we hadn't left the door open so she couldn't get out. Kitty Pooh would even ride on her walker when Grandma was making her way through the house.

One of the funniest things I have ever seen her do was at Easter this past year. Shane and his Dad, Ricky, had lifted her in her chair to get her from the porch to the ground... Ricky said something to make her laugh and she picked her foot up and acted like she was going to kick him. She was even laughing when she did it. You should have seen her. We all chuckled.

  Our Lord and Savior has a plan tho, a plan for ALL of us, and His plan for Grandma was to join Him tonight around 8:22pm.

She is no longer in pain and at peace now.

We sure do love you Grandma and we know you are walking with Jesus right now.

We will see you again one fine day.

Who We're Loving Wednesday

Meet Mrs. Frances, Shane's grandmother who is better-known as Grandma. 

One sweet lady let me tell you who's favorite saying is "Ah foot". 

She has been in the hospital since Saturday with a broken hip and finger due to a fall. Surgery needed to be done, but due to a couple of complications and her blood needing to thicken up they had to wait a couple days. Well yesterday morning, everything looked good so she was headed into surgery. When they got Grandma back, her BP spiked and her heart rate increased so the doctors called off surgery and took her back to her room to get everything under control.

Around 1:30 they took her back for a second attempt, everything was great, she had the surgery and was able to be in her room instead of ICU. This is AWESOME but the next 24 hours are still critical. 

Prayer warriors, if you wouldn't mind adding Grandma to your prayer list I would greatly appreciate it.

I believe in the power of prayer and appreciate every single one going up for her and the family.

Thank you bunches friends.

We love you Grandma and can't wait for you to be home!
