Softball, BBQ's and the Beach!!

I love weekends that even though busy are SO relaxing, this weekend was one of those.

Friday night the guys had their 6th softball game. Going into Friday night they were 4-1. Their only loss came in the first game they played. Which probably had a lot of us worried that they weren't going to be very good. Ha! Turns out they are pretty darn good. I think really the biggest reasons they lost that game are that they had never played together and they were short guys that night. For example they only had 3 outfielders as opposed to 4 that night, which in softball can make for some hard times out there. Since then though the guys have been solid. Friday's game was against a team who was also really good and they were undefeated going into the game. We changed that though and the guys came out on top with a 16-5 victory. Fun times! The funny thing is that they are the only team in the league that ever has anyone out watching their games. Kinda funny. This week there was like 20 of us. All the wives and some other people from our church. After the game Chris and I went over to Troy and Amy's along with Becca and Travis. We just hung out for a while and Amy made some REALLY YUMMY brownies. Unfortunately Chris couldn't have any cause they had almonds in them but YUM!!

Saturday we pretty much just spent around the house. We had stuff to do here and some work to do in the yard. So that is what we did, Chris decided to head to the store around 5 to get some meat to BBQ. And he came home with some super yummy steak tips, marinated them in a teriyaki marinade and grilled em up. They were super good! After dinner I ended up taking a Benadryl cause my allergies were totally bothering me. So of course it was not long before I was OUT COLD leaving Chris to watch You've Got Mail (it was on TV) by himself. I finally woke up around 11pm and we took the dog out to play in the yard to expend some of her energy. Then we had some ice cream and wine and watched The Pacifier. Which actually turned out to be a pretty cute movie. It was funny.

This morning (Sunday) Chris had to get up super early and was outta here by 6:45 to go take care of a couple of things at a Starbucks not far from us. It was not his on call weekend but Pasha was out with kidney stones so the guys just shared the calls. Not sure what time he was home at but I was up around 9 getting ready. Amazingly we were on time for church this morning. Ha! Usually we are at least 5 or 10 minutes late. After church a bunch of us went out to Salisbury Beach way up North almost in Maine. It was gorgeous out, about 85 degrees, perfect day to spend at the beach. And of course the nice breeze the ocean offers makes it that much better. It was a great day of just hanging out, chatting, reading and relaxing. Once everyone decided to set up the volleyball net Amy and I took our seats on the side to be the cheerleaders. Or something like that, I don't think we actually watched, but it was fun anyways! Ha! I think we were there from like 2pm till 7 this evening. It was a great day. We all headed to the Dairy Queen down the road on the way home. I was so excited to be able to get my Sundae in a little Seattle Mariners hat! :)

So there ya have it, it was a busy yet very relaxing weekend. Now we are home, the dog has been walked. Chris is falling asleep in front of the tv and here I am blogging and enjoying some wine, winding down and getting ready to head to bed. :)

Hope everyone else had a great weekend and I will be sure to visit all of your blogs over my coffee in the morning!!
