My Long, Long Day:)

Well, yesterday I went to work with my Dad... that was very fun:) Then I got to see him give a speech, which he did very well on. After that, my Mom and brothers came downtown to see us and we rode the lightrail:) It was really cool... afterward at last minute we decided to go to a D-Backs game (which Is like on my top 10 favorite things in this entire world) and we saw my 2 most favorite baseball players in the entire universe- Mark Reynolds and Stephen Drew:) It was too darn awesome, even though they lost:{ After that we were starting to drive home and decided to stop at a gas station somewhere in Pheniox... so when my Dad came back, a homeless guy followed him and stood right outside our window pointing at us... I felt bad for the guy because he clearly needed help. I also thought I was going to have a heart attack at the same time though. That was my day for ya:)

Well, it's kind of sad.... nobody blogs anymore:(

Well, not much has been happening lately, but these are the highlights of the week...

1. On my game on Thursday, I hit a triple and a grand slam (home run)! My mom said If I hit a home run, then she would by me a new bat (but at the time she was kidding). The next day, I went into my room, and there it was! This is the one I got:



2. On Friday, I went to the movies with Sadie and Tatiana, we saw.... Confessions of a Shopaholic.

3. About 2 weeks ago, me and Sadie went to see knowing, It was by far the scariest movie I have ever seen!

Well, I haven't posted for like 2 months and I think it is about time to update... so, here is pretty much anything exciting that has happened to me in the past 2 months or so:)

1. For our last softball party of the year, the team decided to go to Peter Piper Pizza. This Is always fun except I was sad to see the end of the season:)

2. After the party, my Dad surprised my Mom with a couple of Suns tickets, which we generously got from some ward friends, for my Moms birthday! It was a good game and I got to take Allison and Mellisa with us... I'll post pictures later:)

>>>inside joke: Remember the taffy that got stuck to the man's head?! Haha!

3. About 2 and 1/2 months ago, me and Sadie went to the mall. It was soooo much fun and were going to definetly have to go again sometime! Me and Sadie both bought some cute shirts:)

4. A couple Saturdays ago I got my first babysitting job in about 2-3 months! Finally! Whenever I do get asked to babysit, I either have practice or a game.

5. A month ago was the winter sports awards ceremonies, I love award ceremonies! It was so much fun and I got the "Coaches Honor Award", which is always a good thing! Also, our team was selected out of the whole district to get the "Victory with Honor Award". This was given to the team with the most, as they put it: team spirit, skill(even though we only won 2 games), and fans. So that means we get one of those banner things in the gym and we each get a tee-shirt!

6. Was the SuperBowl awesome or what? That was a pretty awesome game even though it was sad to see the Cardinals go home.

7. So a month ago I was sitting in English and my teacher says, "Ashlyn, come here please..." And of course anyone who knows __________ (I won't say names- that's not bonus), knows that I was I was scared to death at whatever she was about to say. But as soon as I got up there, she informs me, "Ashlyn, I need you to fill out this form because I want to enter your essay into the District Writing Contest." Oh my heck, the women almost gave me a freakin' heart attack...

8. On Valentine's Day, I went to my brother's baseball tryouts. Which I always, enjoy, except that every possible person at our school was there:<

9. O.k, so I had my first two club softball tournaments on two Saturdays, our first one was fun as well as our second one. We never one, but we were close on the second tournament.

10. After my tournament, we met up with my cousins from Utah. We don't get to see them much, but when we do, it is really fun:) My cousin Jordan had a baseball tournament for his club team down here in Arizona and we got to watch him play!

11.. On Feb. 6th, it was my Mom's b-day and on Feb. 18th, it was my Brother's b-day! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

12. Me and Sadie went to see The Magic Flute, which totally rocked! Props to Victoria and Kellie for doing such an awesome job!

So now I don't feel so guilty for not posting for 2 months! That was pretty much what has been happening with me:)

O.K, so tonight I found out that I made Shockwave Softball! This is a year round club softball team and a bunch of my friends play on it too. I had go to tryouts on Saturday, which I may say were brutal. But I am just glad it all payed off:)

Cardinals are Going to the SUPERBOWL!!!

Our Game!

So on Thursday we had our fifth game (I think) and we actually won this one! Amazing right! So now that my team is apparently inspired, I think now we will win more games:) I hope. Well, that's all I had to say.... Here
are some pictures from our last game. I couldn't upload the pictures from the game we actually won because my computer is being dumb:( (I'll upload them later!)

Christmas...

I hope you all had a good Christmas! Christmas was really cool this year! For Christmas I got a couple of shirts, a Chi (hair straightner), an Ipod stereo, some scrapbooking supplies, and some other things!I didn't really go any where except for Flagstaff for 2 days and went sledding! My Aunt, Uncle, and Cousin from Alaska came to our house for a few hours. Me, my Mom, my Aunt, and Cousin went to the mall, which is always fun! Then, I wen't to my friend Meghan's birthday party! We had a water balloon fight as well and a silly string fight which lasted a grand total of 30 seconds. Finally, I wen't to Sadie's house for a New Year's party. It was really fun and we played kick the can and a lot of other games!

O.K. So I thought Sarah's "Things you should know about me" thing was way cute, so I just have to copy it. Sorry Sarah!

Merry Christmas Eve!

Merry Christmas Eve! Today is going to be so much fun! My mom said that all we are going to do today is bake, scrapbook, and make "Christmas projects"! Today is going to be so awesome!

O.K, so is this like the cutest headband ever or what!? They are selling them at asasoftball.com for $10, but me and my Mom have decided to just make our own, they are going to be sooo hackin' adorable!!!

Our First Game!!!

So, anyways, yesterday was our first game {away}. It was a good game and I played starter catcher, except we lost. What more can I say, we lost 14-2. My coach says that was our warm-up game and that we are totally taking down those_____ (I can't post any schools names on my blog because I don't exactly want any freak stocker to track me down!) So I hope all of you had a good Thursday, and I hope you have fun (Sadie) at your first game on Tuesday!

The Best Week Ever!

OMG! It has been the best 3 days ever! First, on Friday, as I already said in one of my recent posts, I made the softball team. Also, Congratulations Keila on making cheer! Then on Saturday, It was homecoming at ASU. I was sorta planning on going like all season, but I had to babysit instead. But that's OK because I made $35 dollars and my parents brought me home some pretty awesome shirts and some other things! Then, on Sunday {today}, right when I was waking up, my Mom put a little present outside my door. When I opened it, there was an Ipod! I was so excited! So, I better get to charging it! Thanks Mom and Dad!

I am so close to getting my Ipod! I have a babysitting job tonight so on Monday I will probably buy it! I am so excited!

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!! I MADE THE SOFTBALL TEAM!!!! I AM SOOOO EXCITED!!!

*Also, I hope Sadie, one of the awesomest people ever, makes the dance team! She is soooo talented, and I for sure know she is going to make it! Good luck Sadie (not like you need it because you are soooo awesome!)*

Happy (late) Halloween! HOBO.....HOBO.....HOBO!!!!!
