Disney Tournament.....

John was excited to be playing this weekend in a Baseball Tournament at Disney. We all got up at 5.45am this morning and headed off for the Wide World of Sports. We found our team and entered the Disney complex. Boys warmed up and everything looked great. The game started we were on fire. John looked good at bat and the games began......... Next picture

2nd at Bat.......

This is John after batting, he struck at the ball and pulled the muscle at the top of his leg. He fell to the ground like a sack of spuds.....LOL Consequently I felt really sick and fainted I know nothing new there hey........ We got some crutches for him so that he can rest it for a few days. The Flag Football school team has a game on Tuesday I am not so sure he is going to be able to make it, but we will see.......!!! So after all the preparation and the early morning start, John played the whole of 20mins.....

My Great Niece...

Here she is finally, my new Great Niece Quinn Elaine, lovely name Hayley. She came into this world at 5.50am on 22nd November, she weighed in at 8lb 10oz, WOW......... I cant wait to see her, I am waiting to see some more photos of her that I am hoping my brother is going to send to me. So now I have 3 nieces, 5 nephews and 2 great nieces. Well done Hayley, I know your mum would be very proud of you and is smiling down on you and Quinn. Good Luck, we love ya.....

Happy Birthday John

Happy Birthday John 14 today, its my little boys birthday, little boy ha, John is much bigger than me now and he is so grown up, he had a good day in school and spent the afternoon playing with his new itouch that he got for his birthday, it took us a while to sync it from the ipod so that he could put all his music and photographs on the itouch, it really is amazing what apple have done with these systems. I am now a mac computer user and I am trying to convert the family to them, its a challenge but I will get there in the end.

Our Special visitor....

Auntie Jane came over to stay for a week, we went to our best Chinese in Orlando tonight and had lots of good food. John is eating seafood soup........I took some photos of the kids and realized how big they have grown John is 14 on Wednesday how time fly's, I haven't taken any photographs for ages and noticed the change in them in just a matter of weeks. I am awaiting the news of my niece Hayley her baby was due last week, hurry Hayley cant wait to meet my new great niece.........!!!!

Brothers Grimm......

So Johns play was this week, he played the Director in the play Brothers Grimm. I was not too sure how he would perform after earlier events, but it was really good. He played the part really well and had fun. Afterwards we went to watch Sam's baseball game and Sam played really well, he hit the ball each time he got up to bat, which makes me happy as he has started to say he is not gonna play spring baseball.

The Bad News.....

So, here is the long awaited post, as you can tell from me not posting earlier the boys soccer team lost. I know, how did that happen......!!! Its a really long story and wont really go into it, but we didn't play as well as we should, and have played way better in the past, Friday we just didn't perform, we didn't take one strike at goal. John has been on fire all season and wouldn't you know they scored the winning goal with 6 minutes to go. He was inconsolable, (is that how you spell that....) on the flip side he made a 4 fantastic saves, so the score could of been 4-0 rather than just 1-0. Anyway, I don't want to talk about it every again........Lets move on to my next post!!!! LOL

Championship Game Here We Come.......

The Celebration Soccer Team won the Semi Final today 2-0 so now its on to the Championship game which will be played at home on Friday at 4.15 pm. Our defense played a good game and John had to do very little although he did make a great save by tipping the ball over the bar. I am not allowed to take my camera now to the game as I haven't for the last few weeks so the "Birchall's Superstitious minds" are not letting me take it. We had our friends here from Liverpool Alan and Karen so they came to cheer on the team. Sam is already planning the school team next year, and how good they are going to be. I will post as soon as the game is played on Friday. John tried out for the school flag football and made the team and their practice starts on Monday.

Halloween at Celebration

Celebration is always great fun at Halloween, everyone really makes a huge effort to make it the best one ever. We played baseball at 4pm and were home and back in Celebration by 7. The kids got on their outfits and out we went, Sam was a Banana and John was a scouser. I told John that no one here knows what a scouser is, but he looked funny and played the part well in his track suit, I thought he looked more like Terry Sullivan off Brookie. Sam took out a pillowcase and it ended up full of sweets way to many to allow him to eat. We met some of the boys friends and took some pictures, Rayan dressed up as a girl and he looked gorgeous......... We ended the night at the Ashe familys halloween party. We had a great time and walk home at 1am, at least it was a warm night. This week is a busy week, the School Soccer team has the play off game tomorrow and the girls team play on Thursday. John and I are coaching a soccer team as the head coach is away and has asked us to step in, that should be fun........
