Kaylin's B'day Sad and Exciting

Well our daughter is 17 now and boy is that hard to cope with. She is all grown up and 17, I just can't believe it. We spent her birthday which was Saturday, at softball games. I think every year since she was around 10 she has had to play softball on her birthday. It is usually a tournament or a really important team. Like Ramstein High School which in this case is Kaiserslautern's rival school. The kiddo did very well! She treated herself to an over the fence homerun, double (which hit the fence and was only a double because the person running infront of her was a bit slow), and a single just in the first game. She ended up driving in four out of 11 runs that game. NOT BAD! Chad says that the fence at this field is about 250 feet (it's a men's league field.) WOW, what power she has at age 17. Better not let her know that she might think she could beat her ol' momma up or something silly like that. LOL All and all she had an awesome weekend at bat and defense. Hey she even got something really cool for her birthday from us a new camera. I don't think she has stopped snappin' that thing since she got it. Of course I did not get Kaylin's homerun on video. The reason being that every time I set my camera up to tape her she gets walked or something unexciting. It happened to be drizzling on Saturday so I didn't want my camera getting wet. What happens she has a slammer of a hit. Go figure! I guess I have boasted about our daughter enough for one blog. Happy Birthday, baby girl and we are very, very proud of you.
