MK Softball...

Well on Saturday, October 26th, Mario and I played in the Mary Kay Softball Tournament in Irving. We didn't make the championships, but we had a blast!

The guys on our team were great and fun.. of course they all knew one another from Manufacturing and then we had Manny and myself from Corporate...Mario played great...he was placed in Left field with Julio since they were faster in running and Ashley and myself were placed over by Right field...and Karen as catcher..we only had 3 girls on the team and 10 guys.. our first game we won and we also had 3 players get injured (pulled hamstrings)...but we still won!!

We had a drawing for prizes and Mario won a digital camera (which I told him to take care of it) and I won GUCCI sunglasses. I have to get Mario a memory card for his camera, he loves it.. and it's green!!

PACESETTER...

Tonight is NMHS's game in Tyler, TX... and Nathalie has made the PACESETTER KICKLINE!!

Every Monday, the Pacesetters have to try-out for the week's game kickline...this is Nathalie's 1st time to be on the Kickline and I wouldn't miss it for the world!!

It'll be a long lonely drive..hopefully Mauricio will go, but I doubt it...

I'm so very proud of her.. she was excited when she told me that she made it.

Mario.....

Well it's been almost a year since Mario broke his femur. He's been doing very well, obeying the Dr's orders and when he had physical therapy, he would work his leg out as instructed when at home. He's come a long way since the injury.

Today was his Dr. appt and the Dr. asked him how his leg has been, if it's been bothering him or not, then he asked Mario if he wanted to remove the rod or keep it in? Mario said that he wanted to keep it in, since it wasn't bothering him. The Dr. said that was fine, if he(Mario) ever decides that it is bothering him or he wants to have it removed to just give him (dr.) a call.

When we were leaving, Mario said that he wasn't sure if he wanted to play in next week's game, because it would have been exactly ONE YEAR from his injury. I told him to don't look at it that way... I told him, he needs to play in the game and look at it as a celebration that he is able to play again and walk again...that the injury didn't hold him back or hold him down.. he has overcomed that injury and needs to look what lies ahead.

I hope that he will understand by game day next week and take my words to heart.

MK Volleyball Tournament...

Well today was our MK Volleyball Tournament, Mario was playing with me on my team.

We had 5 on our team and we came in 3rd... it was good fun and it was our first year to play... went home got some Sonic and then slept for a few hours before getting dressed for the Dallas Stars vs St. Louis Blues game...



Mario didn't want to go so Nathalie went with me.. we had a good time.. I got her a jersey of the Mavs...Stars lost... 5-0... but Nathalie enjoyed the fights that broke out... there were 4 of them.. she would say , i'd wish they fight again.. and within a few minutes, there they'd go at it...

NMHS...

Last night we went to the home game for North Mesquite High, they were playing against Irving's MacArthur High. In the 3rd quarter, one of the team members from Irving got injured and an ambulance had to be called. All that brought back the memory of Mario getting injured. I know what that player's mother was going through, not knowing what was happening, what's going to happen...can't help her son in any way but just to stay calm next to him. Putting up a front when in reality you just want to cry because your son is in pain and there's nothing you can do about it. Next week is Mario's 1st game and I am so worried about him. He tells me that his leg doesn't bother him and that they have been practicing how to tackle, but while his coaches train one way, the other school's coaches can train their players differently.


NMHS lost the game, it was a good close game...now they are 3-1

Labor Day weekend....

Well Labor Day weekend came and went...

Friday, I left work early and headed home to get some sleep...since the dogs were at the vet's. Slept for a few...then waited for Mario to get home so that he could go with me to pick up the dogs by 6pm...then dropped the dogs and Mario home and headed to Nathalie's game in Garland...

Saturday was just a blahhh day.. nothing special , besides Cristobal's 1st b-day...

Sunday was cool, we headed to Daniela's for a cookout and had food and fun....

Monday was a blast!!! We headed to Joe Pool Lake with Daniela and her family and her brother's family (Albert)... Albert took his boat and Nathalie, Mario, Mauricio and Albert's kids were all having fun on the tube... I got in the boat and had JuJu asleep, but she had her chance on the tube too with Michael...everyone had a blast...Can't wait til we do it again!!

Nathalie had a wipeout on the tube that she scrapped her face in the water and Mario had a wipeout and Mauricio had a wipeout ...Michael had several wipeouts...

but they all had fun!!
