Mardi Gras Party

One of Eva's friends had a Mardi Gras birthday party Saturday night. They were to come dressed in costume, formal dress, or Mardi Gras colors. Not sure what Emily is doing - she didn't wear the wig or mask like she was supposed to.

Birthday/Anniversary Weekend

I surprised David with a trip to Birmingham for his birthday to see JJ Grey & Mofro at Avondale Brewing. We stayed at Hassinger Daniels Mansion Bed and Breakfast. It was a really nice historical home in downtown Birmingham. 

 We had angels in our room!

We Ubered everywhere, which was really nice.

We started off with dinner at El Barrio. The food was excellent as were the drinks. All margaritas are made with fresh ingredients, no mixers, and they had a good beer selection.  The only downside was the wait. We got there at 6:30 and there was already an hour and a half wait. It was well worth it, though.

The show was outside at Avondale Brewing, not far from where we stayed. It was a very nice evening, perfect for an outside show.  JJ Grey is one of David's favorite, and we haven't been able to make it to a show.

We had a great night, great weekend. Happy number 13!!

Eva Batting

I've posted some videos of Eva batting. All but the last are from practice. They are using a small batting machine and squishy balls that are heavier than their normal balls. Had they been using normal balls, she'd have hit them way out.  

 

This last one is from a game this past weekend (tournament). She hit it straight to the first baseman, so she was out at first. This was their first tournament (real game) as a team, and they did not win any of their games. They got better with each game, but still lost. This tournament served as a learning tool for both the players and coaches.

Their next tournament is Oct 1 - 2 in Folsom.

Back-to-School Dance

Forgot to publish this one. The back to school dance was a couple of weeks ago. I did not take many pictures, so this is all I got. Eva looked great in that dress, I wish I had a full length picture of her.

Birthday Party

Eva's best friend has a birthday on Aug 26. They decided to have a joint birthday party in between their birthdays - a skate party with a Minecraft cake. 

 Birthday Girls

 They helped Susan (Bailey's grandmother) make the cake. She does awesome cakes.

Eva got over $50 in Books-a-million gift cards as well as Target gift cards and cash. We spent the day after the party shopping. 

 Lot's of Harry Potter stuff was purchased.

Silly girl.

There are more pictures, I just have to find them add them later.
