Devyn: Softball

I just started playing softball. We've only had 3 games. 2 wins 1 loss. Friday was our best game. We were against Maraeka's team. The score was 9-1. We won. The first time I went to hit I got 4 balls, so I got to go to walk to first base. Then when the next batter was up I stole second base. I was at second for a while but then when I could steal I booked it to to third. She missed the ball, so I ran home and the catcher didn't get the ball in time so I got a home run. My team mates were cheering for me. It felt good. The second time that I got to hit I hit the ball, hard! But it was a foul. Saturday's game the score was 6-3. We won again. Wednesday's game the score was 5-4 we won again! I'm on the Patti Gagne team our team color is bright yellow. I'm number 17.



This is my team in our dugout

This is me up to bat

That's me at first base

No-Bake Baking with a 4 year old

So it seems as though Landon thinks he is all-knowing with the microwave these days.

We have busted him a few times. He will punch in a few numbers, push start and it's a go!

To my own surprise, he actually knows what he is doing. I figured that if he is going to start helping himself to the appliances, I might as well teach him about metal in the micro.  Nothing like a traumatizing experience to keep a future little chef out of the kitchen. Now that would be tragic.

Landon's project? Melting chocolate. In all honesty, we were actually working on a dessert when I busted him doing his microwave thang.  He had just jumped ahead of me while I was off doing other things. 

 No Bake Chocolate Pumpkin Mousse
My go-to, whole wheat crust. If I were super ambitious I would make my own crust...but I'm not. :)
 Ingredients
  • 1 can of pumpkin 
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cup chocolate chips
  • 2-3 TBS honey
Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 20 second intervals, stopping to stir in between. Next pile all ingredients  into a food processor. Process until it is velvety smooth. Pour into a pie crust. Chill in the fridge for a few hours. 

Ready for the fridge. The longer it chills the better, as it will firm up nicely.

We do frozen cool whip. It kind of tastes like ice cream.

Perfect combo.

Kyle loved this pie. It's always good if you can pass the man test.

IF I HAD A PUG BY CORBIN

For the past mounth i've been bugging my mom and my dad for a Pug.  A Pug is a type of dog.  The reason I want a Pug cause I really like squishy and chubby dogs and Pugs have squishy and chubby faces.  I said to my mom and my dad I would train it I would play with it I would feed it I would sweep and vacum all the Pugs sheadings I would give the Pugs bathes I would give the Pug walks I would want the Pug to be a boy I would name the Pug Zack I would clean up the Pugs poop and pee and most in porten of all I would give the Pug love.  My mom and my dad said I need to show the responsibility that a Pug neddes and then they would talk about it .  Did you know that my family is moving to South Carolina?  I'm so exited to move to South Carolina because I might get a Pug.

South Carolina Vaca

The past three days have been great. I love this place. On Tuesday March 27th we took a plane to Newark. That was our layover. Then we took another plane to south Carolina. It is really warm here, they have palm trees and stuff, it kind of has a Mexico feeling to it! So that was day1. On our second day here we went to Folly Beach that is walking distance from our place, we found a dead bird. The beach is nice soft sand, lots of shells, warm(ish) water, and a super long and cool pier. When we went walking on it someone caught a dog fish. It looks like a mini, baby shark. Then we all took showers in this cool little out door shower. For dinner we walked into town and ate at this restaurant called Planet Follywood. It was OK I guess, I've had better. Then we went to a cute little candy store. After we got home we played Pass The Ace. Our pot in the middle was three dollars. Mom won. Of course. Now for day2, which is today. We went to Isle Of Palms about a half hour away. We ate lunch there at this out door restaurant called Coconut Joe's. After on the beach we collected shells and there were a ton of dead jelly fish that had washed up on shore. Next we went to Yobe Frozen Yogurt. It is so cool there.

This is the topping bar they have 2 of these at Yobe Frozen Yogurt.

The 2 little boxes on top are the flavors of frozen yogurt. There are 3 nozzles, 1 is 1 flavor the other is another flavor and the middle combines the 2 flavors which is pretty cool.




Yobe has a cool out door seating area.


This is the lighting in the Yobe place. Cool right!



This is where we ate lunch





Note: The date on my camera needs to be updated just saying.



 I wonder to where ever the wind will take our vacation?
