In case anyone missed it on my facebook page.. yes ... today April 21st is our wedding anniversary. 16 years and counting <3

Baseball :The beginning !

This weekend was the start of madness! It began Thursday night with a game both that night and Friday night . Saturday produced 2 more games and Sunday we had 3 back to back games. I'm thinking we would have placed higher if our games hadn't been back to back however , we still captured 4th place out of 15 teams in our division ! Not to shabby with only a few practices under our belts!

words to remember

Insecurities are what make us,

Doubt is what breaks us.

Our flaws are our perfection,

And perfection is a flaw.

Because beauty is in the eye of the beholder,

No two people can judge the same way.

One man's treasure is another man's gold.

But what really matters is what you think.

Be what you want to be.

You don't need to be a celebrity to be an actor,

And you don't need to publish a novel to be a writer.

Do you want and live life to its fullest.

Life is just too short to spend wishing.

Dream. And if you are dreaming, you might as well dream big. But don't just dream.

Get out there and chase your dream.

If you never try, you will never make it,

Because a person misses every shot they do not take.

And remember that if you shoot for the moon,

You can miss and still end up among the stars.

Don't let doubt stand in the way of what you want.

Everyone has flaws.

The achievers embrace them,

But the fearful hide from them.

You're not a failure until you call it quits.

Everyone has the power to change the world if they put their mistakes behind them.

It only takes one person to push the human race forward.

But it takes a determined person.

One that is crazy and brave enough to think that they can and will make a difference.

Because those who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones that do.

Don't ever forget that you are one in nearly seven billion.

No one can replace you and no one can change the world in the way that you can.

Go and do what you have to do because only you have the power to speak the words on your lips.

The past and present are who you were,

But the future is who you are now and who you will be.

Your time will come if you let it,

And if you can conquer doubt,

All you need to do is spread your wings and it will be easy to fly.

Andys Mind ...

Andy who is 11 , was bored in reading class so he came up with this all on his own... kinda creative I thought!

what we've been doing

Its officially the start of baseball season, which equals crazy season :o) but we had such an amazing Easter weekend I wanted to share some of what we've been doing. If your not already a fan on facebook- you should stop by and become a fan of our jeeping club " AU Offroad " if your wondering what that stands for .. so am I . Could it be "Adkins Unlimited", or "hey you" with a southern drawl? lol just kidding but stop by the fan page to learn more. This year AU is sponsering a youth baseball team here in Warsaw.. all kinds of exciting things happening!Here are some pics of our Easter outing

The great mohawk debate

ahhh life in a small town is great... until you go against the grain. Recently Alex decided he would like a mohawk. I heem-hawed around it... not sure. I find it annoying that I actually care what other moms would think of me if I let him do it. Don't you know it? I let him do it and boy-howdy have I hit a nerve with some people. I think it's pretty clear how some parents feel about me. I am also happy to report that I don't care. Alex has always marched to the beat of a different drummer. He likes to experiment. Sometimes I draw the line, sometimes I think there is no harm in trying. Bottom line.. its my decision ... not anyone else. Respect...people.
I personally think he wears it well. I'm not sure I'm thrilled with it, but I sure can think of worse things to want.
