This weekend we had our annual Hester-Sykes tournament. Basically, it is a softball tournament that our police association hosts as a way for officers to get together, play some ball, and just have a good time. It usually ends with funds that were raised being donated to local charities.
Last year, we had a group of female officers that wanted to play in the tournament but rarely got any playing time in the field since the guys take winning so seriously. They came together and we formed the first-ever all-women's police softball team.
This year is our second year playing. We don't expect to win anything, but we have a good time. And after last year, we have lots of people who come to the park just to watch us play and hang out with us between the games!
Here are a few pics from the weekend:
Friday night: getting everything set up.
The BallBuster tent. Funnest place to hang in the whole ball park!
The ladies in pink...warming up!
First group photo: we were missing a few of the girls.
The guys didn't take us too seriously.
Until we started striking them out...
...by distracting them with our "secret" weapon. The dance pole! (I told ya we had a good time!)
Then they decided to take us a little more seriously. (Well, as serious as you can be when you're swinging a pink t-ball bat...another one of our winning techniques: switch all their bats!)
Me at bat:
And running to first after bustin' the ball! We are the Ballbusters!
A final group shot.

Back of my jersey:
Which apparently excited Dylan so much that he burst out into "Santa Clause is coming to town".
We love finding steals on Craigslist like this awesome couch (with matching love seat) that we just bought tonight!
And we love getting home to find out that the curtains (that we bought on Craigslist last year) match the "new" furniture even better than the furniture we had when we bought them to begin with. Score!!
We love each other. 
And we love "wedgies". Because according to Lydia "wedgie"=wii! 
Oh, and wii loved your "wedgie" guesses!
Believe it, dear bloggy friends! And he's only in second grade might I remind you! :/
Yes, sir! Have you ever played Guess Who? It's a neat little game where you try to guess who the other person has by process of elimination and you eliminate choices by asking yes or no questions. Questions like, "Does your person have hair?" or "Is your person wearing glasses?" Or maybe even "Is your person wearing a red shirt?" But those questions are way to easy and for a champ like our Bubba, they really leave no challenge to the game. He prefers the questions like, "Does your person have a head?" and "Does your person have TWO eyes?" Really, I don't know how he does it! ;)
Where my children, all decked out in their Halloween costumes, refused to pose for a picture.
So, I took the best group picture I could get, which was, unfortunately, without my little Elmo.
I was however able to get a great individual pics of Anikan Skywalker.
And Tinker Bell.
And Bumblebee, turned Iron Man.
But not even one good picture of my little Elmo.
We stayed long enough to have dinner
And a soda.
Before we headed home to get out of the cold. And check out what was in our pumpkins.
Which is where I was able to get my first good group photo of the night. Unfortunately, there were no costumes left at this point.
And I even got a good picture of Elmo. Or, well, Elysa anyway.
But after a second thought
I think I'd prefer the ham. Yummy! :)
This Halloween, the Godsey crew will be spreading the love...
With pixie dust and...um...arm-sized...rocket...grenades?
