**BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!**

Taylor Brigham Designs is now being SOLD AT: LEISA LOVELY DESIGNS!

I am so excited, and so thankful for this amazing opportunity with Leisa~ Jake's aunt good friend, Meg actually had emailed me, and said she thought she had a good connection for me with my boards! I wasn't sure, and then she sent me the store pictures, and more about her! I was so excited to email her to see if she would even be interested in my boards, and what deal we could figure out! She LOVED my boards!!

Such a cute store!

My mom went over there to meet with her to show her my boards (the most amazing mom in the world to be my salesperson when I'm not in FL!!) Thank you mom! I had sent my mom about 50+ boards, and she has been selling them in Orlando, & holding on to them for me. I told her just go ahead, and bring them all thinking Leisa would take maybe 10-15. She took ALL 41 boards!!!!!!!!! I am so excited to see what happens with them, and she believes they will do very well!

She has such an adorable store! She started this business 5 years ago out of her home, and started to monogram items. She now has gotten so big she decided to open a store! She sells various items for weddings, children, showers, birthdays, and the list goes on! My mom had a very very hard time walking out with only one thing!

some new designs for her store! 
I never tell people right off the bat that i'm married to a baseball player (unless i'm sitting at the ballpark alone, people ALWAYS ask "who are you with") It always turns into this huge discussion, and questions. Sometimes it JUST doesn't matter about Jake (sorry babe!) !! Plus, I want to be known as Taylor Brigham, and when it comes to my work (fashion,my boards, etc) I don't want someone to do me a favor/something for me for the wrong reasons. I had mentioned I live in Orlando for 5 months out of the year, and I know that confused her so she asked her friend, Meg who she explained about Jake. Come to find out, Leisa went to College in Hickory, NC (Where Jake has played for two years, and Hickory is a VERY VERY small town.) PLUS.. she worked at the stadium for work!! Her husband knows one of my parents lifelong friends family and so on! It always amazes me how small this world really is!?

Roughriders and San Antonio

As the roughriders go and play San Antonio. They had an incident happen! This has never happened (at least not this bad!) The fans who were arrested were saying stuff to the players the entire game, and had a bit too much to drink.

Of course my sweet boy, has made the front page of the newspaper in the north for a fight, and Jake is on the front page of sports section getting punched (What the best part, is Robin (Jake's mom) has it in his scrapbook!) haha

You can see Jake is of course upfront (with the rest of his team) protecting one of his players..





Here is the article to read what happened http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/missions/article/Altercation-with-fans-caps-controversial-1353512.php

Frisco and away games

We are so happy with being in Frisco, and really have adjusted well! The people are so friendly here, and it's so clean! My favorite part is how nice everyone is, and in the stores everyone talks to you!!

I wanted to share some fun facts about the ballpark for all you baseball lovers out there!

The construction of the ballpark costed $22.7 million!
It was built in 2002, and first season opening in 2003.
In 2003 stated the best new ballpark in Baseball.
In 2009 Ranked as the fifth best minor league ballpark in America, according to Baseball America (think how many minor league ballparks their are!!!)

YES, it is what you think it is..A pool at the ballpark! You can watch the game, while getting a tan behind 1st base outfield. The boys love this part of course!


awww my honey's picture! So happy he smiled, I did not like his picture last year!!





Last weekend when Jake pitched on Saturday they hit the most people ever to come to a game!! So exciting! I think it was about 12,000 fans came out. 
I had to take a picture of all the people!!




Most of you know Sophie, and she is such a diva just like her daddy!  No...it's really me, and it's so funny how dogs look like their owners! Have you ever noticed that in Petsmart the next time your in there look around, and you WILL see it! 


Sophie has been such a joy to have with me, she is a little piece of home, and cracks me up! 
What's wrong Sophers?! Did I wake you up from your beauty sleep?!
I couldn't just leave that one ugly picture of her, it doesn't show how cute she is. I mean who looks good when they just wake up?!

So this was my FIRST away series, and Jake was gone for 7 DAYS! It felt like a month! He first went to Missouri for a few days, and then Arkansas. He pitched on Saturday and did well! His coach (Fulmer) from high school got to see him pitch for the first time since he's been drafted! I was so glad they got the time together, and for him to FINALLY see him pitch! 
I can't wait for Jake to be home tonight and should get in between 3-5 AM.
