Party Time!

Saturday we spent the afternoon at Kaleb's birthday party. A little background...Kaleb is Jon and Rachel's 6 yr old son. Jon, Justin and I all graduated high school together, and we met up with him and his now wife Rachel at our reunion last year. Got to chatting up with them and they also have 3 kids...Rachel and I hit it off, and so that brings us to the present. LOL

Here's Mr. Handsome Kaleb himself! (blue shirt)



And the rest of the kids and I enjoying the day! :)


The "little" girls....and the "big" girls.

THANK YOU MARY KAY!!!

Ok, so I am not below a little bribery!! If Faith is anything...she is a GIRLY girl! Don't let the wanting to play T-ball fool ya! She loves her some lip gloss, dress up, SHOES....so I brought along some lip gloss and lo and behold....

SHE BATTED AND SHE PLAYED FIRST BASE AND SHE LOOOOOOVED IT!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!! I was SOOO excited and SOOO proud of her!! She was very proud of herself too!! :) ( I think she even forgot about the "lips"!) LOL

Go Tigers!

This year is Faith's turn for T-ball. Falyn wants to do gymnastics and soccer (which both start later in the year) and Faith BEGGED to play T-Ball...so...well...I signed her up for 3 yr old T-Ball at the Y. WHAT was I thinking? I KNOW how shy this child is, and I guess in all honesty, I really thought she would be ok with it and play. Heck NO!! Tuesday was our first game. This child wanted NOTHING to do with T-Ball. LOL She didn't want to talk to anyone, meet anyone, NOTHIN'!! I did finally manage to get her out on the field to throw with me. We were out in left field, when a little boy got up to bat. I told her "watch this boy, he might hit the ball to you, and then you go get the ball, ok?" - "ok, mommy" - watching very intently (mommy got excited here), ball LINED drive to Faith! - ball lands two feet to her left, she stares at it - "Faith! get the ball! There it is! Get it!" - 8 tiny t-ballers running at Faith - "MOMMY!!!!" - Faith runs to me! All I could do was laugh!! LOL Maybe next time! LOL

I was this "-" close to having her up to bat, and they started cheering for her. Yep, it was all over, she didn't want to bat! :P Oh well. She has 7 games left...surely she'll get used to it by the end of the season? LOL Here's my little T-baller! :) (Thank you Grandpa Randy for taking these, while wrestling with Chandler-man!)

Pensacola

Just a FEW of the TOOOONS of pics I took while we were there last week...so check back soon! It was VERY hard to see my old house and then even harder to have dinner with the couple that bought it and not BEG to go see it. I never really realized how much of an attachment you can have to a house....but when 2 of your babies came home to it, crawled for the first time there, took their first steps there....memories!

Here they are playing in the sprinkler at Tracy's! Thanks again 1000x babe! Love ya!




Isn't she just gorgeous!?

Needed to take a step back...

and just remember why it is that I love this job and what I do. These beautiful babies right here are why...

So I borrowed a lens I have been drooling over forever and took them out to this huge field...and we sweat to death, but it was worth it! (they look washed out on here, but they are vibrant!)






Some more today...
