COWBOY BIRTHDAY PART!

SATURDAY BEFORE LAST WE WENT TO JOHN THOMAS' BIRTHDAY PARTY AND IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!  IT WAS A COWBOY THEMED PARTY SO THEY GOT TO DRESS UP WITH THEIR COWBOY HATS AND PRETEND TO BE REAL COWBOY'S FOR THE DAY:)!  THEY LOVED IT AND HAD SO MUCH FUN!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOHN THOMAS!

MOMMY'S FAVORITE PART!

I LOVED SEEING THEM UP THERE ON THAT HORSE!  THEY ALL LOVED IT, BUT I THINK JAX DID THE MOST.  AUSTIN HAD FUN TOO, I THINK IF ANY OF THEM WERE TO BECOME A COWBOY IT WOULD BE HIM!  HE WANTED TO RUN AND THEN YOU CAN SEE HIM UP THERE WITH HIS HANDS OUT TO THE SIDE NOT HOLDING ON!  HE IS DEFINITELY MY LITTLE DARE DEVIL!  AIDEN IS ALWAYS VERY CAREFUL WITH ANYTHING HE IS DOING, SO HE WAS HOLDING ON:)!!

SPORTING THEIR GREEN!

THEY ALL WERE LOOKING GOOD IN THEIR GREEN SHIRTS FOR ST. PATRICK'S DAY:)!

ENJOYING THE DAY!

 PAPA JOE CAME OVER TO WATCH THEM CHECK OUT THE FISH AND THE BOYS LOVE SEEING PAPA AND HE LOVES WATCHING THEM ENTERTAIN HIM:)!  WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THESE WARMER DAYS AND SUNSHINE:)!

CHECKING ON THE FISH!

LAST WEEK SOUTHEASTERN POND MANAGEMENT CAME OUT TO CHECK ON THE FISH IN OUR LAKE AND IT WAS REALLY COOL!  THEY SHOCK THE WATER AND A LOT OF THE FISH COME UP TO THE TOP SO THEY CATCH THEM, THEN THEY WEIGH THEM AND MEASURE THEM TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE GROWING RIGHT AND ALL THAT GOOD STUFF!  THE BOYS LOVED IT AND HOPEFULLY ONE OF THEM WILL CATCH ONE OF THOSE BIG ONES SOON:)!

OUR FIRST "HIKE"!

LAST THURSDAY THE BOYS AND I PACKED A BAG FULL OF SNACKS, A PICNIC BLANKET, AND OF COURSE MY CAMERA AND OFF THROUGH THE WOODS WE WENT.  IT WAS SO MUCH FUN AND THE BOYS THOUGHT IT WAS SO COOL.  ALL OF US ENJOYED PLAYING IN THE MUD A BIT EXCEPT FOR JAX! FOR SOME REASON HE WAS SCARED OF IT:)!  I LOVED THIS DAY FULL OF DOING NOTHING BUT ENJOYING EACH OTHER AND ENJOYING ALL OF GOD'S CREATION!  I THINK THE BOYS DID TOO BECAUSE THEY ALL STOPPED TO PICK ME FLOWERS AND TOLD ME HOW MUCH FUN THEY HAD AND WERE ALREADY PLANNING OUR NEXT "HIKE"!  IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE THAT MAKE ME HAPPY:)!

OUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME!

BASEBALL SEASON IS HERE AND THIS YEAR WITH ALL THREE BOY'S PLAYING WE ARE THERE PRETTY MUCH THERE EVERY NIGHT EITHER PLAYING OR PRACTICING WITH ONE OF THEM. DADDY IS COACHING JAX AND HELPING COACH THE BOYS SO HE IS A BUSY DADDY !  GOOD THING THEY LOVE BALL PARK FOOD BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE WE USUALLY EAT SUPPER 3-4 NIGHTS OUT OF THE WEEK:)!  WE WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY AND LOVE WATCHING ALL THEIR BUDDIES AND COUSIN GRIFFIN PLAY WHEN WE ARE NOT PLAYING:)! JAX IS SUCH A GOOD LITTLE BROTHER AND ACTUALLY SITS DOWN AND WATCHES THE BOYS PLAY AND CHEERS THEM ON:)!

BOY'S FIRST "REAL" GAME!

SO THIS YEAR IS THE BOY'S FIRST YEAR TO PLAY SPRING BALL IN THE 5-6 YEAR OLD LEAGUE WHERE THEY ACTUALLY KEEP SCORE AND YOU ONLY GET 3 STRIKES AND NO TEE. NEEDLESS TO SAY IT IS A BIG CHANGE FOR THEM, BUT THEY ARE BOTH DOING GOOD AND MOMMY LOVES IT:)!

AIDEN'S FIRST AT BAT HE GOT A HOME RUN, SO HE WAS PUMPED ABOUT THAT. HE IS VERY COMPETITIVE AND AUSTIN IS THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE. HE LIKES THE SOCIAL SIDE OF BASEBALL, YOU KNOW HANGING OUT IN THE DUG OUT AND RUNNING TO THE CONCESSION STAND ANY CHANCE HE GETS:)! HE GOT A GOOD HIT HIS FIRST GAME TOO AND MADE A REALLY GOOD STOP ON SECOND BASE. AIDEN GOT TO PLAY FIRST AND DID GREAT! I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE FUN GAMES AND I EVEN THOUGH WE WILL PRETTY MUCH LIVE AT THE BALL PARK THIS SPRING I KNOW I WILL LOVE EVERY MINUTE OF IT!

MY BABY BOY'S FIRST GAME!

LAST SATURDAY WAS JAX'S FIRST TEE BALL GAME AND HE WAS SO EXCITED!  I CAN'T BELIEVE MY BABY BOY IS OLD ENOUGH TO PLAY BALL,BUT HE IS AND HE LOVES IT. DADDY IS COACHING HIM THIS YEAR AND OF COURSE HE LOVES THAT.  I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE FUN GAMES.  THEY ARE JUST TOO FUNNY TO WATCH AT THIS AGE!

HE LOVED HITTING!

HE LOOKED SO STINKIN' CUTE WALKING UP TO THE PLATE FOR HIS FIRST BAT AT TEE BALL!  HE HIT THAT BALL AND RAN STRAIGHT TO FIRST BASE LIKE A BIG BOY AND MADE IT ALL THE WAY TO HOME PLATE!  HE WAS SO PROUD AND SO WAS MOMMY:)!

MY POOR BUDDY!

 JAX WANTED TO GET THE BALL SO BAD WHEN HIS TEAM WAS ON THE FIELD,BUT HE NEVER GOT IT.  MAYBE HE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN ONE IF HE WOULD HAVE STAYED OUT THERE A LITTLE LONGER BUT AFTER THE FIRST FEW BATTERS HE WAS SO UPSET AND RAN OFF THE FIELD TO PAW PAW.  HE WAS SO CUTE TOO.  HE WAS DOWN AND READY THE WHOLE TIME,BUT HIS LITTLE FEET WERE JUST NOT FAST ENOUGH.  HOPEFULLY HE WILL GET HIS TURN IN THE CIRCLE SOON AND GET A BALL IF NOT I THINK HE MAY JUST BE A PINCH HITTER ALL SEASON:)!
