FIRST SEASON OF "REAL" BASEBALL IS OVER!

THE BOYS FINISHED BALL A FEW WEEKS AND HAD THEIR TEAM PARTY AND GOT THEIR TROPHY'S THEY WERE SO PROUD OF:)!  THEY BOTH DID GOOD AND HAD FUN!  AIDEN IS ALL ABOUT IT, VERY AGGRESSIVE, AND EAT SLEEPS AND BREATHS ANYTHING TO DO WITH BASEBALL.  AUSTIN IS THERE FOR THE SOCIALIZING, BUT HE IS GETTING BETTER AND SAYS HE WANTS TO PLAY AGAIN IN THE FALL.  AIDEN MADE ALL STARS AND WAS SO EXCITED!  WE ARE LOVING IT AND THAT IS WHY I AM WAY BEHIND ON MY CATCHING UP!  WE LIVE AT THE BALL PARK THESE DAYS, BUT I WOULD NOT HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY!

MY BABY BOY'S LAST DAY OF PRE-K AS A 3 YEAR OLD!

HE ABSOLUTELY LOVED SCHOOL!  HE MADE SO MANY NEW FRIENDS AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM, TRIPP!  HE LOVED HIS TEACHERS AND HE TALKED ABOUT THE GIRLS ALL THE TIME:)!  HE ALREADY MISSES IT SO I KNOW HE WILL BE READY TO GO BACK WHEN THE TIME COMES!!

END OF THE YEAR PARTIES!

THE WEEK BEFORE SCHOOL WAS OUT THE BOYS HAD PARTIES AND THEY SHOWED US A FEW THINGS THEY HAD BEEN LEARNING ALL YEAR!  IT WAS SO SWEET AND SO SPECIAL. I WAS DEFIANTLY FIGHTING THE TEARS,BUT I HAVE ENJOYED WATCHING THEM GROW INTO SUCH SWEET AND LOVING LITTLE BOYS.  I COULD NOT BE MORE PROUD OF THEM BOTH AND THEY MAKE MY HEART HAPPY!  I LOVED THEIR TEACHERS AND THEY DID TOO!  NOT A SINGLE MORNING DID THEY WAKE UP AND NOT WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL!  I WILL MISS THEIR TEACHERS DEARLY.  RJ AND I MADE A BIG DECISION AND DECIDED TO HOLD THE BOYS BACK ANOTHER YEAR. IT WAS TOUGH, BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM UPSET OR TEASED BUT AT THE SAME TIME WE WANT TO GIVE THEM EVERY SINGLE OPPORTUNITY TO SUCCEED IN THIS LIFE.  THEY HAVE EVERYTHING STACKED AGAINST THEM SO IT MADE OUR DECISION EASIER.  THEY ARE TWINS, BOYS, WERE PRE-MATURE BY 8 WEEKS, AND BORN IN JULY. SO THEY ARE NOT EVEN 6 YET.  I KNOW DEEP DOWN IN MY HEART THIS IS BEST FOR BOTH OF THEM AND SO DOES RJ.  WE HAD TO FIGHT TO HOLD THEM BACK WHICH I JUST COULD NOT BELIEVE, BUT IT IS THE TRUTH.  THANK GOD FOR ANSWERED PRAYERS! NOW WE ARE PRAYING FOR WISDOM TO TELL THEM THE NEWS AND PRAYING THEIR BUDDIES DO NOT SAY THINGS TO HURT THEIR FEELINGS!  TOUGH, TOUGH, TOUGH, BUT ONE DAY THEY WILL UNDERSTAND IT IS JUST BECAUSE WE LOVE THEM:)!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

I AM ONE BLESSED MOMMY TO THREE AMAZING BOYS THAT ARE ALL SO DIFFERENT BUT OH SO PERFECT IN THEIR ON LITTLE SPECIAL WAYS!  I ALWAYS DREAMED OF BEING A MOMMY AND I AM SO BLESSED AND THANKFUL THAT DREAM CAME TRUE!  THEY ARE MY LIFE AND I LOVE WATCHING THEM EACH GROW INTO THE LITTLE BOY'S GOD MADE THEM TO BE!  I LOVE YOU BABY BOYS TO THE MOON AND BACK!

JAX TEAM PARTY!

THE LITTLE CUBS HAD THEIR PARTY AT DAIRY QUEEN AND THEY WERE ALL EXCITED TO RECEIVE THEIR TROPHIES!  IF YOU CAN'T TELL JAX WAS JUST TICKLED TO DEATH TO HAVE HIS VERY OWN TROPHY NOW:)!  I CANNOT BELIEVE IT IS OVER ALREADY,BUT I HAVE TO SAY I AM GLAD THEY WILL ALL BE IN COACH PITCH ON THE SAME TEAM FOR AWHILE:)!  JAX WILL BE PLAYING UP STARTING THIS FALL!  IT SHOULD BE INTERESTING TO HAVE THEM ALL THREE ON THE SAME TEAM IF THEY ALL THREE DECIDE TO PLAY THIS FALL!

JAX THE BALL PLAYER!

TEE BALL IS OVER!

JAX HAD HIS LAST GAME ON SATURDAY AND I HAVE TO SAY HE DID GREAT.  THE FIRST GAME I DID NOT THINK HE WAS GOING TO MAKE IT BECAUSE HE CRIED EVERY TIME HE DID NOT GET THE BALL!  FINALLY AFTER HE FIGURED OUT HE WOULD NOT GET THE BALL EVERY TIME HE WAS GOOD TO GO!  HE LOVED IT AND DID REALLY GOOD!  HE'S READY FOR COACH PITCH NOW SO HE CAN PLAY WITH HIS BROTHER'S:)!

DIRT MAKES THES BOYS HAPPY:)!

WE HAD A PIECE OF THE LAND TILLED TO PLANT A GARDEN AND AS YOU CAN SEE IT TURNED INTO A BIG PLAYGROUND FOR ALL THE BULL DOZERS, DUMP TRUCKS, TRACTORS, AND BOB CATS:)!

THE LITTLE BRO WIN'S!!

I DON'T KNOW HOW JAX MANAGED TO WIN THE HOSE PIPE BATTLE BUT HE DID!  I LOOKED OUT THE DOOR AND SAW THIS BEGIN TO UNFOLD AND ALL I COULD DO WAS WATCH AND LAUGH:)!  BOYS WILL BE BOYS!  NEEDLESS TO SAY THEY LEFT THEIR CLOTHES ON THE BACK PORCH AND WENT STRAIGHT TO THE BATH TUB:)!!

BASEBALL BUDDIES!

THIS IS AIDEN AND AUSTIN WITH THEIR TEAMMATE ANDERSON AND HIS LITTLE BROTHER PLAYS TEE BALL LIKE JAX.  JAX AND ADAM HAVE BECOME GOOD LITTLE BUDDIES PLAYING TOGETHER WHILE THEIR BIG BROTHER'S PLAY BALL!
