Baseball Champs!

Our baseball season is over for the year! Brooks ended up really loving it! He learned SO much from the older kids on his team and made some sweet friends!

Somehow our kids always end up on really good teams, ones that don't lose much. I really think it's funny because come tournament time, I'm ready to lose out so we can be done and it doesn't happen! haha! Our team went 17-0 and won the league championship!

The thing about having a good team is that everyone else is jealous. Man, people don't know how to chill out when it comes to kids' sports! Why can't they just have fun??

Go Astros! :)

Catch up!

It's blood day again so I'm gonna catch up around here! I'm throwing it all in one post! haha!

Sooooo, I went skydiving again. :) We jumped with a different place this time. Only because we had previously booked with them(before I jumped at the beach) and already had paid deposits. Our jump with them was previously delayed because of weather. It was fun and I LOVED it again BUT I'll be jumping with the beach folks next time. We went about 4000 feet higher to jump and it was COLD as we were free falling. If you know me then you know how much I HATE to be cold. It was cold enough that I had trouble catching a breath and I didn't like that AT ALL! Nope. It was still the thrill of a lifetime! And I had more fun parachuting this time because I knew how to handle it!

It was my bro in laws first skydive and guess what?! He's hooked too! haha!

I chose not to wear the jumpsuit...I promise I was just as safe as they were! haha! Lots of people have asked me about that. My harness was exactly the same, I just didn't have on a suit!

 This is on the wall inside...it's very true! lol

 This man loves me! He let's me do CRAZY, insane things like jump out of airplanes!

 
 



 Just because they're cute...

 

Back in the fall we sold all of our goats except for two! I was overwhelmed with life and we had so many they weren't bringing me joy! You have to rotate your males out anyway so we dwindled our herd to two girls! A few weeks ago some of our baby goats showed up on my time-hop...cue the baby goat fever!! Gosh, they are so cute. I sweet talked the hubs into another male goat...and now we have a new little fella! His name was Rocky when we got him...the kids want to keep that but I want to name him Oliver and call him Ollie! :) He and Brooks are BEST buddies so he will probably win that one! hah!

 

 

Griffin recently had his spring band concert!

Brooks had a field trip to the zoo last week! I love me some him! My sister and Cason went with us because why not?!

Brooks is loving baseball! He's getting better and better. I guess being the baby on the team is paying off! He hit a triple the other day...what? He hit it all the way to the fence...would have been a home run had he known to keep running! hahaha!

 Mia got her first hair cut yesterday! I was going to just have it trimmed but then decided a bob would be super cute!!

 Reece recently had her color run at school!

 A few random pics that fell out of place and I don't have it in me to move them! haha! Y'all I'm on the struggle bus trying to get to the end of the school year. Between baseball, football spring practice, gymnastics, blood days, awards days, mother's day school festivities, concerts....all the year end things going on Josh and I are SO TIRED!

Baby Baller!

Get ready friends! Brooks is playing baseball! This is our little slugger's first year to play. We waited until he was a little older than we did with Griffin and Peyton. Just because we KNOW how demanding baseball is around here. It's insane, really. I HATE what it has come to. Many parents acting like 2 year olds, everyone putting ALL THE STRESS on their kids, the kids never do good enough. I HATE that it can't just be fun. But, here we are!

Unfortunately, because Brooks has a birthday before May 1st he has to play up. Meaning, most of the kids on his team turn 7 this summer. He won't even be 5 until April 22. There's those politics again. *eyeroll

So, he's the baby on the team. It's ok, he can learn a lot from those older dudes. If his attention span will hold out! haha!

He's the cutest little dude!

Memorial Day Weekend!

We had the BEST weekend! Friday afternoon we headed to Atlanta. We had plans for a day of fun at Six Flags on Saturday and a Braves game on Sunday! We thought it would be a great way to end the school year! And it was!This was shortly after we arrived and I was seriously wondering what I was going to do! haha!

After accidentally ending up in the “bad part of town” we found our way to the “good” and had some DIVINE mexican food!

The next morning we were at Six Flags when they opened the gates…and we didn’t leave until they shut them that night! That’s right, open to close. It was the BEST day! There was something for everyone to do and riding rides with my bigs is right up my ally! It wasn’t crowded at all either!
Not many pictures from that day, too busy having fun! And the big boys, they are way too cool for me to take pictures. :(

This was on the train…he LOVED it!

The next day we went to watch the Braves play ball! It was my first game to attend, along with the kids! It was super hot and since it wasn’t sold out, by any means, we moved up farther than our seats to get in the shade…once we did that it was perfect! B even napped!

That’s a WIN for the home team and for a fabulous weekend!

Baseball Champs!

Another season of baseball is in the books for us! Whew. I feel like I can breathe now. We stay SO SO busy during baseball season…go go go go! And that’s just with one child playing! We wrapped up playing last Saturday. We ended up playing two games back to back so we were there for six hours. That’s a lot for a 2 year old. We sat through the blazing sun and the pouring rain but we WON so Champions we are!

This was our Coach’s last year to coach after 14 years and his only 1st Place win! :)     I have no clue where Griffin was! Ha! Brooks is ALL UP in the coach’s talk! I LOVE this picture. Brother love!And on a side note…Brooks LOVES LOVES LOVES baseball! He has a bat that he drags EVERYWHERE….in the car, to bed, etc. He has a tee that we were letting him hit off of…then one night at the ballpark some of the kids started tossing it to him AND HE CAN HIT IT! Uh, he just turned 2! He can’t wait to play! :)

Gymnastics, Baseball, Gymnastics

Another baseball season is in the books for us! Peyton was the only one that played this year. Griffin is taking gymnastics and he’s dang good at it! And of course Reece is still taking gymnastics too!

This year Peyton moved up to the next age group and this group is where the kids do the pitching! It’s real, legit baseball from here on out! And it’s kinda scary because some of those kids throw FAST and don’t aim well so the kids get hit! OUCH! All in all we had a great season, but it keeps you running like crazy even with only one playing so I am glad it’s over! Peyton had fun with it, so that’s all that matters!We had a great team of boys…several cop kids on the team so that’s always fun for us! 

Baseball and Pedicures!

Didn’t win the championship! boo. That’s ok though because after only winning three games in the regular season we did pretty darn well to even make it to the championship! :) I’m glad baseball is over for the year!

Here are some highlights from our week full of baseball!

This was after we won the game that meant we were playing for the championship! They were a little excited…

After that game Griffin got the game ball! My little nephew is so dang cute! And he LOVES his Reece! These are the only ones that I can post from last night! The others have our last name on them! My two CLEARLY have the silly face down pat!

Now on to pedicures!

Reece had her first “real” pedicure this week! We like to get our toes did! :) haha! When we first arrived at the nail place she picked orange polish. There was a little bit of a wait and she kept changing her mind..after orange it was green and then she ended up picking blue!

I’m so thankful to have a daughter who I can do “girl stuff” with!
