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! 

Peyton’s Awards Day!

Today we had Peyton’s awards day at school! We are so glad summer is HERE!

He got several awards including A/B Honor Roll for the YEAR!

My babies are so smart! BAM!

Anytime he saw I was trying to take a picture he would make a face or stick out his tongue…He will regret these one day! HA! This is his teacher, Ms. Lyons! She also had Griff last year and made sure she had Peyton this year! She loves him, even though he was a turd sometimes! Yes I just said that. We love her! Griffin ran into another friend that he wanted a picture with! YAHOOO Summertime! Bring on the beach! I can not believe we have a 6th grader, a 5th grader and a 1st grader!

Graduates!

We have had a super busy couple of months! Tomorrow is the last day of school and I am SO EXCITED!

Last weekend my little brother graduated from high school! It seems like yesterday that he was the ring bearer in our wedding and now here he is, all grown up. Sigh. I reminded Josh that we only have one more sibling to graduate high school and then next it will be our kids graduating! Holy Moly. I’m not ready!

   He’s a cool daddy…and very metro! haha! OH MY GOODNESS…I just came across this from the beach last summer…look a wittle Brooks!!Yesterday we had Griffin’s 5th grade graduation! Yep, he’s a middle schooler now. Again, sigh.

  With Mrs. Stromburg, his principal. And then today was Reece’s Kindergarten graduation! AGAIN, SIGH…make it stop.

This is one of Griffin’s friends, Caleb. His little brother is in Reece’s class and then they have a little baby sister. I seriously could stick all three in my pocket! Reece and her BFF, Lilly. Reece with her teacher, Ms. Ivy.    Why, yes, I look tired today. NO SLEEP last night.     My babies are all growing up SO FAST!!! I love my life, I’m so blessed!

Field Tripping!

Well, it happened again! Two kids with school field trips on the same day. BOO. Reece went to the zoo a few weeks ago and Griffin’s class went to Chattanooga! I went with Griffin, it was his last elementary field trip and I also had just gone with Reece on another small field trip. Her Gigi AND Papa went with her! They had a wet, rainy, cold miserable day but they made the most of it!

I was SO excited to spend the day with just Griffin! We really had a fun time together!

We started out at Ruby Falls! Such a fun place..if you’ve never been you should go! Then we went on a riverboat cruise for lunch! Next we went to a civil war museum and then a park where you can see for MILES! It was a very long but fun day!

Then, this week I went with Peyton’s class to Montgomery! Again, super excited to spend the day with just Peyton! We went to Old Alabama Town, where we learned how things were in the old days! Then we went on a riverboat cruise for lunch---why these field trips do these things is beyond me! Too many kids that can fall off the boat! Next, we went and toured our State Capital and then we ended at the Civil Rights Museum. Long, fun day! Poor Peyton had a baseball game as soon as we got back to town! He is still tired! Bless.Sweet friends. Emily is such a sweet girl, she has been so good to Reece since she started kindergarten. She was Reece’s first friend at school, she really just took her under her wing. I am so thankful for that. She even hung with her back in the fall at football games. Sweet kid! TWO more weeks of school! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!  

Brooks’ First Birthday Party!

We celebrated Brooks a few weekends ago with a Dr. Seuss themed birthday bash!

  Yep, there’s a fish in there! :) I wish you could see the little note better! You should be able to click this picture and make it bigger!     Brooks LOVES LOVES LOVES him some Cason! Can’t wait until C gets a little bit bigger so they can play! He LOVES for you to sing the birthday song to him! In fact, we’re still singing it because it makes his day! Mmmmm CAKE! Those lashes! What you don’t see here is that he wanted to grab my FACE and kiss me!     His poor baby cheeks were red as fire because he had a fever. Mean ear infections.   He had a fun day!

And just for my records..here’s his invite.

I ordered his invite off of etsy. That’s pretty much my go-to for invitations right now!
