First Home Run

Cody hit his first over the fence home run this year!  It was the most amazing moment for him, his team, his coaches, his dad and myself.  To say that baseball is Cody's favorite sport would be a huge understatement.  He eats, sleeps and breathes baseball.  This great moment only added to his love of the game.  It's necessary to have struggles and learning curves with anything you work towards.  However, it's those little victories that keep you going.  This was one of those victories.

So proud of you, Cody!  You will always and forever be our All-Star!

Birthday Girl

Chloe Faith is 6 years old! 

Chloe 1st Year of T-Ball

Chloe had her first year of t-ball this year.  It was so fun to watch her actually be able to play this year.  For all our previous years, she was just the little sister that cheered on her brother and sister at their baseball/t-ball games.  Getting into the action was exciting and a little nerve wracking for her, but she did great!

Her, "Quit taking pictures of me, mom!" look.

Drowning Worms

Cody hoping for a big fish... or a little fish...  even a dead fish would be exciting.

Daddy getting every one set up.

Waiting... waiting...

One guess on how many fish we caught.

First game of the season.

Playing first base.

School's Out for Summer

Another school year is under our belt.  Like most years, this one flew by.  In the fall we will have a 6th grader, 5th grader and 1st grader!  I can barely believe it.  A middle schooler.... really?!?!  When did that happen?  I'm fairly certain we just brought him home from the hospital last week.  Even with the awe in how fast time slips by, this time in our lives has to be my most favorite yet.  I love how each kiddo is developing their unique personality.  I know my bias is more than obvious, but we have some pretty neat kids.  I love how much we laugh!  There is never a dull moment with these three.

Samantha Grace (10), Chloe Faith (almost 6), Cody Michael (10.75)  :-)

And, yes... Cody is getting tall.  I'm thinking he could be looking me in the eye by the end of summer.  And, Chloe is almost as tall as Samantha.  I make them stand on an incline to even the playing field a bit.
