A Little of Everything

This will be a random collage of everything...you okay with that..okay here we go...

We've been "ballers" for the past couple months.  Jax has fell in LOVE with baseball!  He wants to to play everyday out in the yard, even when it's a sweltering 100*!  Mama doesn't like that part of it!  He knows the names of several teams, so he tells us who we play for and if we win or lose!  Surprisingly his team ALWAYS wins! ha!  Here are a few pictures of the last game....you will see at the end his favorite part of the whole season!

(he always slid into home because "that's what they do on tv!")

Seriously could his smile be any BIGGER!  Love it!!

We've also been swimming a ton!  The weather is cooling back down this week, but I figure the kids won't care...they will still be begging for sunscreen and bathing suits.

My Laney Lou Lou :)

Titan's face cracks me up in this!

Gotta love her little piggies!

We've also been going to the lake every weekend now.  I need to start remembering to take more pictures out on the lake.  We have such a great time with all our friends down there.  Makes me so happy all the memories we create on the lake :)  I know our kids will forever have stories to tell about their childhood on the water!

My goal for the summer is to get Laney (my stubborn child) to learn her ABC's.  Luckily she is FINALLY letting me teach her!  We are chugging along, she's up to J, and has mastered the sounds too.  I'm proud of her.  It was touch and go at first because she wants things her way, or NO WAY!  Glad she is starting to figure out I do actually know what I'm talking about!  At least for today she realizes it, tomorrow may be another story! ha!

We haven't been terribly busy, but it still seems like we run in circles some days.  I've told myself it's summer, if my house is dirty so be it...now if I can just get my OCD to agree with me!  Till next time kids.....

 

Peanuts and Crackerjacks

Jax had his first t-ball game yesterday.  He did great!  He was so excited that he didn't have to use the tee either time he batted.  He also says he got a home run.  Technically he was the last batter, so they sent him around all the bases instead of just to first.  I let him think he got the homer...I wasn't crushing the dreams of the future Babe Ruth :)

Here are a few pics of the game...

Start of the game!  (that's Titan in the background)

Getting advice from Coach Travis.

See his tongue...yeah it always hangs out when he is concentrating! ha!

The end of the game.  He told me afterwards that Titan explained to him how this worked.  Titan says "hold your arm out and say good game over and over"  I asked Jax if he knew why you said that, he goes "because that's what Titan says to say!" ha!

And of course..Miss Laney now says she needs a glove to "practice" with the boys!  Looks like she's going to be a sports girl too!

His game face....

Hope everyone had a great weekend!  We finally got some nice weather at the lake house yesterday too...much needed after the 500 days of rain!!

And So It Begins...

the bleacher butt that is!  Today was Jax's first t-ball practice.  So that means the beginning of bleacher butt galore!  From now until he's out of school I will be sitting in bleachers somewhere, watching some sport.  I'm okay with it though!  As long as he's loving it, so will I!  And after today, he's in LOVE!  He talked about how many times he hit the ball, and how many times he threw the ball, and how fast his cleats made him run.  It made my heart melt, and so do his "fast" little cleats...just look at them, they are so stinkin' cute!!!

The games start in a few weeks, and it should be entertaining to say the least!  I will post "action" shots when the season starts.  I'm just hoping the action shots aren't of him playing in the dirt, or picking weeds!  ha!!  Until then I'm off to watch basketball...I mean Kentucky is in the Final Four BABY!!!  (that was my Dick Vitale impersonation in case you couldn't figure it out! ha)

Enjoy your weekend...or at least whats left of it :)
