The boys are playing on the Brooklyn Dodgers coach pitch baseball team this year.  I absolutely love it when they’re on the same team. …makes things so much easier.  Spring baseball gets me so excited and I love watching them play.  They have played 2 games so far with a 0-1-1 record.  I hope it […]

    one BleSSed gal! - Look at those little Dodgers! Maybe we can work it out to come see them play. The boys love to watch their friends.ReplyCancel

    Sunny - I know that having the boys on the same team definitely has to make it easier on you all. I bet they are also happy to be together also. Looking forward to seeing you all at the park.ReplyCancel

    Holly - What handsome ball players! You are in the same boat as us. Every other year my crew will have two on one team, then one by himself the next. I love being at the ball park though, lucky for me! Especially when the weather is as nice as it has been lately. Hope they win some more soon!ReplyCancel

I spent a little time today practicing taking pictures with a friend, and old neighbor.  She has the cutest little girl (Kate) who has to be one of the easiest babies to take pictures of.  They are both just beautiful!!  You can find Ashley’s blog here.  Thought I would share a couple pictures from today.

It feels like it’s been FORVER since I’ve been on the computer to blog.  I’ve been far far away lately, just trying to focus on other things in my life….like cleaning the house 🙂  It’s such a strange feeling to actually have the laundry done everyday.  I guess I’ve kept it up now for about […]

Apparently you can video on the imac.  I found this little video of Carter that he recorded of himself yesterday.  For some reason Thomas and I got a big kick out of it.  See what you think.

No excuses, I’m such a dork.  It sure was fun though.

    brooke - Cort…Yep. I did it on the Mac. 🙂 It's a little icon at the bottom called "Photo booth". Thank you..about the headband. Got it at Target. Go snatch you one. I'm really lovin' headbands right now. 🙂ReplyCancel

Does anybody see anything odd about this picture?  Look closely. My brave little girl decided to get her ears pierced a few weeks ago.  We had been talking about it for a while but she was just a little too scared to actually go through with it, until, one day she randomly said she wanted […]

    Holly - I say take the other out and let it grow back up until she's a little older. Lucy begged and begged and begged to get hers done, so I waited until she couldn't stand it any more and finally got them pierced. I'm glad too, cause we had a similar situation and I was able to remind her that she "really, really, really really (add 84 more) wanted it done!" So then, she wasn't mad at me. Plus, now that Lucy is older, she can change them out, clean them, etc, on her own. Makes it much easier than if we'd done it at a younger age. Okay, that's my 2 cents! 🙂 I think you're a GREAT momma who will make the right decision either way! She sure is a cutie!ReplyCancel

    Sunny - AK has been asking to get hers done, but I'm just not so sure about all of the cleaning and everything that goes along with it.

    I would have been so shocked to have gotten that picture while away. What a sweet memory for the two of them. Have you tried letting Thomas take her back to get it done? If she won't budge, I might take that one out and let it regrow. She might change her mind if she knows that is going to happen. Let us know what you decide. We'll be there soon enough.ReplyCancel

  • February 20, 2010 - 9:38 pm

    McKinney Madness - Hmm… that's a tough one. Do they pierce both ears at the same time or one at a time? That's probably a silly question, but it's been about 24 years since I've had mine done so I'm not hip with the latest on ear piercing! : ) I want to say leave it in but if she's not budging I'd give it one last go before taking it out. I'm sure you'll make the right decision!ReplyCancel

  • February 22, 2010 - 8:21 pm

    Jamey - I think I would take it out if she's not budging on her decision. No use in cleaning and all that jazz. What is her suggestion? If she's like Avery, I'm sure she has a strong opinion! 🙂ReplyCancel

This picture was taken at my mom’s house during Marah’s Birthday Tea Party.  I can’t believe she’s already five years old!!  All the girls dressed up in their princess dresses.  Too Cute.
