Future Softballer....Abby Kay!

Miss Abby Kay had her very first softball practice last night!

She and I very promptly went to Academy today and fitted her with allllll the softball necessities. :)

I'm so very proud of her! She had a GREAT time! She was the youngest and smallest child out there...but wow did the girl listen and do what she was told! :)

I must admit...we have worked more with Hayden. At her age...he was much further advanced - or so it seems - that she is. Slap a little guilt my way... but I was so proud of how she did last night. It's so obvious that this child has watched...and watched...and really paid attention over the last couple of years b/c she really picked up on things quick.

Ok. yeah. now i'm starting to sound like THAT kind of mom! WHO CARES!!!!!!! Yeahhhhhh Abby. The child can work that tongue!

Hayden

He dressed himself for school. The shorts are camoflauge. And yes the
collar is UP. And he never chose to change it :).

Happy Birthday Pepaw!

Mom & Dad came in this weekend to celebrate our birthdays. His was the
7th. Happy Birthday Dad!

Reghan

Reghan shows her pig...in just a few minutes at the Ft. Worth stock

Hat Day!

Today is hat day!!!! :)

Baking Cakes

My kids are so blessed. I am blessed. They have amazing grandparents-mine & David's parents.

Yesterday Abby & Hayden spent the afternoon at Grandma & Grandpa Ehlers. They came home with these gourmet cakes! Hayden had wanted to make a cake for his goat that he showed in the stock show. Abby...well...she wanted a cake with babies & monkeys ;)

I love this!! Barbara you are amazing :).

Nannie is coming tonight, we are waiting on pens & needles.

Its a hard life!!!!

David sent this to me of Haydens goat. I wish D would get 'in to' stock showing a little more ;)

Happy Halloween!

Hunter.

Hayden & David stayed at the deer lease last night. Hayden had been
waiting for this 'my whole life mom'

He called this morning to report that he shot a turkey and a deer! Wow!!

Then David got on the phone to report that ..,well..,they saw nothing :)

I like haydens version. ;)

Happy Birthday KB!!

Today is my dear friend Kristin's birthday! Happy Birthday!!! I love
you my friend :).

Parsley

I have a fan. And according to her...I haven't been blogging enough.
And...well that's true.

Coach Parsley evidently garners education on my blog during her ISS
hour at school.

Parsley coaches JV basketball at Lubbock-Cooper as well as heads up
the softball team in the spring. Oh oh oh. She's also the cross
country track coach.

I'm thinking she's busy. So when I told her I was going to give her a
shout on my blog...and I didn't in a week...and she called me out on
it...I really didn't have room to fanagle.

I'll do better Christy. Um. I'll try.

Gotta go. :)

Happy Birthday Abby!!

My baby girl is 4 today!!!!!! Happy birthday!! Oh my Abby Kay! I love
you :)

Laura Cloud

Laura played volleyball all afternoon...then met me for a fun session.
Thanks Laura...so much fun...and we didn't run out of gas!! :)

No trouble here

We just baptised Micheal by crushing grapes over his head. Needless to

Toe jobs

Look who I found getting pedi's?
Not Lori & Steffanie!?!

Steff-anie

Boy oh boy. Steffanie came by the other day and opened a can of worms....Hayden.
Before she left she had a bruised leg, had fallen off the couch wrestling, and attempted to toss Hayden in the pool a couple of times.

Needless to say - she has all boys at her house.

Now Hayden and Abby both wanna know when STEFFANIE IS COMING BACK OVER.

Jay & Tara's KC Wedding Shower

Auntie Debbie let me use her handy dandy point & shoot to take these! We had a great time!

Light my fire

This was candle blowing out number 4 I think.

Grandma's hoyse

Abby & Hayden at grandma's house. I had a 'meeting'. They love
decorating cakes with her-and on this fine occasion they
celebrated....everyone's birthday ;)

From the mouth of Hayden

"Mom-look at this donut hole....it has boobs!"

Tennis anyone?

I'm about to participate in the first 'real' tennis match since
highschool.

I'm a tad bit nervous-partly because my dear partner & friend Kelly
Robinson had made me out to be some tennis goddess. Oh not so.

I'm also nervous because I'm not playing with Kelly. I'm playing with
her front office guru-Minnie. Minnie has played in these 'matches'
before.

Ohhhhhhhh. I should just do as my friend Steffany Dayton says: just
hit that bouncing ball as it comes screaming at you!!

Ok
