Coolest Plaque Ever!!

My brother had this made for Z at the end of the season. Pretty much sums up his whole season in one Scripture!

What a Season!

Z's team made it all the way to 4th place out of 12 teams! He did an amazing job and learned so much this year. We are so proud of him. When he first started, he wasn't sure how to hold the bat. Now he knows how to hit, (almost every time he's up to bat!) terms of the game and how to field!

 This game was a total nail-biter! The team needed to win in order to advance in the tournament. Z was the last to bat and enabled our team to pull ahead and win the game!! It was such a fantastic moment that we'll probably never forget.

 After the next game, the team got their trophy ball complete with signatures from the team and coaches inside a nice display case.

Can't wait for next season!!!

Hopefully, We're Back in Action!

The end of school was a blast as usual! The kids had their play days (all on separate days) the last week so Dylan and I volunteered to help out;) 

 Ainsley also had a bowling field trip so we went there too!

 Z is still going strong with baseball. The season is coming to an end with only a few more games left. He has had quite an introduction to baseball and learned a lot. One of his coaches said he is the player that has improved the most this season. I'm hoping he wants to play again because he seems to be pretty good at it. 

 And of course, Little Brother wants in on the action too!

 With the first week of summer under our belts, the kids opted for summer styles. 

We have some vacation bible schools coming up this month and hopefully a trip down to the lake. Play dates and picnics in the park, trips to the library and lots of swimming are on the menu too! 

Happy Summer!!

I Apologize

I am experiencing technical difficulties accessing my blog. I have been unsuccessfully trying to post for the last week but I cannot even log on except through my phone. This does not lend itself to uploading my pictures at the moment. Please continue to visit periodically as I hope to have the issue resolved soon!

Happy New Year!!

Happy 2014 everyone! I pray that the new year brings you joy and blessings beyond measure! I am looking forward to what comes our way in 2014 and hope to be sharing it (more consistently) with all of you!

Here are some of the last highlights from 2013.
