PLAY BALL!

I can't believe it---the boys FINALLY won a game! Mace and Jake had their first baseball game on Saturday and they won 6-5! Nana, BooBoo and the girls came to see the game and after an hour and half late start. . . their team, the Mariners, were the victors! Chad is the assistant coach and is really enjoying playing ball with his boys again. I did take a few pics of some sites I saw at the Mississippi ballpark (The 'camo' chair seem to be a favorite and the coach on the other team was a cop still on duty. And yes, he still had his gun in the holster!)

Happy Birthday To You!

Today is Mace and Jake's 9th birthday--I can't believe it--they are getting so big! We started out our day as usual heading off to school. The boys are lucky enough to have to take their first standardized test this week. After a day of testing, we left school and went to McDonald's for dinner where the boys proudly showed their Dad their third quarter report cards---STRAIGHT A'S! We are so proud! But we couldn't hang out for too long because they had baseball practice. By the time they got home it was almost 8:00 so we sang "Happy Birthday", opened presents, then shipped them off to the shower to get ready for bed. It was a normally hectic day, so tomorrow we are taking them out to eat their special birthday dinner. They agreed on the place---Chuck E. Cheese! I love you, my boys. Happy Birthday!

Spring Forward!

Due to the beautiful weather, we went to the store and bought the kids an inflatable 12 x 3 pool with a pump. We thought it would give them something to do. Well you know what they say about the best laid plans. . . .well apparently our backyard isn't the best laid, either. The entire yard is on a slope! Every time we would go to fill the pool, only one side would get water; then, it would overflow on that side and drain down our yard. The adults thought it was pretty funny, but the kids were mad. They are also pretty STUBBORN, too; they just sat on the ladder in a deflated pool splashing around in the puddles! I think they had fun anyway!

Pony Rides

Happy Birthday!

On Saturday, March 3rd, we celebrated Callie's 4th Birthday and Paw Paw's 54th Birthday. Chad grilled ribs and rented a pony for the day. We were surprised when our friends, the Goodnights, showed up at the party! They were in town from Houston and surprised us--it was a nice treat! We had a sleepover, too! Callie, Jalyn, and Megan had a slumber party. Mace and Jake tolerated them quite well. Happy Birthday, Callie-Girl! Happy Birthday Paw Paw!
