Softball!

Jacey's first softball season started last night. Her team beat White Deer 15-9! We are so proud of these girls. Jacey didn't play last year but she decided to give softball a try this year. She is loving it! 

Of course, I love to watch her play. Her coach thinks she does better at left-handed batting. Jacey is not totally confident with this decision. She was walked on her first time up to bat. She quickly stole 2nd and then 3rd. She scored on the next hit! She was upset she didn't get to hit but it was a great game! 

Jakob's team had a hard loss last night. The score was 15-14...but what a ball game! I hate I missed it, but you can't be in two places at once. 

Baseball again!

I don't want to blog about the same thing all the time but Jakob had another great game last night. I know he doesn't get his athletic ability from me. This is an article written about the game that I just had to share: 

I am one proud mom, to say the least! 

I love this quote and believe it sums up how I feel about watching my kids play sports. I hate to miss anything they are involved in. That is why it is going to be difficult when Jakob and Jacey are playing on the same nights. 

Tomorrow is Jacey's special day-district fashion show. She is so excited! I hope she doesn't get too nervous. 

Baseball Season!

Our life is officially BUSY again. Another sport season has begun. Jakob started games on Monday. The worst part is his games are on the same night as Jacey's. So I won't see him play much this year. Luckily, Jacey's season starts next week.

He played second base, third base and pitcher on Monday.

We played Panhandle and even though they didn't win tonight...I am still his biggest fan! He got to be the closing pitcher and only allowed one run. He gets so nervous pitching, shows just how serious he is about doing his best! 

I hope I can keep these white pants white! Let's bring home a win on Thursday.

 

  

Braces!

After three years, Jakob is finished wearing braces! His teeth look so much better...Before braces Jarret referred to his teeth as can openers! I will have to find a picture to post to show the improvement. 

We are on our way to get them removed. 

He looks so different without them! Also his orthodontist office had a march madness basketball pot and Jakob won 2nd place out of almost 100 entrants. He won a $25 gift card to academy and also a nice prize package. 

He is such a lucky kid (or great at picking winning teams)! 

Jacey Fashion Show

Jacey participated in the Armstrong County Fashion Show on Thursday. At first she couldn't decide if she wanted to participate. I am so proud of her, she was very confident modeling in front of the judge and answering questions.  She also modeled in front of the crowd without any hesitation. 

Answering questions about her garment for the judge.

We were so proud to hear her name called as the winner of the dressy category as well as the best rookie model! It makes me so happy to celebrate in my children's achievements. Jacey has come out of her shell so much this year. She gets to go on to compete at the district competition on May 3!

Samuel's Easter Party!

IToday was Samuel's Easter party at school. Samuel is my easy going child who doesn't care if I am at his party or not but Jacey wants me at every party. I have been going to all of Jacey's parties but I decided that grandma could go with Jacey! Samuel had a blast hunting eggs. 

After hunting eggs we had coke floats in the classroom. Of course it is a cold and windy day for the party. 

It is a bittersweet day because this is Samuel's last holiday party in Kindergarten! Times goes too quickly. 

Ruby Lynn

We are so honored to be our niece, Ruby Lynn, Godparents. We celebrated her baptism Saturday evening.  

She is a precious baby. She was perfect during the baptism and did not make a sound. 

We had a party afterwards at Pat and Maggie's house.

 We had lots of fun visiting, eating and watching the kids rin around. 

Angela and the kids were here for almost two weeks so it was great to be able to spend time with the kids and get to hold Ruby. I was able to rock her to sleep one afternoon. We miss getting to see them!
