it is over...

Baseball season that is!

Friday night Austin played and won! He had a great game. Playing left field and second base. So back to the ball field Saturday morning we went! They played very well, and gave Marengo a good battle. Unfortunately they did not pull it off!

Congrats to the Highland Blue team and coaches for a GrEaT season. They placed #1 in the season games!

And after a tough fight.... 3rd in the tournament!

Not really what the boys were after but we are all very proud of them!!!

Saturday night Johnny and I went over to a class of 1995 cookout! It was fun! Nice to see friends we had not seen in awhile and nice to see some we see often!!! I took my camera with the best intentions, guess I was too busy chatting?! Oh well hopefully we will have another one next year for our 15 year!!! Wow!!! 15 years!!!

So far this week the kids and I have been into nothing! I was looking at the calender and they only have less than 4 weeks until they go back to school. We ran into the store on Monday (with Auntie, who we miss dearly since she is a workin' girl again) and picked up some school supplies.

I had better enjoy these next few weeks, soon they will be hittin' the books!!!

catching up.....

Happy Anniversary!!!

34 years!!!

Happy Anniversary!!!

12 years!!! Saturday, while Allie and I were waiting to play our last tournament game....I had a visitor to come out and watch!!! Surprise!!!!!

I think I jumped from the highest bleacher and ran through a crowd of people to jump into his arms!!!!

The kids were pretty happy too!!!

We love to have Dad/Papaw there to watch us play/coach ball!!!!

Highland Pink ended the season on Saturday!!

We made it down to 6 teams!!! Pretty good, if I do say so myself!!

Here is a shot of our little #10 on the field #1 in our hearts...Allie LaFever and her very proud Coach/Mommy!!!!

Austin's team is now in tournaments. Saturday they won and Sunday they lost, so now he is in the losers bracket but hopeful to get to the Championship game this Sunday! He plays tomorrow night! I will try and keep posting on their progress!!!

Today the kids and I sat around to relax! Did a little housework and enjoyed a beautiful day!!!

I shot these pictures today. Not too bad for VERY unhappy children...well except for Cash, he likes to have his picture taken. The big kids

"why do we have to do this?" "this is dumb" "can't you just take our picture another day?"

NO...GET OUT THERE AND LET ME TAKE A PICTURE OF YOUR CUTE LITTLE FACE....NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

...so there you have it....3 cute little faces!!!! Enjoy!!!!

~Not me Monday~

While celebrating the 4th of July on the 3rd for red, white & BOOM I did not let my daughter play a video game instead of physical activity, because I did not want to argue with her.

I did Not do that because it was a beautiful night and tons of kids and lots of things to do.....

like play video games:o

Not me!!!!!

While weeding my front flower beds I did Not stop to find a snake slithering across my bare foot, and the dance around in a very childish way screaming like a girl to then yell for the neighbor kids to come out and find the slithering creature. And then once they found it....you know if this all really happened...ask G to hold that snake so I could take a picture. NOPE Not me!!! While sitting with our fam of 5 on Saturday I did not say to Johnny that I would love to have another baby! To which his reply was "Thank God we had the surgery last winter" Oh that's right.....well, I did not say~well maybe we can adopt one....hmmmm And then Austin and Allie at the same time "let's adopt Miss Emma" "she is sooooo cute" Gosh darn it....she is!!!!!!!!

**Red, White & BOOM**

What a fun afternoon/evening!! Where Johnny is working we were able to go downtown and sit with NO worries! Having kids at this event is just a NO NO in my book. Unless you can get where we were! Police station right beside us, cops guarding the entrance! It was safe!

The kids had tons of fun! We played corn hole, tossed the football, made bracelets, lit sparklers, and watched an amazing firework show!!

"Johnny light mine, No mine, No Mine, NO MINE" Jeff and Haylee!

The LaFever's - Cash!

He stayed with Auntie and Uncle Kelly!!

**Happy 4th of July**
