Softball is Over

Yours truly did not play softball and I don't know a lot about it quite honestly.  I'm assuming most rules are like baseball...if not...I'm lost then.  Annie girl LOVES the sport and I love watching her play.  She thrives out there.  This was her second spring to play and both times she was selected to play All Stars.  Unfortunately, she can't play because we will be out of town during some of the tournaments.

Very proud of her trophy

Bryan was my little Korean student.  He is 1 and a million.  So sweet.  So loved.  A class favorite.  He came to lunch with us.
He sat in my lap a lot this year!

Ford played catcher during rec ball some.  Taking after his daddy.

Ford taught Annie how to drive the 4 wheeler.

Annie and I went for pedicures....

When momma mows and gets stuck Bitty saves the day.

Bitty has been wanting contacts for over a year.  This year his dream came true!

Annie went to softball and cheer camp last week.  She got the "Lady Chief Award" which is all the awards mixed into one.  (coachable, hustle, etc.)



The littles have been picking flowers and taking them to older widow ladies who live near us.

And not only did he get contacts, BUT Puh bought him Oakleys.
Saturday night was a girls night out.  We headed to Sardis, ate and listened to music at Rafters.

Ford played a huge tournament in Kansas City, Missouri, this weekend.  The littles and I stayed home.  Trey and Ford rode with Walt and Griff.  Thankfully, a mom sent me pics.




 
I know.  I knew.  I realized.  I was aware.  I tried to ignore it.  BUT I have gained a significant amount of weight this school year.  When most of my clothes didn't fit I had to make a lifestyle change.  I love food.  I eat food for all the reasons.... I stress eat, bored eat, hungry eat, party eat, eat because I pass the pantry, eat because a kid brings donuts etc.

New week.  New activities.  Bitty is attending football and baseball camps.

End of Yea Activities

We go to church on Wednesday nights.  From grades one- four the children take part in a group called "Children in Action".  They do various projects and such to serve others.  At the end of every school year they have a badge ceremony.  When they complete fourth grade they get to keep the sash.





And school is over....




I snapped a picture of Ford on his last day of kindergarten walking in the building and I did so again on his last day of elementary.  

Comparison shots....
