Baseball Season is Over

Cool Shades

My big boy did t-ball this summer.  He has improved so much.  Stevie really seemed to really enjoy t-ball.  Seeing him play was such a joy.  I can't believe he is making such awesome hits without the tee.  Stevie played awesome on the field as long as he got to touch the ball.  It was always a mad house as the kids attacked the ball and Stevie was no different.  My heart breaks just a little as I realize how big he is getting.  We are so blessed.

Dinner Time

 I love that my kids want to help with dinner.  They want to be involved in everything!  It makes things take longer, but that is when I need to step back and enjoy the moment.  It will be too soon when helping will no longer be a fun event with mommy.  Dinner was steak and sweet potato fries.  The men did the meat and us girls did the fries.  It turned out pretty well!

Marker Attack

I left Abbie alone for five minutes while she was coloring and she turned herself into the joker!  And got Benny involved.  Thank goodness we buy washable markers because she likes to do make up alot.

Garden

Abbie's Tomatoes

We finally have some produce out of out garden.  It wasn't much, but it was a start.  Too bad the dog dug up part of the garden a few days later.  Ben sure enjoyed our soup we made.  Abbie at least let me use one of her tomatoes for the soup since she wolfed the tomatoes down after we picked them.

Last Day of School

Today was the last day of school.  Bittersweet day for mommy.  Stevie had a fun day and got to take his bike to school.  We spent so much time outside today and got our garden finished up.  You know it is an exciting day when everyone is ready for bed at 8.  My little boy is officially done with preschool and will start pre-k next year.  And my baby girl will start preschool.  Where does the time go?

Summer time

 Boy was this a busy busy day.  We were outside practically all day.  It was so nice out even a little warm.  With lots of "help," we started the garden planting.  Let's see how long we can keep this thing alive.  The kids are loving the new "jumpy thing."  It definitely helps tire them out for the day.  Too bad Abbie didn't want to take a nap and was on an emotional break down at 4.  It was easily an early bedtime.  I love that summer time is here.

Graduation

Thank goodness my baby is not graduating this year because that would make me super sad.  He did awesome at his performance today.  I loved that he actually sang.  My little man is getting so big.  He has been telling me all year that he wants to be a police man (sometime fire man) when he grows up, but right now it is a window man.
