Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

While the boys are off having a birthday slumber party, the girls are having one of their own!  Who needs boys, anyway, right?!

Orioles - Fall Ball

As previously stated, it is definitely sports season in our house right now.  Stetson is playing Fall baseball this year because he is moving up to kid pitch, rather than coach pitch.  This is a big adjustment because Stetson not only has to know how to bat against a kid pitching, but he also has to learn to pitch.

Today was the first game and we were all ready to experience this new adventure.  First up to bat...#11!

                            

The crew is all back together!

 As is the best cheering section around!

We can't forget the biggest Orioles cheerleader, though.  She still cheers her little heart out even after playing a soccer game.

The first thing we noticed was how much slower these baseball games go.  They are fun, but the boys definitely get a little restless.

Stetson also played catcher.  If you're not pitching, this is the next best position to play because it's where all the action is.

This is serious stuff.  The umpires are all geared up now and perform all the tasks you see the ones on television do.

Coach House still has his right-hand girl when it comes to handing out the game ball after each game too.  

Although this baseball season may not be as exciting as previous ones, we are really looking forward to learning a lot and gaining tons of experience.  Go Orioles!!

Sparklers

Sports season is upon us and we are so excited! This is Cassidy's first time to play an organized sport.  She is playing soccer and her team name is the Sparklers!

She sure does look cute, if I do say so myself.

Ready for her first game!

Go # 5!!!

She picked her number herself.

First game and she was one of the captains today!

And they're off!!  Let's go Sparklers!

Soccer is hard work.

Coach Daddy was there to keep them going, though.  Great job!

It is fun to cheer for Cassidy now!  She is a natural little soccer player and we are looking forward to a great season.

Slideshows

I have finally completed the kids' slideshows for the past year.  Better late than never, right?  Look to the right for "Slideshows" and you'll find them there.  Enjoy!

First Day of School

My babies are growing up too fast!  We now have TWO kids in school, which is bittersweet.  Cassidy was so excited to go to school with her big brother today, though.  I think he was excited to have his little sister with him too.

Cassidy's first day of Kindergarten!

As you can see, she wants to be a Mommy and a teacher when she grows up.

Sweet girl.

She's so big!

And now it's the even bigger boy's turn.

First day of third grade!

Love him to pieces.

Our elementary schoolers.

Again....SO big...both of them!

This picture absolutely melts my heart.

We dropped Stetson off at his classroom first so Cassidy could see how it's done.

All ready for a great year!

Have a great first day!

Diddy Bug is finally a student at Whitt!

All set and ready to go!  Have a great day!

Here's to a great school year and everything that comes with it!

Favorite Family Pics

Just thought I would share some of our favorite family pictures from our Destin trip.  I wish we were back there already!

4th Fireworks

We love attending the fireworks show in our city.  It is five minutes from the house and it is always a great show.  It has become our Fourth of July tradition.

The first time we came, Cassidy was only 1 year old.  My how she has changed!

This guy was only four and is now MUCH bigger.

But we haven't aged a day since the first time we attended.  Lol.

Once again, we were all mesmerized by the firework display.

Cassidy did get down from her chair half way through and sit with her friends, though.  Why not?!

And like every year, I have attached a small sample of what we experienced.  Enjoy!

Happy Fourth of July to you all!!!
