A girly girl..

First I apologize for not posting in so long. It felt like I was on one seriously long vacation and it has taken me awhile to catch up on things. I have on occasion tried to post but couldn't upload any pictures. And what is a post with NO pictures! So here we go again..this is how I found Sweet Ellie coming out of her room this morning. She has a thing for accessories and I can only imagine the fun I am going to have with her!

It was only 8:15 and she's already got her shoes on too!

She is going to be such a rockstar!

Just because...

It's been awhile and they are just so stinkin cute I can't help but show them off!

This is one of my favorites

I love how she's turning into such a girly girl!

Now this is love..

She loves to give kisses

He is just the cutest

Happy as can be using daddy's sprinkler as her microphone

She's dancing here, and still has the sprinkler part

This is his most favorite thing to do outside and he is quite a pro at driving

No words...(well just a few)

An Awesome hit

A standup double

Steals 3rd

Home, but where's the plate?

A great group of boys

Take me out to the ball game...

We found a "free" field and it was time to play our Memorial Day Tourney! Here's a group shot before the fun began...

We pulled out all the stops this year with "Event" staff and

Cheerleaders!

Base coaches

"Double" catchers
A few stray runners
a couple lost shoes

Even an old "Pro" showed up! Next year we wanna see the retired shorts!

Some newbies..

and serious athletes

we even had helmet warmers

and "wanna be" home run hitters

double pitchers

and picky ball hitters

now here's the real deal

and his offspring

Wait a minute, how did the "event" staff get to play?

and the "closet" bowler came too, she's multi talented!

just look at the intensity of that infield..

and way to go Chelle for FINALLY putting a helmet on him!

j.k.-we love you Blakers

something funny was goin on with the batting order because this boy was up to bat a whole lot-we need to review the books

and this one? Well he was keeping score and had my camera now I have about

15 pictures of her butt so now the game is up for review!

Oh well, all in all we had a AWESOME time and we only ended up with....

ONE FATALITY!

She's a beauty...

I am still very tired but it is soo worth it. We finally finished up the outside and I love it. Here's a few pics but it will look even better when all the flowers start to bloom. We also have some reseeding to do in the lawn and add some large stones. We have a little more to work to do on the other side of the house and when we're done I'll post pics.
