12 years

Cameron turned the BIG 12 in June!!!!
Holy cow....12!!!!
He is so awesome and has the sweetest spirit. He loves his family and is a great brother to Jake and Caroline.
For his birthday, he requested that he make his own birthday cake....baseball of course. He did a great job!
I am so proud of him. He is a wonderful son and is a great example to me.




All Star 2014

Both boys made the Katy All Star team this year! Cameron was selected to be on the All Star team and Jake made the Blue-Gray Tournament team (another All Star Team). Despite both Katy teams being creamed by First Colony and Richmond, the boys played hard. I can't believe I never snapped any pictures of Jake in his All Star uniform. I am such a slacker!!! Despite my slacking, I couldn't be anymore prouder of my boys. They rocked this season of baseball!




This is the only picture I got from Jake's team. :(


2 videos from the beginning of Cameron's All Star game.

Boston Red Sox

This year we scored and the boys landed on the same baseball team! The Boston Red Sox. It was awesome. They made some great friends and had some really good coaches. Here are a few pictures from the baseball season.  Both boys got there fair share of game balls this season.
Cameron played pitcher, 3rd base, and 1st.  Pitching was mainly his calling this season.
Jake played short stop and 2nd base.
Caroline spent most of her time trying everything on the menu at the concession stand and my favorite part of the baseball season was eating sunflower seeds and the post game meal with the family.







A few clips from the boys at tryouts. This was in January and they hadn't picked up a bat in a year...not to shabby!

Always BUSY! Life in pictures!

Man, have we been busy! Most everything gets posted on Instagram and Facebook these days. However, I really want to keep up with our family blog because it is my journal of us.
So, here are some random pictures that pretty much sum up our crazy life lately...

Caroline FINALLY got her haircut. The last time she had it fully cut was when she was a year old!!! I know, craziness!!! Luckily, I have the best niece, Abbi, who is taking cosmetology while in high school. I love these 3!

I took the kids and Abbi and Marissa to Lupe's one night.  Did I mention that Lupe Tortillas brings out the crazy in my family?

The boys had baseball tryouts.  Man, did they do awesome! Especially, for not picking up a bat and ball in a year!

WE LUCKED OUT AND THE BOYS HAVE BEEN PLACED ON THE SAME BASEBALL TEAM...MORE ON THAT TO COME!!!

Caroline thought she wanted to play ball this season, but chickened out at the last minute.  However, come this fall, she will play softball!!  Because, this girl has some CRAZY MAD SKILLS!!! 

Jake finally got his glasses fixed...maybe he can finally SEE again!

Our favorite missionary finished his mission and went back home. He will be missed.  Cameron really liked Elder Leavitt and was bummed to see him leave.

And yes, this is from our Super Bowl party---way back!  And yes, we were rooting for the BRONCOS!!!

Astros vs Rangers Game

A sweet coworker of mine gave us 4 tickets to the Astros vs the Texas Rangers game. The seats were amazing. 5 rows behind 3rd base!!! The boys were in baseball heaven and I enjoyed spending the afternoon with just the boys.

While playing for the 9 year old Tigers Team, Jake received 3 game balls for the season.
1st Game Ball was for an outstanding catch in left field.
2nd Game Ball was for a hit to deep center field.
3rd Game Ball was for getting a player out on a steal to 3rd base.

However, he is in there. I promise!

He was the 1st batter up and his jersey number was 4.

Tiger Baseball

Jake played for the Tigers this year.
He did an amazing job!
He played 3rd base and was the 1st batter to lead the team off.
He was known for his "quickness and speed!"
These pictures are from the tournament game.
The Tigers made it to the Consolidation  bracket and had a crazy and amazing triple play at the end that helped them win the game!!
Gooooooo Tigers!!!!

Losing of the teeth

Our little firecracker, lost her 1st tooth. I kept hoping she would lose it at home or while we were in Florida, but nope, that little turkey lost it on one of the days she goes to Pre-School. When I picked her up from school in the afternoon, she was beaming with excitement!!! I guess it is a good thing she lost it at school, because I think it made her like school just a little bit more (she really dislikes Pre-School & is not entertaining the idea of starting Kinder very well).


About 2 weeks later, Caroline lost her 2nd bottom tooth. We were at the baseball field and we had just purchased a ring pop.  We were walking to the field, when she cries, "My tooth came out!"  Of course, it had to have fallen out on the gravel path where it had rained the night before. Dusty, Caroline, and I searched for about 10 minutes, and couldn't find it. I finally told her we would have to write a note to the fairy tooth princess and tell her she lost it. However, as we were about to walk away, Dusty found it amongst all of the gravel pebbles and rain mud puddles. He was her Hero!
