Softball

There is nothing like ending the summer with SOFTBALL! Ty has been on a rec league with some of his friends and Brecken has been on a Co-ed team as well. So between the two of them Kate and I have been able to watch alot of Softball! When we went to Brecken's game one of the girls on her team got hit by the ball and had to get stitches in her ear so guess who had to fill in? Yep! me! I have probably never swung a baseball bat before! I also had flip flops on! But don't worry the Haslam mom was willing to give up her shoes.... It ended up being alot of fun though! Brecken's team has all my friends from highschool on it and it was fun to catch up with all of them! I am just glad Joey and Bryce had me covered out in the outfield!

My proud fans! I even won the game ball!!!!

State Fair

No September can go by without hitting up the state fair. It was fun having our little squirt with us this year! Ty even took her down the big yellow slide! Favorites: a cow weighing 3010 pounds, Navajo Tacos, watching Hadley, Maggie and Lilly do the bobble head video, the Big Yellow Slide, and last BUT not least dancing and singing to Boys to Men just outside the concert! Ty and I both agreed we were going home and downloading all of their old songs. It brought back so many fun memories to both of us!

IT'S ALL ABOUT......

KATE!!

Kate is 8 months old and ........

Loves to read booksDoes her "funny face" to make people laugh

Has started pulling herself up in her crib (I think it's time we lower the mattress!)




thinks she's cool when she gets to move her height chair in the living room so her mom can watch SYTYCD while feeding her


Her favorite toy is her bucket of head bands

Loves hanging out with her mom all day (HATES playing alone) Is good at helping her dad play XBOX

still has to sleep all snuggled up- but I must say the past wk she has started sleeping 6-7 hour stretches. Maybe, just maybe the black rings under my eyes will start to shrink!
and crawling??? well don't you just hate it when your arms aren't quite strong enough yet? She's close and it makes her really mad so I am guessing it won't be long!
GOTTA LOVE HER! She has such a fun personality!

Eternal Families

Tonight we went to the viewing of sweet little Lucas and as I was waiting in line to talk to his parents I noticed this picture they had displayed. Does this picture not give you the chills? I swear Lucas looks just like the little boy in this picture and to know that he is in the arms of our Savior is so comforting. I am so thankful for that knowledge and understanding. Lucas has been a brave little soul that has made me a better person and because of him I will be a little more patient, have more faith, hug my loved ones a little tighter and be changed forever.
