Wiener League Opening Ceremonies & First Ball Game

This past weekend was opening ceremonies for wiener league and Oakley's very first ball game!  He was so excited all morning, but when he got there and saw the HUGE crowd, he was not so sure about playing ball.  When it was time for his team to go out on the field he would not go unless Daddy went with him.  After the ceremonies were over we had about an hour before his game so we ran to the store.  On the way Oakley kept telling us he didn't want to go back to the ballpark and play ball.  Jason and I couldn't believe it!  That is all he has been talking about and he has been so excited about it!  Then we realized that he thought that all those people were still going to be there and that he was going to have to be out on the field in front of them.  We reassured him that it would not be like that for the game and that it would be just like practice, but with another team there.  He seemed okay with that and once we got back to the ball field he was fine and ready to play!!  What can I say...my little man does NOT like big crowds, but he sure liked playing his first ballgame!!

Out on the field after they introduced his team!

This was the only look I could get out of him at the opening ceremonies...I couldn't get him to crack a smile for anything!

First time up to bat.


I think he ran the whole way with his tongue sticking out!! (Funny thing is I caught a picture of Avery doing the same thing at her last ballgame!)

Oakley & Evan - always by each others side!

The huddle at the end of the game!

He reminds me so much of myself when I was little! I wanted nothing to do with big crowds and if I had to do something I wanted you, dad, or mom to be with me. lol

I'm not real sure how Oakley could see when he was running........his helmet looked like it was completly over his eyes. Reminds me of Allie. Finally, this is the third year playing and she can now halfway keep her helmet up! I bet he's going to love baseball.

Cold Days of February

Image
Even though it's cold outside, we still try to have as much fun as we can!  This particular week in February ended with a ton of fun at Great Wolf Lodge.  Jason and I decided that instead of buying the kids more "things" for Christmas, we would buy them experiences.  We hadn't been to Great Wolf since Lakelyn was one.  Avery and Oaks had been talking about going back, and were always telling Lakelyn how much fun it was.  We made a cute little note and wrapped it in a box to give them Christmas morning.  Needless to say, when they opened it, they were super excited.  Might of been the best response ever to a Christmas gift!  Beautiful snowflakes! Isn't God's beauty AMAZING!  My little Elsa watching Frozen on this snowy day.  This costume has been worn more than any other in this house!  Family challenge of who can do a handstand push up.  I lost, but I will get them next time!  lol!  Morning s...

1|52 Looking ahead, with 2017 just a reflection. My hope for 2018 is to simplify my life. Spend more one on one time with each kiddo, take more walks in the woods, sit and talk more, laugh and enjoy each other to the fullest. Oaks and I took a walk to the river today, just the two of us. It was seriously cold, but it was sweet to have some time with him. Cheers to the new year!

February Fun

At one time, February was my least favorite month.  Now I can honestly say it is one of my favorites.  Basketball is winding down, softball is only once a week and baseball, and soccer have yet to start.  Jason isn't crazy busy and we seem to have more time at home together.  These are the moments I cherish.  Again, wrestling is always a favorite activity!  Daddy got the new basketball goal put up and the kids stayed out way past dark to shoot hoops.  These two were glued to a movie.  Lakelyn was so excited to get a bag of M&M's to put in her "M&M Trophy" as she calls it.  Oakley has been wearing these house shoes every night.  Lakelyn was walking her dog! lol! Hanging out in "mine and my sisters" bedroom at Papa and Granny's.  Mom, Uncle Mike, and Oaks are looking at old pictures.  Avery, Lakelyn and Aunt Kat are playing barbies.  This bedroom will forever hold a special ...
