Cash starts school

Last week Cash started Kindergarten. He is going to Willis ISD attending Cannan Elementary. He was tested and chosen to be apart of the dual language program. Half of his day is taught in spanish and the other half is taught in English. Its a program to teach them to be able to be fluent in both languages. So far he is really enjoying it. He likes big school as we call it in our house. Since I am working nights I get to take him to school every morning, which makes me really happy.  I believe that we are finally getting a routine down. I drop him off every morning and then take Palin before going home to go to sleep. Baseball started a couple of weeks ago, so we are having practice two days a week and a double header of games every Saturday! Let the fun begin!

Tiff's Wedding

The end of June my cousin Tiffany got married. Cash was chosen to be the ring bearer. He did great! He made it through the whole cermony and was super handsome in his tux. Its hard to believe that he is growing up and will start kindergarten in August.

                                             He lost his tooth 3 days before the wedding!

                                       Sweet and Sassy Palin! She has a mind of her own!!!

 My Uncle Tom and Tiffany. I loved this picture and the sign! I think that this was a great idea. Wish I would have done it at my wedding!

 Toby, Grandpa and Palin at rehersal dinner, and it was hot!!! June is Oklahoma was over 100 degrees!

The wedding was great and it was awesome to see so many family members that we had not seen in so long!!

Grand Slam

I saw this sign on my cousin's wife's facebook page and thought it was the best little saying since we are playing ball and have been putting a lot of pressure on Cash since we started the CAYB league for baseball. We have learned since we started that this is not for fun, these coaches, umps and parents are there to win, even if they are 5. Losing is not an option. Some of the teams have been mean! I thought this is what I need to remember, instead of being the parent on the sidelines yelling at him to pay attention, and to make sure he has a good hit.......  (you may have to click on the picture to read it but do that before you read the rest of this post)

Until tonight.....I got to be in the stands tonight, for the first time since I did not have anyone to watch Palin. I have not taken any pictures this season, and decided to take my camera tonight. We were halfway through the game and I remembered that I had it, so I got it out to take pictures the next time he was up to bat. This is the only time I got my camera out... what a good choice I made....

Here he is warming up, and getting ready while the other batter was at the plate.

When Cash got up to bat, the bases were loaded, runner at first, runner at second and runner at third. I am yelling from the sidelines, Cash you better knock them home... hit it to the fence. The next thing I know he is swinging.....

and he hits it, harder and farther than he ever has.... runners started coming into home. Cash did it! He hit a GRAND SLAM, and brought all the runners home and himself. Total score of 4 runs for his team! He was so excited and I could not stop screaming!! Talk about a proud mama. All the other parents on our team were screaming to and I think that Cash was in total shock!

At the end of the Game he got to keep the game ball since he had the best play of the game!!

So proud to be the baseball mom!!

Our Life Right Now ...

Well, looks like its been six months since my last post. It really comes down to I feel like we have no spare time, and no time to spend blogging. But here are some pictures, mostly from Easter so everyone can at least see the kids and how they are growing.

We spent Easter at Tobys parents and Jonathan, Alison and Colt were in town. Palin and Colt are 10 months apart and as you can see did not really care for each other when we put them in the wagon. They could not get away from each other fast enough. It was funny.

Palin is our drama queen. She is her own person, and totally different from Cash. It has to be Palins way and no one else's. She already has her daddy wrapped around her finger.

 Easter was a great Sunday and the weather was perfect. Trying to get some good pictures of the kids was a different story. Its almost impossible to get a good one of them, and together forget it!

Palin did not care for the Bluebonnets as you can tell, would have made a cute picture.. but she had other thoughts.

 This was a couple of months ago in our backyard. Cash thinks the world of her and I love this picture of them.

This is the main  consumption of our time lately. Toby is couching Cash's tball team and I am Team Mom.... both of them in the same season.. not a great idea. We are beyond busy! This week alone we have 2 nights of practice, and 2 games.... Until I have more time to write...
