Shane's First T-ball Practice

    Shane was so excited to get to start T-ball this week!  He was very nervous on Monday to meet all of his team mates but, by the second practice on Wednesday he was a regular pro.  He loves it, and we are glad to find a sport that he really likes (soccer was just too busy for him!)  I can't wait to post pics of his first game because, really, what is cuter than T-ball!!!

His fake smile becuase I was the only mom taking pics :-)

Learning to catch

Second pratice, playing outfield.

Getting ready to bat for the first time.

He reminds me of Chicken Little here, I don't know why!

He did it!!!

Run!

He was so proud of himself!

My One Year Blogaversary

One year ago today I started this blog as a way for our family and friends to keep up with our daily life, and watch our family grow.  I love blogging, I am just not the best at actually doing it.  I am making a huge effort to get everything all caught up so I can start posting about things as the happen!  In the past year we have had many activities at school sporting events, trips to see family, lots of holidays, and a big trip to Disney World.  So, keep checking in for more post, and my blog and my 5 loyal followers will keep the posts coming!!

Good Bye Starbucks, Hello Lent 2011

First off, no I am not Catholic, but i do observe Lent.  I have been asked a million time what it is, so if you don't know you can learn more here.  This year there was alot of discussion in our church group over what each of us wanted to give up.  Some of the things given up were online shopping, sugar, and any beverage other than water (ouch, that's a hard one).  v knew right away what I was supposed to give up.  I also knew how hard it would be.  I gave up coffee!  Whether you have know me for a year or a week you know that I love coffee.  But that is the problem.  I would wake up in the morning and my first thought would be how much I wanted coffee.  When the kids were stressing me out, I would go get a coffee.  Notice a pattern.  Anytime I get stressed, I use coffee as an escape instead of going to God with it.  I know this will be really hard for me, but I am excited as well to see how I grow spiritually in the next 47 (yes 47, NOT 40) days.  I will miss you Starbucks, but there are just some (alot) of things more important.  What are you giving up??
