10 months old already and some ball!

I can't believe it. It does not seem like 10 months ago when I was sitting in a classroom and realized that I needed to call my doctor. Then only about an hour after that I was laying in a hospital bed waiting for my labor to start. When it started it really started!! Only 4 hours later Miss. Kennedi was here!! What a great day!! She is a wonderful baby... hmm maybe that is why she will be a big sister in a few months (well 6 actually). I just hope the next one is as good as she is. I have been so lucky so far to have 3 really good babies. I just hope that I am not pressing my luck now!!

This week is going to be a crazy one! Avery is heading to Florida tomorrow to see his grandparents on his dads side. He will be there for the week having fun and getting spoiled I am sure.

Conner on the other hand will be here in Newnan with his dad. This is Conner's last week of rec league baseball. I remember when he was in t-ball and we had to drive past the 13-14 field each week. I always thought how exciting it was to watch those older boys. They knew baseball and the plays were just automatic. I thought that it was going to be forever before Conner got to that stage. Well forever is here and it really was not that long, in fact it was not long enough! I feel like he was just in that purple diamondback uniform, hitting the ball and it barely going two feet, and still being able to turn it into a home run. Not because he was an exceptional player at that age but because that was t-ball, where every hit ends up being a home run! I guess I blinked because now its the last week of 13-14 for him. Next year it will be the 9th grade high school team (hopefully). WOW, gotta get some kleenex.

Ok back to baseball without the sappy tears. HUGE game this week for Conner!! The Nationals vs Angels. This is the biggest game of the season, not becuase its a 1st place spot for us if we win but instead we knock the Angels out of 1st if we win. Yes, it would be wonderful if we were the ones who ended up in first but with 3 losses (only 3 losses) we are not in contention for that spot. But that is ok, knocking them out of 1st is almost as good!! 8pm on Wednesday at Andrew Bailey is any of you are close by!! After that we head into a weekend of tournament games followed by a couple more weekends of tournament ball. Ahh Gotta love summer!!

SUMMER TIME!!!!

Ahhh schools out for the summer!! The kids are relieved they are getting a much needed break. I think I am just as, if not more excited than they are for them to be done. I am still having a few issues with the thought of having a child in high school but I guess I can't change it so I better suck it up!

I had a few minutes so I figured I would update again. When I don't update often enough I get an email from someone (Papa) telling me to update and add pictures. Conner is at the orthodontist getting brackets and wires changed so I thought I would update while waiting for his call.

I thought that with summer break arriving we would have some downtime and get to relax a little. HA HA was I wrong!! The boys came home from their dads house Sunday evening and we have been non stop since. Monday Chris was off from work so he took both boys and one of Avery's friends to Six Flags for the day. Conner and Chris have had a season pass for a few years and this year the Easter Bunny left one in Avery's basket also. They had a great day! Avery rode a roller coaster that he had never ridden before so that is always a plus. Avery is my cautious one (if you can believe that). He is not a big one for rides, especially if they loop. There is one roller coaster that he loves (that has 2 loops) but other coasters not so much. He really does anything he can to avoid riding them. I am still trying to figure out his roller coaster logic. Anyway, they had a great time. They said the lines were long and it was HOT but it is still always a great time at 6 flags. While they were gone Kennedi and I did the weekly grocery shopping and house cleaning and just hung out. Then we ended up losing a child for the night (to a friends house) and gaining another child.

Tuesday was another crazy day! Conner went to a friends house for the day and then Avery spent most of the day between his friends house and the pool. The kids really enjoy the pool, well one of the pools that is. We have the neighborhood pool but it is not deep and the boys do not really have a good time at it so we also go to the golf club. This is where the boys do most of their hanging out during the day. It is usually very crowded (too crowded for me) but they have a lot of fun. Thankfully they are both now old enough to be up there by themselves. I think that will make my day a lot easier since Kennedi will not want to be up there all day, everyday.

Speaking of Kennedi, Chris and I took her to the neighborhood pool last weekend. She LOVED the water!! I have a little fish on my hands and I am just wondering what she is going to be like at the beach in July. No summer reading for me this year (or for the next few years). Here are a few pictures from the pool this past weekend.











Well I guess that sums up the first half of the week. I forgot to add about baseball practice in the mix of things and then the week ends with late games on Thursday and Friday and then a morning game on Saturday. Whew!! The season ends next week (unfortunately Conner will be with his dad and will miss those games) but then we finish the month with 3 weekends in a row of tournaments. Cross your fingers for me that we do not have to push off our beach plans because of baseball continuing (although it would mean we were advancing so I guess it would not be all bad).
