Softball

Ava is playing softball this year for the first time.  I've only been able to go to one game so far but it was so much fun watching her play.  She has already learned so much.
The Saturday before Easter we all went to Ava's game.  It was so much fun to all be there to support her.  She scored a run, when she crossed home plate we were all cheering so loudly I think she was embarrassed (but loved it).
I love this sweet girl so much.  I love seeing her do something that she really enjoys and wants to learn and get better.

Saturday in TTown

As most of you know, Alabama football kicked off yesterday.  I was so excited.  I woke up bright and early around 5:15, I had my alarm set for 6:00 but knew there was no going back to sleep.  It was like Christmas morning.  (Some how I was still late to my parents)!  We quickly got the car packed and hit the road.  We were about 20 minutes outside of Tuscaloosa and I almost had a panic attack because I didn't get the tickets.  Thank goodness my parents had gotten them.  We enjoyed the assortment of breakfast casseroles and mimosas.  Soon enough it was time to head to the stadium.

Sister, me and baby brother.  Love these kids!
Aunt Pam and Ally.  Mom took her picture and said if you're holding Ally you've got a higher chance to make the blog.

Ava Jane and Porter. 

Season Ticket ceremony.


Walking to the stadium.  I realized about 3 blocks later that I'd forgotten our tickets so Ava and I had to walk almost all the way back to meet my mom.  Ava was not happy with me.  We missed the first 2 touchdowns but at least we made it!


I loved the ending to halftime.  The Million Dollar Band played "My home's in Alabama" and spelled Tuscaloosa.  It was really special and emotional.


Me and Ava in our seats!

Afte we saw Dad and Porter on the jumbotron Ava wanted to go sit with them.  Not long after she got down there she was on.



Tell me he's not adorable.



I love this girl.  She's one of Amy's friends and we had a blast together. (I didn't realize this dress was so unflattering. Note to self: Do not wear again until you lose 15lbs)


AMY!  love her too!  Can't wait to see yall again!
 
It was a great day!  I hate the early games but it was nice to be home at a decent time.  I'm excited for the rest of the season!  It should be a fun one!

Splash Park

Today Mom and I took Drew, Ava, Porter and Harper to the Splash Park.  It was a nice day.  Not to hot or sunny and the kids had a ball.  I got some cute pictures of the four of them.

Slumber Party

No decorations yet...they're slowly going up.  I wasn't as motivated as I'd hoped!  I'll have it all finished by next week hopefully!
Now to the slumber party.  Ava, Harper and I had a blast last night!  I picked them up then I had to take some pictures of some friends for their Christmas card so they tagged along and were so good.  When we were on our way home from Amy and Sean's, Patrick called and his parents were having trouble with their printer so I stopped by there to see if I could help.  It was taking me a little longer than I thought it would and the girls were being really shy.  Mrs. Horton offered them some candy and they acted like they'd known her for years!  It was really sweet.  We left there and finally made it to my house.  We ate hot dogs for dinner.  I think Harper only ate ketchup.  After the movie we watched Beauty and the Beast.  Which is my favorite Disney movie.  They quickly went to sleep after the movie and slept till 8:00 this morning when Ally woke them up.  We ate breakfast, took baths, got dressed and made it to church 10 minutes early.  I was pretty proud of myself!

Those are just a couple of the shots of Amy, Sean and Chloe.  I thought they turned out so cute! 


Getting ready to watch Beauty and the Beast!

I told them to make a funny face. I was the only one who listened!
We had a great time.  I love getting to be an aunt.  It was so sweet to hear them laughing this morning when Ally went in to wake them up.  I think Ally loved having them here!  It's been a great weekend!  I'm so looking forward to this week.  We have lots going on!  I have a feeling it's only the beginning of a very busy holiday season!

Just Livin Life...

This weekend was very low key.  I didn't do anything really blog worthy.  I had a huge to do list of rooms I needed to clean and organize.  I didn't get any of them done really.  I did get all our photos from our trip printed and put into an album.  I was pretty excited about that.  I also printed a few more photos for some empty frames we've had laying around the house since...oh I don't know...OUR WEDDING!  Almost 2 years ago.  ( I can't believe it's almost our 2nd anniversary.  Wow time flies!)  So I did do some productive things but not nearly enough.  I've still got a ton of cleaning to do!  I hate to clean and my house reflects that!  I would really like to get some things put on the walls in our house.  We have about 5 things hanging on the walls.  I would like to change that.  We have tons of things sitting on the floor by the wall we think they should go on.  We just have to get them up!
Sunday I went to church.  We took my sweet nephew Porter.  We were sitting in church and my mom tryed to get him to blow his nose.  He was having none of it.  He finally took the tissue and stuck it up to my face and said "blow".  It was so funny.  I couldn't stop laughing.  Then he said "stop laughing...and Blow!"  I tried as best as I could to "blow" my nose on the tissue.  He then took the tissue and put it in his pocket.  It was the sweetest and cutest thing.  We have been laughing about it all day. 
Some sad things have happened.  A boy my little brother graduated from high school with and played football with passed away today.  He was in an accident about a month ago around a campfire.  From what I understand the gas can he was holding blew up and he basicly caught on fire.  He's been in the hospital for weeks.  His parents had to take him off life support.  I can't imagine having to take you child off life support.  I have had a heavy heart all day long for this young boy and his family and friends.  So if you have a moment say a prayer for this family. 
On a random note...it seems like everyone around me either has a child, is expecting a child, or trying to have a child.  It makes me want one but I know we are not ready.  I'm lucky enough to have neices and nephews to hug on when theres a hint of baby fever.   Patrick and I are so enjoying being married and we don't get enough time to spend together as it is.  Our work schedules don't allow us to really socialize with our couple friends so it's hard.  We'll know when we're ready and God's timing is always perfect!
Wow I've written way to much to not have anything to say.
Today when I got home from work I had a sweet surprise. Drew, Ava, and Porter were here playing in the back yard.  They were having a blast.  It was so good to get to play with them.  Porter stepped in dog poop them tracked in all over my carpet but he's just so dang cute you can't be mad at him.   I snapped a few pictures of them.  I just realized it's been a while since I've shot them.  They are my favorite subjects.


Sorry for the long ramblings...hope I didn't bore you to tears.  Check back later I'm sure I'll have a few words about the Bachelor Finale especially if it goes the way I think it's going to go!

Happy Birthday Ava Jane!

Today is my sweet neice (and God-daughter) Ava's 6th birthday!

 I can't believe you are already 6 years old.  I remember the day you were born.  You were such a beautuiful baby with a head full of dark hair.  Today 6 years later you are growing into a beautiful little girl.  I can't wait to see what is in store for you in the next year.  You are such a loving and caring little girl.  You love your brothers and you sister so much.  You also love your Nana and you get very jealous when she holds the other babies.  
Her parents are taking her to IJump to play this morning and then we are all meeting up for cake and ice cream this afternoon.  I'm sure I'll have some photos to share later. 

Happy Birthday! I love you!

Weekend fun...

Warning... Lots of photos!!!
We had a busy weekend.  Friday night I let my nephew and neice spend the night with me. 
We watched a movie and drank hot chocolate. 

We played The Sims on Elizabeth's computer and told ghost stories unter the blanket!


We played outside on the swingset




We ate pototoe soup!

Ally and Daddy napped on the couch!

Then Saturday night Patrick and I went a wedding.  It was one of my good friends from high school.  The wedding was beautiful the bride was beautiful.  The only problem was I didn't watch one down of football Saturday night.  We got to the reception and the bartender was told not to turn the TV's on until after they had cut the cake.  By the tiem they turned them on it was halftime in both games.  The men got to watch most of the second half but my and my sister decided to hit the dance floor.



Mr. Jones, me and my sister.

Oh what a weekend

This weekend was so busy but so worth it!  Saturday I went trick-or-treating with my nieces and nephews.  They were so cute!
