Fall Ball 2020

 Tyler had a great time playing Fall Baseball.  He was the main catcher on his team and got to play for the majority of each game.  He was also one of the top hitters on his team.  Because of Covid we didn't take the other kids to the games with us, so it was pretty nice to be able to focus on the game.  We really do love watching him play and it is fun to see him improve.

Park & Chili Fun

We went to the park to play pickle ball and let the girls play on the playground.  After the park we went to see Tony at work at Murray to see how they make Chili.  It was fun to see how they make the soup and to spend time with Tony.  

Natural History Museum

Tony's dad got tickets to the museum and invited our family to go with him and Margie.  I wasn't feeling very good that day so I stayed home while Tony took the kids with his parents.  They all had a great time and enjoyed the museum.

Josh's 11th Birthday

Josh turned 11 yesterday.  He got to take treats to school and they sang Happy Birthday to him.  Then after school he wanted Crock Pot Chicken for dinner.  I even offered going to Texas Roadhouse, but he preferred the chicken.  That makes a mama happy that he likes my cooking.

After dinner and computer time we made some snow cones for his birthday dessert.  All the kids are really enjoying our new Snow Cone machine.  Then we had a couple more presents for Josh to open and then called it a night.  He was a little bummed that I didn't let him stay up later now that he's 11, but such is life.  Besides that I think that he had a pretty good birthday. We love Josh so much.  He is such a sweetheart and truly does give the best hugs.  He is so good at helping out and always asks me what else he can do for me.  He is a great kid and we are lucky he is in our family!

 

Josh & Allie's Family Birthday Party

 

Crazy & Fun Times

 

We bought the girls matching dresses and they wore them on Sunday.  I bought the dresses a little big, but they still both looked so cute in them.  My baby girls looked way too grown up.  Theses kids are all growing up way too fast.

Last Tuesday we had a crazy windy storm that blew down lots of trees and a lot of people lost power for multiple days.  We only lost one section of our facia on our house, so that was good.  My parents lost a really big part of their tree in their back yard.  I went over to pick the ripe tomatoes for bottling the next day and took a picture with their crazy tree.  The wind was pretty wild.  They said it was like hurricane strength winds.  Just one more crazy event to add to our crazy year of 2020!

Puppy Love

 

My parents and Julie both got new puppies within a few days of each other.  My mom got a Jack Russel Terrier and named him Eddie.  He is so little and snuggly and super fun to watch jump around and play with Bella.  

Julie's dog is Charlie.  He is Bingo's son.  He is half Golden and half golden Lab.  He is so cute.  We have only gone over their once so far to see him and he was so cute.  He played with Bingo and then rested a lot.  I got to snuggle him while he slept and that was the best.  He is so cute and soft.  We love that puppy too.  It is so fun to see the boys playing with these puppies and being so good with animals.

Allie's 6th Birthday

Our sweet baby girl turned 6.  She loved taking treats to school and being the special birthday girl the day before her birthday.  They didn't have school on her birthday so she celebrated the day before.  On her birthday she got McDonald's for lunch.  She got to open up some presents and loved all the extra attention.  She is a sweet little girl.  She loves all things girly.  She is smart and funny and still loves sneaking into our bed some nights.  She is adored by everyone in the family and we love that she's ours!
