LOVE IT!

I could watch this over and over and over again! They were amazing! Now...which one is going to win? Not that it matters b/c they will both be recording soon!

He's a Pitcher...

This year, Tyler's coach asked him to be one of the pitchers. He was pretty excited even though he has never pitched before. Yesterday his team scrimmaged with another team and he was the first pitcher.





I'm not sure if this is a mom thing, but I was so nervous for him. Paul thought I was weird but come on...his first time pitchingfor a "pretend" game, in front of a bunch of strangers, that is nerve wrecking. Of course, I have no idea if Ty was nervous. I guess I was nervous for the both of us.
There is also the factor of being in direct line with the batter...he could get hit!! (which one of the moms on the team reminded me of...thanks other mom...like I need another reason to worry!) He did pretty well. A few of the dads told me he looked good. YEAH!
At one point in the game I looked away from Tyler's mad pitching skills and I hear Paul say..."OH! He got hit in the face!" (he said this calmly b/c that is just how Paul is). I stayed calm on the outside but inside I felt like hopping the fence and running to help! (I know...I know) Luckily the ball hit the ground first then bounced up and hit him in the nose. So, he managed to walk away with just a bad bloody nose. (which he gets all the time)
Tomorrow is their first REAL game and Tyler is the teams first pitcher. I will be going to the store today to get him some protective face gear! (Totally kidding, but I think I might get a mouth guard like a few of the other kids were wearing.)
I am really proud of him for taking the pitching position! I know he will do a great job!

Back on the Team

I am so excited! After six months of taking a break, I tried out again for a spot on the DT at The Mosy Scrapper. I am happy to say that I made it! Congrats to Pam as well...she is another new member of the team. Christa has a great site and I really like being a part of it! Thanks Christa and Julie for choosing me! It's good to be back!

8th Birthday Haircut

Last Friday was Kate's 8th Birthday! She went from this in the morning...


To this in the afternoon...


I love the haircut, but boy, did the stylist do a crappy job. I am still so mad about it. (I have a hard time getting over things!) First of all I told her I wanted it touching her shoulders...it's not. Second, who doesn't wash someones hair when they are about to cut it all off? She sprayed it a little with the water bottle but for the most part it was dry. Which means, that the ends were ALL uneven. Now, how hard can it be for someone who cuts hair for a living to go from straight long hair to straight short hair? I guess it was harder than I thought! I took her back the other day to get it fixed up and it looks much better. Not perfect, but she could only do so much without going WAY shorter. I know it will grow but in the mean time I'm looking at uneven hair! I'm glad Kate could care less and she does look really cute with this cut!

Ok, that's my rant for Friday. Hope you have a good weekend!!

I LOVE ORANGE

And I love my new camera. I wanted a camera that I could take with me when I didn't want to lug around my SLR. I LOVE THIS LITTLE THING! From the color to the quality of the pictures!

Isn't it cute?

Terrible 2's??? HA!

The other day I took the kids to Science/Math night up at school. I didn't want to go but being the wonderful mother I am, I took them. Well it ended up being nothing like last years and this, ticked my darling little daughter right off. And in turn, ticked me off. When that girl doesn't like something she does not hide it. I'm not going to go into the whole story but she did end up in a bit of trouble. Yelling, crying, taking away of favorite stuffed animals, grounded from the computer...what a night. And all because she didn't like what was at the school. As her mother, I have to teach her that it is NOT ok to be a "brat" even though things don't go your way. She's smart...she should know better. But she is also stubborn. What a mix! I think she learned a little lesson though, so I have no regrets on grounding her for 2 whole days.
And this would be the face that started our trip down hill. (A friend managed to snap a picture so I have proof!) Oh the terrible 2's have nothing on this 7 year old.



Oh that face...she is lucky I love her dearly!!

Have a good weekend!
