And I Can't Forget.....

Jess got in on the action, too! Very funny!!

What A Day!!!

What a day we had today! First of all, I got to enjoy a double header in a relaxing state due to the fact that Camden and Palmer stayed home with a babysitter. That's the first time I've ever NOT taken them to a game, and as much as I hate the fact the whole family wasn't there, I enjoyed not chasing kiddos all day! The second thing I feel worth mentioning is that with the first win today, Tim became the all-time wins leader at Florida for softball. It was pretty cool when they announced that at the game...Tim even gave a little wave to the crowd! And for the finale........I got to meet, and Brooks got his picture with, drum roll please...................











Can you even believe it?!













TIM TEBOW!!!!! He was so sweet and was very kind. He shook my hand, and shook both boys' hands. (The other boy was Brooks' buddy, Trevor.) The two boys were speechless! I wasn't, but I did have butterflies while talking to him! I'm sure the boys will remember this forever! (I know I will!) What an experience, and what a day!!!!!!!

Bloggin' Time

Here are some pics from last weekends baseball tournament. We've had beautiful weather, and the kids got to swim, or rather play water polo, after the games of that day. The biggest news from last weekend is that Brooks got to start a game as pitcher for the first time ever! He did well, striking out 6 in 3 innings and giving up only 2 earned runs. We are proud! Happy Friday, everyone!

Skate Station!

Aunt Jess is in town, so that means FUN TIMES ARE AMONG US!!! (Candace, did you like that? :-)) Every 4-6 weeks, the school has a fundraiser at the local skating rink. The kids love to go skate and see their friends & teachers. The problem I run into is having Palmer there. He won't skate, so he gets bored, and then picks fights with other kids....it gets to be a bit much. But since Jess was here, she got to take them, and they all had a blast! They wore red so they could get a free red snocone. Notice my son's outfit...he really thinks that's the way to go when it's chilly here in Florida. Long sleeves and long socks and ALWAYS SHORTS! I'm glad they got to spend some time with Aunt Jess!



Jess fixed Camden's hair...she LOVED the braid!

Peej

So I had a request to blog, and this post is dedicated to her, my very pregnant friend from Wichita! These are some pics I took at the softball game the other day. Palmer J, whom we also call PJ, or Peej for short, wanted to hang out with Alberta, the mascot. Then, for some strange reason, he sat still for a whole inning. It was fun. We giggled and took pics and watched the Gators score!! Good times! Hope everyone is well!

Valentine's Day Outfit

Sometimes, when you have two boys who would rather wear dri-fit shorts and shirts EVERY SINGLE DAY, you forget about ever dolling up your kids. But I made sure to make Camden feel special this Valentine's Day. She was so excited when we got this outfit, and she told me she couldn't wait to wear it so she "could be the prettiest girl in school!" I'll have to admit, I was excited, too! I got her a cute pair of pink Converse All-Stars to go with the outfit, but they were too big. And note the cute Valentine colored bow in her hair-----I ordered it from Leia! Thanks...she loves the bow, too! Happy Early Valentine's Day, everyone!!!

My Budding Artist

I never thought this would ever happen, so it makes me so proud to share that Brooks' artwork is currently being displayed at the Florida Natural History Museum. He was excited to come home and tell me that his teacher had chosen his work, and I was excited to go and check it out! The assignment was to paint a picture of the everglades. He described his work as inspired by "Whoville" from the Grinch Who Stole Christmas. I think he was right on! I'm sure you will be proud, Mrs. Whiteley!
