DFW World Series

DALLAS WORLD SERIES!!!!!

These boys battled through 9 Games and we couldn't be more proud of them and our #27! They lost in the quarter finals on the last day after winning 4 straight games the day prior in 100+ degree heat.  The highlights for Chase were watching Zak pitch to him in the homer Derby (he hit 2 homeruns out of 12 pitches), watching him pitch (getting us out of one game in the last inning), seeing him hit an over the fence homerun, and the phenomenal catch in right field.  These boys came up 4th out of 18 teams, which is a great feat after a hard hard Fall and a slow Spring.  

We had THE BEST week hanging with our Baseball Family and celebrating Colts 16th birthday! 

Sweet 16

Today my baby turns 16! SIXTEEN!!!!!How is that even possible!?!? He is one of my greatest joys and makes us so incredibly proud. He spent his birthday week in Dallas watching a lot of baseball but was able to get away from the game for a bit. While Chase and I went to his game, Colt and Zak went fishing and rented Kayaks, had lunch at Whataburger and met back up with us to hang out. Later that afternoon, we hit up Dave and Busters with a couple baseball buddies from the team and got Freebirds for dinner.

Next up, his license!

(Dear God, please let this time slow down.)

Happy #70 Gaga (all together edition)

Happy birthdayGaga!  Celebrating #70 with ALL the kids.  We had a fun Pot Luck dinner where everyone had to bring a dish and prep it at Gagas.  NO details shared.  Turned out great!

#13 and #16 Family Celebration!!!!

Happy #13 and #16 to my best boys!!!!!

Celebrating with family and best friends with a BIG surprise for Colt!

He was so caught off guard and overwhelmed with the amount of people watching him he wasn't able to get too excited (til a few days later when we got a fun moment in the car exploring everything in it).
