First Softball Game!

Kate had her first softball game last night - I was so nervous and prayed she had a good game - we have been working hard with her on hitting for the past couple of weeks - Kate ended up hitting both times at bat with really good hits - I was so excited but not as excited as Kate was! She had 2 RBI's and scored both times - the first time she scored - she jumped up and down on home plate - it was sooo cute - we were so happy and relieved she did so well! Here are 2 videos of Kate hitting the ball - I was too excited to capture the hits in the entirety but i couldn't help it! We are looking forward to the season

I GOT A FLIP!

We had a busy last week and weekend. The kids are busy in all their activities. Jake had his final little dribblers game this weekend - what a good way to end your little dribblers career with winning the Championship National All-star Game!

I was so excited to get a flip last Sunday and couldn't wait to use it - which I did all week at all of our games - this morning Zach and I played with the different video clips and made a short video of Jake's baseball, Zach's baseball, Kate's soccer, and Jake's basketball - i forgot Kate's opening day for Softball - so I will upload a video of her practicing with Chad in the garage - she had been a Granny's earlier and had put makeup on and dressed up like a dog so that is why she has black all of her face which she is determined to keep the eye makeup on for school tomorrow!

In the video - Jake is sliding into home, zach is batting, kate plays goalie and punts the boal, the last clip is the beginning of Jake's championship basketball game

here is kate practicing:

Happy Easter!

We have been so busy! Baseball has started and basketball is still going along with everything else. Jake is involved in everything right now - school track, basketball all stars, 2 basketball select teams, league baseball, and select baseball. He is busy every night with a practice or a game or a track meet - i don't know how he has the energy to do it all. Zach is only doing league baseball right now - he decided to give soccer up this spring and only focus on baseball - he has really excelled at baseball and is doing really great - his first game is this coming up saturday and we are excited to see his team - Chad and Todd are coaching the team so it will be a fun season. Kate is doing dance, soccer and softball - this is her first year for softball - i hope it won't be her last-her first softball game isn't for a couple of weeks- we all can't wait to see this. As you can see, with all the kids are involved in, we are so busy!!! Every night we have something and if there is a free night, we are in amazement and don't know what to do with ourselves.

Today was not only Easter but also both of our Dad's birthdays - last night we went to my parent's house for a birthday dinner with my dad - Jennifer, Cody and Reed were in for the weekend so it was also to spend time with them. We had a good time visiting with everyone and wished that Chris would've been there too. He just accepted a job in Corpus Christi and moved there last week. Reed is sooo cute. He is a great baby - a noise is hardly heard from him - he just smiles and is so sweet. Today we had Easter lunch with Chad's dad and family for his dad's birthday. We all had a good time and of course good food. We are thankful to have such good families and be able to spend time with them too. I wouldn't know what to do if we didn't get to see them like we do. Both of our families are so supportive, loving, and a big part of our lives - we are lucky.

I am hoping to post some videos soon of the kids playing all of their sports - have to get that flip first!
