Eden's ears!

Alllllll Eden wanted for her birthday was to get her ears pierced. It was a little earlier than I had imagined, but that's what she wanted and honestly I didn't really care that much! So on her birthday off we went to get them done. She didn't even know to be nervous, which was great. She did cry a little right when they did it, but recovered quickly. She LOVES them! Some friends came to watch....it was fun!

Once she got in the chair she was a little curious as to what was about to happen...



Holding her still...

OUCHIE! :(

About 2 minutes later. It's done and she's all happy!


The spectators!


And afterward it was off to the cupcake shop for a birthday cupcake! Happy Birthday you gorgeous thing!

World Series Champs

This summer has seemed like a dream. You would think that after all this crazy baseball that we would be so relieved that its over! Not the case at all. It was so fun.....so, so, so fun. The boys did incredibly well and brought home the title. For 8U baseball, this is the farthest you can go. There is no "little league world series on TV" for 8 year olds....this is it. They beat so many great teams to get the win and I could not be more proud of them. It is very bittersweet that it is over!



GO PROSPER!!!


After the World Series was over, several of our friends from the team were going to Florida for a vacay....and so were we! We stayed with Ty and Laura and had so much fun!



After those few days, we headed over to stay with my parents and Mikes parent for a few days. Some of our other friends were staying out in Grayton Beach so we got to see them too. Fun, fun!!





Prosper Crew!

**thanks for the awesome pics Ashley!

Now? Back to reality and more importantly BACK TO SCHOOL! Cant wait!

Happy Birthday Eden!

Hard to believe it's been 3 years. It seems like yesterday that I wrote this. Or this. Or this. I just love her so much...she brings me so much joy!



Here are some pictures from her gymnastics party on Sunday. Considering this was thrown together in a DAY (not kidding...invites and all), it was a total success...she loved it!


I'm "3"!










Happy Birthday baby! We love you SO MUCH!!

Our 8 year old State champ!!

Well, tomorrow at exactly 8:08 pm, Jacob turns 8. WOW, all the 8's. My favorite number...must be his year to shine. ;)

Anywho...our Prosper U8 All stars clenched the State title on Thursday night. We spent a week in Center, Texas and walked away with a State Championship. To think of all the teams that those boys had to beat to get there is amazing. Every team there obviously had to win their district. (There were 12 teams I think? And they each had to beat about that many to get there? Do the math...)

For the championship game we had to beat the same team twice. We had a loss under our belt (not to make excuses, but our team had the stomach bug all week...yes, you read that right...at least half the team!)...and the team we were playing had not lost yet. Since it was a double elimination tournament, we had to beat them twice the night of the championship to win it. And that we did.

The boys played great, Jacob was a monster at the bat and caught every ball hit to him, and it was an all around AWESOME night. The nerves, emotion and excitement of it all were almost too much to handle. When they introduced the players? I cried. When the national anthem played? Yep, cried then too. When the last out was made in the final game? You guessed it, I also cried then. It was amazing! Saturday the World Series starts. Our first 3 games are Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi. I will keep everyone updated through Facebook. CRAZY!

Go PROSPER! (remember you can click picture to make bigger..)


And here's for my favorite 8 year old. You are so amazingly talented and I couldnt love you more or be more proud. You are so friggin cute, amazingly smart and so althletic. You work hard at everything you do and it shows. I love you Jake D!

GO EAGLES!

State tournament week is here! We have one win under our belt....4 more to go till we are state champs. *fingers crossed* Go Prosper!

Girls Weekend!

Girls weekend is one of my favorite weekends of the year. It is not only fun but refreshing. I laugh so hard that it is just a huge release for me. SO NEEDED! A bunch of girls (and a few guys too) from high school...getting together for nothing but fun. Honestly cant beat it. Only bad part? I suffer mild depression when I get home. :( Booo.









*One more picture...I took this from the airplane as I was leaving. I had my face pressed up against the window with tears in my eyes. Hate leaving this gorgeous place. :( Salt life is the life for me! :(

The gorgeous Destin pass.


**Thanks to Stacie, Laura and Heather for the pics. In typical me fashion, I didn't bring my camera!

Next stop....STATE!

GO EAGLES! (Jake D.'s best cheerleader!)

Our Prosper U8 All Star boys won the regional tournament this weekend in Little Elm. Now we are on our way to the STATE championships in a few weeks. GO PROSPER!

**Jacob bottom row, farthest on the right**
We celebrated the win and the break from a week of baseball (HALLELUJAH) with a trip to Hawaiian Falls today. I let Jacob have a friend spend the night (of course he chose Colin), and we met up with another mom and some boys from his team. They had a blast!

Congrats boys!

Of course Eden and Parker were up on that action
