Easter

We had a good Easter Sunday. It was a beautiful day! This is not a good picture of me at all but it's the only one I have of me and the boys in our Easter clothes. I love Chandler's new suit! It's linen.

Sunday evening we all got together at my parent's house for dinner and an Easter egg hunt. The kids always have a great time when we all get together. We TRIED to get a picture of all 8 grandkids but it wasn't easy. We didn't have them in a good spot b/c of the sun and of course they wouldn't all look at the same time.

My sweet John Evan showing me his eggs with one of his CRAZY faces!

Baseball Season

I love, love, love baseball season! I love to be at the ballpark and watch my boys play ball! My life just seems incomplete during the months of Nov-Feb. We officially started Saturday. Richard is coaching Hudson's team and they are the Threshers (the park went with minor league team names this year). They played at 9am and won! They played way better than Richard ever thought they would! The first practices were bad! Hudson had already played his game when I took this picture and he wasn't too happy that I asked to take it before he went outside to play. The stains on the knees of his pants, weren't from the game but from when he fell down going to the bathroom :) Chandler is on the Storm. He was supposed to play at 6pm but the games were behind so he didn't start until 7. They won also! Chandler has come so close so many times to hitting one over and he did that again Sat night. Always hitting the top of the fence, or landing just in front of it. It would have been a grand slam, too. I just think it's not meant to be but, maybe one day he'll get one.
Friday night we went to the Alabama baseball game. It was a little cool but we had a good time. We hope to be able to go to a few more. Thanks Amy for the tickets!

10th caller

Last Tuesday, I had just picked Hudson up from school and was on my way to pick Chan up from a friend's when I heard on the radio, be the 10th caller now at this number to win. I thought, what the heck? So I dialed and it rang and rang, finally someone answered and said B-1017, try again. So, I did and it rang again immediately. Usually when you call a radio station trying to win something, you get a busy signal. After several rings, the voice on the other line said, B-1017, who is this? I knew that I was the 10th caller at that point and was scared that he was going to ask me some crazy trivia question and that I was going to sound like an idiot. But, he didn't. I won just for being the 10th caller! I won 2 movie passes and a decorated cake from TCBY! Sweet! Now if I could only win when they are giving away money!

Busy, Busy, Busy

Our last few weekends have been busy, busy, busy. And, they are going to stay that way for a while! A couple of weeks ago, we kept my sister Elizabeth's kids, Shelby and Kaitlyn for a few hours one Sat evening. I didn't even get a picture of Shelby but she and Hudson had a good time playing together. I enjoyed painting Shelby's fingernails and washing and brushing her gorgeous, long, blond, curls. Kaitlyn was not feeling very well but she was still pretty good. Richard got her to sleep and just held her for the longest time. We've forgotten what it's like to have one that little around.
The next Friday night, we invited Sydney to spend the night. When I went to pick her up, I talked Caroline into letting me take John Evan, too. They were both really good. John Evan just followed Syndey and Hudson around. He did let me love on him some. I did find out that he is a really light sleeper and you don't want to wake him up cause he won't go back to sleep. He never cried or anything, just banged his head up and down on the pack n' play. He's a funny little man.Chandler was at a friend's house so Hud and Syd were going to sleep in his room but that ended up not working out. They watched a movie and then Sydney came and told me that she wanted to sleep in Hudson's room and he was going to to sleep in Chan's. I think they are just both really used to sleeping alone and it just works better that way.

Chandler's basketball team came in 3rd for the season. They played a team Friday night that had beat them the other time we played them. They had 13-14 year olds on their team and it's suppose to be a 12&under league. Our boys played so good and almost beat them. It was very exciting and we were so proud of them. We played Sat morning at 9 for 3rd and the team we were suppose to play, didn't show up so the boys played around a little and then we all went to Cracker Barrel to celebrate.

After the basketball celebration, it was off to Academy to buy cleats for both the boys and then straight to Chandler's baseball practice. From there, it was off to Hudson's baseball practice. So, here we go with baseball season! Yea!
