Golden Glove Award

Chandler had his sports banquet last night for middle school. All the sports were recognized and individual awards were given out. About 4 awards per sport. Chandler got the Golden Glove award for baseball! A pitching, hitting, and MVP were also given out. The coach said, "This kid caught 96 innings for us and is very dependable behind the plate." Congrats Chan! We are very proud of you! Chan and some of his baseball buddies

Easter

We had a great Easter weekend. My dad got home from Germany Friday night and came to Hudson's baseball game on Saturday. It was so good to see him and I know he was happy to be home. Sunday after church we all went to Caroline's for lunch and some Easter Egg hunting. Unfortunately, Evan starting getting sick while we were there so I didn't think to get any pictures at Caroline's of all the cousins. I'm sure she took some that I can steal :) I also didn't think very well about background when we took these few pictures!

P.S. I did 4 post today so be sure and check them all out!

4 months old and first foods

My sweet baby girl is 4 months old! She wouldn't really cooperate with these pictures so they aren't the greatest. I tried cereal but she wasn't really about it so I'm going to wait a little while and then try again. She is such a joy and a great addition to our family!

Air Show from Peking

The Blue Angels were in town a couple of weekends ago doing a show at the Northport Airport. Chandler went with a friend. Richard wanted to watch it but didn't really want to get in the crowd and neither did I. It was crazy. They were busing people to the airport from different places all over town. No thank you. So....we decided to just drive near the area and see where we could get to see it. We ended up in the Peking parking lot off McFarland. Some friends of ours saw us and pulled over with us and hung out and watched it. It was cool cause they have a son Chandler's age and Hudson's age and their little girl loves Evan. The older son was disappointed that Chandler wasn't with us but he enjoyed the show.

Evan telling me all about it!

Hudson and Allen. How cute is that little boy and his cheeks?

Natalie...she has the cutest little raspy voice!

This is Hudson and his "girlfriend", Anna. She had her older sister write Hudson a note one day telling him that she wanted to marry him when she gets older. Too funny! She has the most beautiful blue eyes!

Chandler the Catcher

Chandler's middle school baseball season is over. He had a great season. He's an awesome catcher and hit the ball really well. It was fun to go to his games. We went through lots of different weather conditions. Starting out the season watching games in the 40's to almost 80's then back to the 40's and windy to finish off the season. The finished like 6th in the city/county tournament which isn't great but their team should be really good next year. We had a couple of close heartbreaking losses. The upcoming 8th graders on this team are playing travel ball this spring/summer to keep playing together. Their first tournament is this weekend in Hoover. Here are a few pictures of him in action behind the plate and getting ready to bat. Chandler got accepted to the magnet school next year so that's where he'll be going. He's so excited about not being at University Place but really wishes he were at Rock Quarry. Oh well, just one more year and he'll be at Northridge! Congrats Chandler on a great season! We are proud of you and can't wait to watch more baseball!
