Gooooooo Orioles!

Opening Day for Lamar Little League was a huge success! We had a great time starting at 8am Saturday morning for the parade. It was like a REAL parade with firetrucks and floats and the boys rode in a very decorated truck and threw out candy. SUPER CUTE! Ryan didn't know what was going on with all the sirens, noise and candy being thrown at him but it was pretty neat. Following the parade the boys took their tee ball pictures and team photos and then played at the ball field for a while on the playground and moonwalk. Then they had their first game where I am happy to report they both did awesome! I am such a proud momma. All those years of cheerleading really got me ready to cheer on my boys. Their team got 9 outs and many great hits. We crushed the other team (yes I know it is tee ball but it is true). Ryan loved watching his brothers play too. He kept pointing saying "bubba". This is one of many new words in his vocab. Well, I can't wait for the next game to see Jayson and Justin in action again! I love being a baseball mom!
Enjoy all the photos from this day...

Oh Happy Day!

Today is already an exiting day for me. I have been doing the Weight Watchers program since January and have steadily been losing weight. As of today I have lost a total of 15.5 lbs!!!! I couldn't be more excited to see the number on the scale this morning. I have about 9 more lbs to lose to reach my weight watcher goal but my personal goal is 5lbs on top of that for a total of 14lbs to go. I should just go in and adjust my weight watcher goal but it is more fun to be so close. I am so happy with the results and can't wait until I can say I have reached my personal goal weight! Summer...here I come!

Trip to Louisiana and Tee ball prac

We loaded up and took a trip to Houma, Louisiana last weekend unfortunately because Scott's Uncle John passed away. We have been trying to get to LA to visit family for a while now but with 3 little boys and Scott's crazy work schedule it has been almost 10 years since we have been there. The boys did very well in the car for 6 hours and loved the hotel we stayed at. Aside from the sad reason we took the trip, it was wonderful to see Scott's family on both sides. I didn't get any photos with his mom's side of the family because we were so busy, but we had a great time with all of them as well. The pictures below are not in order very well but I'm too lazy to redo it all.

Here are some pictures from when we crossed back into Texas from Louisiana on the way home. Gooooooo Texas!!!

The kids found something to climb on...

This gigantic Texas star! It was pretty cool. I wish the weather was nicer so the picture turned out better. If you look close you can see them on it in this picture.

Here was a long bridge that the boys loved running around on.

Checking things out with daddy.
Here is Scott's dad's side of the family. This is us with Maw Sue and Aunt June.
Here is Scott's precious grandma, Maw Sue. She is too cute for words and I really enjoyed our visit with her.
The boys decided to put on a "show" for Maw Sue. I haven't laughed as hard as I did that moment in a long time. My face actually hurt from all the smiling.

More singing and dancing... This went on for a good half hour.
The first night we arrived after being in the car for hours I found a mall nearby and took the kids to play. I never put a coin in any of these machines and they had tons of fun playing on them. Woohoo for my cheapness!

Justin and Ryan...

Jayson in the rocket...whoosh!

Look at my hot husband all dressed up to go to the service. He is so handsome! He is never all dressed up so I snapped several pictures of him.

Then Ryan decided to get in on the picture action. He went by his daddy and started smiling and being cute. This was before he took a nasty fall in the hotel room and got a rug burn on his head. You will notice his forehead in the previous pics.

Tee ball is in full swing. The boys are enjoying every minute and are starting to improve. Here is a coach working with Jayson.

Coach working with Justin...

Practicing on the mound...

Ryan didn't stay in his stroller for long. He loves being at the baseball fields and wishes he could play ball with the team. He keeps running out onto the field.

The boys field just before practice was over so it was getting dark

It has been a super busy week after the road trip and practice so I am really looking forward to this weekend. We have practice both Saturday and Sunday. I can't believe it will be March next week. Where has the time gone??? There are many fun things coming up in March so stay tuned.
