3rd T-Ball Practice...the most comical of all!

So yesterday was our 3rd tee ball practice and was it more comical than the rest! The coaches thought it would be a good idea to put the kids in the field where they would be positioned and hit balls to them to stop and practice throwing home and to first...after a bit of that they let each kid come up one by one and bat and run bases...this is where it got real funny...Since Craig is a big ball player he has been working with Collyn and she has done well...we have really been concentrating on the batting part. On her second time at bat her dad told her to hit it towards third and she did...but then ran to third base...i died and he about fell to the ground...of course Collyn wears her feelings on her shoulder and kinda got a little embarassed but she was fine...then once she got on second Craig was working 3rd base and told her to run to him when the ball was hit...much to our surprise when the ball was hit to second base Collyn decides to reach down and stop it with her hands when she is supposed to be running...once again I got a big tickle out of that! I think after a couple more practices like that they will begin to get the hang of it more and become more agressive!...Lets hope at least!

We also had Matti Grace at practice with us...this is Charli Ann's little girl and whom Collyn adores...Charli had something to do and i told her to bring her to me and she could hang out with us for a bit...she loved being outdoors and watching the kids play ball...Collyn kept wanting to come up and kiss and hug her...she is such a little mother hen...

Here are a few pictures I thought i would share...games start next week so things will start to heat up in the ball world! Have a great weekend...

Tee Ball 2nd Practice

Collyn loves running the bases...and she does not run like a girl...suprisingly

She looks so serious....

Ok so i am catching up from last weeks second teeball practice...I am trying to take pictures at every practice and game so that hopefully I can put it all together on a slide show for our end of the year party...watching these kids is so much fun and hilarious! We have our next scheduled practice tomorrow ...Thursday, April 23 at 530...until next time...ENJOY!

Tee Ball 2009...Rockies First Practice

Maggie Rose...AKA Dangerous DIVA

My little Baller...

Coach D working on getting ready

Chandler and Collyn

Collyn started her first year of tee ball at the Boys and Girls Club this year...she is loving it so far. We have only been able to have 2 practices due to rain but hopefully we will get in a few more before the season officially starts on May4...Our team is the Rockies and it is coached by Ladd Garey and Darin McCollum...with a little help from a few others. It is so funny to see these 4 and 5 year olds playing ball. Some of them actually have potential. Collyn is on a team with her cousin Maggie and cousin Chandler. Also a few kids from daycare and a couple of kids we know from town...it is hilarious so there will be lots of teeball updates...

Easter 2009

It looks like she is posing...but she is really stretching

Mommy's sweet baby girl!

So this was my first Easter without Collyn waking up to the Easter Bunny at my house...very depressing but I understand Daddy gets his time too...she called me bright and early to tell me about all the "JUNK" the Easter Bunny had left. The baby was more excited that he had left a waterbottle for Teeball in there more than anything...if she would only continue to think that way through life I think I would be ok...unfortunately she is a very high maintenance little thing...she looks just like her DADDY...but ACTS just like her MOMMY...and I will take full credit!!!

Collyn and Maggie...front page of the Evening Times

The weekend before Easter we did the famous Evening Times Easter Egg Hunt...more like the great candy toss for adults...it is an annual event that is held at the park behind the Boys and Girls Club. Maggie who is my aunt Terri and uncle Darin's daughter and 4 months younger than Collyn was there as well...you will notice she will be with us a lot...they are best friends and Terri and I hope they stay that way. We try to tell them they may only one day have each other. To our suprise the two little cuties made the front page of the Evening Times the following monday...these two never seize to amaze their mothers...

Just getting started...

OK...so i am new to all this blogging stuff...but I thought this is no better way to share our events and happenings with everyone both near and far...

Keep in mind I do have a very active 4 year old little girl so i really dont have much time to do all this but we will see how it goes...I cant believe that it has been almost 5 years since GOD gave me this wonderful and most beautiful baby girl in the whole wide world. Her daddy and I are very proud parents. Reece "Collyn" was born on July 6, 2004 (my birthday) at 2:55am...what an exciting 4th of July holiday weekend that was. Now almost 5 years later...she is active in so much...we do gymnastics (2). dancing (2), and we are in our first season of tee ball...Craig and i just registered our little angel for Kindergarten and she is officially attending Richland Elementary in August...time flies. She keeps us both very busy.

I hope you all enjoy the updates as I will try to do them as much as possible...our lives are very active right now so I should have lots to share. ENJOY!
