Mommy Time!

We have been obsessed with photobooths lately! I'm really glad this photobooth had video too, because we're too bright to see well in the pictures. This was a booth outside, and we must not have closed the curtain enough. Now I know if we use this outdoor one again, to double check the curtain. I love the video so much! 


Me and my babies!


This was from another date when I was out with just my big girls!

Daddy Time!






Every so often we try to take the kids out individually, or two at a time so they get more one-on-one time. 

Here are my boys on a boys night out!


The End of Softball Season

We had a blast with this softball season and our Pink Lightning team!!! It was sad to see it end. 

Cooper and Olivia found ways to entertain themselves during games . . .

























You should have seen the girls faces light up when they saw that they were each getting a medal! They were so happy and proud!







We went out to eat and celebrated with ice cream cones after the final game.









Practicing in the batting cages . . .



Warming up . . .



Poor little Gracie had been sick the week before the last game, so she missed two games in a row. She'd been hitting without the tee for quite awhile, but I think missing the whole week before got to her, and she had to use it at the last game. I could tell she was bummed about it, but at least she still hit it hard off the tee!

I liked this first video because you can hear Livi saying "Go Gracie, Go Gracie!"



Little Lindsey was getting in some good hits to finish out the season!!!









It was such a fun season! We're going to miss it!

Cole's First Birthday!!!

Cole turned one back in September and the kids were a little bummed that we weren't going to have a party and celebrate just like their birthdays. I did let them each pick a new toy for him at the store though. They were so excited to give him their gifts! I took video of them giving the toys to him and he was all wiggles and tail-wagging! Of course it wouldn't load on the blog though. I need to be better about cutting video off before it goes over the limit.

Look how little he was when we first got him!!!


I found a picture of each of the kids with him.






Even though he has destroyed everything in the backyard, and I'm getting tired of pulling ticks off of him and buying dog food and scooping poop, I love seeing the kids with him. They love him so much and when we have other kids over who are terrified of him like mine were at first, it makes me glad we got him, so that they aren't that way around pets anymore. Every kid needs a dog!!!

We love you Cole boy!!!
