orientation....

today was audrey's kindergarten orientation at her new school.....she was able to go into a kindergarten classroom, meet a teacher and play with other future students.....at the end the kids all had sugar-free popsicles.....the parents got a quick run-down on all we need to do this summer, whew....still a bit overwhelmed....i have a feeling this summer is going to fly by and i will soon be posting about her first day....CRAZY!!

we stopped by brett's class first to pick him up on our way to orientation.....it is going to be so nice having them close together :)

game time...

friday afternoon we headed down to wetumpka and montgomery for a fun filled weekend with my family! audrey's softball games have been every saturday for the last two months, which limited our travels, but we are making up for it now....we will actually be in GA the next two weekends :)

when we got in town friday we picked up grams & hit the ball park and it felt like we didn't leave till late saturday afternoon! but it was soooo worth it :) we managed to get in two of isabella's softball games and one of payton's baseball games....and we even got to see payton pitch ~ how exciting!!

after the games audrey spent the night with her bella and pay-pay....brett and i met michael & paige for dinner which was great and grams got some grant time! as usual we had a wonderful, busy weekend....which ended with a great mother's day :)

isabella's games were so much fun! she is an AWESOME ball player!! she runs so dang fast, it is unbelievable :) and her hitting....amazing!









payton had a great game as well! he is a AMAZING ballplayer! it is hard for me watching him out there pitching when i still remember his first t-ball games :) he did awesome and made his lefty uncle proud!











ballpark fun....

marvelous mom day...

i had a great mother's day today! we started off the day at church with grams & my sister and her family....we've always loved my sister's church, so it was nice to be able to visit again...afterwards we headed to lisa's house for lunch, good times and a quick dip in the pool! the men braved the cold and jumped in with the kiddos.....grant chose napping over swimming, can't say i blame him :)

as i was sorting through all the pics from this fun-filled weekend - all 486 of them! - i realized how very, very blessed i am....truly, truly blessed :)
