Dallas' 1st T-Ball Game

OK, so I am really behind in posting these pictures, please forgive me...

Dallas had his first game on May 1.  Unfortunately, Daddy was in the fields and wasn't able to make it.  Reba was running a fever all that week, so I was trying to keep her comfortable and watch the game.  Needless to say, I didn't get too many pictures.  Here are the few that I did get...

...along with a freeze pop!

Overall, the game was pretty comical to watch.  The kiddos get 3 pitches off the machine, and if they don't get a hit, then they swing off the T-stand.  The teams only played 2 innings.  Each player had a turn batting during the inning, and they only advance one base at a time.  My favorite part was when one child would get to the (hit) ball first, but before he/she had the chance to pick it up, he/she was pounced on by every other teammate trying to get the ball!  Then, one kiddo would come up victorious from the pile, ball in hand, jumping up and down exclaiming "I got it!"  All the while, the coach is trying to get them to throw the ball to first base!

Until next time...

My Best Friend's Wedding

One of my best friends, Erin, got married the first weekend of May.  They had an absolutely beautiful outside wedding, followed by dinner and dancing in her uncle's barn.  Enjoy some of the photos I was able to capture of the big day!

During the wedding ceremony, the bride and groom mixed two colors of sand to represent becoming one

The Kiss!

Once the food was served, and the cake was cut, it was time to tear up the dance floor!

Eventually, the kiddos' dancing style became running around the dance floor, falling down, and rolling in the dirt!

Dallas also had to empty his boots...

Swing your partner round and round!

Too bad Little Miss didn't look at the camera

Thanks again Erin and Eric for including us in your special day.  May God always bless you, your marriage, and your family.

Until next time...

Fun Friday Foto - So Long, Lily

One morning on his way to work, Doug found himself in the McDonald's parking lot with a no-longer running Lily.

Luckily, one of his co-workers came and picked him up (he was literally just across the highway from work).  I then visited the mechanic next door to have him tow the car back and see what the problem was.  Long story, short.  It was more than we wanted to spend to keep the old gal running.  Thankfully, the mechanic was willing to buy her!

Farewell, Lily!  You sure were a great car.

Until next time...

Picnic at the Park

A few weeks ago, Dallas and Reba mentioned about taking our lunches to the park after school.  It was a beautiful day, so that is just what we did.

Reba chose a ham "samich" on a "white pancake"

Dallas had a blast climbing and playing after he finished his lunch!

Reba, on the other hand, was ready for a nap and only played a few minutes on the bouncy duck
