Cooper at Practice

Tonight, Cooper had his second t-ball practice and I was able to go (and take my camera~the back up, I sure do miss my other camera!). It turned very cool and windy, but the kids didn't seem to notice!

batting practice

swing ...and a foul ball!

did you see me mom?

Reagan went to cheer Cooper on, but missed most of his practice because she sat under the blanket!

they're all going for the ball

Reagan did appear long enough to tell Cooper he was doing a great job...

...and to give him a hug

getting some tips from his coach

Back in Action

The Blue Marlins had another soccer game this afternoon. As always, the games are very fun to watch! (My camera is still at the shop, but I had my old faithful Canon with me...I sure do miss being able to zoom in close)

Warming up

Reagan was chosen to kick the opening kick (I'm sure there is a more technical soccer term, but I'm new at being a soccer mom!)

Reagan also got to throw the ball in again this game

defending the goal

Good game, good game

running off the field

(if we were keeping score, she would be running off the field victorious 5-1!)

Cooper had his first t-ball practice tonight. I offered to let Greg take the camera with him to document the occasion, but he respectfully declined. So, I don't have pictures from his very first practice, but don't worry, I'll be at his next practice taking it all in!

Keira's Pinkalicious Party

Today, Keira celebrated her 6th birthday with a pinkalicious party. All the kids were asked to wear pink!! The party was held at a place with giant inflatables. The kids had a great time running, jumping and sliding!

they were sliding too fast for my camera!

Keira ~ the birthday girl

...and then my camera died. Not sure what happened, but it is at the repair shop as I type. It should be returned to me within 2 weeks (or mommy will be getting a new one! I'm not sure which I'm hoping for!!!)

Surprise!!

I picked Reagan up early from school today to surprise her with a trip to Tennessee for her cousin Keira's birthday party. Reagan had no idea...she kept saying, "for real? for real?" It was so cute! She was a great traveller on the way~watching movies, singing, and chatting with me. Keira didn't know we were coming either, so we were able to surprise her when we got to mamaw and papaw's house!

Look who's here!

Best cousins! Reagan had to show mamaw and Keira her "Star Student" book that her classmates made for her. Each student drew a picture and wrote a comment about Reagan.

Playing restaurant ~ mamaw, papaw and I were invited to a free feast!
