Play Ball!

Alyvia played her first year of softball this summer!  8 and under league is definitely for learning!  I am so proud of how hard Alyvia worked.  She wasn't afraid to try any position and she always had "can-do" attitude, so so so proud of that!

I think second base was where she played best-she even had a double play during their tournament when she caught a line drive! Batting was difficult, but were going to continue working on it and she'll be smackin' the ball next summer :)

Papaw working with Livi on her batting

Livi is one loved little girl....Uncle Chris and Uncle Shane both worked with her on her game this summer, Nana and Papa came to almost every game, Mamaw and Papaw came to quite a few games and Papaw helped her with her game too, Uncle Adam, Uncle Shane and Aunt Lindsey came to games and even her cousin Shelli came to her last game.  Seriously, our kids are so loved!  Liv had a great first season and I love watching her play!

Happy birthday Nana!

 My mom's birthday was June 9th. I won't say how old she is now, but it was a milestone birthday :)  My brothers and I decided to host a surprise birthday party for her on the 21st.  Between me accidentally texting her about it (stupid group texting) and Alyvia's inability to keep a secret, I'm not sure how we pulled it off-but we did!

We had dinner at Alexander's Steakhouse-delicious!  Nothing huge, just family and a few friends, but it turned out to be a really nice evening.

She was really surprised!  She thought we were going out for my brother's birthday ;)

Crazy eyes selfie!

Finnegan moves too fast for the camera!!

It was a great night celebrating my mom and we were so thankful to those that were able to join us!
