I cracked.

I made it thru the Fellowship meal at church with all that family reunion food... the desserts were plentiful, yet I held back. "No sugar for me," I boasted all afternoon.

"I am so powerful in my way of eating" I thought to myself.


UNTIL -

We had to take Tripp to the ER after church. We came home, he went to potty and Dave was going to wipe him. He had a rectal prolapse. Google it if you dare.

What 3 year old has this? My son.
After about 1 1/2 hours, it went back in. We came home.

And I ate Key Lime Pie.

Ball season is here! - part two..

Tripp's ball season started out with soccer... baseball doesn't start till the second week in May.

This kid is an athlete.. allbeit, a moody one. Aren't they all, though? I know that my true love Peyton Manning always has an intense look while he is playing the sacred game of football.. so I expect no less for my own son Tripp.

See his intense, blurry face?

Let's look and see how his morning went, shall we?

Oh, Coach Daddy - I don't want to do this. I need my Mommy.

And I don't want to leave your side. Please, Daddy, noooo!

Nevermind, Coach Daddy. I am off to score some goals!

(After Mommy walked him on the field)

Get outta my way, buddy!

He ended up playing a good game. I think he scored three or four.

Ball season is here!

Well, it is that time again! And this year, I am so blessed to have not one, not even two - but, ALL THREE kids playing some sort of ball. Emma's softball season started Thursday. We have a great coach - none other than our own Grandmama - and this is sure to be a treat for my super athletic 5 year old daughter who doesn't like to get dirty or sweaty.

For your viewing pleasure, I give you the following photos. See for yourself.

On the field throwing the ball. Check out the glove.

Dave is making her bat. Doesn't she look enthused?

She hit the ball!!! Yey, Emma.

Later, on - it was time to go back and pratice catching.

She is sleeping on the field.

Well, not really. But it makes for a good story, right?

She was super sweaty... and proceeded to tell me about it. And she said, "Will we practice like that everytime?"

This is just the beginning.
