Ladybug, Ladybug

Yesterday was my niece, Madelyn Grace, 2nd birthday & party. It was a blast!! Here are a couple of pictures.

Right after the party we were headed off to another scrimmage game & boy was it freezing. The wing was blowing so hard some of the boys hats kept flying off...it was so funny! Our team did great...I am so proud of how well they are doing. After the game we headed to my sister's to watch Madelyn open her presents and have some dinner. Jacob was so worn out from the party & the game he fell asleep in his chair...poor baby!

Hope everyone had a great weekend! Time to get ready for our week.

Monday: Score keeping class

Tuesday: Practice

Friday: Practice

Saturday: OUR FIRST GAME! Can't wait!!

"Auntie, I Love You Bebe!"

Between school, work, everyday duties, T-Ball, and our new house...time just seems to go faster and faster. Last Thursday was my sister & brother in laws 4th Wedding Anniversary. I thank God he brought them together...I have the best sister & brother in law ever! Friday I took Jacob to get his T-Ball pictures taken...they came out awesome. I bought like all of them...here are a couple:On Saturday was my mom's birthday! My dad & I made breakfast for my mom that morning and then we all went out to dinner that night. I love my mom...May God bless her with many more happy years!!

Monday we had a scrimmage game against the Philly's and I have to say our team did great! I am so proud of them! They are a great time and they all get along. Their thing is after every practice they yell "While Sox" and then all "dog pile" each other. It is hilarious!

4 more days and my niece, Madelyn Grace, will be turning 2 years old! She is my world, I love that little girl just as much a Jacob. The 2 of them are my reason of living. I can't believe she will be 2 already. I tear up thinking about it. It feels like just yesterday my sister was having her and now she has turned into a loud, silly, DIVA. Man that girl is going to be trouble when she gets older! She talks so much its amazing...but of course my favorite thing to hear her say is "Auntie, I love you Bebe!" Melts my heart! Thank you God for bringing her into our family, I don't know what we would do without her...well it sure would make for some quite dinners! Her party is going to be at the Little Gym so it should be a lot of fun! Jacob also has another scrimmage game right after her party so it sure will be a busy day!

I also can't wait until Easter! Some of my family is coming in and I am just so excited! It has been a long time since we have all had Easter together...this is very overdue!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hope your wearing green!

Take Me Out To The Ball Game

Jacob's room is finished!! Yey! My Dad is an amazing job putting the chair rail around the room and painting. I know red is a hard color to paint but it looks awesome! We got his furniture moved in there last night and hung up some of the decor. I still need to put up something above his bed but I am getting something framed soon that will fill that spot.

I love how it turned out...THANK YOU DAD!

T-Ball practice starts up again today...Jacob is so excited...he had a blast on Opening Day. Hope everyone has a great week!

Welcome To The Jungle & Opening Day

What a crazy weekend! Opening day, painting...I will spare you the details but we had a BLAST at Opening Day! Here are a couple of pictures of Jacob's play room (it's almost done...I need some sore of window treatments but can't decide what I want to do yet). I still have somethings to do but I think it is coming along great. I LOVE MY "WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE" My dad will be done painting Jacob's room today so I can't wait to see how it is all going to turn out! On Saturday was Opening Day...here are some pictures:

"Hurry Do It...I'll Time You"

I am guessing Jacob just goes through these crazy phases. Lately he has been rebellious. Not bad as in I can't take him not listening to me, rebellious as in when I ask him to do something I have to keep telling him to do it many times before he actually does it. Well I thought of a smart way to get him to do what I want. HaHa...yey me! "Jacob go brush your teeth." , "NO!" Turned into: "Jacob go brush your teeth...HURRY DO IT...I'LL TIME YOU!" , "Ok, start counting now" (while he takes off running to do whatever it is I have asked him to do) Then I count out loud (so he can hear how long it takes him to do the task) until he comes back to me. He just gets a kick out of how "fast" he does something. Sweet! So far so good! Each time he tries to do the task faster than the time before. He gets so excited...who knew someone would get such a kick out of numbers! Now he even likes to time me and we race to see who does things first...such a boy, so competitive! As long as he is doing what I ask! I'm sure eventually he will grow tired of this "counting game" but I sure am living it up while it last!

Hello, My Name Is...Busy!

What a weekend this has been. We cleaned the house top to bottom and basically moved everything into the new house. THANK YOU GOD FOR PROVIDING US WITH AMAZING FAMILIES WHO HAVE HELPED US ALL WEEKEND!! The house is almost done. I need a few more things to finish Jacob's playroom and my dad is still working on Jacob's room. He put a chair rail around the room on Monday and we will probably paint it on Sunday. I can't wait! It was non stop this whole weekend. Moving furniture, cleaning, washing clothes, unpacking...I am exhausted! The house is really coming together...I love it! Monday we had t-ball practice at a batting cage and tonight I have a Team Mom's meeting & I get the boys uniforms. I cant wait to see them. We have practice again on Thursday and then Saturday is opening day! I am so excited...it's going to be a long but fun day! I have been trying to squeeze in time from all this house stuff to get stuff for T-Ball ready and trying to manage my 2 classes. It has been tough but it will all pay off. I will post some pictures soon of the house...it was definitely worth the wait!
