Day 16 - Coach Dirk

Coach Dirk is the base runner on Second, half the team watching in the front row

 Today was an extra special day! It was our last day of Fall Break and it just so happened that Spencer's club baseball coach had his own baseball tournament. I was so thankful for Coaches wife for letting everyone know! ;) I sent out an email to the team and offered to take anyone that was still around and available. Two boys took me up on my offer, plus another boy and his dad came on their own plus Coach Dirk's two boys (that are also teammates) were there of course. It was such a treat for them to see their coach play some baseball (and practice what he preaches).

Coach up to bat! He had a great hit!

They just can't handle watching the game, they have to be playing it! They would play in the grassy area in the stadium and then watch when they would hear Coach come up to bat.

 At the end of the game the boys rushed the field to congratulate coach on the 12-6 win! Coach definitely had the largest cheering section, I'll bet his teammates were jealous.

Even Olivia had to get in on a hug for coach.

I am in LOVE with this picture.

Day 14 - Livy's Apron

My mom made this absolutely adorable apron for Olivia. Olivia is in love with it, of course, because she loves to help out in the kitchen!

Day 12 - At the park

Today while we were enjoying the beautiful weather at Spencer's baseball practice I took Olivia over to the park and quick snapped a picture of her before she darted off in another direction!

Later in the evening it was just too cold for her! She found a long sleeve shirt in Ethan's bag and then tried using the bag as a sleeping bag to keep herself warm. She's such a crackup!

Day 11- Rain!

Rain! Tonight at Ryleigh's softball game it started to rain (for like 73 seconds) but they played through it...Until its started to rain again. At this point they just called the game (we were up 18-6)
I love Arizona rain, there is nothing like it. We've lived all over the United States and AZ really does have the best rain storms.

My Four Kids

I saw the cutest idea on Pinterest! It's where you blowup a picture to a HUGE size, using blueprint paper at Kinko's and then glue it to a giant foam board! Since I have been needing something for my barren plant shelf in my front room I decided that this was perfect for it! So I took the kids out and snapped a few shots. It was super sunny so they are a little (okay a LOT) squinty but I think they turned out pretty cute! Plus my big picture on my plant ledge looks awesome!!

 

Day 10 - Spencer Potter

Look at me! Posting all early in the day! I am having an issue with my 12 year-old son. EVERY SINGLE DAY he is getting into the Halloween costumes and wearing the Harry Potter cloak. EVERY.SINGLE.DAY... Yet, he's too cool to dress up this year for Halloween...

Day 9 - Cold?

You know you live in Arizona when your kids start cheering that it's "cold" outside!
