Busy Summer Days

Haley went to Art Camp at Meredith's.  She made a camp for middle school girls.  They had a blast and I think Meredith did too.

4th of July

 We started the day playing babies with Hannah. 

My beautiful girl in her hat from Mrs. Laurin.

We headed to Heather's house for a swimming cookout.

 Hannah is OCD like Aunt Zig.  She lines everything up in straight lines.

 I had to teach Hannah the right way to eat an oreo.

Izzy wanted some cuddle time.  Such a sweetie pie.

 Then she had to have another picture with Hunter.

After Heather's we headed to Nick & Suzy's for a little bit.  On the way home we pulled over to watch the end of Bellvue's Firework show.

Hunter's team ended their season this week.  We made a very difficult decision to leave the Tigers after 6 years.   We made the decision because one of our best friends Justin Headley is coaching a team and we felt it was time for Hunter to be coached by someone other than daddy.  This season was very hard with Rob's work schedule.  As much as he loved coaching Hunter he knows this was the right decision for him at this point.  We love all of our baseball family and hated to leave.  We prayed very hard about this decision.    

The team gave Robbie this frame from Cooperstown.

Friday Robbie took Hunter, Tate, & Evan to watch the Championship game so Haley and I went with Mom, Amy & her kids, & the James family to the water park in Little Rock.  It was a great time.

My sweet girl

We ran into one of our favorite families.  Ali & Richie were there with Ainsley & Landrey.  We just love those sweet girls but we also love their parents.  After a visit with them a few months back we were on the way home and Rob & I laughed at how much they remind us of younger/skinner us.  They love sports & their girls so much.

 Haley is just like her momma she loves babies.  You can see that Landrey was happy with her too.

 Sweet Izzie was a hoot.  We were in the wave pool and she only wanted to be in the deeper water when the waves were on.  She would say let's go "skinnier" every time they would turn off.  Oh and she only wanted to "ride the waves" with Aunt Zig Zig.  This made me feel special.

Haley was exhausted on the way home.

Saturday we met everybody at the Huber's.  They are in Dallas for Nick's mom's memorial.  They were very generous to leave us a key to swim.

The kids had a blast.  Jonah, Carter, Charlie & Haley all learned to dive.  It was so fun to watch.

 I love their smiles.  You can see the love!

The boys spent the night.  This is what I saw when I told them it was time for bed.  Carter had already fallen asleep and Hunter was playing xbox with Jonah & Charlie.

Monday was the first day of Grey Y football practice.  Of course it was rainy.  We learned there is a big difference in AYS & Middle School Football. 

I can't believe school starts back in 1 week and we will have a hectic schedule again.
I love summer and being able to spend so much time with my family.

Thank you God for blessing me with a family I love so much!!

AYLL Softball Champs

Haley's team started the season slow losing their first 3 games against the blue team.  They beat the red team every time.  After the 3rd loss they pulled it together and went undefeated for the rest of the season.  Their record was 15-3.   We are so proud of the progress they made.  Our Haleybug did a great job pitching and playing the field.  She hit the ball awesome.  She worked hard and it paid off.  We love you Haleybug!

State Champs

Hunter's team played in the West Tennessee State Tournament.  The boys played hard all weekend.  Sunday they beat Redbirds Baseball and Jackson Athletics to claim the title West TN State Champs.

I am so proud of this group of boys.  They worked so hard.  I love this team and all the families.

Coach Jeff Mullen, Coach Robbie Goodman, Coach Nick Huber

Will Huber, Logan Feathers, Hunter Goodman, Jase Stuckey, Cody Brewington

Brett Wilkins, Jordan Mullen, Beau McKay, Albert Gonzales, Evan Crenshaw

So proud of my boys

Hunter pitched the championship game.  He struck out 6 and didn't walk or hit anyone.  He only gave up one run.  He also had an in the park home run and an off the wall double. 

On a side note here is Rob's leg after a long day at the ball park.  We got a good laugh because some of it is dirt but a lot is his tan line.

Coach Nick's mother passed away so he was in Dallas, TX.  He got up early Sunday morning and drove back to be there for his team on Sunday.  Even though he was very tired physically & emotionally he put his boys first.  He invited the team & families over for a celebration party.

We enjoyed swimming, pizza & spending time with each other.

It's great to be an Arlington Tiger!!
