The update is way past due I know - this life is a ride though and it is going so fast I can't always do the things I want to! I can't even scratch the surface a lot of the time. Twice now when I have been bustling around brow furrowed Kellen has stopped me in my tracks by saying, "you happy Mom?" I stopped taken of guard and thought why is my 2 year old asking me this? Then I told him both times, "yes I am happy I am just busy." To which he said, "ok you happy." This second line in the form of a statement. I am really happy and think it is sweet and a little odd that my 2 year old is the one making me have this introspective moment.
This last month has been crazy with varsity soccer and varsity basketball the same season, Josie's club soccer team, Emmie's dance and Brody's t-ball plus all the school and church and family stuff sprinkled in. Now we have Perry's club soccer and track to add in. Perry and Davin both made all-league. Davin all valley and all CIF too. It was so fun to watch these kids play! Davin unfortunately crashed his car on a rainy day driving through the Sam's club parking lot. Brad spent lots of days out of town, and of coarse was gone for the crash and for the bball banquet I had to help put on for 100 people. I told you it is a ride :) I don't want to forget the beginning of potty training, a couple of colds, perry learning to drive with her permit, Josie's band stuff, and great friends that came to visit.
I have to tell the Brody and baseball story. When we found out we were expecting a boy with Brody, first thing I said to Brad during the ultra sound actually was he is not playing baseball. I just didn't think I could do it again. It is fun and cute when they are little, but when they get older there is batting practice, pitching practice, regular practice, and games that last 2 hrs and 20 min - not to mention the stress on the mother when there is so much pressure on her child!!!
Brad being the constant negotiator says to me how about only if he is left handed?! I am laying there thinking there are slim to no chances this baby will be a lefty because we have 4 right handed children and we are both right handed, so I say O.K.! By the time Brody was 6 months old you could tell he was going to be a lefty!!!! Brad of coarse has held me to this little deal as you can see from the pictures below. Brody has officially begun his baseball career.

You are a busy beautiful mom Haley! Kids are so wonderful and so exhausting all at the same time aren't they. I am so thankful to be back in touch with you lately and I love reading your blog. I am glad Davin is ok after that crash and that your kids are as amazing as you were/are at sports and as cute as ever.
ReplyDeleteawwwe I have the cutest cousins ever! <333 Miss you guys so much! We wish we could go to Brody's T ball games so bad! Love you guys!
ReplyDeleteHaley, girl this made me smile! I just got the first email from Luke's baseball coach about practice, etc. I have loved his 2 soccer seasons (he is only an old kindergartener!) because the games are over in an hour and there is ACTION the whole time! We will see...I cant imagine how busy you must be with your kids so active and successful in sports and all the other things in LIFE at the same time! miss you tons!
