Razorback Baseball

Last weekend Jeffrey, Brandon, and I took Halle and Syd to watch the HOGS play baseball. They swept the series playing Georgia!!! We enjoyed Saturdays game.

Syd enjoying cotton candy. I think this was her favorite part! :)

It started raining toward the end but it didn't seem to bother the girls! Halle was really into the game, and Syd did better than I expected her to do.

Halle and Syd calling those HOGS!!

We took the girls to the stadium and watched the HOGS scrimmage for a little bit. Halle looked for Ryan Mallet the entire time but we could never spot him.

Brandon showed the girls his name on the sidewalk.... Cute pic but Brandon's name doesn't show up too well....

Halle and Syd posing in front of Old Main.

The tulips were still really pretty.... Notice the girls eye blacks.... Syd's didn't last very long before she got tired of them.

Syd found these HOG noses first thing in the store..... She left with hers... Halle passed but I took quick pic before we left store... Too funny!!

We made a flying trip up there leaving after Halle and Syd's softball games Friday night. We arrived in Fayetteville about 1:30 AM and left Fayetteville Saturday afternoon after the game. The girls had a blast and much thanks to Gran and Papa Rick for keeping Carlee and Kalee!!

Sweet Sluggers 2010

Halle's team.... Sweet Sluggers.... 8 & Under Pitching Machine League..... We have hit the big time playing 15 games this year and possibly more if we play tournaments!

Halle up to bat..... This was there 2nd game against DQ Divas... Sweet Sluggers won 10-8!! Halle scored 1 run.... She got thrown out at 3rd trying to steal.... The catcher was their best player!!

Jeffrey giving Halle some last minute instructions.... Warms my heart :).....

Halle plays first..... She is doing a good job! We have some good players who have been making awesome stops and the girls have been able to get several outs at 1st.

Halle was proud of their win!!! They had lost their first game against the other Outlaw team... 5-4! Halle was really disappointed!!! Sweet Sluggers had the last bat and had a runner on 3rd with 2 outs and Halle came up to bat.... I was really nervous!!!! She hit the ball to 2nd and got thrown out at 1st! It was a good game but I hated that Halle was the last out!! Oh well it was a good learning experience for her... :)

Jeffrey talking to the girls after the big WIN!!!

Pony Power- Syd Softball 2010

Syd's first softball game

Syd picked #1 for her number this year

Down and ready for the ball...... She is doing good stopping most balls that come her way and is getting the hang of throwing it to first once she stops the ball.

She is a good hitter.... We play where the coach pitches to the players.... If they do not hit the ball after 4 pitches on the 5th pitch they can hit it off the tee. Last Friday Jeffrey told Syd on the 4th pitch that she better hit it because she wasn't hitting off the tee........ So she hit it! ;) It's tough being the coach's kid!! LOL

She made it to first and was ready to run to second

Ready for the pitch.... Syd has 2 more games and then her season will end.... She is really enjoying playing! Just love her in her little ball suit!!!

Easter 2010

Syd, Carlee, Halle, Kalee Easter morning... hard work getting these 4 to all look and smile!!!

Rick, Mom, and Uncle Brandon with us all

Mamaw with 3 of her 6 grandchildren

Mamaw with 5 of her 7 great- grandchildren

Syd telling Halle exactly how and where to go find an egg!!! As you can tell she is really listening

Carlee hunting eggs... she would pick one up, shake it, open it, get the candy out and then put it in her basket. :)

Kalee would gather up as many eggs as she possibly could before she put it in her basket!! Cute and funny how they are different but also sooooo much the same!!

Mamaw and Uncle Brandon swinging the babies... they were so tired!

Carlee and Kalee wearing their bunny ears that Uncle Brandon gave them.... took quick picture because they didn't last long!! ;) He also got Halle and Syd cute Easter pens.

Halle, Syd, and Kaleb playing.... They had a great time playing together!!

Papa Rick and Gran also gave the girls Easter presents.... shoes, books, candy, money, and stickers.

Dying Easter Eggs

Halle and Sydney dyed Easter Eggs Saturday night.... We, or rather I, just can't get up and around early enough on Sunday to dye them on Sunday morning which Jeffrey would prefer because he likes to eat them! ;) But don't worry his mom dyes them for him on Sunday.... ;)

I think Halle and Syd broke/cracked more eggs than they didn't and when they finished my floor and bar was a nice shade of tie dyed! ;) Good thing it all cleans up well!!!! They enjoyed themselves.... I let them do them all by themselves this year! I had to make one egg that said CM hearts JM... LOL So then Halle had to make one that said HM hearts AS.... boyfriend of choice these days.... ;) Jeffrey just cringes and goes on....

Carlee and Kalee were just too tired from the busy day to stay up so I took a picture of what they were doing during the egg dying... Kalee in the bed, Carlee with dad.

Chamber Easter Egg Hunt 2010

Halle found 3 prize eggs.... 2 of her friends were there so she was a big girl and shared!!

Carlee and Kalee were pros at finding eggs this year!! They loved opening the eggs to see what was inside!

Halle with 2 of her good friends, Kennedy and Maddie V.... who she shared her prize eggs with.

Uncle Brandon with Syd... Love this pic!! Syd found 2 prize eggs!!

Syd far away from the Easter Bunny.... She wanted no part as always!! Who could blame her, he did look pretty scary!! BTW ... Carlee and Kalee wanted no part either!!

But here's my big girl.... I believe since she was born she has always taken her picture with the Easter Bunny and Santa!! ;) I think is cause she never wants to miss a photo op!!! :)

First Camping Trip Of The Year

Syd hiding at the playground during the hide and go seek run to base game.

Daddy and Halle hiding.... Laughed so hard my belly hurt!!!

Halle and Syd playing in the camper... NO they did not sleep up here... afraid they would fall off!

Pa came for a visit one afternoon... It was cold Thursday. Pa had to leave because the girls were making him nervous around the fire! ;)

Syd playing at the playground.

Carlee and Kalee hiding during the game! ;) Love them!!

Saturday was a big fishing tourney on the lake.... Halle helped carry the fish back to the water after they were weighed.... Syd not interested in touching any fish!!!!

Jeffrey took the girls fishing one day.... not one fish made it in the boat! :) Halle has informed me she is too big (mature) for this life jacket this year! She said , " Just look at me... I look ridiculous!" My baby is growing up!! ;(

Syd fishing... too cute!

Sitting around the fire eating lunch... Syd dropped her plate in about 1.5 seconds after me giving it to her... Yes she cried until I got her a new one! ;)

Kalee playing at the playground... Not afraid of one thing!!

Carlee playing in the tunnel... Not afraid either!!

As you can tell we had a great time during Spring Break. The girls love to camp and we are looking forward to many more trips this summer! I had a hard time keeping them out of the water this go around... they think camping equals swimming! ;)
