More baseball!

This is Brayden with Coach Baughman after they won the Shrine Tournament.


Kai enjoying himself during one of the tournament games. A friend of mine was actually taking pics of Kai at this time, but I snuck a picture also. :)

Another picture of Kai helping Cole out with a helmet. Kai kept saying that he and Cole were going to go play some football!!

July Fun!

My brother Randall, his wife Lisa, and their kids Toni and Kira came for a visit! They wanted to go to the zoo and also to the science museum COSI. We had a water balloon fight, roasted s'mores, went for walks, attended some baseball games and had a nice time on their short visit with us.

This is Brayden up to bat at his all-star game! They ended up winning this one. :)

This is Kai with his homemade SCUBA gear. He has even had me use a belt and loop it around a gatorade bottle and attach it to his back so that he can use it as his SCUBA tank. It's cute!!



Cole crashed on the kitchen floor while I was making dinner. He loves listening to Taylor Swift, so I put it on for him and he'll sing to some of the songs, it's pretty cute. Each morning, he says, "Can you put in Taylor Swift love story baby just say yes?!"



This is Brayden's regular season team after their championship game! They won the Shrine Tournament and it was a huge deal because a team from our league hasn't won it in 70 years! It was a great season, they only lost 1 game the whole season, so they got another trophy for that! He just finished up his all-star games last week and he's just getting ready to start Fall ball.

Girls trip to the Keys

This is me diving in Key Largo. The water was perfect, the visibility was amazing and the marine life was incredible. Loved it. This was on my second dive, after being seasick on the boat on the reef.

This was a huge sting ray. I also saw a lobster the size of my two year old, a rock fish (they look like the coral), a moray eel and lots of other beautiful fish.

Key Lime Pie from the Key Lime Pie Factory in Key West. It was gooooood!!


This is my friend Rachel and her 4th little daughter Gabriella. Kevin planned this trip with her husband Levi. We had a great time and spent 6 days enjoying the sun. This was taken in Key West after a sudden downpour, it was funny. We got soaked. At least we got in all our sight seeing and it happened as we were headed to Key Largo.

Moments in Nashville

Saydria dancing with Daddy to Taylor Swift's "Love Story" in front of the Grand Ole Opry.

Cole roasting marshmallows for s'mores.


Brayden shoveling pie in his face at the Nashville Zoo. He won the pie eating contest. On the news that evening, we saw him eating some pie and then we saw his interview. It was pretty cool, he thought he was a Nashville Star. :) Literally. When we were sitting poolside later that day, he said "Saydria, get me a drink and some crackers. Celebrity here."


Kai and Cole racing.



I told Cole to get dressed for me and he came out looking like this. Nice.

Nashville

Kids at the lake at Nashville Shores. They loved the lake area. We even took a boat ride that I thought they would like. They got pretty bored though, thankfully it was only 20 minutes.

Kai munching on a granola bar in the sun. I love his spikey lashes. :)


Our family in front of the Grand Ole Opry. They were playing Taylor Swift's "Love Story" song and Kai was looking for where the music was coming from. He thought for sure she was hiding in the flowers. :) Cole was yelling "That's Taylor Swift!" at a girl with blonde, wavy hair coming out of the back of the building, she thought that was pretty funny.


Playing a round of mini golf at Nashville Shores.



Kai in a kayak at Nashville Shores. That's me and Cole in the yellow kayak behind him. It was so fun! We loved the kayaks.
So we spent 5 days in Nashville and did some pretty fun things. The kids loved just swimming in the pool. I'll post more pics later. Brayden was even on the Channel 5 News in Nashville at 4, 5 and 6 o'clock! Dying to know why? Stay tuned...
