12U Softball

By -

Sarah Graves had the good fortune of being on another winning softball team!





She worked hard over the season to improve her fielding and hitting. 

Having a friend come cheer her on is always fun!

We had our share of playing in the cold, rain, and the heat!

Coach gave her the game ball for her attitude and support of her teammates.

I made a Texas sheet cake for their end of season celebration. I was pretty proud of the decorating and it tasted great!

Championship play is a little different for 12U. Their team was in 1st place and still had to battle all day to make it to the championship game!

When her team needed it in the 3rd game, Sis came through with a hit and a run to help them win it!

The girls had fun hanging out in their hospitality tent. Thank goodness it was in a shady area with fans to keep the girls cool on this hot day!

Their last game was a tough one. Their opponents were strong players with friends and family who said mean things and showed poor sportsmanship. Their harsh words definitely got to the girls and in the end they couldn't pull out a win. 

2nd place for their age group isn't bad!

So grateful for her kind coach, Coach David. 

Some tears and some smiles after a long day playing five games in the hot sun. 

This guy finds fun wherever he goes!

Charlie found his friend, Ellie and they kept score for her sister's game. 

Charlie hung in there all day with no complaints.

Cold treats from Sonic to end the big day. 

Maw Maw was there all day cheering them on.

So was Lovie! Grateful for their support

A championship ring was cool!

Frozen Party Details

Like most girls her age, Sarah Graves LOVES Frozen and has known for quite some time that she wanted a Frozen birthday party. I was so excited when I saw this invitation on Etsy and she loved it too! It reminded me of an infographic. The Frozen theme was a lot of fun! There were so many things to choose from that I took to pinterest and eventually decided on the ideas that I would use for this party. I found this great Arendelle banner here on Pinterest I was so grateful that my sister did a snowflake Christmas and had tons of snowflake ornaments to hang as decorations! This party theme was a lot of fun to plan the food. Kristoff's ice cubes were made from Jell-o with an ombre effect. I found the recipe here on Pinterest. I doubled the recipe to make a 13x9 size pan of it and I made 2 13x9 pans of it. The made plenty of "ice cubes" to fill 35 cups. They turned out really cute! My parents made this Elsa cake and did a fabulous job

Cloth vs. Disposable

By -
We have mostly been planning to do disposable diapers because I felt that cloth would just be too much work when I go back to work.  Then, we saw these diapers called happy heiny's ( www.happyheinys.com ).  These looked much different than what I envisioned cloth diapers to look like.  Mom used cloth diapers with me and Jeanne', so she felt totally up for using them while Sarah Graves is at her house.  I started looking into the cost comparison and depending on what type of cloth diapers you buy, you can save anywhere from $1200 - $1700.  That is pretty attractive, not to mention knowing that you aren't filling up a landfill somewhere.  There are lots of different varieties of cloth diapers out there, but the ones that seem to be a good investment and user friendly are diapers that have snap closures, with a pocket for an insert to absorb the contents, and they are one size that adjusts as your baby grows from a newborn up to 35 pounds.  You can also purchase the traditio
