Fall Softball for Sis

By -

What a softball season it was! It started off with nerves as she joined a team where she did n't know many girls and felt some concern, but when they picked the name Party Queens and showed there spirit, she knew she was on the right team!












The Party Queens had a good regular season and they went into the county tournament with good spirits. Who knew where all those cheers and support for one another would take them!
These coaches were so good! They kept it positive; made it fun; and taught the girls so skills too!
During the tournament the coaches acknowledged each girl and Sarah Graves received the superlative "Goodeye Queen"! Perfect for her since she has a great record for getting on base, even when she doesn't get a hit.

Lovie and Pops were there to cheer her on at games and the tournament!
The tournament was two days and they ended the first day 2 and 1 losing to another Rhyne Park team, the HERicanes. We played this team 3 times in regular season and lost each time. 

The second day was the finals and they won their first game and made it look so easy!

Their final game was against the HERicanes and this time the Party Queens were ready for the win, 10-4! It was a beautiful game and the Party Queens cheered and danced their hearts out the whole time!



They played other 12U teams in Cobb County and came out on top!

They made up a dance and chant, "When the Party Queens rock the house they rock it all the way down!" and even the coaches learned it! Such a fun team and winning it all is always sweet!


Celebratory dinner and a yummy dessert!






We have a favorite doughnut shop that is further from our house, but we always go when she plays at the ballpark near there. Dough in the Box makes an early morning game fun!



This girl tries hard, supports her teammates, and helps her team get the RBI!

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
