Spring Baseball

By -

Charlie was drafted to the Cincinnati Reds and we were excited for him to play for Coach Dunbeck again!



Excited for Grancy to see his parade!

Parade is such a fun community celebration as families line the streets to cheer on our guys as they start their baseball season!

If you have a ball, Charlie is ready to play!



He played first base, pitched, and did a little centerfield. 

Lovie and Pops were his biggest fans!

Game ball! 

Dinner to celebrate the game ball!


Little League day at the Braves!






It wasn't the winningest season, but Charlie had a great season! With the support of Coach Dunbeck his pitching and first base plays get better all the time! He ended the season with a great hit! Can't wait to see how his game is when he gets the hang of hitting consistently!

One of the funniest things this season was a really tall kid who played on another team and pitched. After a game he called, "Good game!" to Charlie in a very deep voice that sounded like a man. Charlie's eyes were big as saucers as he said thank you! Then, he was pitching to that same kid in the final game. Charlie claims he and coach had a connection and shared a look that said he should walk this kid. So, Charlie makes the decision to walk him by pegging him in the ankle with the ball! One way to keep him from getting a hit off you!

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
