My ball player

Cooper LOVES baseball. 

And that's putting it mildly. He eat, sleep, breathes baseball right now. 

I won't lie. I get tired of the late games, the endless practices, and washing his white uniform pants constantly. Ugh. 

But I love that he loves it. So, I guess I kinda love baseball too.  He's happiest playing second or third but as long as he's playing - he's a happy kid. 

Him in action: 
Looks like a natural right? :)

O turned 12!

OGG turned 12 this past Saturday.

WOW.

She is growing up into such a wonderful little "woman" - she has left all that "being a kid" stuff behind her.  I'm not sure my heart is ready for this.  She is, of course.  :)

At TWELVE, Livvie likes:

Photography
Nana and Poppy gave her a really awesome digital camera to take pictures with.

iPhone
She can't live without it ya'll.

Friends
She's finally at that age where she's making friends that she will probably have for a while.  This excites and frightens me.  I want her to make good, solid choices, but also want her to take a chance on someone.  It's hard as parent to not try to influence your kids in the friends department.  So far, she's done a pretty good job.  I've interfered very little. 

Softball
This is new for Livvie but so far, it's a favorite.

She's been the absolute best time I've ever had for the last twelve years.  I can't believe these years have flown by so fast, but they have.  I pray every day that she and Cooper turn out to be 100 times better than I did (not that I turned out bad, but just because I want them to have an even better life than I have - you know what I mean!).

Love you forever Olivia Grace.  Thank you for being mine.
