She Turned 7!

SEVEN, she did it again... who does she think she is trying to get another year older on us. In all seriousness, she is SEVEN. Like, what happened to 5 and 6? Let me tell you what 7 looks like on my little Pripri... Just a few things about this girl 1. Guess who her favorite person is...duh. Micah 2. She is soooo much more compassionate and caring than I could have ever imagined. 3. She might be 7, however her attitude screams teen! She is sensitive but oh so brave and she is never afraid to take on new adventures! 4. Her best friend is still, you guessed it, Maggie. 5. Right now she is playing softball (second season) and is having a ton of fun. Cheerleading is still on her brain, but for now, we will stick with this. 6. When she laughs, you can't help but laugh with her. Her laugh alone will make you light up. 7. Her favorite things include: Unicorns, Bear (her pink one), Unicorns, Mermaids, those fake glasses (see pic below), her American Girl Doll (pic above), Uni...

Hello & Goodbye to Sum•mer

sum·mer 1 ˈsÉ™mÉ™r/ noun 1 .  the warmest season of the year, in the northern hemisphere from June to August and in the southern hemisphere from December to February. I just wanted to give myself a second to really think about this thing called summer. Anyone else think this definition is just a little bit vague? It's that time of year where we get all excited to have ZERO schedule, endless electronics, the chance to travel and cram in all of the fun you planned for all year long. Then when this so called "summer" ends, you feel bamboozled, like someone just waved that 4th of July pie you went to that party to specifically eat, right in front of your face only to look...not eat. Like seriously, it was here, right in front of my face, and now... it's gone. Now, now we pack lunch every night, we get our homework in (which I don't even understand), we figure out which parent is going to be the taxi for the day, we actually have to ...

Peace Out to Another School Year

It's so true what they say, time flies, so be carful not to blink too hard. I love seeing these first and last day pics side by side.  The growth always stuns me bit and sends me into meltdown mode. I see them everyday, why do I feel like I am missing them physically grow?! My only indicators are the thinning of dimples in their cheeks and on their little hands. We say peace out to 1st and 3rd grade today, and Maddux says peace out to life in general. I am always excited for the next step, but I trend lightly as it just means another dimple is fading. 1st and Last day of the 2016-2017 School Year

My MVP's

Last week I briefly stated that the high school team I coach won the State Championship... let me elaborate. It's been fours years since I signed up for this coaching job, previous to that I had been doing private hitting lessons for 10 years and I am still coaching a club Firecracker team. I know it's a bit much, but when you love coaching, it's worth it. This Championship was our 2nd in 3 years and our "little" Empire team pulled through a pretty tough season to take the ship. However, I think for me the biggest MVP's in all of my seasons of coaching is this group right here.  They, we, sacrifice so much to let me do this and without their support... none of it is possible. So a big shout out to the MVP's of MY game. Maddux: Mom! Look there's you, Daddy, Pri Pri, Micah and the Piston Cup!

How cute is this shirt?! Maddux is the only one in this household that I still have a say in what he wears, so for now, I will take full advantage! Shirt:  Saturday Morning Pancakes

Thanks for Stumbling Across Us

Whoa. It's been a minute. A LONG one. One of our newest friends whom we met through Maddux's daycare said she stumbled across our blog, so I decided to stumble across it too, and it had me in full memory effect. The blog has become more about the kids, and when they are older I want them to see what life is like when they were young.  I let it go for a while because well, 3 kids will do it to ya. So, after reading through a few of the posts, I was more than grateful that I wrote in the first place. SOOOOO many memories! So, here we go on the longest update ever... Last time we met, Micah was 8, Kapri was 5 and you were just getting to know Maddux.  For times sake (remember 3 kids, no time) I ' ll bullet for ya. Micah (9) ·       Ending 3 rd  grade and excelling in school, STILL a bit too talkative in class ·       Working towards his 2 nd  degree black belt ·   ...

When I turned around... Micah turned 8.

For just a split second if I close my eyes real tight, I still picture the tired me holding the only months old crying you in the middle of the night and can remember the "I know this isn't forever, but please make it stop" feeling. I truly did want you to stop crying BUT I also knew that me nurturing for you like that, wasn't going to last long.... so I swayed a little more and embraced your little body with all of me. Then I turned around and you were 8. In 8 years we have discovered more and more about the person you will be, and I am so very proud of what we are about to see. So once again I share with you what your 8 looks like! 1. You are madly in love with your little brother and he knows it! 2. Baseball and ATA (Blue/Brown Belt) are your activities, and you are doing great at both... we might need to work a little harder at the whole catching thing. 3. We all LOVE the way you laugh out loud at ANYTHING remotely funny in a quiet movie theater, it's ex...
