baseball, party, car show... what a day!

Today was Tyler's last baseball game of 2011! Luckily we got beautiful weather which was a concern considering this season was full of rain, cold, hail, and SNOW! Spring sports are so unpredictable when it comes to the forecast! After the last game the team headed over to Cameron Park Lake for the end of season party. They had pizza, cupcakes, and received a cute little trophy for all their hard work. Then they all headed to the swimming hole to play for the remainder of the time. 

 I LOVE this one of Tyler. I might need to frame it! 

Partyyyyy time! 

 Here is Tyler receiving his trophy from his coach

 YAY Yankee's! 

Time to swim and build sand castles! 

 Before the game we went to visit Deke at a local car show. The fire departments always attend the community events. We were able to walk around and have lunch together :)

 Deke looks exactly the same in both pictures. I thought that was funny. 

From am to pm this has been an eventful day! I can't wait to just curl up on the couch and relax! 

2011 Opening Day - GO YANKEES!!!

Yesterday was our baseball leagues opening day - it's our kick off party for the season! They had bounce houses, rock climbing wall, FOOD, music, a parade, and a raffle. I of course forgot my camera so please excuse the horrible picture quality from my camera phone. 

The team and coaches! 

 Climb baby climb! 

 We were lucky enough to win TWO of the raffle baskets! Both were "Family movie night" baskets. So fun! 

 After opening day we went to my sisters house to get our baby fix. Here is Deke meeting his new niece for the first time ♥

Our October so far...

This is Tyler's second year in soccer. He BEGGED me to sign him up for months, on the first day of his practice he said "why did you sign me up, I hate soccer!". Really Tyler? Well its too late now, I drag him to practice every Wednesday and to his game every Saturday. He doesn't seem to mind his games so much but he hates practice. Next year I want to get him on a team with some friends in hopes that it was change his tune about the sport. We'll see....

After his game last Saturday we went to Apple Hill to get out harvest fix. As always we went to High Hill Ranch and it was beyond crowded! I still can't believe how many people congregate to Camino during the month of October. It was so bad that they closed the 3 exits to get into Apple Hill and requested people to take a transit in. We went didn't like that idea so we found our own way in.

Kids just love this dirt slop in High Hill Ranch

I have a tradition that every year I get one craft from a booth in Apple Hill. This year I bought a snow globe and peacock feathers. The feathers were a small purchase so it didn't count as my craft. ;-)

I don't know why peacock feathers always grab my attention. I just love the vibrant colors and have always wanted to get some. They were pretty affordable so I thought I'd give them a shot, even though I don't know what to do with them!

My new Christmas decoration: A lantern musical snow globe :)

Us relaxing on the grass slop watching Tyler run around the pond.

A couple of weeks ago Tyler found a bag of flower seeds and told me he was going to plant them. I never gave it much thought until I found these beauties next to our lemon tree! He planted them, watered them, and even put a rock border around them! Nice job Tyler!

Blog Update

Oh my gosh has it really been 2 months since I've posted to my blog?!? Wow! I guess I've been really busy... here's the skinny on the past two months... Tyler had his first PGY show (performing groups for youth), baseball season came to an end today and we celebrated with a pool party at my house, we hiked Horse Tail Falls on Memorial Day, and Deke discovered his newest obsession - KARAOKE!

Horse Tail Falls!

Tyler's first trophy!

Cake I made for the party.

Strike?

PGY!
