Morganne's first softball game!

There is truly not much cuter than a 5 year old in her first softball uniform!  (This is one proud Mom!)  Morganne had a blast at her first softball game today.  The weather was perfect.  She fielded two grounders, hit once off the tee and then the second time hit a nice hit off the coach's pitch.  Grandad got to come and watch, Daddy helped coach, and we played and cheered with friends.  We had so much fun!

 Daddy is an assistant coach so he got to help set up the girls for batting.

 

First base!

 

 Making it home...

Fielding her first grounder and a throw to first!

 

A field full of 5 year old is a bit chaotic when the ball is hit!  Such a hoot!

 

Morganne's first hit!!!

Loved this picture.  The first baseman was doing cartwheels around the base....  ;c)

Great game girls!

And of course little sister had to take a turn around the bases too....  She can't wait for her time on the field. ;c)

A day of beautiful weather and beautiful smiles

Mowing season is such a bittersweet time for this family.  It's great because it means some extra money coming in, and Justin getting to do something that he loves. It stinks because it means that Justin will be gone nearly every evening and weekend hours.  With a pregnancy that is taxing on me, and the girls missing their Daddy, I believe it will be a long 6 months.  Either way though, we are blessed for the opportunity.  Yesterday, the weather was so nice that Justin go the mowers out for their annual tune-ups.  He convinced the girls to go for a ride and boy did they love it.  Naturally Kaelynn was much more daring and jumped up first, but then Morganne saw that it looked like fun and discovered that it was indeed a thrill ride for her.

 

 

Then the girls and I headed out to Nana and Grandad's for dinner and play.  I LOVE watching my Mom and Dad play with the girls.  They love their attention and I see my Dad transform into years younger and lose any inhabitions when playing with his "girls".  They rode bikes, practiced softball, played kickball, and here Morganne and he played a little soccer in the front yard.  I loved every minute and so did they.
