Last T-ball Game

Tonight was Ben's last T-ball game of the season. The boys played great!! Ben hit the ball off the coach once and off the T a couple of times really well!!! Their fielding has also improved quite a lot over this season. Ben was really excited to see GaGa, PaPa & NaNa there as well as MiMi & PaPa, Thanks SO much for coming Y'all!! And a special thanks to my Daddy (PaPa G) for taking over my dugout duties for this game~I REALLY appreciated it!! :)
I know Ben LOVED playing and appreciated all of the coaches! In fact, the Coaches got the Game Ball(s) tonight! We were so lucky to have 4 AWESOME coaches this season, thanks Y'all for EVERYTHING!!!

Colin's Graduation

We went down to Austin for my younger brother's graduation last Friday and what fun times we had. On the way to Austin Thursday, we got to eat at my FAVORITE place Cracker Barrel (YUMMY) . The kids were so good in the car, then we got there Thursday evening and hung out at the hotel before going to dinner with both my brothers and my sister-in- law. It was great to get to see everyone.

Friday morning we were up bright and early to get to Colin's Graduation. He's graduating with a BBA in Marketing from the McCombs School of Business!! We're SOOO proud of him!! The kiddos did really well during the LONG ceremony~Emma even fell asleep! ;) Ben got a kick out of being able to yell and cheer REALLY loudly for Uncle Colin as he walked across the stage. After pictures, we went to lunch at a really yummy restaurant where we got to eat out on their patio. Then back to the hotel for naps, then swimming. That evening we had a cookout at Colin's house. Ben & Emma got to "rock-out" with all of the instruments that Colin & his roommates have. They had such a blast playing the drums and the piano, and Ben even made up some songs~ one was about T-Ball!! ;)

Saturday, we actually got to sleep in a little bit, then we headed over to the Co-op so that Uncle Colin could get the kids some UT stuff ~Let me tell you that was not an easy thing for Chris & I (us being Aggies and all)~Then we went to this really cute Cupcake stand and got homemade cupcakes. Then back to the hotel for more swimming. That night my Uncle Greg made his famous Spaghetti with Italian Sausage (it's THE BEST!!) and then we went to the Graduation celebration at the Tower. Ben thought it was SOO cool that the tower was lit burnt orange, then they had Fireworks!! The Kids LOVED it!!! Then off to the Hotel for bed FINALLY ;)

Sunday we ate breakfast at the hotel and then headed home, what a fun time we had!!

Ben's Preschool Graduation

My BIG Boy graduated from Preschool this past Thursday, I can't believe he's going to be starting Kindergarten in the fall. His preschool had an absolutely adorable program for the kiddos. They sand songs and they each got their names called to get their "diplomas". It was too adorable!! My little man was up there singing and dancin' his little heart out. Here are some pics we got, we also took video which we still have to fix up, then I'll post that too.

Kindergarten Registration

This morning we registered my baby (oops, I mean Ben) for Kindergarten. He is SO excited!! Mommy is too, if she could just stop tearing up!! ;) He can't wait to go to the Round-up and tour his school and meet the teachers~Yippee!! I can't believe my sweetie is starting school in the Fall!!!!

The GAME Ball!!!

This morning at Ben's T-ball game, he got THE GAME BALL!! He got it for having the best attitude, always cheering on his teammates and for getting a bunch of good stops on the pitchers mound and a couple of great hits!!
Ben was SO SUPER excited!!! Way to Go Ben!!

Western Day

Today was Western Day at Ben's school, he was SO excited to get to wear his western stuff. He was all decked out in his bandanna, cowboy hat, and awesome belt buckle~courtesy of Dad. Ben's teachers were way impressed with Daddy's creativity!!
Of Course Miss Emma Kate had to wear her pink bandanna today too!!

What a fun day he had eating hot dogs for lunch, having S'mores(hey where was mine? ;) ) and having red, white & Blue Popsicles for snack! All in all, he had a wonderful western day at school!!
