Baseball fun...

Chase was pitching to one of his best buds...Brandon

These next pictures were when Chase was pitching and he DOVE for a pop-fly and CAUGHT IT!!!! THEN>>>>>>>>>THREW A RUNNER OUT AT THIRD, FOR A DOUBLE PLAY.!!! It was crazy.....they are not good because I was right there and VERY excited and yelling while I was trying to take pictures. :)

He hurt his shoulder do that,,,,but I liked this shot..

These were cool shots from the Buchholz game....which was one of the best baseball games I've seen....There were amazing plays. It is on http://www.splashboxsports.com/ if you want to watch it.

Travel Soccer.....

Cait started to play on a soccer team after she finished with cheer. She is an awesome athlete. She gets all up in there..as you can see below. We are proud of her and the leader that she is on the field.

Xtreme Cheer Competition-UNF

Caitlin has been involved in a competitive cheerleading squad. They had their competiton at UNF in Jacksonville. They did not do the best they could have but it was fun to watch. Cait is looking good on top....

Third one to the right...

So cute...

Spring Break....

It is the first evening of spring break. We do not have any grand plans this year. I need to do some projects around the house. We have ballgames at the beginning of the week plus Cait and Ty are still in school. So we can't do much. I'm looking forward to sleeping some, playing some and relaxing :). PLUS, I have tons of pictures to go through. More to come.....

The cracking of the bats.....

I really enjoy basketball. I love football too but when it comes to the end of the season, I am ready for the next sport. It was the first game after basketball and I was at the field.....I heard the crack of a bat and I smiled to myself and thought..I love that sound. It has so many good memories attached to it. I love being on the other side of the fence and watch Chase be this amazing athlete and know he belongs to me....its weird. There is nowhere I'd rather be than sitting on silver stand...sometimes drinking coffee in my cocoon( sleeping bag) and the next game wearing a tank with sweat drippin'........I LOVE BASEBALL ESPECIALLY #7

D got the best seat in the house. He enjoys keeping the book for the team. He and G are wonderful, loyal fans!!!

My Runners....2011

River Run 2011 was a chilly start. This was Caitlin's first year. I call her the 'gazelle'. Tyler was excited to beat his time from last year and John was just a happy/proud dad!!!

They were making their way to the start line...Cait spotted among all the people!

Caitlin ran 9.2 miles nonstop in 1 hour and 37 mins :)

Tyler and John ran nonstop and crossed the finish line in 1 hour and 52 mins!

She was hardly breathing hard....still looking beautiful!

I'm so proud of these guys!!!

I have been helping train kids for the Jr. River Run and the Triathlon. I took this picture of them while we were watching my "Little Mavericks"

Life

Life is busy and I have not had much time to update. Baseball season is in full swing. We have 2-3 games a week and that is just Chase. We do not even ONE free evening during the week...and that is okay. We take advantage of every free second that we can just relax with our kids at HOME...we love that. This past Saturday, WE ALL WERE HOME AND GOT TO SLEEP AND JUST HANG OUT...well do yard work but still.......It was SO nice!!!!! Baseball pictures to come very soon. I got some good ones!

Happy Valentine's Day

I do not need to go into detail because if you read our blog and you obviously know me....YOU KNOW....I ADORE my husband. We have both had crazy times in our lives but we are meant for each other and I would do it all over again, if I knew he was my prize. We hung out with each other in St. Aug. I had a hurt neck/back..taking meds and he had sore legs and stomach from the marathon, what a pair. He treats me special all the time but it was still nice to have him all to myself. My wish is that everyone feels as loved as I do on a daily basis.

Varsity Football Banquet

Our Boys of Fall.........
What FUN!!!! It's so difficult to comprehen that I have only ONE more year to watch my son and his friends. I KNOW I will not be ok this time next year. I'm not ready, not in the least. I will as well as everyone else involved, savor every moment and memory. It has been a pleasure to be with our special families through the years... traveling to the fields...sitting in the stands...eating concession stand food...and 'high fiving' after awesome plays. To my senior players families.....it has been priceless! Come out next year to watch!! We'd LOVE to see you! Go Indians!!!!!

Chase was awarded a Second Team All Area award from the Gainesville Sun.... Evan too!!

I know it made it extra special that his dad was giving him the award. That is something he will never forget.

Chase also got Second Team All Area for the Clay Today. I AM SOOO PROUD!!

This was actually a funny moment....Chase's dad came out with Chase's leather letterman jacket on. It was a great moment for Chase!

SOOOOO HANDSOME!!!!

They've waited a long time for this moment. MANY HOURS PUT IN...
