Day 130

Happy Mother's Day!!!

It is also Brendan's Confirmation Sunday and Pop's 70th Birthday.

This is a photo that we had taken in the church right after the service.

More pictures to follow from this busy but blessed day.

Day 127

Brendan decided early on that he was not going to cut his hair until his middle school team lost a game.  Since they went undefeated, he was long over due for a cut.

The day after his birthday, JC took him to Great Clips.  Afterward, B let me take a couple of photos.

Our handsome young man...

Day 126

Brendan is 14 years old this year! I don't know how that's possible!

His middle school team played in the championship game on his birthday.  The game stayed tied up for a couple of innings.  I was a nervous wreck!  They ended up winning though.  This team was undefeated...16-0.  I'm so proud of Brendan and all his teammates.

I am sure this is a birthday that B will never forget!

Day 125

For May 5th, I am going to post a throwback of B since his 14th birthday is tomorrow!!!

Day 124

Monday night, Brendan's middle school team played in the semi-finals to determine who goes to the championship game.  It was such a close game, but we won!  These boys are still undefeated.  One more game to go, and it happens to be on Brendan's birthday.

Here is a photo I took in the first game of the tournament this past weekend of B and the umpire.  The same crew of umps called all the games so B quickly became friends.

Day 123

This weekend Brendan's team played up an age group in the toughest division of the Tennessee Super NIT in Kingsport.  The boys played great and went 4-1.  They came in 2nd to a much older team outside of Washington DC.

Very proud of these boys!

Day 118

Today was Brendan's last regular season middle school game.  They won 15-3 and are undefeated.  Such an exciting time...

My prompt for today is Perspective.  I like the cropped in feel of this photo.

Day 116

Shout Out...

This is a repost from the youth minister at our church.  Brendan went on his Confirmation Retreat this weekend to Lake Junaluska, and this is a photo of their group!

Day 113

Friends

Today these guys are playing on opposing teams.  It's way more fun when they play on the same team!!!

So far Brendan's middle school baseball team is still undefeated!

Day 112

Earth Day 2015

Emma drew this in her notebook, and I think it's awesome! 

Love Your Planet!

Also today Little League International posted this on their Facebook page and used a photo of Brendan catching from the Southeast Regionals in Warner Robins, GA.  Pretty cool!

Day 108

Today's prompt is our_everyday_moments...

This is our weekend...usually filled with both soccer and baseball during the spring.

Day 104

Open

So happy that the buds on our tulip tree have finally opened.

I wanted to post something a little different.  I intentionally went blurry here.

And just because that is also so random, here is another shot of B from this weekend.

Day 103

#vegetable

This one has been the hardest for me so far...I just couldn't really find anything interesting to capture.

So here is a photo I took at B's game today:

Day 101

Something you drew...

We are south of Charlotte this weekend for a baseball tournament so I am without art supplies.  I am no artist, however, so this works for me! :)

We started play last night with an 8:30pm game.  The boys just were not playing well, and we lost.  Here is a pic from last night's game.

Also today JC and Ben are running the Carolinas Spartan Sprint.  Here are the before pictures...

Day 98

#hair

I have always loved this photo of Brendan that I took during one of his All-Stars practices last summer.

Day 90

#sparkle

The water was so beautiful and sparkly when the sun hit it.

The boys got to go snorkeling.  The girls got to go banana boating!

I love these photos that Ben took with his new GoPro...
