Another busy Saturday-

Today was another busy busy day... I missed Kain's game, but made it to Austin's right in time to see him up to bat. Seems like the batting coach is helping out a bit.. he's more confident and kinda using some of his techniques learned....he only stuck out once today..and the team lost 9-11. It was close!
Of coarse he doesn't let me get very many pictures... but I snagged a few after the game as the coach was talking to them.

 Can you spot him in the sea of red here?



Mela and Kain got some sunflower seeds and were happing eating them.

 Mela and I attended/participated in our 1st ever Fashion show.. One of my favorite stores asked if Mela would like to be in it when I stopped in to pick up her ballet and tap shoes.. *Children's Orchard.  Of coarse I thought it would be so fun for her. Takes me back to the days when Meme use to put us in those Fashion shows at the mall. Ha Ha Ha. Then they said I had to be in it because she was so little... That was fine as long as I got to be with her. She was dressed in a Lily Pulitzer dress, a pink flower hair clip and pink shoes (ours from Target, but they matched perfectly!). I was dressed in a JCrew dress and Steve Madden heels. The purse was some brand name I've never heard of with a silk scarf attached as well as a fancy bracelet. The total of the two outfits we were showing off totaled $560.00 retail. Buying from The Children's Orchard and Second Time Around (the adult version) it would have cost us more less than half of that amount. (probably well under $100). I'm going back to get those shoes! I loved those shoes!!!! It was so fun and Mela did not want to take off her "pretty" dress and she DID NOT want to give up her flower clip... she did eventually, but I will probably go back and get it for her.  She got a goodie bag with crayons, a coloring book, candy and a new water cup. I got a candle and more coupons to shop at the store! We also get to purchase what we wore with a 20% discount. We both had a lot of fun together.. They also had hair and make up too... We did not partake in that part.. I took care of ours. (Mela got some "lipstick" AKA, lip gloss) and we re-applied it a million, zillion times. 
Eric was able to stop by with the boys for a little bit before Austin's game. Later Austin told me he was kinda bored but he wanted to support me since I'm always there for him... Awwweeeww!


 Mela saw Eric in the crowd and was screaming and waving, "DADDY" I was hoping she wouldn't run off the stage!!!

Tonight Austin is having his 1st ever sleep over. He was SO EXCITED. I mean, SO EXCITED. It's with Quint, "Q".  He came home with me from baseball tonight and he was asking me... "Mom, are you going to miss me tonight?" and I said "Of Coarse" I'm never without you. He then asked, " Are you really going to miss me?" and I said of coarse, but I want you to have so much fun!!! 
He was counting the hours till I dropped him off. Kain was so happy for him too... He came with me to drop him off and he carried in Austin's sleeping bag. And he told him... "Have so much fun Austin and tell me about it tomorrow" It was so sweet. Kain is not yet in bed... but I wanted to spoil him a little bit.... so I let him make his own Ice-Cream Sundae. He went a little crazy. (We did this after Mela went to bed).
Now he has a full belly and is pulling that.... I can't sleep in my room without Austin card... I hope he does ok.. I know he doesn't like to be without him in the room. I know this because if Austin sneaks into our room in the middle of the night and Kain wakes up.. he wakes up screaming for Austin!
Here's to a good night's sleep... for us and Q's parents. (I think Austin will do great)! I told him to be on his best behavior... and he will get asked to do this more often. ..I miss him already... can't stop thinking about him. 

Happy Saturday!

Crazy Fun weekend....

What an amazing weekend! Friday started off with Austin in the talent show... I couldn't get many pictures because it was so dark. But he did great and we were so proud of him getting up there and doing his thing. He had a blast!!!!
Saturday was opening day at the BallPark.. Both Kain and Austin had games too. Both teams won. They Both Played great!!!!

 Mela was a trooper.. It was HOT and a long day at the park but she held in there.. pretty well. I said, "pretty" well....

 Sunday Mela started Tap & Ballet. She really loved it... Tap is her favorite. They played the song, "Happy" by Pharrell and she couldn't stop tapping!






























 Then we met up with the boys at the batting cages. They both have a batting coach. (Austin needs it, but Kain enjoys it too).










 Later in the day.. we hit the beach.. It was another beautiful 80 degree day!
