Baseball Season Has Begun!

We had a fun filled baseball weekend! We've had a lot of rain outs, so we had a couple games to make up over the weekend. Saturday, we ended up having 5 games (Emy's first game, and both boys had 2 games). It was crazy! Ashton played on Brayden's team since they were short a player, so Ashton ended up playing 1 game on Friday night and 4 games Saturday. We were all so tired (and sun burnt!) by the end of the day Saturday. Here's some pictures from their games. These pictures are from Brayden's team the Giants, when Ashton played with them. I didn't take any of Ashton's Pirates team (sorry, I was too tired!!! lol!) I will another day. =)

Brayden LOVES being catcher!

Strike! If you notice, his eyes are closed! Probably has something to do with missing it!

Emy's First Teeball Game

Emy had her first teeball game on Saturday. It was the funniest thing! She was SO excited, right when she woke up in the morning, she asked, "Am I going to hit first?" Here's a few pictures from her fun game.

She's ready!

Hilarious short stop

Running to try to get the ball

The other kids got it, so she got mad and threw down her glove - lol

Ready to bat! (But, she says she needs a "girl" helmet next time)

YAY Emy! She hit the ball... and just stood there. Everyone was yelling, "Run! Run!" and she looked over at Tony on first base and waved at him. It was hilarious!

Then, she listened and started running!

She was the last batter, so that meant that she hit the home run hit that sent everyone home. She got to run all the bases.

HOME RUN!

Playing with Daddy in the outfield.

With her team drink and sucker from her coach, she was a very happy girl!

Grace Point's Easter Egg Hunt 2009

Last night was our annual Easter Egg hunt at church. It was sooooo much fun! The weather was great and we were able to be outside!

Here's Kristi and Ema Burke... putting strings on donuts?!?! Hmmm, seems a little odd, huh? You'll find out why as you scroll down =)

Emy and Faith Griffin

Emy and her best friend, Elliot. This was Elliot's 4th birthday! Happy Birthday, Elliot!

Donut FUN!
The game was to see who could eat the donut the fastest, WITHOUT using your hands!

Steele Davies

Camron Lannom

Ashton

Emy missed out on her age group Easter Egg hunt, trying to play the egg on the spoon game after the game was already over... (sigh) (BUT, we did end up letting Emy find some eggs in her brothers' age group since she didn't get any in her own age group)

Tony cheering on the kids eating donuts

Happy Easter!

During clean up, we decided to put the left over donuts to use...

This is just precious to me...

Tony and Jerry Chandler finished the game... this is an hilarious picture.

They decided to do another picture, to make themselves look more "manly"

Brayden turned 8!

We had a few of Brayden's friends over last Saturday night for a fun game night and sleepover. They all had so much fun! We had 10 kids here including Emy! Shew! It was fun, though and they all obeyed very well. I was worried about them being up all night, but they all were alseep by midnight. =)
