Troy beats Auburn 6-3 Go Trojans! :)

Night out with Friends

We had a great night out with friends Friday. Our favorite band, Dr. Feelgood, was at Down the Street Cafe. We went out there for a little dancing :) Mark was on vacation for almost two weeks. It was so nice to have "off work" Mark at home. He is so relaxed when he isn't having to work at the mill. Lakyn and I left Saturday morning for a serious shopping trip with Aunt Cathy and Hannah. We bought tons of new cute summer clothes! It was a great time for all. The Bon Jovi concert is this week - Wednesday night!! We are so excited! Mark and I are going with our friends Jason and Emilie. This weekend is long weekend for Mark - so we are headed to the lake to soak up the sun! You should see lots of new pictures next week - I might even share one of Jon Bon Jovi!

Wow, time flies when you are having fun!

The crazy computer will not let me upload any photos to blogger, so you will have to go to the flickr site to see pictures. I haven't update the blog this week so I am playing catch up! We have been super busy! Baseball season is fun, but exhausting. We are never home and my house is dirty enough to prove it! Would anyone like to come clean my house while I am at a baseball game? Didn't think so, what kind of friends are you :) Here is our week in review! I have new pictures of sweet Camryn! She came to Byne's baseball game last weekend with her Mom and Dad! She had a great time, but did not last the whole game (needed a necessary nap for Michele's sake). I remember those days!

New pictures of Dalton catching for PCA! He is still playing 2nd base, but will be catching some depending on who is pitching. He is still loving PCA and baseball!

Lakyn returned from her cruise golden brown and looking four years older! They had a great time - we have a video of her swimming with the Dolphins which is really neat. Hannah and Lakyn have the neatest relationship! They are so much like sisters without any fighting. I am so thankful that Lakyn has her in her life - she is such a fantastic influence! Hannah came to our house after the cruise to visit. I think we bored her to tears with all our baseball and it rained so we couldn't go play tennis, but it was great to get to spend some time with her!

Lakyn's best friends Brittney and Troy turned 13 this month. They had a party and all the kids had a great time. I have lots of pictures from the party. I can not believe they are already 13 - time is flying by!

I am headed back to Troy, Alabama for ANOTHER baseball game! Have a great week everyone :)

She Made It!

Cheerleading tryouts were Friday! Lakyn and her friends worked so hard this week getting ready and they all did a great job! Lakyn had to leave right after tryouts to go on a cruise with Aunt Cathy, Hannah, and Uncle Tom. She did not have time to wait around to check the list, but I called her as soon as I saw the list. She was soooo excited that she made it and that all her friends made it to. She is now celebrating in Cancun - LUCKY GIRL! I am very proud of all her hard work! GOOD JOB GIRLS!

Easter Sunday

We had a great Easter! We went to church with MawMaw and then home for a GREAT lunch cooked by my sweet husband. Kyle, Lakyn and I went to play tennis while Mark, Byne and Dalton went to practice baseball. It was a great day to play outside. We were so excited to have all four children home for this Easter. That is the first time they have all been home at the same time in a long while. It was a GREAT day! :)

Tennis with the Family

We went to play tennis today and had a GREAT time! Byne did beat me AGAIN, but it was still fun! Please take notice of his intense celebration at the victory in the third picture (playing the air guitar on his racket)! More pictures on the flickr site! Lakyn is getting much better - I am impressed with her progress. Kyle came and played in jeans??? It was a beautiful day!

Troy vs Auburn Game

Troy played Auburn on Tuesday evening. It was a great game, but not the desired outcome. Troy lost 6 to 4. We will play Auburn again in Auburn on April 29th. Hopefully we will beat them next time! Byne had a great cheering section for this game (MawMaw, Mema, Pops, Aunt Kay, Uncle Jerry, the Hughes, the Johnsons, Cayla, Lakyn, me and Mark), but he did not get to play. Lakyn is so funny - she does not attend the games to watch baseball, but she really was ready to see Byne. She asked all throughout the game, "We will go eat with Byne after the game, won't we!" She was excited to get to spend some time with him. Distance makes the heart grow fonder, even between brothers and sisters. Byne has another game this evening, so back to Troy!

Dalton's 16th Birthday!

Dalton turned 16 on March 11th. I took a personal day off of work so we could spend the whole day together and go get his license. We arrived at the Prattville DMV at 8:00 only to find out that we were number 6 on the list. Guess what? They only take 5! We then hurried to Montgomery, because Mom was on a mission. We went in and got our number (17) and sat for about 45 minutes. They then announced that it was raining and no more road tests for the day! Dalton and I were both disappointed, but nothing breakfast from Chappy's Deli could not fix :)! We went to see Mema and then I took Dalton to school for baseball practice after asking his Dad to take him for the test again the next morning. Mom could not take any more time off of work! He passed the test this morning and was so excited! He drove to church tonight and made it home safe and sound. As his Mom, I am excited for him, but at the same time very nervous. Letting go is hard to do! Happy Sweet sixteen my sweet, sweet baby boy. Momma loves you!!

Dalton's Game

Camryn and Michele came to Dalton's game in Luverne on Monday! It was so good to see them again. Camryn is getting so big and Michele is 4 months pregnant. Camryn kept saying, "I am watching Dalton hit the ball, and catch the ball, and throw the ball - where is Lakyn!" She just talks, talks, talks and is sooo cute! She loves that Dalton and was very sad that Lakyn did not come to see her!

I miss seeing them everyday!
