we just back home from josiah's last travel tournament of the season. we still have another tournament in july but that is a home tounament. it was so hottt!!! the boys struggled through but they still had a lot of fun. josiah pitched four innings in one game before he was exhausted. he did well though. he played third in another game but that did not take quite the toll that pitching did. he hit 2 for 4 with a walk for the weekend. the team did not win any of their games but they had fun anyway. it was a real bonding time for all them.
playing third base
rachel and my niece kristen enjoying the game. well maybe! i think they just really like to watch the boys playing the game!
Aw, looks like your son had a blast!! I think my son would be good at baseball one of these days, he likes to throw balls (especially at lamps) :) adorable pictures!
Nothing like pictures of hometown baseball to warm an American heart! Sometimes I think there are more lessons in "not winning". Glad they built relationships through it!
Wow...5 children! You are immediately a hero in my eyes!
What great pics! I loved out of town tournaments! My daughter played soccer and basketball and it was always so much fun going away to play! You got some great pics!
Great pics! This post brings back memories of when our boys played baseball. Our oldest boy played from the time he began T-ball, continuing through high school. Our youngest played until he got to high school.
We spent many years that the ball field in all kinds of weather...cold, hot, rainy, snowy, muggy, foggy, etc. It was all good times, though! We really miss it...our boys are all grown up, now!
Ah the joys of baseball! I can smell the sweat all the way in Costa Rica and loving every minute of it.
Thank you dear one, for your kind comments on my blog. This truly is a new adventure so thanks for splashing me today with encouragement straight from His heart.
I remember those days so well. Time passes quickly, it just seems like yesterday we were doing this with our son. It's been 7 years since he last played ball in high school and summer league.
Those are awesome pictures! We've loved watching Alex play baseball this year...so cute when they're little! What a proud momma! He looks great out there! What fun memories :)
Christy, We are a baseball family, so I really liked this post. What league does your son play in? I'm guessing Legion? The boys looked big for Babe Ruth. I have coached boys from age 5 to 19 in baseball, and girls from about age 8 to 14 in softball. This is my first year in many to not coach. But I umped!
Watching the pics of your family made me think of my family through the years. I'm glad you are enjoying these years, they are wonderful. Good post. And congratulations on the award.
just some insights into my thoughts and feelings about my life and what God is revealing to me and how i am experiencing His grace and mercy in so many ways. please feel free to comment and share your heart here too. i'd love to hear from you. you never know whose life you just might touch with your insights as well.
My First Blog Entry March 27, 2009
laying my heart at the feet of Jesus well, here goes. not really sure how this is going to go but i do believe it is in my heart to begin to share some of the things that God is doing in my life and secrets that live in my heart. i've really been inspired by a blog that i have just begun to read by a young, sweet mommy (what she calls herself). happening upon her blog was not an accident but, i believe, a direction from the Lord. as i have read much of what she has written from her heart, i've been moved to tears and smiled a lot, enjoying partaking of what she has shared. wondering if anything that i have to share might move anyone as her writings have moved me, i thought that i just might let some of my heart be opened to those interested in hearing the secrets in the heart of a wife and mom who sometimes feels as if she might drown in the difficulties of raising five children if it weren't for my God who is ever so merciful and His Grace who is ever so powerful. as i write this, tears stream down my own face, thinking of some of the situations that i am laying at the feet of Jesus at this very moment in my life. this seems to make it plain to me that going forward with this new adventure of blogging may just be a way for God to continue to remind me of His love and His goodness toward me. open heart surgery, with God's love as the knife, that's kind of what it feels like. cutting away the dead, useless pieces and repairing it with His intense, unconditional love. i hope that a few people are touched and moved to sharing their lives as well by reading some of what i may reveal of myself as i continue to lay my heart at his feet and trust Him to keep it and make it whole.
i am a wife of 19 years to my wonderful husband, aaron. a mom of 6 precious children (josiah 17, rachel 16, olivia 14, amanda 12, jacob 3, & our newest addition, baby jonah, born may 18, 2011. my life is full and exciting as i depend upon God to empower me to take on the everyday tasks that are set before me. i love God with all my heart as He has revealed His amazing love for me. i love sharing many of the things He has shown me in a Bible study at my church. allowing Him to use me to unveil Truth is a very big part of my life. it is just all so "GOOD!"

Thanks for coming over to meet me. I do appreciate visitors and comments. I think you saw the youth group game time pictures I had shared.
You have two teens and 5 kids all together! Wow! That is so neat that they have a mom & dad like you and Aaron.
I enjoyed reading ten things about you. Congrats on the award/ challenge. Those are fun.
I didn't get to read much. Gotta geta kid ready for a camping trip. That means making cookies for him to take & checking his packing.
I'll be back,
