Insta-Friday

So many activities and goings on this past week... so many pictures taken... so little free time to share them all.  Here are my favorites from my Instagram account this past week.

Pool time with my baby girl... always a good time.

best buds sharing food after swimming.  These two are an absolute mess.  I have a feeling the twos are going to be insane with these little ones.

Savannah's first season of softball is officially done.  It ended with a fun swim party and trophies at the coach's house.  Savannah is already asking when the next season starts.  Love that she loves playing ball.

Waiting in the car for sissy to get out of school is getting more and more difficult with this little man.

Savannah and her besties.  These little girls have been so supportive of each other this year... I am so beyond thankful for this friendship.  It made Savannah's days at school so much more enjoyable.

G-ma, this next picture is for you... a preview of my newly dyed (very light) hair.

We started the packing for SD process this past week.  Savannah started with her American Girl doll Alice... oh my, she wanted to pack everything for that dang doll.  I finally had to sit down with her and explain that the doll did not need an outfit for everyday.  We got it narrowed down to a handful of outfits, some shoes, and accessories.  Alice is now officially the first member of the family to be packed and ready for the road.

A Season Of Learning

This season has been a huge adjustment for Savannah.  She moved up from t-ball to girl pitch softball, real base running, real fielding, learning and trying every position... it was overwhelming at first.  Now that she has been at it for several weeks and has nearly ten games under her belt I can see some definite improvement.  Makes me so happy to see all her hard work at practice finally starting to pay off.  I am pretty sad to see the season coming to an end... and I know Savannah is too.  All of the girls on the team are playing well together and having so much fun.  I love that in the dugout they yell these crazy cheers when their teammates are at bat (totally reminds me of a scene out of A League Of Their Own). I have tried for several games to get video of them cheering, but hearing them over the wind has been impossible.  So you can semi appreciate the cuteness of these girls rooting for each other, I am going to just type out the cheer.  It's not the same as hearing them, but you'll get the idea.

My name's (insert name) and you know what I got?

I got a team that's hotter than hot.

Grand slams and home runs too,

We're gonna beat the woopsies out of you.

Yeah you, yeah you, the woopsies out of you.

We don't play with Barbie dolls, we just play with softballs.

We don't drink lemonade, we just drink Gatorade.

Pretty funny, right?!?  There are others, but I don't know them all.  All in all it has been a great season.  Savannah's skills have significantly improved, she is having a blast, and her confidence has sky rocketed.  It's amazing how much she has grown up in just one season.

Her favorite position is pitcher.  She gets crazy nervous when she batting and all eyes are on her, but she is cool as a cucumber when she is pitching and all eyes are on her.  Girl loves it.

Her least favorite position... catcher.  Her complaint was that the gear was heavy and loose on her.  I enjoyed watching her play catcher.  I didn't think that she would be able to throw the ball all the way back to the pitcher, but she did.  Eric and I were both pretty impressed. 

Practice, Practice, Practice

Savannah's softball season is just getting underway.  This is her first year moving up from t-ball and her first year playing actual softball on an all girl team.  The skill level that some of the girls on her team are at is insane.  Savannah has a lot of catching up to do.  I wish we would have moved her to the softball association a lot sooner.  So now, any chance we get we are needing to use it for practicing.  The good part is that Savannah likes to practice.  She begs us to go out back and work with her.  I am sure by the end of the season we are going to see a lot of improvement in Savannah's skills.  

These pictures are from Easter afternoon.  I love that she was practicing in her Easter dress.  I say it all the time... she is the girliest tomboy.

Eric had to go get a face guard to put on Savannah's helmet.  Since most the girls out there playing are pitching for the first time, it can get a little dangerous.  Their pitches are all over the place.
