What we've been doing on our Friday nights...

We somehow got roped into a softball team over the summer with almost Scott's entire family as our team (minus a few who were smart to steer clear of the sign up sheet). We actually had a great time playing together and it was fun to do something different; boy were we a bunch of mis-fit toys in wonderland. We had one injury after the other which only reminds us all that we should leave the organized team sports to the next generation - we don't heal as quickly as we used to.

Never the less, we did pretty good and were able to stick it out and make it through to the 2nd round of tournament games but then lost miserably and went down in a ball of flames to the tune of 24-4... YIKES!


Unfortunately Scott had to work the night we took this photo at our last game... he was there in spirit!

Our team captain - or the guy who *made* us do this - is Steve and he is the one kneeling with the goofy "thumbs-up smile" (and yeah, that's me next to the goof ball!) and he is our niece's hubby. He also just so happens to be best buds with the tall guy in the center of the back row... that's Eugene "Wildkat" Edgerson who plays for the Harlem Globetrotters... pretty cool!

Whoa baby, it's been a lonnnng time!

OK, here we go... my attempt to play catch up... Scrolling down you see it was just a few posts ago that I was so proud of my new lil 2nd grader. Well as time so often does it just flew right by and we just wrapped up 2nd grade year... watch out 3rd grade. As tradition in our house here is Sam's mini shoot commemorating her 2nd grade year.

Someone had a birthday...

Albeit almost 6 months ago, but better late than never. Samantha turned 9 years old in January and I cannot believe how big she is. Every once in a while I will catch a glimpse of her and just think to myself...WOW, you are all mine...I get to keep you forever!! I love that she is in our family and it would not be the same without her.

Wee little princess...

Oh man, where does one begin to describe our little peanut. For starters I still get a kick out of the random folks that ask me almost weekly what the age difference is between the B's... then the genuine look of shock and awe when I tell the unsuspecting person that they are in fact twins. Let's see...what else about Brooke... -She bounces EVERY where she goes...she can never just walk places she has to twirl, bounce, you name it -She is the most amazing UNtrained dancer EVER...at least that's what her Grandma Herrick would say! -She has the most loving heart I have ever witnessed...loves and cares so unconditionally -Wants to be just like her big sister in the worst way -Has my chin...and it's soooo cute! -Her prayers will melt your heart...no joke! -Still prays everyday that her Grandma will be strong and healthy and we don't dare correct her -Always wants to be on the go and constantly asks to go to the mall -Has the sweetest bond with her bro and I...
