Our Weekend

Heath played baseball in Southaven this past weekend. The boys always enjoy playing there because of the level of competition. Saturday was a tough day for the Jakes (the baseball team that Heath plays with). Our first game was at 9:00 Saturday morning, which was very early for the boys. We lost our first two games and they were heart breakers. However, the Jakes were ready to “represent” after their losses. They won the third game of the day opening the door to the Consolation Bracket. Somewhere between dinner at Hooters ( a little scary, but it’s a tradition), pillow fights at the hotel, a football game in the hotel parking lot and Heath getting his front tooth knocked out, a decisions was made. The “Come Back Kids” won both games today to get the victorious trophy. Victory was definitely sweet for us all.
So, you may be wondering what Kyle was doing during the excitement… As always, Kyle was a busy little bee. Saturday, Mrs. Pat (Chris’ Mom) and Scotty (Chris’ Brother) were nice enough to have an all day play date with him in Grenada. Sunday Mrs. Pat brought Kyle to the fields in Southaven. He made his grand entrance in an Ole Miss Jersey, baseball pants and baseball cleats. He told Mrs. Pat that he was a “baseball team” and had to wear his baseball stuff. As you can see from the pictures, he looked adorable. There are several MSU fans on our team and they were profusely aggravating him about being a “Dawg”. A lady told Kyle to say, “Go Dawgs” and his come back, “No, I Hotty Toddy Rebel!!!” Yes, that was a very proud moment for us. Another proud moment occurred when we found Kyle doctoring on a caterpillar he found in the mud. After cleaning the caterpillar, Kyle gave the caterpillar a ride on his hat. Literally as I was thinking, “he is just the sweetest little boy” he shows me where the poor caterpillar was put to death by Kyle. My thoughts were quickly altered, “You nasty little boy.”
With all that said, we had a great weekend with our “Baseball Family” and our precious boys and as always our Dear Uncle Bob.
Question:
Does it ever amaze you guys how you can have enough love to love your kids the way you love them? I was thinking on the way home tonight that my cup completely runs over with love for my boys and for my husband. I truly couldn’t ask for more than what the Lord has been so generous to give to me.
Until next time Bloggers, hug your kids and tell them how much you love them…they are such an amazing, beautiful gift.
God Bless You All
