"If you spend the majority of your days in the company of babies, toddlers, tweens or teens, then your happiness will be directly proportional to your ability to laugh often and enjoy the chaos. The child-rearing years, in particular, are meant to be hectic, playful, and fun!"

Preston's 8th Birthday!

Preston wanted to play baseball for his birthday party.  I was all in as it was August 5th.  I was largely pregnant and already dilated.  I figured if I was in the hospital the grandparents and Brad should be able to handle it.  Plus, I wouldn't have a mess of boys running around the house.  We served traditional ball park fare with hotdogs.  And for birthday favors I gave each a water bottle to put water or gatorade in and bubble gum.  They all brought their gloves and we had balls and bats.  I love summer birthdays!
Braeden brought his buddy Jacob along to help keep him company.
Preston and his friend and classmate Blaise.
We gave Preston a much needed new baseball glove and a brand new bat!

We even had MN Twins cupcakes.
Preston's sweet shirt from Uncle Mike.  Uncle Mike always finds the coolest shirts!
Clara loved it as she could play at the park adjacent to the baseball field.  She took off like a flash (as she always does) right for it.  Check out her cute little lady bug dress Gammy made (Clara loves ladybugs).
