Miracle League... GO ANGELS!!! (And BRAVES!!!) Game 1

We are excited to announce that Baker has started playing ball!!! Our county has joined together and created a Miracle League and I am honored to be be apart of it!!! I really didn't thing that Baker would understand the game of baseball... but he sorta does! And he is learning more every game!

Thankfully we have a good Daddy!!! He is Baker's Angel in the Outfield and helps him bat and round the bases! At this point, Baker isn't into chasing balls and throwing them in, but he is into making his daddy run all around the field chasing him! Derek says he should lose lots of weight!! HA! Maybe I should swap places with him!! HAHA!! 

Here is a picture of Derek and Baker lined up at the first game!

 

And one of them waiting for a ball! 

 This is Brandon... he is on Baker's team too, And his helper was his cousin... and our cousin Jeremy! Please notice the Opp Baseball team who volunteered at the opening night to help! They were awesome!!! Proud of them for coming!! I have heard many say that they want to come back!!

Ok... I LOVE this picture of Coach Cassady!! 

This is the group picture from the First Game!!! 

And of course Baker's fan club... We are so blessed to have the love and support of our family and friends and church family!!! Baker has had lots of support from so many people throughout his life, but just seeing so many people come out and support him and all the other kids, makes this mommy smile!!!

Along the fence are the names of the players and I wanted Baker's picture with his name!! 

BUSY, Busy, Busy...

Well, I know that I haven't been faithful to my blog, and again, I am sorry. But life is so busy right now, and I plan on it staying busy for another 2 years, at least until I finish my Nursing Program! So far, Nursing is Great! I really love my teachers and love my new friends that I have made. Yes, it is hard and very challenging, but Hey, I am up to the challenge! I started my clinicals in a nursing home and I actually love that setting. I thought that that would not be a place where I would want to work, but I could see myself working where ever now! Being able to take care of any person really makes me feel good about myself! I always wondered what my talents were that God blessed me with. I love to teach, but with Baker, that has become a challenge to be dedicated to teaching Sunday School, and I love to sing... and you will usually find me with a song coming out of my mouth! But to feel like I have found my calling, really makes me feel blessed. I feel like I am already a better mother for Baker, and that was the goal in the first place! So Look out world... I may be taking care of you or your family one day!! ;)
    Now for the main reason people get on my blog... Baker!! I can't believe I am saying this, but tomorrow morning I am getting up and getting my son (who has beaten all odds) ready for his Kindergarten Screening...  I pray that he will go up there tomorrow and show out... and NOT act rotten (which he loves to be)! I know he knows his letters and number and colors and shapes and can count... but him actually doing it when they ask will be the challenge!! But I am ready for this new milestone! Baker loves going to preschool and he is capable of learning, so I am excited to see him grow!

Now for a few pictures from Easter... 

 This has sorta been a tradition... KayKay helps us color eggs!! 

Final Product!

Hulk and Spiderman Eggs... Baker has been on a Superhero kick!! 

I hope that you and your family had a Blessed Easter!! And I hope that you celebrated the meaning of Easter!

Christmas Day and Last Disney Day

 Santa even came to see us at Disney World!!! 

Maybe it was because we sprinkled Reindeer food on the ground!!!

Close up of the food!!! Thank you Sara Catherine for thinking of Baker and knowing he would need help for Santa to find him!!! 

But Mommy and Daddy forgot about milk and Cookies, so Santa had to settle for Pepsi and Cheese Crackers!! 

The tree that was already in the room with presents under it!!
