This Saturday was Opening Day at the Ballpark, and my little calendar (Preston) has been counting down the days!\u00a0 He LOVES baseball and was so excited to get the season started.\u00a0 This is his second year of 5-pitch and I thought I had everything ready for him…<\/p>\n

Black shirt-check<\/p>\n

Black socks-check<\/p>\n

Black belt-check<\/p>\n

Black hat-check<\/p>\n

Gray pants-there were some clean pants in the drawer, so CHECK<\/p>\n

As Preston was getting dressed about 20 minutes before he had to leave, he started to panic a little and he said, “Mama, I think these pants are too tight!”<\/p>\n

I looked at him and my poor baby was sucking in with all his might to get his pants buttoned, and there was no way it was going to happen.\u00a0 I am very familiar with that feeling and it’s not a good one!\u00a0 I could have let him borrow my “bella band” or taught him the dance I do to get my pants up and buttoned, but I decided he would not appreciate it at this time.<\/p>\n

I realized that the clean pants from the drawer were from t-ball and there was no way he could wear them at this point.\u00a0 Being the good mom that I am, I dug through the DIRTY CLOTHES in order to find his “good” pants.\u00a0 My poor baby boy had to wear FILTHY DIRTY pants to his first game!<\/p>\n

What a good mom I am!<\/p>\n

Despite the dirty pants, his team WON and he did a wonderful job!\u00a0 My boy loves sports and there will be many more baseball pics to come.\u00a0 Here are a few from opening day…of everyone.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Preston’s biggest fans, his cousins, watching him play.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We watched Preston’s game, my nephew Caleb’s game, and then my nephew Garrett’s game.\u00a0 It was an absolutely beautiful day and we were at the ballpark for over 5 hours.\u00a0 We all had a blast, but we hit meltdown point as we left.\u00a0 When we got home I realized that my sweet baby Georgia was SUNBURNED!!!\u00a0 Another stellar mom moment!\u00a0 It wasn’t horrible, but her face (which was covered almost the whole time) was a little red.\u00a0 She is my most fair child and I guess I am going to really have to watch it!<\/p>\n

This is what the girls did at the ballpark.<\/p>\n

Georgia was passed and passed and passed from friend to family to friend and she was so happy!\u00a0 She slept all day long.\u00a0 It was wonderful!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>She also had a very in-depth conversation with her Aunt Kara.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>LK and Pinky just played and ran and giggled all day with their friends Paige and Laura.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>And they ate yummy baseball cookies made by Aunt Sugar.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I have to brag on my nephew, Caleb.\u00a0 He is 4, but the boy knows what is going on in the field.\u00a0 He had a great first game…and thus got to enjoy…a great first snowcone!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Here is a shot of Caleb’s 2 biggest fans…his daddy and his little sister, Laurabeth.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It was a fun day.\u00a0 My sweet boy did such a great job!\u00a0 I am so glad we all enjoy the ballpark, because we have many years of baseball to come.<\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Sunday night, we got together at my parents’ house to cheer for the Lady Bears!\u00a0 GO BAYLOR!\u00a0 It’s been a great year for Baylor, and my girls are always looking for a reason to wear their cheerleader uniforms!<\/p>\n

The little Baylor Bears…<\/p>\n

Truett, AnnaLeigh, Caleb, Laurabeth, Preston, Georgia, Lilly Katherine<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The serious game watchers…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The not-so-serious game watchers.\u00a0 Georgia’s eyes look crazy, but this was the only pic of my THREE girls. :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Aunt Sugar (My brother-in-law’s sister, Anne) made these cute Baylor dresses for Georgia and Laurabeth.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Maniac!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>HEEEEEEEY SIC ‘EM BEARS!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Congrats Baylor women on an exciting win!<\/p>\n
