Time of the Year

Well, it is definitely the end of the school year because every thing is getting so busy!  Hayden has had two softball games since my last post, the one last Saturday she played the pitcher position and she did very well until she got hit in the top of the head with the ball, she never reacted...she still went after the ball and skipped back to her position.  I knew she was okay, but her Coach had to check on her and so did the other team Coach and all the umpires, and when they did she got embarrassed, being the shy girl she is and the tears started streaming down her beautiful face.  I felt so sorry for her, that I also had tears streaming down my face waiting for her to come off the field for a break.  However, I had my sunglasses on so no one even knew!  I always stay in the dug out, so I was right there when she came in and Mark immediately came over to check on her, she didn't want to go back in but we made her at least go to the out field position.  We don't want her to be scared.  She was fine after that and she practiced all weekend with Mark, catching the balls high and low!  Last night she had another game and she played in the out field between second and third bases and she did wonderful, as usual.  She had more plays than any of the other girls and she was very proud of herself.  She is doing such a wonderful job and it is so much fun to watch her.  I find myself counting the days until the next game.  Last night the Mudhens really played a good game, all of them.  It was very exciting and they almost won this one!  Even the girls were getting competitive in the dug out watching the score board! 

Gracie had her Easter Party at Preschool today, we had a little egg hunt and brought pizza and cookies for lunch.  She is such a sweetheart and very shy at school too.  Colton was a happy boy as always but since he has started crawling, he only likes his stroller for a little bit.  Gracie was very excited about all the candy she collected at her party today, which means when she takes a nap, Mommy will probably get rid of some of it!  Yes, I am mean...I throw away a lot of candy at my house!!!!  

She found lots of eggs!
