Spring has arrived

Nothing replaces the excitement of spring little league baseball. I can't help but smile everytime I drive to the baseball fields. The sounds of excited parents and focused players and the peanuts and sunflower seeds. Spring baseball- I am not sure who likes it more me or Sam. We play two games a week and add in a practice- it IS what we do. I am not sure if it is my favorite sport because it is fun or if it is the easiest to entertain the girls- food and a fence seperating them from the field. Sam is not the best player but he LOVES it and looks forward to every game.

Memory Making

The crew that came over after grandma's funeral-- I am positive Grandma was smiling in heaven as we all got together and enjoyed each other. My church group provided dinner Saturday night for this entire group. We are so blessed by our ABF that coordinated and provided for us in this time! We had so much fun visiting and relaxing on the patio with our family.

The Great Grankids- the upstairs looked like a tornado but they had so much fun.

My Cousins--- me, Krystal, Betty, Clint, Kevin, Monica, Tonya, and Tracey- there are 4 missing but we had so much fun catching up. I don't think I have been to sleep before midnight since last week.

Grandma Quinn

I love this picture of my Grandma Quinn, my mom and all five grandkids. My Grandma went to join my Grandpa in heaven yesterday afternoon. We are all a little in shock but we know that she was at peace about it and we know she is dancing on the streets of gold with our Heavenly Father.

I keep singing the song by Chris Tomlin "I Will Rise" Here are is the chorus:

There's a peace I've come to know

Though my heart and flesh may fail

Theres an anchor for my soul

I can say "It is well"

And I will rise when he calls my name

No more suffering no more pain

I will rise on eagles wings

Before my God I fall on my knees

And rise

I will rise

Mavs Madness

We went to the Maverick Game Friday night with the Boyscouts. We had such a good time- well actually they all lost intrest when we ran out of food and snacks. So we lasted about an hour and a half. Caroline loved walking up to the American Airlines Center- she loved the lights in Victory Park and kept say "I go there? I go there?" She was so excited- life through the eyes of a two year old is so refreshing! Sam

Emerson- yes- of course she wanted to wear her pearl necklace with her outfit- this was taken right before I told her no that this event wasn't fancy enough for pearls.

Best Cake Icing- EVER!

I made cupcakes last night just so I could try this new recipe. I found it on Pioneer Woman. It is seriously the BEST Frosting recipe I have ever eaten. I usually bake and then pass them out to my neighbors just so I can get them out of my house. I can't quit eating these- they are that delicious. I have no self control! You should definetly try them! I know it sounds weird to have real sugar and flour in a frosting recipe but you have to try it to believe it!
