I was tagged so here it is.....

I was tagged by my sister so here are 7 habits/facts about me:

1. I love the beach...I could actually be a beach bum & live on the beach all the time, but like my sister I will not get in the ocean.

2. I bite my nails, I have since I was a little girl & I probably always will & I can't stand it!!

3. I am very bad at returning phone calls. Ask anyone(my sisters) they will tell you, I never return phone calls. I don't know why it is just a thing.

4. I used to hate cooking but I am slowly beginning to like it, thanks to Rachael Ray!

5. I love my minivan, it is the best ride in the world & makes my life so much easier. I never want to drive another vehicle besides my van for the rest of my life.

6. I have to drink a Dunkin Donuts iced coffee every day!

7. The best thing about me is that I love being a Mom!!!!!!

Take me out to the ball game.......






Today was another great day at the ball fields. Noah had his first game this morning & they did a great job. It is so cute to watch the little kids play t-ball. They are so serious & try so hard. Way to go Phillies!!


Payton played his second game today against the Cardinals and yes...another victory. 6 to 4! Let me say it was a nail biter. Payton pitched for 2 innings and did fabulous & he got the last out for his team and saved the game. WAY TO GO PAYTON YOU PLAYED AWESOME!!! Enjoy the new pictures.

School pictures are in!!



School pictures are in! They turned out really good. Today is a big baseball day. Noah has opening day today & Payton has another game. We will let you know how it goes.

Painting Gavin's Room






Noah & I started to paint Gavin's room today & we had such a blast! The color is called Tulip & it is a nice yellow. Not too bright, just right. We are going to put the border along the middle of the walls in stead of at the top. I will post some more pictures as we get the room done. Payton helped us put the second coat on the walls & now the room is painted! It looks so cute & I can't wait to get the rest of it done.

Payton's 1st Communion pictures





Last night Payton had his 1st Communion pictures taken at our church. He looked so handsome. His 1st Communion Mass isn't until Saturday May 5th but they take the pictures before. Here is a little preview of how handsome he looks. I will update more pictures on the day of his mass.

I told you I would be back! Mom & Dad left yesterday to Italy for 3 weeks. We all hope they have a wonderful time. Opening day for Baseball is Saturday. Payton's team has their first game so I will update you with some pictures & how well they did. We got our teams uniforms last night & unfortunately the league is using the old Diamondback colors. Oh well.......
My first week off from work has been a busy one. Payton did spring training at Caravel Academy for baseball and he learned a lot. I started organizing my house (when I am not on IM with Donna) hee hee. We have the theme for Gavin's room, called cape cod, so we can paint as soon as we go pick a color. Very exciting!! I am trying to find some more pics to put on, that is my goal for today.
Bye for now
