Last t-ball game

Elizabeth played her last t-ball game this past weekend.  I captured two of her at-bats and her running home (and not getting tagged out)!!  After her last game, the team celebrated at Dairy Queen with ice cream and awards!

 First at-bat of her last game

 Swing...

 And she's off and running!

 Last at-bat of her t-ball season

 She makes contact!!

 And she's off and running...

 Running home!

 She avoided getting tagged out!  

She's safe!!

 The league did medals this year.

She was SO EXCITED!!

Next year she will either do softball or coach pitched baseball (we haven't decided yet).

She LOVED playing t-ball the last two years and we are so thankful she loved her first team sport!

Happy Thursday y'all!

Selfies and Sisters

If you follow my insta-stories then you have probably seen several of these photos already (sorry).  The girls and I are into selfies, playing outside, having fun, and enjoying all these warm days.  Here is a recap of some of our selfies from the last few weeks.

 Elizabeth's love language is one-on-one time.

After our "camping" adventure, I took Elizabeth for some shoe shopping and pedicures.

 We went to a new nail salon in the mall and Elizabeth thought the pillow was awkward.

 But she still LOVED getting her pedicure :)

 From my instastory

 I tend to use the sauna at my gym every day.

Sometimes I take a selfie, sometime I don't.

This day I took one ;)

 She wanted a picture of "just her"

 Another day, another sauna selfie

 Being three is hard work.

She is so cute!!

 Took the girls to the pool and sent Ben this picture.

He was at work, so kinda mean, but I thought I looked cute :)

 See the catcher?
She's ours!

Love that girl!!

 

 My car reached 100,000 miles last week!!!

I was pretty excited and sent several celebration GIFs to my family :)

 Another day, another car nap

We were on our way to get ice cream after field day

 Elizabeth after field day!

 Caroline and I volunteered at Field Day.

We checked Elizabeth out when it was early and we went for ice cream at Sweet Frog!

 Look who woke up for ice cream!

 She loves taking the nature trail to the playground

 Our mommy-daughter time involves lots of playing.

Playing games, playing outside, building blocks, and making puzzles.

 Elizabeth and I drew some pictures while waiting for her doctor appointment.

She insisted I take her picture with her drawing :)

 I came downstairs one morning and found them like this.

 Do y'all SEE Caroline in her helmet???

 Another pool selfie sent to Ben.

Another swim suit :)

 Last weekend I ran the Mount Vernon Trail to the Lincoln Memorial

 Took some selfies to show my family I was half way done with my run

And a "I made it back to my car" selfie

Happy Wednesday y'all!

Camping

Over Memorial Day Weekend we attempted to take the girls camping for one night.  The below photos are the story of our failed attempt.  Enjoy!

 On our drive, we stopped for a picnic lunch at a scenic overlook

 

 Best picnic lunch photo ever.  Elizabeth jumped every 15 seconds because of bees and Caroline refused to eat the turkey sandwich she had requested. #keepingitreal #familyvacation

 After lunch, we hiked to the top of the overlook

 It was so beautiful!!

 

 

 Love our sweet family!

 

 Headed down the path, back to the car, and on our way to the campground

 I brought bucket and shovels and Caroline did this for 45 minutes while we set-up

 The girls tent is on the left and our tent is on the right

 Ben and I relaxing after unloading and setting-up everything

 Elizabeth was very fascinated with the fire ring

After Ben and I cooled off, we headed over to Ohiopyle to see a few waterfalls.

 

 

We walked from the waterfalls to a frozen yogurt shop to get " ice cream".

Ben snapped this photo, not sure what is happening...

After frozen yogurt we headed over to Cucumber Falls.

 

  

As we were leaving Cucumber Falls it started raining.

By the time we got back to our campsite, it was pouring and we had left everything sitting out (chairs, coolers, food, etc.)  The forecast did not call for rain and so we thought we were fine.

We decided to try to make a fire and spent about 80 minutes working on  it (I held an umbrella over Ben while he put the fire together).  While we did this, the girls ran around outside in the rain.

 After we ate our hotdogs in the car (it was pouring and all our camping chairs were soaked), Ben decided to walk up to the lodge to get a wifi signal and see what was happening with the weather.  The girls and I made s'mores and while we were eating them- the lightening started.

Both girls freaked out and ran into the car.

I started packing.

Ben came back and said we had to go because it was going to be severe lightening storms ALL NIGHT.

It took us 45 minutes and we threw everything soaking wet into the car.

We drove about 70 minutes to Ben's parents house (our house was 3 hours away).

We got in around 9:30pm, gave the girls showers to warm up, and I put them to bed.

Ben and his dad emptied the car and put everything out in the garage to dry:

We left the next morning after breakfast and spent almost five hours getting home as the storms NEVER STOPPED THE ENTIRE NIGHT.

I am thankful we had a great afternoon.

I am thankful the girls had fun.

I am thankful Ben's parents took us in.

I am thankful to be home in a warm, dry house. :)

Happy Tuesday y'all!
