First

Last week this little lady got her very FIRST tooth.

We were so happy for our baby girl, but a little bit sad, too.  Like her daddy said, "that's our baby."

 

 

Big sister had her FIRST day of school on Wednesday this week, and no one was sad about that!  All smiles around here for Miss Lila Lou.

We are so excited about her awesome teacher and know that she is going to learn so much this year.  She's the big girl on campus.  Hey now!

 

As she told her grandparents the other night, "I've got all my peeps in class with me."  Ha!  Love this kid to pieces. She's right, too!  She's got Brooklyn B., Calley, Henlee and Brooklynn S. 
So much fun. 

Jackson started playing on a new team this season.  All of us went to cheer on the Dallas Wildcats at their FIRST game on Tuesday night.  Go Wildcats!

He rolls deep and travels with plenty in his fanclub.  In attendance for the first game were Boom, Maddie, Uncle Andrew, Aunt Maria, Memaw, Poppi, and of course his sisters and parents.

He's playing big boy ball now.  They can steal bases, it's kid-pitch, etc. 
Time to get your game face on, for sure.  His buddy, Gage is on the team with him this year.  Gage's dad just happens to have a sports photography business, www.FocusedOnFun.com, and very nicely takes amazing pictures of all the kids for us. 

 

Fly-ball practice before the game.



We had announcers and music before the game began, too.  So cool! 
Batting third for the Dallas Wildcats, #24, Jackson Haaaaays!!!

Since it's kid pitch, there are more balls than strikes sometimes.  J man walked his first two times up to bat.  He stole second both times...

and then was on to third base.

He played third base the whole time, another FIRST, until he got called in to pitch at the end of the game.  That was a FIRST that he'd probably like to forget, but he tried his best.  It was hard to watch, but he got through it.  Not all firsts are fun, but it builds character. 

#24 scored twice, but the Wildcats lost 8-9.  So close!  Stay tuned for more fun baseball, soccer, gymnastic and dance updates.  We are so crazy busy this fall, but having a ball.
