{Sometimes you have to step outside of your comfort zone}......to realize how AMAZING you really are. I love this this ball player of mine.

{I've missed so much}....HAPPY GREEN DAY.  He's my mostly nice but sometimes naughty little leprechaun. Watch out he likes to pinch.

First Day of Fourth Grade....BE YOURSELF i mean like really always BE YOURSELF. Let people see the real, imperfect, flawed, quirky, weird, beautiful, magical person that you are. You are a strong little man. I love being your mom.

It's the FOURTH OF JULY 2017....and I'm proud to be an AMERICAN where at least I know I'm free and I won't forget the men who died who gave that right to me and I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today. Cuz there ain't doubt  I LOVE this land.... God bless the U.S.A. We are lucky....not just lucky, blessed to life in such a great place.

We played hard this weekend....and not baseball if you can believe it.  The little man got dirty, ate way to many treats, drank to many sugared sodas and set in a hot tub for hours until his little fingers and toes looked like a raisin. Memories...make life happen. More to come on our little mini trip.

Some say it's just a GAME...i beg to differ. That little number 4. He's a tough one. Stubborn. Does not like to be told what to do. Sings to his own tune. I will never apologize for him being competitive. Life is a competition. Successful people are competitive. However, you cannot let it define you. Tonight was a rough one at little league. He hates to lose and we were playing one of the better teams in the league. He struck out (not once but twice), he was mad and kind of made a scene. I felt a little bad for him because he kind of can't contain it when he gets angry. My point is kid...it's ok to be competitive, but you need to have fun while your doing it. You can't win every at bat or every game. Live life to it fullest but with a SMILE. I have loved a couple number "4's" over the years.

If you don't know me....well I am a huge baseball lover. I am a mom of boys. Family of four. Did I also mention...I LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY. Capturing moments that we will soon forget. I WALK. I LOOK. I SEE. I STOP. I PHOTOGRAPH. Many reasons for this passion. My grandma, my dear grandma that passed away this last year left behind closets full of priceless scrapbooks, pictures, memories of the life and the people she loved.  I chose to carry on that legacy.  WELCOME to my journey. I could eat him up. He completes me and makes me happy.
