So far this summer...

So far this summer, this is what we have been up to...

Slip n' sliding...

Grey served as the slip n' slid "monitor."

Enjoying popsicles with cousins...

Cannonballs...

just all around cuteness...

and buzz cuts...

SK sleeping in her new "Mac Daddy" of all strollers, more to come on that later...

Our oldest has spent the week at UAB baseball camp and consequently I have spent more time downtown at UAB than I probably should have.  As a side note to all our local baseball buddies, this is a great camp and I highly recommend it.  Cooper has had a great time.  I am so proud of him for doing this, it was totally out of his comfort zone.  He knew none of the coaches and had no friends doing this with him.  Now take Jacob and put him in a situation where he knows no one and he will totally thrive and come out with lots of new "best friends,"  Cooper on the other hand, not so much.  I am so proud of him and what he has accomplished this week.

They were teaching the kids sliding techniques here, great idea to combine that with water, thanks a lot coaches.  The boys loved it!!

Coaches hosing the boys down after practice one day, it's really been a fun week for Cooper.

On the last day of camp Cooper had his picture made with some of the coaches...

Coach Walker-Cooper was in his group each day for the morning session of the camp

Coach Polk, probably didn't mean as much to Cooper as it did to me, but he is a "hero" on the campus of Mississippi State University a former Bulldog baseball coach.

Coach Shoop-head coach of the UAB baseball team, also former head coach at Mississippi State, can't say enough good things about him.  He is all about forming character in these boys along with teaching them the game of baseball.  He speaks openly about his relationship with Christ, what and great role model he is for lots of boys and young men I am sure.

Hope you all are enjoying your summer, thanks for checking in on us.
