Walkers' Trail

Our family has now moved on to OSU baseball and golf.  Their seasons both ended wonderfully!   OSU was able to host both the Regional and their first-ever Super Regional for baseball.  Jason bought tickets to both series!   He went with my dad...   We all went... sitting apart...   this is the "required" goofy photo for those taking pictures with young elementary boys.  It's a "must" at all photos sessions!  :)   We cheered loud!   We took home a pop fly!!!!   We sat together!   this is one of my favorite recent photos.  Both truly happy! The Pokes won the Regional but came up a little short to earn a trip to Omaha.  Better luck next year, Cowboys...   This happened during the last game of the Super Regional. The man in the middle is one of my dad's best friends from college, who adores "Fred,"  my husband, and they went to the game together....

Bedtime cuddles  Kyle and Jason's head coaching team - the Braves - ended up in 2nd place out of 11 teams this year!   woot woot!!! that's a pretty cute twosome right there.

This is what happens when a rainstorm interrupts baseball practice - the boys scurry to Jason's covered truck bed!  Hudson, Max, Grant, Parker and Nathan   One of our favorite things to do during the summer is go to the local drive in movie theater.  There are only about 2 or 3 movies showing this summer that we declare acceptable for young eyes so we started the summer off with Rio 2!  Jason and Bubba were at the baseball game and GG came with us.       This was my shopping cart at the beginning of last week.  Look how healthy we were! The clean eating lasted for a solid three days. I cheated on day four, then a lot on day five... but at least I had all of this other stuff mixed in! I declared the kale disgusting and haven't opened the almond milk yet... at least I am trying!   Aunt Kelly came to watch Grant's baseball game.  She gave us money to go get ice cream and here we are enjoying her gift...

A fun girls night! Mom and I went to see Derek and Juliane Hough in concert. They danced. They sang. They danced some more.   SOOOOO good.  They're just both darling and I love that they're siblings!   We get to see each other a lot but not just us two so it was a great getaway evening.  Doesn't she look like my older sister?  Not a wrinkle (and no treatment for them!) on that face!   I took so many pictures but most were blurry.  They had fun costumes and a great arrangement of entertainment.  My mom was even one person away from Derek (which means I was two people away!) when he came in to the audience and picked the older lady from the row in front of us to dance with him!  He's cute and pretty darn buff.  Juliane is just as cute as can be.   Success!

This guy thought he would be welcome in our yard....   ....We had other ideas....
