Ball Season

Baseball season is in full swing and with two boys playing, we're at the complex almost every night of the week! Eli is in his second year of little league and he's having a great season. His batting has picked up some and he's made some very nice plays. He plays second base and pitcher. Each night when he is finished playing, I am amazed at how dirty he is. I'm not sure if you can tell from the picture below, but he was grubby dirty! When he got home from practice Saturday, I could hardly see him for all of the dirt. I guess it will just help him grow!

Max is having a great time, too. He is in his first year of Minor League. In typical Max fashion, he's having a ball! He is playing pitcher and loving every minute. His cute little attitude and hyperactivity is so much fun to watch! He's even managed to hit a few homers!

Oki is no fun for me at the ball park since she's such a little busy body, but she loves being there. I've included a few pictures...Hope to have more soon!

Dirty Boy!Max at the plate...and in the dugout...


Believe it or not, she was clean when we got to the ballgame. She "had" to have a ring pop...it ended up on her shirt!!!

Girl, I'm glad to see some other children with a little dirt on them! Mine STAY that way! I feel like it's useless putting Sawyer in a clean shirt! I can only imagine how much fun it is to watch your 2 play ball! I enjoy baseball in general, so I know it's fun watching your sons play! They couldn't be cuter, and sweet oki is a doll-looks JUST like her mama! PLEASE come see us this summer! I'd love it! :)

Fun, Fun, Fun!!! Baseball is my all time favorite sport and I'm like Ashley, it must be even more fun watching your own play! I can't wait til Jack can play. I guess I'll be his coach since his Daddy's not a ball player! Good to see your sweet children. Let's get together and go to Ashley's one day this summer!

Makes me look forward to those 'ball' days with my boys. Growing up in a family with three brothers, I was always playing the 'boy' sports with them. Before there was a softball league in Andalusia, I played on the Midget League baseball team with my brother, Scotty, and ALL the rest of the boys!!! It didn't bother me what-so-ever. I was still girly, too! :) Fun times, and GREAT memories! JP will be able to play t-ball next year! Can you believe it? Time flies!

That Oki is the cutest thing ever!!!! You should have named her Samantha, Jr. She was carved right out of you!!!!

Precious pictures of all your babies!!

Happy Birthday, Oki!

I can hardly believe it...Our Okianna Grace turned two on June 16 th . We celebrated her birthday at a family gathering on Father's Day. She had a blast and so did we! If you're wondering about her finger...she swiped some icing before we sang Happy Birthday. This is a picture from her actual "birthday", June 16 th . If anyone had asked me a little over two years ago, I would never have guessed that were about to have a little princess in our lives. My dad was the only one that "knew". When our doctor said, "It's a girl!" Wayne and I really couldn't believe our ears! We were that convinced that we were having a boy; even though , looking back now I see that her pregnancy was completely different from the boys'. She's definitely been a blessing, albeit a quickly moving, demanding, and whiny one, but none the less a precious, angel girl blessing...

We're Still Here: An Update from the Russell Family

I know I'm way past due for an update! There is no excuse, just plain procrastination on my part! Don't get me wrong, I've been busy, too! Anyway, we've not had any real excitement around here since Christmas, but I did want to share a few pictures of my precious ones... Kayla recently brought Oki some tap shoes. She has enjoyed tapping away. I guess we are going to let her take from Mrs. Sellers next year. For months, Eli and Max have been building wooden cars during RAs at church on Wednesday nights. A few weeks ago they got their chance to see how fast their cars were at Ino's Pinewood Derby. Sadly, Max's car didn't win in his division, but we're so happy that Eli's got second place in his division. Since Eli's car will race again, his wasn't available for pictures... These pictures were taken one afternoon recently while the children and Kayla were outside riding the golf cart. When you have older children like our boys, Eli and Max,...

We need your help! Wayne and I are thinking about the possibility of purchasing a digital SLR camera. I know a few of my blogging friends have one, so here's a chance to give us some advice on what to buy. Don't worry, we do plan to do our own research...but, we would like to hear from you. Thanks in advance for your input...
