This is the first of many posts that I foresee that involve Ty and playing baseball. He was held off a long time as he never played Little League or any sort of organized baseball before this fall. At age 8 he is playing on a select tournament team with his daddy as coach and he loves it! Following are a few pics from last week’s games.
Next week I will try to find somewhere to take photos other than through the chainlink fence. It is hard to get action shots when trying to avoid the fence!
One year ago today this was your chubby little self just minutes after you were born.
And 12 months later…
Actually these were taken when you were 11 months, but my how you have grown and changed. We can’t wait to celebrate with you this weekend. You have added so much to our family with your spunky personality. We pray all God’s best for you.
We didn’t even know it was Grandparent’s Day until Heather called to invite us to dinner. Of course we said yes and enjoyed an evening with our in-town grandchildren. They are so busy with football, school, baseball etc. it was nice to see them all in one place at one time. I guess we did have lunch with them that day as well! My one request on Grandparent’s Day was a photo of Steve and I with the Hodge boys….Thanks guys!
I also took a picture of the boys with the other grandparents. 
Billy, Betty Ruth and their grandchildren.
Mimi and Noah.
We enjoy spending time with the Hodge and Brown families.While in Austin we attended Kylie’s soccer scrimmage….from 11:30am – 1pm, in 108 degree heat! Kylie and the other soccer girls are tough. Following are some photos from the scrimmage.
Kylie was all over the field playing several positions including goalie. She is a great soccer player!
When we came home she showered, had a snack and was talking to Shauna and I as we were going through some boxes and next thing we knew she was sound asleep…..a well deserved nap.
Not exactly a housewarming as yet, but by next weekend everything should be ready to entertain guests at the new Alexander home. I did not see the “before” state except in a few pictures but I can imagine all the changes that Shauna and Mark made so that their home would be updated and the layout would serve their family’s needs. They did an awesome job with their remodel! Last weekend Steve helped Mark put together and repair some furniture and I helped Shauna organize each room. I didn’t take photos of the house but I did take a couple of the grandkids.
I think the kids would probably say that their favorite feature of their new home is the pool. Andrew spent hours after school and on Saturday in the pool. Steve and Mark loved cooling off every evening in the pool with the kids. Next time I come I am going to take advantage of the pool as well. Enjoy your new home!
