The coach pitches the first two balls, and if the child doesn't hit it, she gets to hit off of the tee. At her first game, she was the only kid on her team to hit a pitched ball. Can't wait to see what else this girl will do!

T-Ball, Part 2
Kate was ready to try something new this fall, so she chose to play T-Ball instead of soccer. She even gets to be a Cubby like her brothers!

Birthday Party!
My kids' birthdays are at the end of June, August, and October. In the past we have done separate birthday parties, but that is a lot of cake and ice cream in a very short amount of time. So this year, with a little help from Uncle Jacob, I convinced them that it would be a blast to have one big ole party for all of them. OK, honestly, they weren't thrilled with the idea at first, but then I convinced them with promises of pinatas and water balloons, and they were on board!
We had grandparents, tons of aunts and uncles, no less than six cousins, and many friends and their parents. We even had Uncle Jacob here! (He was in town for a wedding.) I wish I could say that I am super-mom because I am capable of pulling off a party like this all by myself, but honestly, it took the whole family to get the job done. Every single person had a job - from my niece who filled water balloons and peeled carrots, to my grandmother who was the welcoming committee, to the men who washed dishes, to all of the relatives who brought food. Somehow we managed to feed 40 people, and the party was a huge success. Once again, Will declared it the best party evah! 
Don't be hatin' on the cake pictures. I had to snap them fast before the flames melted Luke Skywalker's light saber!
Now I am wondering what I will have to bribe them with next year so I can get away with only one party again...

Kate's First Day
Yesterday, much to Kate NaNa's great joy, was the first day of school. After three long weeks of living with the fact that the boys "get to do all the fun stuff first," she finally got her day. Not only does she have the same classroom teacher from last year, but she also has the same speech therapist. Which made her (and her mama) very happy.
And then to class in her favorite Spidey shirt.
Life is good:)
So off she went to her First Day of School Breakfast with Daddy at Chick-fil-A.
