NO MORE BRACES!!!

Jacob got his braces off of his teeth Friday!! His teeth look beautiful! He's so happy...he can't quit looking at himself in the mirror.
Here are some pics of before and after...




This is before he got his braces in July 2007....

This was immediately after getting his braces in July 2007....

This is right before getting his braces off June 26, 2009....

This is his teeth after the braces came off!!!!!!

So pretty!!!

Handsome man!!

It was so worth the 2 years of complaints and rubber bands found everywhere in the house because his teeth look great!! Thanks, Dr. Michelle Dumiller Carlton!!!

Have lots of other pictures to post but I don't have time today....lots of stuff to do!

Til next time.....

Quick Update

It's been nothing but baseball, baseball, baseball at our house. If we are not at the ballfield for all star practice (4 nights/wk) then it's on the TV. (IF Noah will allow Dora and Diego to be turned off for a while!) Noah has been home this week because he has a viral infection in his mouth that causes ulcers. Poor little man was hurting so bad Tuesday and Wednesday! It was pitiful! He was much better today but still has a few more days of healing to go........Kaleb has his first tournament for AllStars this weekend! It's about 45 miles away from our house so it will be a long drive followed by a long day of baseball followed by a long drive....2 days in a row!! Oh well! We will make it....and I will post some pics next time...until then here is a picture that I haven't posted before.....
'Til next time........

Baby Boy???

Noah said something today that I have to share….



He and I were sitting on the couch watching The Wonder Pets and at the end when they got the baby animal back to it’s mama, Noah said “Dat’s mama” and I said “yep that’s his mama, where’s your mama?” And just like every other 300,000 times that we’ve done this, he said “Right dere” pointing to me and just like I’ve asked 300,000 times before I said, “Yep, Where’s my baby?” and instead of saying
“right dere” pointing to himself (like he has those 300,000 times before)……..... he said.......pointing to his chest........... “dat not baby, dat boy”


WHAT???? It brought a tear to my eye! (Little does he know that he will ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS be my baby no matter what!!! ALWAYS!!!!!!)





I'm sure I had a pouty lip like this one after he said that.....

'til next time :o)

Pitcher Pictures!!!

School is officially out for summer for the boys and Kaleb got his summer mohawk on Wednesday before the big game!

He pitched the entire game against the #2 team (his team is #1)

Look at the concentration on that face!

You better watch out batter cuz here it comes!!!

If I remember correctly this was the 3rd strike....YOU'RE OUT!!!!

They ended up with a score of 6 to 6 so they remain undefeated!!! There's one game left and then ALL STAR practice begins!!!

'Til next time :o)

We need a pitcher.....

Actually, I need a PICTURE of the PITCHER!!
Kaleb started baseball a few weeks ago and has really taken to pitching!! He really is pretty good!! At the start of the season, he said that he would play any position except pitcher but everyone on the team has to practice the different positions so that the coach can see who can do what... Anyway, the coach thought he had potential as pitcher so Kaleb reluctantly agreed to try it out and now he loves it!!! I have a few pictures of him in action this season except for a good pitching picture!! They have 4 games next week so maybe I can get a good one then!! OH Yeah, we got a call tonight from the coach....he was chosen for the All Star team!! ~~The best from each team is chosen to make up 1 team and then they play different teams in the region(?? I think that's how it is...) He is so excited!!! So that means extra weeks of baseball this summer!!!



Ready to swing....

Ready to run....

Practicing catching...

He is also a pretty darn good 1st baser...

This is what Noah likes to do while his brother is playing ball.....He climbs up on this water meter case and jumps down...over and over and over.....

'til next time :o)
