Lil Sparks vs. Lil Crushers
Ok, I wasn't thinking and uploaded these backwards!!
Here Gracie is at Second, her hands in her pockets, and when she went to third she kind of jogged half way and then she walked and of course got tagged.
Gracie, even though she was crying, hit the ball.
It was VERY cold!! I didn't take Jadyn to this game, that's how cold it was!!

It was VERY cold!! I didn't take Jadyn to this game, that's how cold it was!!Gracie spent most of the game on the field, hands in her pockets, and crying. Her second time to bat she just stood there crying and wouldn't even swing the bat.
We didn't hit the ball until the end of the game. We had several tag outs which we were all proud of !!!
We lost. It was cold. End of story.......................
Buuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..................
sardis fest day 2 part 2............
I love this picture!!
Well, Saturday we started at 12 and lost our first game. Then we played again at 3 and won!!! OUr first win and also gracie's first time to hit the ball!! Then we played again at 5 and lost. We tied for third place. It was a long hot day at the ballpark, but the girls had a good time and learned a lot!!!!
Listen to our girls chattering!!! Towards the end you will hear me scream "that's Gracie!" that would be because one of our girls tagged Gracie instead of the other team!! Ha!
Sardisfest Day 1 Friday 4-3-09
Well, Friday started our long weekend at the ball park with Olivia playing at 7 and Gracie playing at 8. Here's Judd and Jadyn sitting in their Easter gifts from Mamou and Grandpa!!
Sucker time!! Anything to keep them happy!! Jadyn's looking at Judd's sucker probaly thinking "hmmm........I wonder if he's tastes better?!!"
It was pretty chilly, but Gracie did pretty good!! I don't think any balls came her way that she was able to get. In fact, in the car on the way home she started crying because no one threw (hit) her the ball.
She didn't have any success hitting the ball this night either.
It was Alissa's birthday so they all had cupcakes before the game!! Yumm!!! Sugar rush!! Unfortunately all the sugar didn't help us in the game! I'm not going to name names or trash talk or any of that, but the team that we were playing had NO business playing in this tournament!! And that's all I'm going to say about that!

Game 2- 3-31-2009
Lil' Sparks vs. Lady Bugs March 31 at 6
Gracie getting ready to go bat. This is a normal occurence for her to be drawing in the dirt with her bat.
Getting ready! She still has a lot to learn about watching the ball. She didn't hit the ball tonight either, but she sure can swing the bat!!
Gracie's cheer team.........Jadyn, Judd, and Corbin. Corbin is more interested in his cookie to look at me, and Jadyn I'm sure is about two seconds away from saying "mom-ma". I love it!! Corbin finally realized Gracie was out on the field, and he was pointing at her and just squeeling!!
I don't think she was as into the game tonight. She was sitting in the dirt a lot, twirling around, make a big dirt pile, and complaining about how cold it was. She did stop a few balls. One thing she has going for her is even though she doesn't pay attention she still gets to the ball!!
Good game girls!! I wish I had got the picture after this as they were coming back and running and screaming like a bunch of wild GIRLS!!
We played much better this game! We didn't win though, but it was close 4-3. We REALLY need to work on what to do with the ball once we get it. Gracie needs to hit the ball so we can see her in action!!

Friday and Saturday we are playing in a tournament in Sardis. I think it will be good practice for these girls!! Whew! It's going to be a long weekend! I guess this is only the beginning of our time spent at the ball park! So proud to be a sporty girl's mom!!!
Go Lil' Sparks!!!

Gracie's First Softball Game 3-30-2009
Last night was a BIG night for us. Gracie had opening ceremonies for her first year of softball at 6:00 and then her first game in Bryant at 8:00. Here is her biggest fan cheering her on!!! Go sissy!!
Gracie up to bat!! She didn't hit any, but she tried really hard and made some good swings!!
GET READY!! That's what I kept yelling out to her. She did a really good job stopping the ball when she wasn't twirling around or kicking her leg up in the air!!
ATTACK!! That's what I thought when they would go after the ball. Gracie is #31(her daddy's sports number!) in the middle, she got the ball but like everyone else was unsure what to do with the ball once she got it.
Well, they moved to quick for me to catch the right shot, but just before Gracie and Coach daddy were walking out and if I had to guess he was giving her a pep talk!
Unfortunately, we lost this game. I won't tell you the score because hey they're still little and it doesn't matter, right?! What's important is that they have fun and they learn something, and judging by what I saw last night we have A LOT to learn!! I will add that 8:00 is too late for these little girls to be playing ball!! I think that was a lot of the problem was that it was so late. One of the dugout moms told me that Gracie was crying for me in the dugout!!

We play again tonight at 6, and I hope that we do better!!!
Fingers crossed, we want Gracie to hit the ball tonight!!
Go Lil Sparks!

Time travel
These overalls were her daddy's when he was little. Too cute!!
Jadyn Parker McDade at one year old!! I wish I had a picture of Jerred in these to add to this. Maybe I can work on that!

more zoo pics
Jerred, Gracie, and Jadyn
Gracie looking at the rhinos. Gracie said " you know they are dinosaurs!"
Looking at the bird ( not really sure what it is). Jadyn saying her favorite word " Loooook!"
So, glad to be out of the wagon, but it didn't last long!!
Alexis, Gracie, and Jadyn
What a great day we had!! We slept in, lounged around the house, and then we were like " Let's get out of here!" So, we took the girls to the Little Rock Zoo. The zoo has gotten a bad rep due to all the construction, but they are making progress and there are not many exhibits closed. They have a new exhibit (well new to us since we haven't been in so long!) the lorikeets. You can walk in with all the birds and they fly all around you. Pretty neat, but I was worried one might land on the girls and bite them. It didn't happen! The weather was nice so most of the animals were out. The gorillas were out and playing, the bears had a birthday party so some were still playing with boxes and wrapping paper, and the river otters were out socializing with the kids. Jadyn got to get out of the wagon for a little while, but she didn't want to hold our hand, and she is still wobbly and of course fell and scraped her forehead up pretty good. Gracie really had a good time, and on the way home (we always talk about what we did) asked her what her favorite animal was, she said the lions. Then that became a game, " my favorite animal had stripes", so we had to try to guess, " Tiger", no, "zebra", no, and so on and so on. Until we heard a little whisper, "try the ant eater". Then we got it. Too funny she was helping us out!!

We did a little running around after that while the girls napped in the car. We had a gift card to eat at On the border. The food was good, but the service was awful. We got some free cheese dip out of the deal though.
Next was the weekend grocery shopping trip to walmart. That's always fun..........not. It was after 9 by the time we got home. Whew! What an exhausting day!!
First trip to Little Rock Zoo
Farmer Gracie
Watching for the birds!!
Jadyn was in some kind of a mood for the first half of the trip. She just had this look on her face like "I don't want to be here!" So, here she is pouting in the wagon!
The gorillas. The smaller one is baby Mosi (mo-see) he is two and a half years old and so cute and playful! He kept running around and trying to snatch the food out of the other (female) gorillas hands!! LOL!
CHEESE!

This was after we got home from the lake. Jadyn was laying on JoJo but she sat up to pose! What a ham!! Jo was wore out from our trip, but by the next day he was back to his old self and just walked right over Jadyn! Back outside for Jo!
Fun with a .75 cent toy mustache from a vending machine!! Too funny!!
As you can tell Jadyn didn't find it that funny!
