Anne's homerun...I promised Anne I would get this on here tonight so Gammer, Bumpa, and Granddaddy could see her big homerun at tonight's game! She was so incredibly proud of herself and we were proud of her too. I just happened to catch the whole thing on video. I haven't taken one picture or video of her team so far this season and just happened to pull out my camera as she was walking up to bat. She got up there and whacked that ball and once she rounded first base, she realized she could make a homerun and just ran her heart out. As she came back to the dug out, her team was cheering and hugging her and chanting "Eggs and Toast, Eggs and Toast" (her nickame on the team for the past few years). It was so awesome. I walked into the dugout to congratulate her and she literally fell into my arms and just started crying her eyes out. She was so happy and so emotional. Of course, I was bawling my eyes out too. She also played really well out in the field and the team came from behind and won the game! It was such an exciting night!

My girl! She was beaming!

Anne and Coach Matt. He is one of the assistant coaches and has been working with Anne on her batting. He has always said she would be a homerun hitter once she got everything down. If you watch the video, as she crosses home plate, you can see him come running from 1st base, swinging his arms like a little kid. He was so excited for her. He came up to talk to me after the game and he got all choked up talking about it. It was so sweet. He loves this team and this game so much. He was born to coach.

Coach Sam giving the girls a pep talk after their big win. He was so proud of his Red Hots!! We are so lucky she is on a team with such awesome coaches.

Here is a cute one of Allison and her buddy Jackson. They were covered in dirt!

Just a cute one of Punker being a punk.

The annual Tipton Halloween party...Once again, we dressed up and headed out to the beach for the Tipton Halloween party. We had a great time and it was fun seeing everyone in their costumes. The band played and we all danced and some of us had just a wee bit too much to drink. I think I came home with only one part left of my costume. Luckily, it was the dress.

The girls loved our costumes!

All the girls at the beginning of the night.

The end of the night. I'm not sure what happened to all of my stuff.

Anne and Cameron... They have been best buddies since kindergaten and are still going strong. She no longer refers to him as her "boyfriend", just as a friend who is a boy. But I know she still has a big crush on him. He's a sweet kid and they have a good time together. He was so excited to have Anne come watch his football game last weekend!

Quick picture during halftime.

He plays quarterback and defensive end. He was a busy guy out there.

My cute girl.

After the game. They lost but Cameron had a good game. He scored 2 touchdowns...right before we got there. He was bummed that Anne didn't see them.

Here's a cute one of Anne helping Allison with her homework. I love that she wants to do it with her so I don't have to! ;)

Allison's softball game...Traci and her family came out to watch one of Allison's games last week. Thanks so much for coming, she was so excited to have a fan club! She is doing really well this season and I'm having a good time coaching her team too. The team has come a long way since our first game! Go Wildcats!

Holly's 6th Birthday party...Holly had her birthday party at Sweet N Sassy this year and all the girls had a great time! They got to dress up, get their make up and nails done, dance, and walk the runway! They were all workin' it!

Waiting to get all dolled up.

I think she got them all in one breath!

The beautiful birthday girl! Happy 6th Birthday Holly!

October stuff...It's been awhile since I've updated! I haven't been getting my camera out enough lately. Allison went on her first field trip 2 weeks ago. She was so excited! She couldn't wait to ride the school bus. We took a trip to see The Three Little Pigs and she loved it.

Smiling with one of the pigs after the show.

Allison and her good little friend Lindsey hugging. They have become fast friends and they were thrilled to learn we live in the same neighborhood. They are always hugging or holding hands.

They couldn't wait for October 1st to get here so we could put the Halloween decorations out. They had a good time getting it all set up.
