Trip to Denison

We went to Denison to visit the children and help David with the 6 when Christine flew to Nashville, TN. for her sister's wedding. We had a great time and were nearly exhausted when we returned home 5 days later!!

Wilson and Poppa


Ty and Poppa









Bowen and Poppa.
Beth Anne and Christine.











Beth Anne doing the "Take me". I just loved that!!
















We attended 4 ball games and then watched several practices in the backyard. All the boys are quite good at baseball. Luke is in T-ball and plays short stop. Wilson is in coach pitch and is a catcher, short stop and first base. Bowen is in kid pitch and usually plays short stop. Easton is the in 11-13 league and plays first base and short stop. He occassionally catches and is just the image of David at that age as catcher!! Brings back lots of good memories.
Wilson was chosen to play on the all stars. Bowen and Easton couldn't be in the group to be selected because of other commitments. Easton was given an award for ability plus sportsmanship that is given to one child in each league. We were very proud of all of them.









Easton left on Sun. afternoon for Arlington, TX, with the youth group. They were involved in a service project to help build and paint houses. There were 3 middle school boys and ll girls. He seemed to really enjoy it.









David isn't coaching this year because of the number of games the boys have. They are in the ball park 6 nights a week. I think they were glad to see the season end. Beth Anne and Ty go to every game and do great.










Wilson and Easton are good at watching Beth Anne. Bowen is also. Ty tries to carry her and that's a little difficult for him.














It was hot at the games. Thankfully, most of them were at 6:00 and that helped alot. We ate a lot of McDonalds and Pizza at C-C's . I tried to cook once and wasn't very successful. I don't know how they manage to get all the food and the children at the table at one time!!!






Beth Anne loved my camera case and walked all around with it around her neck. She's so cute walking around. Falls often, but hops right back up.










Luke is a hoot. He told me that "there's some kissing at the end of this video.....just overlook it"!!!












































This is Bowen at shortstop.












Poppa giving Beth Anne a ride.






















Ty getting ready to slam the ball. He's quite a hitter already and can hardly wait until he can play T-ball.











Christine had a good time in Nashville, but was glad to get back home and get some loving!!





I still haven't learned how to manage this blog. Everything is just too spaced. I'll try to get with Stacey Neal and find out how she does such a good job. I'll have more pictures later this week of the "Harding Girls". We had a great time and everyone left Mon. It's always great to see everyone. Take care and I'll talk more later.
