Baseball & Besties

Blake started off struggling with coach pitch baseball and hitting. He would try so hard and each time he would strike out..... until.... he played his best friend, Hunter's team. All of a sudden Blake went up to bat and just started nailing the pitches! In one game he hit the ball 3 times. Where did that come from!?!?! Personally... I think it was because he was feeling super motivated by playing his best friend. He had his fan club cheering him on, and he was just enjoying the fun. He even got the game ball from his coaches for having such an amazing game! I am so proud of him!

Since then,  he has played about 3 more games and he has hit the ball every time and gotten on base. What a great way to finish off Fall baseball!

Hillridge Pumpkin Picking

Thank goodness we live in a world with Octobers! It is my favorite month and it kicks off the Holiday Season (at least in my mind it does). I am a person who LOVES tradition and starting in October we have months full of tradition for the next 3 months. Pure Happiness!

I was telling Blake yesterday that we have gone to Hillridge Farms to pick pumpkins every year since he was born. He was amazed. Haha. This year we picked pumpkins with cousins (Tristan and Cam - and Aunt Tiff). Those boys are growing so quickly.

Blake also picked some really good pumpkins for us... but made me carry them. HAHA! My favorite part is the hayride. It just feels very Fall.  Now we just have to think of some great ways to carve them!
