Jillians New Toy

After a ton of what Ed likes to call "nagging", Jillian's activity center got put together tonight. She absolutely loved it. She was trying so hard to get her little tiny fingers on the music buttons!! She is still a little to small for it and her feet can't touch the ground while sitting in the seat but she was still VERY happy to be sitting there looking at all of the different colors shapes and sounds. Thanks to Jeff and Peggy for this awesome gift!!!!



































































Of course Alexis was there to help her out!!!

Michelle's pics

Of course Michelle always gets better pictures than me so I had to post these ones she took on the 4th. THANKS MICHELLE!!!

Game #3

Today was game #3 of the tournament. It was impossible to get any good pictures at this game. This was one of the worst fields we have played at so far. I think they must have been under construction or something because instead of a metal fence all the way around the softball field, they had some sort of orange mesh stuff and there were no covers over the dugouts!! The game started off pretty even and by the end of the 3rd inning the score was only 6 to 3 with Hatboro in the lead. Alexis struck out her first time up to bat. (very disappointing in Alexis' world, almost devastating!!). BY the time we hit the 5th inning something started to change and all of the girls started really hitting. Alexis had a double and a triple. Bringing home 3 runners with each hit. She sure has come a long way since T ball. The game ended in the 5th inning with the ten run rule again. The final score was 22 to 4.

GO HOTSHOTS!!!!!!!!!























I got these shots while they were warming up before the game started. Once the game starts you can't get any where near the girls or the dugout. (Tournament rules!!)



















Tuesday will be game #4 at home against Cheltenham. Can't wait to see what happens with that one!!! Word is they have an awesome pitcher!!

It was nice having so many people around to pass the baby to!!


































I just love Michelle's mom!!!




















Jillian was so content sitting with Kristen!

4th of July

We celebrated the 4th of July at Michelle's house. The weather was not the best, but we made it through most of the day with only some small showers. I know Michelle said on her blog that everyone ended up leaving to soon, but a lot of the couples that were there had really really little babies!!! I would have loved to stay and chat all night but I felt like Jillian needed her sleep at home :( We had a great time and got to meet a lot of the people from Michelle's blog. It was like everyone already kind of knew each other!! I only managed to get one picture of Alexis since she ditched us an hour after we got there to go and hang out with her grandma. Ed and I kept watching Miranda and wondering if Jillian would grow up to be anything like her. She was cracking us up!!! She is so funny, when I look at her she reminds me so much of the Mary Kate and Ashley Olson when they were on full house!!!! We had originally planned to maybe go and catch some fireworks but since it rained they were cancelled. Maybe next year!!!

The one and only picture of Alexis before she ditched us!!!!


























Miranda being Miranda. I can't remember what she was yelling about in this picture but it was so so funny watching her!!!

Game #2

Tonight was game # 2 of the district 22 tournament. Tonight was an awesome game that ended in the 4th inning because of a little league rule that says once a team is up by ten runs the game is over. The final score was 6 to 16. Alexis was back where she is most comfortable...catcher!! She had three at bats and scored on each one. All of the girls played so well tonight!!!






































This was a an awesome hit. Alexis made it to second base with a huge slide off of this hit.






















It was all smiles after tonight's big win!!!!

District 22's

The first game of district 22 tournament was tonight at home vs. Upper Moreland. The girls were so psyched to start to try to bring the flag home for our team. The first 4 innings went great. We were up by 4 points, and then in the 5th inning they began to catch up. After all was said and done the final score was 14 to 19. It was a tough loss, but there were some great plays made. Alexis had a triple in the 5th and managed to stop alot of the plays at 1st base! Tomorrow we are off to Plymouth for game # 2.

Most of the time Marissa doesn't want to go to Alexis' games. She gets so upset that Alexis doesn't show up for many of her games. Unfortunately Marissa is drug to all of Alexis' games and practices since she is to young to stay home alone. She is always saying how Alexis doesn't "support" her. But this year Alexis was at all of her tournament games and so today Marissa was really excited to put her uniform on eventhough her games are all finished. She said she wore it to support Alexis and was calling herself their mascott. Alexis' coach was nice enough to let Marissa help out during the practices these past few weeks.

Ed's cousin Katie who also plays softball was over at the field tonight to cheer on the minor players!

Can't wait for tomorrow nights game!!!!
