A New Adventure

My son is a sports fanatic.  Baseball, football, basketball, hockey, soccer....you name it ....he watches it on TV.  The only sports that he has played are baseball and basketball.  He was great at both, but with our move, he never found his "nitch" on a team.  Well, after 5 years, he has decided that he is going to try baseball again.  We are blessed to have a homeschool baseball team in our area.  He was  a little nervous but went right on out there with the other boys and practiced.  He did really well and looked like he felt really comfortable with the other boys. 

I was so proud of him!  We had to start from scratch as far as equipment goes, so needless to say, we have some money invested now.  Bat, batting gloves, mitt ect.   But, it will be worth every penny to watch him have fun.  

Here he is catching a fly ball....and yes, he did catch it!  I will keep you posted on how he does.  Between his baseball and my daughter's softball....we will stay busy!   But this Momma loves every minute of it! 

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Go Hawks!!!

We are a sports loving family. I grew up around sports my whole life, my hubby played football in high school. My kiddos have also developed a love for sports. Josh loves any kind of sport, esp. if it has to do with any Atlanta team- Atlanta Braves, Atlanta Hawks, Atlanta Thrashers. Annalee loves softball, baseball, basketball and soccer but doesn't care to much for football except for the New Orleans Saints. Her favorite player is Drew Brees.

Last week my sister-in-law called and asked if we might be interested in free tickets to see the Atlanta Hawks play basketball. Considering that Josh and Annalee watch them every time they are on TV, I said "YES"! Insert the fact that my hubby does NOT like basketball, I told her to go ahead and get them for us!

I gently told my hubby what had transpired that day and to say that he did not share my excitement is an understatement! "Oh, boy" he said! I told him that he should be excited for the kids. We would have never bought our own Hawk's tickets so we should enjoy and be grateful for these free ones, right?

Well, he went along with it. We didn't tell the kids about the tickets until the Friday night before. They were so excited!!!

We had no trouble getting to the arena and finding parking. The game was not crowded and we had pretty decent seats and the Hawks won!

Waiting for the game to start....Go Hawks!

Getting the game started. The Hawks are in the White uniforms, they played the Pacers.

The final score! Hawks win! Sorry it is so blurry,,, I guess I moved :)

After the game we asked Daddy if he had fun and he said "Yeah". I later asked him if he wanted to do it again and he said "NO"! What a trooper! :) The kids had fun and that is all that matters, right?!

Go Braves!!!!

My son loves the Atlanta Braves. He can tell you everything and anything there is to know about them. I always tell him if he would pay the same attention to his school work as he does to the Braves he would make all 100's! No matter if the Braves are on a winning streak or a loosing streak, he is a faithful fan.

We have been blessed to be able to go to 2 Braves games this season, Josh and Annalee both had so much fun!!! We always try to make it to at least one game a year. I can remember going to the Braves game when I was in high school. My favorite part was getting the yummy steamed hot dogs. The ones they have now are hardly worth eating. They are steamed like the old ones were.

Well, I don't know how many of you follow baseball but the Atlanta Braves made the playoffs! Josh is so excited! He told us from the beginning of baseball season that the Braves were going to make the playoffs and he was right!

The first Braves playoff game is tonight, so Josh will be planted in front of the TV for the evening doing the tomahawk chop!!!!

GOOOOOOO BRAVES!!!!!

Josh's photo shoot

Today was such a beautiful day that I decided to do Josh's birthday photo shoot. It was raining on his birthday so we were unable to do it that day. Enjoy!

Josh's 14th Birthday

Yesterday was my son's 14th Birthday and we had a blast. First we dropped Annalee off at softball camp and went to Game Stop. Josh has been wanting the Wii Zelda game for some time and it ain't cheap honey!!! He was so excited! Unfortunately, it rained all day and we did not get to go swimming like he wanted to. Instead, we met Daddy for dinner at Josh's favorite restaurant, Zaxbys. Afterwards, we picked up an Dairy Queen Cookies and Cream ice cream cake and went home and chowed down! He really enjoyed playing his new game and said that was all he wanted!

Here is a picture recap......

All he really wanted for his Birthday

Yummmmm, Zaxbys

Boy was that good!

The Wii wishing Josh a Happy Birthday

My Baby Boy is 14!

Today is another big day at the Scarbary house! My baby boy is 14 today! He is my first born and has been a pure joy. I had such an easy pregnancy and labor with him. My water broke at 6:30 a.m and he was delivered at 9:20 a.m. We did not find out what we were having but I knew in my heart the it was a boy! He was such a happy baby and never fussed much at all. My husband and I knew we wanted to use my husband's name, Dean,didn't have a clue about another name. We came up with Joshua from the Bible during a sermon one Sunday morning. We loved the way is went together.... so we have Joshua Dean. Here are a few pictures of my baby boy over the years.....
