Sweetness

I just wanted to publicly post proof that my kids do really love each other!

The Princess Sleeps

Kinsey had followed me around just a little too much this afternoon, so I sent her to play in her room. I went to check on her and found her dressed in her bath robe sleeping on her stage with the lights plugged in. Precious!

This and That

A very proud 4 yr old Kinsey with her Barbie high heels & balloon bouquest from Hunee & Pop.

My sweet kids. Every now and then they can stand being this close to one another.

The Preston men...Uncle Roo, Uncle Tug, and Pop.

What is it about a motorcycle?

I love this picture of Trace and my dad on dad's bike. I have said my kids will NEVER ride one, but there's just something about a motorcycle...

I'm back!

Since I was here last, Trace was picked to play on one of the two All Star teams for our baseball league. It was a baseball-filled two weeks. I think he's also going to play fall ball! YEAH!!! He will be moving up to machine pitch next spring and he was asked to play on a coach pitch team this fall. The more baseball, the better if you ask me!

Kinsey is taking gymnastics and loving it. She had wanted to take dance class and gymnastics. We started with gym and she hasn't talked much about dance since. Thank goodness. I have heard that those stage mamas are a little over the top.

Brook and I have been super busy with SunnyandBrookDesigns.etsy.com. We are running an ad in the local magazine in July and are planning to do a small show in three weeks. We have even sold to strangers! We were excited to get orders from people we knew, but even more excited when strangers saw our stuff and bought!

I hope to get some gymnastics pics up very soon!

We're on Etsy.com!!!

Introducing......SunnyBrookDesigns!!!

Brook and I are starting
SunnyBrookDesigns.
We are so proud and thrilled over our new line. We have had so much fun and even more laughs working together.
We are both truly optimistic that our business will take off!
We are asking you, our blog readers, to please tell everyone you know about SunnyBrookDesigns.
Our upholstered letter wall art would make a precious gift for a baby shower, teacher, or babysitter. It would add the finishing touch to an already adorable kid's room, playroom, or craft room! Each item is "8x10" with a 5" wooden letter painted to coordinate with your room decor. Choose one letter or spell out your child's name to make her room her own. Each piece is trimmed in ribbon and handmade to order.
We will be on ebay by the end of the week. I will post links as soon as they are available.
(We will have a store on etsy.com and a website in the near future). Our long term goal also includes selling in boutiques.
Here is a sneak peak at just a few of our products...more fabulous things to come.

Something Fab

My friend, Brook, and I have something fab in the works...SunnyBrookDesigns. She had a great idea! We are about to pop with excitement. We hope to have pictures up in the next couple of days. Our husbands will be happy when we get our website up and ready for business!!!

Kinsey's Closing Ceremonies

The Power Puffs ended with a record of 2-5-2. The girls had a great time!

Kinsey's Last Game

Kinsey was the lead off hitter today. She has been last all season, so we switched it up. She crossed the plate twice during this game!!!

Diamondbacks and Power Puffs

Trace's team played their last game of the season last night and Kinsey's last game is tomorrow. I really don't know what to do with myself. The back of my car will no longer be filled with bat bags, pennants, and dugout baskets. Not to mention what we will do each evening. I have loved baseball for a while, but watching my kids play has been the icing on the cake! I was telling someone last night that Chad was at the game where Craig Biggio hit is 3,000th and I was so jealous that I couldn't be there. But I have to say, I would much rather see my kids running the bases carrying their pennants. I can hardly wait for the next season!

We were lucky to have great coaches for both teams. Trace's coach taught him a great deal about baseball and also about sportsmanship. I can't say enough about what he did for those kids. He gave lots of time and energy over the last three months and it is greatly appreciated. And after the last few games, he probably has a few gray hairs! This was Trace's first year to play baseball and we were fortunate to have been part of an amazing team.

I couldn't have asked for better coaches for Kinsey's first year. They made sure the kids had fun and put no pressure on them to win. The girls really had a great time. Kinsey is upset that she hasn't hit a home run, but couldn't care less that they only have three wins! I can't thank them enough. We've had a great season and a great intoductory experience!!!

Closing ceremonies are tomorrow for Kinsey and Monday for Trace. I will post pictures of my sluggers with their trophies soon!!!

Grandmother

Chad's grandmother is in her late 80s. She has had a rough year, but seems to be back up on her feet. She is always up for fun. She has recently gone for a helicopter ride, ridden horses, and here she is riding the 4-wheeler with Chad. She has retired a few times, but is still working every day!

The Rodeo

We have been trying to get Kinsey on a horse for over a year. She finally decided to sit on a pony after the rodeo in Crockett. There was a girl riding a miniature horse as part of the show and she decided that was the one she would sit on. I asked Chad if he took any pictures of her on the pony. He did not because someone had him in a death grip.

And then there's Trace...he is so comfortable on a horse. He asks me regularly why we can't have a horse. The list of reasons is too long!
