Our All-Star

Well, we've been quite busy the past 3 weeks with more baseball!  Chandler made the Rookie All-Star team this year and he's kept us on the go:)  We have enjoyed getting to spend time watching him do something that he really LOVES/ENJOYS.  We finished 3rd in our district.  Chandler had fun being a  part of this team.  Here are some of my favorite pictures during the week.

Chase's Broken Arm

As we were starting to get ready for Chandler's final ball game on Thursday night Chase went outside to play on the trampoline.  He decided he wanted to be a monkey and swing from the bar across the top of the trampoline that used to hold the enclosure/net.  While he's holding and swinging on the bar, his hand slipped and he fell to the ground.  As Carson comes in to calmly tell me that Chase needed me, he proceeded to tell me what happened next and finally says mama, he's crying and needs you!  Well, I knew if he was crying he must be hurt.  I walked outside and he's laid out on the ground.  I had to bring him in and put him in the recliner.  I had him sit in the chair while I get a shower quickly because the time is now 4:30 and I need to be ready in 30 minutes!  When I got out of the shower he was in my bathroom saying his wrist was hurting really bad and he thinks he might of broken it:(  After thinking quickly about our insurance, I knew I should take him on the Dr. instead of waiting until later on and having to go to the emergency room for the "hospital" bill!  So my sister called the Dr. office while I got dressed and they said that Dr. White would wait on me.  As she's helping Chase to get his shoes on, he starts to pass out on us.  Now that was scary!!   So we just put him in my car and I headed to the dr. with him.  She dropped Chandler and Carson off to Todd for me so he could get Chandler to his last game.  Once we got to the dr. they took the x-ray and said he indeed broke his wrist.  He knew what he was telling me at home!  So we had to go on to Athens Orthopedic on Friday to have it put in a cast.  Beginning of summer and he has a cast for the next 4 weeks.

Hot Air Balloon

Not every day does a hot air balloon fly close to your house and land on your road....well Friday night as we were on our way home we saw a balloon way off in the distance.  After we were home for a little while, I received a text/picture from a friend who said look what landed on your road!! So we all jumped 

in the car and went to take a look!  It turns out this balloon was in a race from Helen to the Atlantic..(or rather to see who could get the closest because the weather delayed them from starting on time).  At 8:45 they had to be on the ground with a witness!  So Wayne Randall and his family were the witnesses for this balloon family.  They were from Tampa, Florida and they seemed to be very nice people!  They give rides 2-3 times a week and only do the race 3-4 times a year.  If you are ever in Tampa look them up and take a balloon ride. I hope they won the race!!

Chandler's Royal party & a few favorites

Proud of my #3!  He had a great season and loved playing ball on the Royals team this year with Brett Jinks as his coach.  A lot of great memories:)
