Congratulations are in order!

Brayden Aguilar has made his debut! Congratulations to my sweet friend Cat and her hubby Omar on their precious baby boy!




Proud papa :)



How fabulous does she look?! So happy for you both!!!!



Beau was due for a haircut and Kensie really wanted to help. Triplets. Seriously.




Time for a trim.




Taylor squeezed Beau in while Ronda was waiting. Love this.




We have horses right by our house and they are so beautiful. Hopefully we can get a few soon!




Aubrey took this for me at Aunt Laurie's yesterday! She swam her heart away!

Lots of stuff going on!

Beau flew to Texas for work and took some of the Indians (who were playing the Houston Astros) to the ranch for the morning!

Later that day, Brad and Beau's bull, Tuve, came to the park. Brad named the bull after one of his players last year, Jose Altuve, because he and the bull were both small and very fast. 

Altuve was a little nervous but absolutely loved meeting his namesake!

Mom and Dad are in Michigan with the girls and have sent some gorgeous pictures.

The pontoon is officially in the water for 2013! Talk about a happy captain.

Grandma and the girls! Can't wait for us to go out in June : )

My chunky boy.

Abbey and Redd met us for a walk; it's been getting warm really quickly so we went early.

 Easton turned 1 and we celebrated him on Saturday; Maxine held James so I could visit : ) 

There were TONS of kids there and Katelyn had bubbles and chalk.

The kids were in their glory!

The birthday boy and one great mama : )

I finally met Russell, Karl and Lauren's little boy. He is about 2 months older than James and so sweet.

Just me and the kiddos this week

Beau had to go out of town for the week so it was me and the two nuggets! We stayed very busy and the week has flown by but we are ready to have my husband and their daddy home.



He is changing every day. Starting to look more like his daddy, it's those lips!


Happy siblings.


Mom and dad flew out to Grand Rapids to surprise Lizzy for her 21st bday! Needless to say, she was certainly surprised!


So fun; wish I were there so bad Liz!


The 3 sisters went in on a nice gift for her; thank you missy for doing the shopping!


Miss Kate Lousie was born to Zach and Leisha Evangelho this week. Beau played with him in college and we were/are good friends. She is GORGEOUS!


We went with Ronda (she landed yesterday and stays for over a week) to visit Grandpa and Grandma Mills.


So happy to see another great grandson.


Afterward, we went for lunch downtown.


LOVE this picture!!!


Beau is in Houston for work and the Indians are playing the Astros.
Beau's boss has an incredible ranch and beau gets to take some players out tomorrow morning to watch the bulls buck. So glad father and son get to see one another :)

What's new this week

Big sister and little brother!


Ice cream truck came through the neighborhood and we all snacked in our backyard; our patio has been amazing!


We went to our first baseball game post-retirement and had a blast. So weird being on the other side of things!


Kensie made a friend at the park and played and played.


Our friends Jerad and CJ sent James a gift but clearly, Kensie will be making better use of it for a while ;)


Our chunky monkey. Hanging out with daddy while Beau watches the Masters.

A baby shower and the zoo!

My incredible friend, Catherine, celebrated her new bundle of joy yesterday. Catherine and I became fast friends 2 years ago when our husbands played for the Indians in Akron, Ohio. We were the best of friends and I do not know what I would have done without her that season! She is the sweetest girl and one of my most dedicated blog followers! 

Catherine, you are absolutely glowing and you will be the most incredible mother. I am blessed to have you as a friend and I am so excited for you to experience the joy of having a child!

I've got my incredibly happy cheesy smile going on here because I guessed, spot on, how big her adorable belly is!

The shower was beautiful and I was so blessed to meet all the great women in her life and spend some quality time with my sweet friend.

This is Catherine's mother in law. She took James for about 40 minutes and I have never seen him happier. Seriously. The baby whisperer.

Because the shower was up north, Sean and Rochelle offered to take Kensie for the day. And it was such a good one! They took Jack and Kensie to the zoo!

Pretty sure she had the best time ever.

We are so lucky that Jack and Kensie are the same age. The 2 of them are becoming best friends! And Kensie is so lucky to have an Aunt and Uncle who treat her like she is their own. Love you guys  : )


Kensie and Aunt Chelle next to her favorite animal, an owl!
