rebekah and bailey's baseball birthday party!!!

 i think the invitation surprised everyone...but we played a baseball game {really, whiffle ball} for the girls' birthday party! the kids had been WANTING to do a "family" baseball game all summer...it was on the summer list {that i threw away}...and so we did it BIG for their party!

 green team {rebekah}
vs
pink team {bailey}

it POURED all morning...which made for some fun puddles for levi to play in!

everyone REALLY were GREAT sports and just jumped right in!

we each had to wear either a green or pink strip of fabric - sawyer looks like he has a pink scarf on :-)

the bases were hula hoops...sometimes they got moved :-)

levi made himself comfortable in the middle of the field

i had a hard time hitting the ball my first turn, so i cop-ped out and let "levi" hit it when i was up to bat next :-) coordination just isn't my thing...

 

headed home {we played the game at the kids' elementary school} and had a very NOT typical labor day weekend meal of pizza spaghetti {YUM! bailey's favorite...} and salad and breadsticks.

opening gifts....they are KNOWN so well by their family - it's so obvious even in their gifts! {bailey's dress with tutu for a skirt...rebekah's purple boots!}

and singing happy birthday!

it was so fun to celebrate my sweet girls! they are amazing. and they have an amazing extended family. i pray one day they can grasp how blessed they are!
