Carson starts baseball

Ever since I can remember Carson has LOVED baseball. I actually made him play soccer this fall b/c I knew that once he started baseball... there would be no other! It is so strange b/c Kit was always throwing a football to Carson, and I was always kicking the soccer ball to him. And what does he do? He goes to the garage (leaving us with the football or soccer ball in our hands) and picks up a bat and ball and starts playing baseball..?

This is a picture of Carson when he was 15 months-He was throwing the ball up to himself with one hand, and hitting with the bat from the other. crazy.

Here he is on his first team, the Marlins, practicing his swing-kinda scary, they have no idea of others around them. hehe:)

Baylor Soccer

ok-I promise I will never talk about this again!

Today we had a big alumni day at Baylor soccer. The new coach has done a great job getting most of the Big 12 champ team back together to help 'revive' the program. She brought in Randy Waldrum (who now coaches at Norte Dame) to inspire the current team. He honestly is the best coach I have EVER played for, and his record speaks for itself. 
One of the best years I have had was when we won the Big 12 my freshman year. The team was unique-we worked hard, but laughed just as hard. It was fun to see everyone after 9/10 years.  Sorry about the volume-I am posting TONS of pics for my parents b/c they invested so much time supporting my play. They grew to love all the players and family too! You have to click on them to really see them. So, here's for you mom and dad:)

Kids had fun with this bear, and then we took them to see the real bear

Everyone is pregnant!

Ryan chattin'

a few random...

yep, still havin' fun-everyone looks the same!

Randy is going to recruit Kindle in 2025 hehe

We visited the football field and Kit's old locker room:)

Kit's lovely Quad!! All the football players stay there-yikes! it stinks!

Girls in the locker room for the alumni game-MANY a day pulling up socks over shin guards- the locker room is usually the funniest place! 

me and Jenny's sweet hubbies:)

1 football player, 1 tennis player

Carson grabbed his seat! 

Oh man-funny story. Lori's son got really upset when Lori was going out to play on the field and said "your not supposed to play, your too old!" kids are very humbling aren't they?

my attempt at change

Here is my feeble attempt at change...My hair is now auburn-ish brown with blond hi-lights. I have bangs too-i am too chicken to wear them though. I have been telling my hairdresser for years that one day I am going to cut all my hair off for the cute bob look that I love. I just can't do it!! I want to though!

oh well, maybe next time!

In other Kerbel news....

Kindle started ballet and tap with one of her friends from school-so cute!!

This is how we do it! We fish from the pool...

we only caught one!

sweet Daddy with Carson:)

One more note-please pray for my muslim convenience store friend. I talk to her on occasional Thursday's as I get a water for Kindle on the way to school, and I have had it on my heart to share the gospel with her for a very long time. I picked up a few pamphlets from our church on Jesus the Savior, and Eternity and shared those with her today. Please pray that she will read them and that her heart will be softened to hear God's truth and that the Lord will work a mighty work in her and save her. I remember our pastor saying how his dad was lead to Christ by someone handing him a gospel tract-how cool! She is so sweet, and tells me about her son and I really enjoy seeing her:)

Carson reading to Kindle:)

We had a little after dinner entertainment! I think carson added a few syllables and extra sounds when sounding it out, but cute none the less!!

Shout out

I had this pic I came across, and thought it was too cute. Shelly, I'm not sure if you ever saw these pics, but they were too precious. Props to Camille for the t-shirt!

An uphill battle?!

This was a while back, and we get a kick out of it every time. She had no idea we were taking pics-I thought I would give her privacy! I learned my lesson.

We have really been working on the potty training, and she IS doing better, but this is still her 'i'm in prison on the potty' response!!!! UUUUGGGGGG!!!!!

This is EXACTLY why I don't want to get a puppy!:)

Merry Christmas '08

I hope you guys had a wonderful Christmas! We had a great time with family at our house, and then at the Kerbel's for Christmas this year! We went to the Gaylord today for some winter fun- and ran into Shelly's bff-Theresa and her hubby at the Gaylord:) -I hope you guys had as much fun as we did! here are a few pics:)
