I never could have imagined the experiences, challenges and rewards that come along with the title and responsibility of being "Mom". Everyday my little ones present different needs to be met, new attitudes to understand, stages to conquer, and find new ways to unravel my patience. Despite the challenges, the rewards that come from a genuine I love you mom, a moment of 3 children happily playing together, and even a simple accomplishment bring feelings and emotions that words can't describe. I am ever so grateful for my Precious Little Ones; for their individuality, talents, and the completeness each one contributes to the Cox Clan.

Lil' Sluggers

Madelyn and Mason experienced their first year of T-ball. They both had a great time and had fabulous coaches that really made this a fun experience. By their last game, they had made huge improvements and most importantly, they were excited and ready to play again next season!




Go Sidewinders!!



I realize the quality of these pictures isn't very good...but I couldn't help but still post them! Madelyn still looks so cute even if she is a little blurry, especially where she's down and ready on first base! (Confession: I really wish I was better with my camera.)










Mason stopped two grounders. He was more surprised than anyone else! I couldn't believe what confidence this gave him and his sudden interest in the game. He started paying more attention and really getting into the game...instead of waving his arms in the air, playing in the dirt, looking everywhere else but at the game, throwing his mit up into the air instead of wearing it, etc.





I LOVE this pic...such cute boys and good friends, Mason and Ethan Ashton




On the last game they got to play at the Spring Training stadium for the Texas Rangers and Kansas City Royals. Honestly, I couldn't believe what big of a deal was made for them...we're talking T-ball here! They played on a real, professional field, got to see their pictures show up on the jumbo screen and of course received a medal at the end. All the hoopla won them over, especially Mason. He still can't stop talking about earning more medals (and hopefully a trophy) next year!







Ice cream celebration after with the Ashtons' and Hammonds'

What a fun season!! Can't wait for many more to come!

Jennie, I loved that post. Even though the pictures were blurry they are so cute! I can not believe the VIP treatment for t-ball we sure never had that when I played. I love you guys and tell those two we are proud of them.

Looks like a fun season! They are so cute in their little uniforms, they probably looked so small on that huge field!
