Softball!!!

Jenna played her first season of fastpitch softball!!! I was so excited for her to play and an so happy to report that she LOVES it!!! She did such a great job and tried her very best. She was so cute too!!! I just wish I would have taken a picture of her in the field...what was I thinking.
Jeanna loved to cheer and sing for her team mates.

Grandma and Grandpa watching the newest generation of softball players...while Drew takes a nap.


This cute boy enjoyed running around and playing in the dirt. She was so cute and when she would hit the ball she would tell her coach, "My Mom was a softball player." She would crack me up and make me blush...what a girl.

Watch out Taylor Swift...


I feel the need to catch up my blog a little...an how could I forget about Jenna's big moment in her school's talent show. She came home one day and told me that they would be having auditions for the talent show and that she wanted to sing a song. I tried to talk her into singing "Over the Rainbow" or something familiar...but she was adament that she sing her own song entitled, "Over the Hills." The funny thing is, she made this song up, but sings it the exact same every time. Well, I called her teacher and asked her if it was an audition in front of just a couple of teachers or the whole first grade. She said the whole first grade. I told her that Jenna could perform but we should probably just let her go that far...I know...I am a great mom. Trying to squish a little girls dreams. Well, long story short...her teacher was not there the day of auditions and my little star made it to the school talent show. Miss Jenna sang her rendition of "Over the Hills" in front of hundreds of kids and parents....a capella. I am so proud of how confident and poised this little girl was. I was always way to scared to do anything like that!!! She is so brave!!!She looked so cute, and did a really good job. We have a singer-song writer on our hands...watch out Taylor Swift!!!
Lyrics to "Over the Hills" by Jenna
I was waiting for you, on top of the highest hill
I was getting unpatient, so I went to find you
So I went over the hills, over the hills, over the hills
I went into the darkest forest, good thing I had a flashlight
Then I went to crocodile lake, there were crocodiles in crocodile lake
They reminded me of the tallest hills, so I went over the hills, over the hills, over the hills
Then I finally found you...so I took your hand and we went over the hills, over the hills, over the TALLEST HILL!!!
Okay...not word for word, but you get the point.

Family Pictures

My mother in law hired my very talented and dear friend Marianne to take some family pictures of the McCombs Clan. Here are some favorites of my fam... Me and the Joelster.
Trying to get the kids to take a decent photo in the heat takes a lot of patience. I love Jenna's eyes in this photo.


This picture cracks me up because Joel doesn't like having his photos taken but was being a trooper...we were cracking up at the end.

And whoa-LA...my sweet family. I love them to pieces!!! Thanks Marianne!!!
