The Turquoise Terrors!!

OK so I know I have been posting a lot about my little chitlins lately but yes there's more! The last couple of weeks Lilly has been playing t-ball on the totally awesome Turquoise Terrors team! I'm telling you if you ever need an evening full of laughs and hilarious blunders come to one of our t-ball games. Let me just mention a few priceless moments.
One, Lilly is up to bat (hooray), she strikes out on her first try (lame) on her second attempt she hits the ball into center field. She then stands there as Rhett, myself and her Aunt Amy all yell for her to run, run Lilly run, well never having played t-ball before she runs, that's right she runs straight into center field. We then are all yelling no Lilly no first base run to first base! Where is first bases though, she doesn't know so to second base she goes until her dad finally gets her attention and guides her to first base where she awaits the next confusing moment when she has to figure out where aim her super fast legs!
Two, Lilly and her cousin Alexis (the darling girl next to Lilly in the picture above) are position in center field right next to the pictures mound, the opposing team is up to bat. Lil and Alexis squat down in their,"I'm ready for anything" pose, knees bent hands up and ready to catch the flying torpedo that is the ball. The batter hits and Alexis gets the ball unfortunately she is so excited she has the ball she forgets what she is supposed to do with it. She jumps up and down in total excitement looks at her mom screaming mom look I got the ball, I got the ball! Mean while we are once again yelling, throw the ball Alexis throw the ball!
Three, Lilly is outfield she is not so sure about this. Batting was awesome she got to run all over the place. Everyone cheered for her when she hit the ball and she felt amazing about herself but being outfield is a little boring.... and hot..... and she never gets the ball so she decides she is tired and is just going to lay down in the middle of the field and wait for this boring part to get over, and that is exactly what she does!!
Sounds like fun doesn't it!

Another monumental moment in Lilly's life this year was her preschool graduation! We had such a wonderful time listening to all the wonderful songs she learned this year. She also had the opportunity to recite Ba Ba Black Sheep in front of everyone there all by herself and she did and amazing job. I also just wanted to say thank you to Rhett's sister Amy, who was her teacher this year. She was an amazing teacher and always so patient with Lil so thanks Amy we love you!!!
