Today is Jenna’s birthday.  I don’t know what we would have done without her this year! She is so good with the kids and we all love her.  We had a great time showering her a couple of weekends ago with gifts for sweet Maddison Clair.

This is how we spent our weekend…baseball!  We played Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.  It was a big time and our team improved each game.

Sam batting and E in the dug-out.  I think I enjoyed that as much as the game.  If you told me E would be a dug-out dad I would have called you a liar.  So fun watching him enjoying things with the kiddos.

Happy Birthday Nonna

Sam 5th 044

Happy birthday to the BEST Mother-In-Law a girl could ask for!  I feel SO lucky to have her in my life.  I can’t imagine a daughter in law and mother in law being any closer than we are.  She is always up for an adventure with the kids and I love that about her!  She is so fun and smart and classy!!!  She has ALWAYS supported me, no matter what and that means SO much!

She is the best Nonna and my kids are so blessed to have her in their lives.  They love her so much and love spending the night with her. Her family is her LIFE and we are all so blessed!  We love you Nonna and wish you the best birthday!
