A pretty good morning...

AM recently got some great outdoor play stuff like BUBBLES and SIDEWALK CHALK!!

Cup of coffee, pups playing in the yard, kids playing on the porch, husband sleeping it off:), Made for a pretty good morning!

C is playing T-ball!!

So for the spring, we signed C up for T-ball. He seems to like it pretty well. They have practice once a week on Thursdays and then games on Saturday. He has missed a couple due to having strep throat and he has to run laps. His coach is a real slave driver!!

Yes, B is coach again. He just loves being in charge! JOKES! He just loves C so much and loves helping him learn these new things, like sports. C is one of the bigger kids on the team this season and I think he prefers that!!





And here is C throwing a runner out at first. Of course its the YMCA so no one is ever out, but C is really GREAT at fielding!!

I am trying some different formats for the videos...

Mmmm...Edamame...

don't forget about Easter...

Look at my little bunnies!!!! Love THEM!

So for Easter Church we went to a Baptist Church because my Department chair was playing a piano solo and she invited us...and we went. This was so fun and a big deal because I have always been anti-baptist because of their BIG church and everything so fancy smancie, BUT WE LOVED IT!!! and they don't drink...huh? I know!?!? It was so amazing. By the 3rd song, B and I were both crying. Maybe it was because we were sans kids, but it might have been just the AMAZINGNESS of it all...

Here is a family picture...this is as good as it gets...

We did the Easter egg hunt after church... The Easter Bunny had hid the eggs before church and so some squirrels had got to a few eggs. I hate to be them later that day :)

These kids love Easter and all the Easter that Easter brings them!!

So then we took the cousins to the zoo!!

Don't worry...I've been in touch with Andy and he told me about how great Mac is, but how they are elitist...

Look at these lovable cousins at the zoo:)

Here is a pic of everyone...but me, climbing:)
C is really giving James the evil eye...he really wanted his turn at the helm!
James helped C pet the goats. C is a bit skittish when it comes to getting dirty and petting random animals!!
Before Andy composed himself, these 3 had a go on the carousel. Notice how my sweet C is holding on for dear life and the other two are carefree. Needless to say, C did not go on the Carousel again and made me swear not to show the video of him shaking and holding on with all that is good and holy!

Chuck E Cheese's...where a kid can be a KID!!!

We loved this place. Aside from my POOR table choice, this was a great place to have a birthday party...or just an afternoon!! James immediately found the video camera where everyone in the place could see him...huh?

EVERYONE loved all the age-appropriate games...even B!!! Here is putting out some fires with his nephew, James!

I am glad to see some adults didn't let the kids steal all the fun...or tokens!!

I mean honestly, do these guys look like they are having fun or no?

Here is my precious AM's birthday cupcake cake with princesses...PERFECT!!!

To my dismay...

I am having trouble uploading my pictures on this super rad new Mac my hubby got me for Christmas(bless his heart). I am a Mac idiot...there, I said it, maybe now Andy will call me back. At any rate, So much to share, but I am not much of a reader...I like pictures and I assume EVERYONE is like me. Luckily, not many people read this, so I am not letting many people down, BUT for my loyal two readers (thanks mom and GG), You have to know that I only read the Ads on Sunday and it is soooo important for me to post pictures. Therefore, I have forgone any posting until I can figure this thing out...In time, In time:)

BUT, If you were wondering. AM is sick...AGAIN! We took her to the DR on Friday for a hearing problem (we thought it was selective hearing), but the wax in her ear was so hard and built up, they could clear it out. We will hopefully see an ENT on Friday. In the meantime, her fever is up. This presents a problem for B and I as we both work. We are always torn with what to do. Fever willing, we can take her to Ms. Lisa's. We can and have taken off of work to play hand off the sick kid, but it is hard to continue to do that. Last resort, we burden B's mom...yet again. We are so lucky Granny is here and willing to help us out. BUT, man, these kids are AWESOME until they get sick!!

AC is crawling like a fool. We set her down and she is gone to another room in 10 seconds. I remember now why we keep discouraging her to crawl. She is great though. Eats WELL, sleeps Well and is very content! We have been told and agree that she looks like the consummate baby with her pigtails, chubby cheeks and big blue eyes! She loves her older siblings!!!

C is doing well also! We decided to "hold him back", as they say. It is LITERALLY the harder decision you will ever make, deciding what is best for your kids. When it came down to it, we would rather C have an edge by being older and couldn't justify our stinginess(public school is FREE) for his future. He will be in a pseudo-preschool again called "transitional kindergarten". We have heard such GREAT things. He is also enjoying t-ball this season coached by his Dad!!


I hope to figure this picture thing out soon!! I don't write so good :)
