SPRING BALL 2013

Dade had another awesome year playing baseball.

His understanding of the game has increased tremendously.

Which is part of what led to this.  His first caught out.

Look at his excitement!

Wendell, look at his tongue!

He is always excited for his teammates. 

He has a really love for all the boys on the team.

Second out!

Night game...great pictures.

He is getting so big!

Tag...you're OUT!

Father/Son teammates!

Ok, Dain might not like me putting this picture in...

Run, run like the wind.

Connection!

Go Phillies!

I think we are in for the long haul with this baseball stuff!

DATE NIGHT WITH ANGEL

A few months back Dain and I started taking the kids on "dates".  I got to take Aislyn first.

We headed to Main Street Days in Grapevine. 

Just last week and we were figuring out what to wear for Spirit Week Dress up as Your Future Career Day, she told me she wants to be a fire fighter.  Who knew?

Not sure I have mentioned this before, but she LOVES corn...especially corn on the cob.  I think she ended up eating almost three of them.

Her "fall back" career was to be a vet...seriously.

I was tempted to put in the video I took of this ride.  She was giggling so hard everyone around me was giggling too.

Last ride of the night...Ferris Wheel.

I had one of those Mommy Freak Out moments.  I suddenly realized she wasn't strapped in or anything and could jump out of the cart at any moment.  Any one else have these similar experiences?  

CLOVE 3 MONTHS

Sisterly Love.

Every good blog has an adorable picture of a baby in a baby towel...check.

Clove is 11 days shy of 3 months old in this picture. There is no holding her back.

She has the strength, just needs the balance.

Sorry guys, I have the cutest baby in the world.

And everyone knows it!

TEA PARTY

One of the beauties of preschool age children is the flexibility to have play dates and actually have the energy to make it fun.

Tea anyone?

I bet they would share....

CLOVE 2 MONTHS

I still want to eat this little one up.

Clove is so big now that I can't wait to get this blog caught up so you can see how much she has grown.

She has always been an angel little girl.

We call her baby love.

As you can see, she is very loved.

Grayer is always, even today right by her side.

Smiles and Smiles.

A second of grumpy, then...

back to smiles.

HERE WE GO

Ok, here we go.  I have taken a "break" (baby break) for several months now and am ready to get back at it.

The posts, I hope, will be coming fast and furious.  I have like 8 months to fill you in on.

First up...

Grayer is potty trained.

After a failed attempt in March (if you're interested...it involves broken glass, blood everywhere, potty, etc. the list goes on and one]) we are happy to say "One More Done".

Good Work Gray Bear!!!

POOL, POOL ,POOL

So, after several months of going back and forth with pool companies we finally did it.

Day 1 - Feb. 19, 2013 

This pictures shows the large portion of the fence they removed to bring in the bump trucks and excavators.

Since it was school time, Gray and Clove (who was napping) was the only one here to see it. 

Daddy took a little break from work to see the action.

Look how big that thing is!!!

Fast forward a few weeks and we have a big mess, but at least it resembles a pool.

Installing the fence.

We had a sitting wall built.

This is the view from one of the upstairs bedrooms.

Completion!!!

So, now comes a new title...

Boy Swimmer #1

Girl Swimmer #2

Boy Swimmer #3

Boy Swimmer #4

His face makes it all worth it.

Who wants to go swimming?
