Alex's last day of Tball...


After Alex's last game we headed straight to the baseball complex for hot dogs and trophies....It was very cute...Alex seemed to really love tball and he is already asking to play again next spring! Hopefully, he'll do a little more playing next year and a little less dancing and playing in the dirt! Alex and Emily both decided to do fall soccer, so I signed them both up....We'll see the fun that brings!

Alex's Trip to Kindergarten...

I am sooo behind on blogging....I've been very busy chasing 3 kids, who all seem to be going different directions lately...And Nicky's direction is RIGHT BEHIND ME...ALL THE TIME!!! Anyway, back in March, Alex had a bus trip to visit his kindergarten so he could get a basic idea in his head. Emily did this as well. It's very cute and he had alot of fun on the bus....

Earth Day 2012

After Alex's tball game last Saturday morning, we went to the library for a little bit and then headed to the park for the Earth Day Celebration. The kids love going and walking around. There are so many different vendors and people handing out free stuff. The kids each got a pansy and an herb to plant. They got cookies, frisbees, bags, lemonade and coloring books. There is also live music which is fun. We picked a spot near the stage and the kids had fun dancing and playing with their new frisbees. We went to the playground afterwards to play and dig in the sand. After that we went home and Emily left for the zoo with her friend Callie. The boys and I stayed outside and played with the hose and Crayola color bubbles....which I swore we would never play with again after last summer's mess....But- who cares- you're only a kid once!  By the end of the day I had some dirty, messy, and blue painted, but HAPPY children and that's all that matters! We came inside to take a bath and then went outside to play a little more. Nicky was passed out by 6:30pm. There was no waking him up. He slept all the way until the next morning.....and we started all over again. I can't wait til summer!!!

ABC

You might want to pause the music at the bottom so you can hear...Also, if you listen closely, you can hear Nicky singing along!

My Little Ball Player!

These are some pictures I took before and during Alex's first tball game. I'm so glad he asked to sign up, because we love going to his games and he loves playing. He has learned alot since he first started. He has learned how to properly throw a baseball and how to "catch" grounders in his glove. Sometimes he gets a little distracted in the outfield, (dancing, turning his back, playing with dirt), but all the players seem to lose focus at time. As long as he loves it, that's all that matters!







Number 2

His first game!

Guess What?

Guess what sweet little boy had his very first t-ball practice today and guess what mommy forgot her camera sitting on the table? I promise to take pictures next practice which is on Saturday the 24th. It was the cutest thing I ever saw! He loved it......However, while practicing catching with the glove tomorrow, remind me to teach my son how to chew gum....Today was his first time having it. His coach gave everyone a piece for a good practice. He told me that he loved it so much he swallowed it........He was quite proud of himself though because I've told him gum is for big kids before and so he thought he was pretty special. Emily and Nicky sat with me on the blanket. I think next time I will bring her homework so we can do it there. I'm so proud of my little guy. I hope he loves playing baseball as much as his Daddy does!!!
