Happy Easter

We had a fun day today for Easter! We ate a yummy dinner at Grandma Brenda's house with Grandma Great, Aunt Sylvia and Uncle Don and the boys swam and played! The Easter Bunny made a hit this morning with some fun Army stuff and of course candy for the boys! I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!

Track Meet

Yesterday was the school track meet! It was lots of fun. All the 3rd, 4th and 5th graders competed. Tyler ran in the 100, 400 and 800. He did well considering he still had stitches in between his big toe and second toe! He said by the 2nd time he ran, it started hurting and you could tell from his facial expressions that was true!! Overall, he and all his friends did a super job!

A furry friend! Yikes!!

This afternoon we discovered a little visitor at our home. He was up above the front door up in the corner of the stucco. It was a bat!! My boys, of course, thought it was cool! Ryan even wanted scouts to come over and see it. He stayed there all day and when we got home after dark, he was gone. I was happy about that, the boys not so much. It was cool to look a though, from a distance! The boys can't wait to wake up in the morning and check outside to see if he is back :)

Tyler's Baseball Tournament

Tyler's tournament team (Thunder) played this week during spring break. They played two games on both Thursday and Friday. They played well considering they have been practicing together as a team for about 2 months and some teams they played have been together for two years! It was a lot of fun and we are looking forward to watching this team play again next month!

Bonfire at the River

We had alot of fun down at the river by our house tonight. There was a big bonfire and the boys got to make smores and run around by the river! It was fun to hang out with friends and enjoy the wonderful weather we are having right now! The rest of the day we were at the first day of Tyler's 2 day baseball tournament. He played two games for a total of 7 hours that we were hanging out at the ball fields!! Tomorrow the games aren't until the after noon but he has two games back to back! I will put some pics of this tournament up after tomorrows games!

Happy Birthday Audrey!

Baseball, Soccer and Basketball OH MY!

It is funny how when sports overlap sometimes they REALLY overlap! So, here it goes: Tyler and Ryan finished basketball but have now started baseball so this Saturday we had two baseball practices back to back. Then Jacob had his LAST basketball game but 2 hours before that he had his FIRST soccer game. This was all on one Saturday by the way! We literally had sports going on from 9am - 6:30pm with a few breaks in between. Now the sports are soccer and baseball. By the way, Tyler is on two baseball teams because of one being a travel/tournament team so he has 4 practices a week, Ryan has two and Jacob has two, this doesn't include the baseball games! Then you add scouts, playtime and mom and dad time. And then there is that small little detail of homework we have to fit in. I love it though, it keeps my boys active and encourages so many different experiences for them. (Don't ask me to say that again right smack dab in the middle of baseball season though, you might not get the same response!!) So, here are a few pictures of Jacob's last basketball game and 1st soccer game. The soccer game was funny because Jeff had been working with him on NOT touching the ball in soccer. We talked about it all the way to the soccer field in fact about putting his hands behind him if he thought he was going to touch the ball. Well, the first quarter he ended up being goalie and he didn't get that he could actually pick up the ball while playing goalie! It was so funny! Jeff ended up walking over and explaining it to him and then he got it and actually caught a ball that was about to go in and the other team DID NOT score! His team ended up winning their first game, Jacob loves soccer and can't wait to play again. Thanks Shondell and Alisha for being awesome coaches!
