Wordless Wednesday

These are the moments I'll remember all my life...

And I could not ask for more!

Happy Easter!

Giants in the Outfield

The baseball season has officially begun! Baseball is one of the favorites in our house and my boys look forward to the start of every season. We register Bobby for baseball with Rincon Little League. We buy our annual tickets to a Cubs vs. Diamondbacks game. (This year, we also had to order a Cubs foam finger for Bobby to wear to the game.) Then, we sit back and enjoy the F-U-N that comes with a new season!

2012 A-Ball Giants

My little Giant

The best of buds!!!

In the field...

Up to bat...

First hit of the season...Bobby was the lead-off hitter! :)

Getting ready to score the first run of the season!

This photo is one of my favorites! I caught

him pretending to catch fly balls...look at the utter

concentration on his face. There really isn't

a ball in play yet! LOL!!!

Game 2: Bobby's first (inside-the-park) homerun!

Touching home plate to make it official!

Bonding time!

I love watching the excitement on Bobby's face before each game! He wants to get his uniform on hours before the game and double checks with us to make sure he won't be late. He's such a sweetie! I am so thankful that I get to be a participate in each season with him.

Play ball!

Spring Fever or Cabin Fever?!?

Spring break came with a dose of cabin fever this year. We tried to stay close to home to make Andy's potty training experience successful...which meant A LOT of together time for everyone. Our time at home payed off! We can officially say that all of our little ones are now diaper free!!!

Although I am sad that my baby is growing up (way too fast), I'm happy that we don't have to shell out $45 for another box of diapers. Soon the birthday rush will start in our house, marking one more year for each of my munchkins. Here are just a few of the snapshots of the last week of our spring break:

Wacky weather...it's hailing!

Hanging with his Build-a-Bear buddy!

Happy Spring Break....Week 2!!!

Twitterpated

"Nearly everybody gets twitterpated in the springtime."

Spring fever is officially here. The kids want to be outside, playing and enjoying the beautiful weather. They are definitely twitterpated! I love this time of year. I love the colors, the candy, and laughing with my little ones. We kicked off spring this year with a field trip to the zoo, a carnival, and some potty training fun.

Katie's Kindergarten Field Trip

Katie and one of her best friends, Brooke

A peek at what the animals eat

A popsicle for the polar bear!

Behind the scenes with the rhino. She didn't want

to cooperate during our visit and wouldn't come close

enough for the kids to pet her.

Behind the scenes and up close with the sun bear

Feeding a giraffe for the very first time! :)

My little animal lover! She had a wonderful time at the zoo

and I was so happy that I got to go with her!

Spring Fling Carnival 2012

My "baby" rides a pony solo!

Katie enjoying her time on the pony

Darts with Mrs. Montes

Andy did his victory dance after every game, throwing his

hands up and saying "Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh, oh, oh yeah"! :)

The frisbee toss

My munchkins with Comet

Bobby got his face painted with a football and a baseball.

He loves these two sports with a passion! :)

Potty Training: Week 1

Andy telling me he "Don't want to talk about it"! (He does

this now when he wants to avoid something. Makes me laugh!)

The potty king!

Spring cleaning in his big boy pants!

I have enjoyed every minute of our spring break together! It took a few days, but Andy has been doing very well with the potty training...he hasn't had a wet accident at all this week! He's so excited about wearing his big boy underwear and can't wait to go pick out some new ones!

Happy spring!!!

I've a feeling we're not in Kansas any more!

A new year has come and gone. Two whole months have passed and I haven't blogged once...not once! :( I've had every intention of blogging, but then this thing called life gets in the way. Life so far has included baseball, homework, sick kids, sick me, parent-teacher conferences, Vail Pride Day, Valentine's Day, the Q & U wedding, report cards...the list is endless!

So as Dorothy says "I've a feeling we're not in Kansas any more." I feel like I've been caught in a twister for the past 60 days. Constantly on the go. Despite the fast pace of life, I have taken the time to stop and smell the roses at home. Here are the sweetest smelling ones!

Katie holding sweet baby Brinley for the first time!

The four muskateers: "All for one and one for all!"

What's this stuff under my toes???

I love you!!!

There's always time for a spot of tea!

Happy Valentine's Day to me!!! :)

I've decided what my 2012 New Year's resolution should be (just a few weeks late). I WILL find time weekly to blog. I want to remember these days...and the only way I'm going to do that is if I write them down. Hold me to it. A blog a week for 52 weeks!!!
