Silly pics for Dad!!

In an effort to be original and give a thoughtful, meaningful gift to Tadd for Father's day, I copied an idea from a girlfriend and made a silly pic collage.  The boys and I had fun taking the pictures and I think Dad liked it.  It's got to make him smile at least!!!

This absolutely cracked me up.  I don't know where Blake got this from, but he got Tadd's shoes and knelt down in them so he looked like a midget.  It was so funny.

Trip to Port Aransas

We made our 2nd annual trip to Port Aransas with Tadd's family the day after school let out.  It was us, Nandy & Papaw, and Trish, Jordan, Kylee, and Addy.  Troy and the kids couldn't make it this year because of softball obligations.  We sure missed them!!

My precious little family

The cousins...Addy is a little beach bum.  She loved it!

My beautiful nieces

Blake being silly (of course!!)

Kylee and I parasailing.  When the girls that went before us were up in the air, the boat driver turned too fast and they lost their breeze and floated down into the water!!!  I was so nervous after that.  I would've had a stroke I think if that had happened to us.

 We had a really good time and look forward to making this a yearly trip!!

First grade awards

At the end of the year, the school had awards for each grade.  Nothing too exciting, just 1st grade completion certificates and reading certificates.  Basically each kid gets his/her name called and gets to stand up and be clapped for.  Exciting stuff.  I, personally, was hoping for my kids to get "smartest" and "most handsome"...but I guess they didn't want to make the other kids feel bad.  ;)

My handsome almost 2nd graders!

Cody being recognized.  So bashful.

My sweet Blakey cheesing it up for me in the audience.

Serious boy.

My dokey with his new summer cut!!

1st grade program

The boys had a first grade program this year and it was super cute.  The theme was based off "Old McDonald", and the cow had lost it's moo.  Cody was a chicken and Blake was a sheep.  One of these days I'll figure out how to get a video on here!

Blake in all his sheepness.

Cody bug.  He had feathers on his hands for his chicken.

Post show...I made them stop playing to take this picture so they're not really into it.  And Cody's too cool to keep his chicken apparel on. 

Rangers' Little League Day

The Rangers host a little league day every year, and the kids get to walk around the field and see themselves on the jumbotron.  They really like it and we had a great time last year and this year.

Can't go to a ball game and not get ice cream!

...and nachos!!

We went to Joe's Crab Shack after the game with Mimi, Nandy, and Papaw.

Spring Baseball!

We had another fun baseball season on the Athletics.  We've been with the same team for 3 seasons now and we really enjoy all the kids and the parents.  We were lucky to get a great team.  We might not be the best in the league, but the boys have fun.

It's coach pitch again this year (until they are 9), and Tadd was the pitcher this season!!  He did a great job!!
