Snake party!

A friend of ours had a snake guy come to his 6th birthday party! He brought about 10 different snakes and told us all about them. It was a lot of fun and very educational. Blake hung around and pet some of the snakes, but Cody high-tailed it upstairs once it was petting time!!

T-ball

We had a great t-ball season this year. The team we were on had great kids and great parents, and our coaches were fantastic. They genuinely cared about the kids and wanted them to have FUN, not just learn baseball. The boys grew a lot this season, and you can see a huge difference between the beginning of the season and now. Next season is coach pitch!! Go A's!!!
Fyi...Cody is #6, black helmet and Blake is #7, red helmet

We can ride 2 wheelers!!

The boys asked a few times about riding a two wheeler, so we finally bit the bullet and did it! We had tried last summer, but they didn't show much interest so I gave up. They both did super well, and were very brave! We loaded up on protective gear, and came out with only one major scrape!! Now we have two official bike riders!!!

This is a video of Blake soon after he became independent!!

Field Day!!

Kindergarten field day was a blast!! The weather was great. It was warm but overcast. The kids did karaoke, dancing in the gym, water balloons, races, and of course, tug o' war!!! We all had a really good time.

Mr Cool Man Cody dancing in the gym--that's his teacher Ms Gardner behind him. He adores her! She calls him Cody Poo...but don't tell him I told you that!!

My two tug o' war winners! Blake's class got 2nd place, Cody's got 3rd.

Take me out to the ballgame!

It was Little League day at the Ballpark so a couple of the kids from our tball team went. The boys got to parade around the field before the game, and they thought it was so neat!! Tadd's parents came up with Collin, and my mom came also. It was a beautiful beautiful day and we had a great time!!

It's not a baseball game without a hot dog!!

The three cousins

Easter decorating in Waco

We went to Waco for Easter weekend and for Trish's baby shower. The boys had tons of fun playing with Collin and the girls (as usual). We practiced baseball, swam in the hot tub, chased spiders with Mimi, and of course, decorated eggs!!! ... And cupcakes...and cake!!!!

Cody's finished eggs.

Decorating cupcakes

Our finished cupcakes, cake, and eggs!! whew!!!

New tball season

Since we didn't play tball in the fall, we are on a new team this season. We really like our new coach...he seems to pay a lot more attention to the kids as individuals, and they are having FUN.


Not many pics yet but we have lots of games to come!!!

Spring Break 2010

We are alive!! We survived the snow storm of February, flew through March, and now here we are... almost mid April!!!

Here are some very belated pictures from our Spring Break trip. We went to San Antonio for a few days. We visited with my college roommate Leslie and her family...and for whatever reason I slacked BIG time in the photo department!!!
We also went to Six Flags Fiesta Texas. We have season passes for six flags this year, so hopefully we'll make lots of trips.

Mommy and her boys

Yummmmm....cotton candy!

At the end of the day with all their winnings!

God Bless the committee who voted "yes" for beer sales at Six Flags!!!!
