Go Bulls

I have a feeling that a lot of my posts for the next few months might revolve around baseball. Pretty much because our life revolves around baseball right now and mostly because Josh is one adorable baseball player.

This year he is on the Durham Bulls. The teams in his division are named after minor league baseball teams. Tonight's game was fun. Josh was awesome!

I have to say that I the Team Mom did a pretty good job designing the banner ;)

For the first part of the game Josh played 1st base

He hit a line drive

Running to 1st

Score!

The last part of the game he was catcher

Catching those foul balls

Good game

I love seeing Josh have so much fun enjoying something he loves and that he is really good at. We have baseball 3 nights next week, so I am sure there are more baseball posts to come.  

Happy St. Patty's Day

Cute boys ready for "green day" at school

Themed days at school are always tons of fun!

My Boy and His Toys

My husband is the ultimate kid and I have a garage full of toys to prove it. I have to say though, he uses every toy he has. He isn't one of those who gets into a hobby and then never does the activity again. (Wait, I take it back. If any of you know the "rope" story.... that may be one hobby he hasn't revisited... HA!) For the most part, he uses all his toys on a regular basis.

He has been hinting to me for a while now about getting another new toy. Since I am the responsible one around here, I always say no. Recently, things happen to work out in a certain situation that made it totally possible for him to finally get his much wanted new toy, so I gave in.

So this is what he and I did today while my awesome sister was here visiting and stayed with the boys.

When he first got it, I was totally a little embarrassed because I feel like we are showing our age. I just picture old people on these kind of motorcycles. I have to admit though that it is super fun. And having a cute pink and black helmet helps too.

Should be a fun summer!!

Wordless Wednesday

Josh's Day Off

Friday was no school for Josh because we had a Teacher in Service Day. I still had to work, but had no students to teach. Mike was also off on Friday, so he and Josh took advantage of the beautiful day and went dirt bike riding. Jason went to school maybe four times the whole month of February, so I took him to school and he was excited to see all his friends.
Before Josh hit the trail Mike had him practice in the open lot. Here is some video Mike got of him. Josh was so excited that he rode in 2nd gear.

Disney on Ice

Wednesday night we took the boys to see Disney on Ice. The show always comes to town, but it is usually princess shows. This time is was Toy Story 3.

We have had our tickets for awhile, so the boys were pretty excited about it. But what they didn't know was that they had front row seats. It was pretty awesome!!


Waiting for the show to start

We were so stinkin close, but too bad the huge spotlight was right in front of us

I have about 160 pictures I took. I may have gotten a little carried away. The characters were within arms length of us, so I couldn't help myself every time they skated over.

I loved the Barbies. They had the best choreography!

Josh pretty much clapped and cheered the whole time

Jason's favorite part was when Buzz and Ken wrestled right in front of him 

Barbie and Ken did some pretty awesome pair skating. Their lifts were super cool. Too bad I didn't get a good pic of them.

Andy and his box of toys. He may have fallen right in front of us and totally made Mike's night.

At the very end I realized I should have taken some video. This is a short clip that doesn't do any justice to the show.

What fun memories!!



A Little Fun and a Lot of Sickness

It is officially winter break. YAHOO!!! We have lots of fun stuff planned and some surprises for the boys these week. Too bad they are sick. Not just cough, runny nose sick. They both have double ear infections, on albuterol breathing treatments for their congestion and wheezing, vomiting, high fevers and Josh has a perforated ear drum.  My poor babies! They missed 2 1/2 days of school last week and 2 this week. Mike and I took turns staying home with them. I pray they get better real fast!!

Even though they have been sick we were able to sneak in a few days of fun on the days they were feeling a well.

Josh had his 100th day of Kindergarten. This is a big deal. Big celebration all day long in the Kindergarten classes. Unfortunately, he had to go home early that day with a fever but he was able to enjoy the fun for a little bit.

Both Josh and Jason had fun Valentine's Day parties in their classes. We had fun making all their Valentine's to send to school for their friends and teachers. My class had a field trip that day and a party. Too bad Daddy had to work that night so we didn't get to see him until Wednesday after school.

We came home to this.

The best Vday gift ever wasn't the roses, mushy card or my fave champagne. It was the spotless, clean house we came home to. My hubby is getting good in his old age.
The boys and I had a super mellow night. We made heart pizza and drank pink milk for dinner. Jason was not a fan of the pink milk at all though... too girly. Then it was bedtime, so we read all the Valentine's books we had and called it a night.

Hopefully, these boys can have a restful weekend and get healthy for our week off.
