Take Me Out to the Ballgame!

This weekend was Ethan's first T-Ball game. I sure felt old. I remember going to my brothers T-Ball games and now I am taking my own son to them!! Ethan's Team is very entertaining. I didn't know if I was watching T-Ball or Football. We'll get to that in a minute. Ethan's Team is the BULL FROGS I did not get a say in the name. We played the Red Hawks this week. Ethan was so excited to play, he kept asking us how many more days until Tball? We got there and he couldn't understand that if he was on the Bull frogs why was there a Bee on his jersey? How do you explain the word "Sponsor" to a four year old? Well in TBall, the whole team gets a chance to bat, there are no outs and evidently no keeping track of the score. Good thing because we only had 9 people on our team and the other team had 13. If everyone Bats in an inning, you can do the math, we would have lost. It was so fun to watch the boys hit the ball and then take off running, they did not care where they ran they only heard the coach say run, so they did. They eventually ended up on first base. It was funny because when the game started there were 4 coaches on the field, I thought how come they need that many? I soon found out it was to point everyone where they needed to go. Then comes defense. Our team was a bunch of football players. EVERYONE ran to the ball and fought for it, even though they were all on the same team. When one boy came up with it all the parents would yell, throw it to first! But the boys were not going to let that ball out of their hands, they just ran it to first. I have not laughed so hard in my life! Here is the picture of Ethan Tackling his friend blake for the ball: We had a long talk on the way home about sharing and Team work. All in all I think it will be good for Ethan, hopefully he will learn to share by the end of the Season. If any of you are interested in some laughs, here is his schedule, all games are played at Nolan Park in the Ranches. April 26 10:00am May 3 12:00pm May 7 6:00pm May 10 12:00pm May 17 11:00am May 24 10:00am May 31 12:00pm See You There!

Happy Birthday Emilee!

Wow how time flies! Our little Emilee turned two yesterday! We met all of our family at IHOP for a Birthday Breakfast. It was a lot of fun and she was spoiled rotten! She got a new bike from Mom and Dad that she rides around the house, she evidently can not walk up and down the hall anymore, she needs her bike. She got a tea set and food from Grandma and grandpa and she is constantly shoving plastic food in our face, that we have to eat. We eat it just to make her stop but she just keeps coming back with more. You hand her the food back and say no thank you and she screams at you MORE!!! The way she says it makes you scared if you don't take more. Grandma Linda gave her necklaces and candy and clothes. She got her first barbie from Keri, Nate and Family, a new baby doll with all of the accessories from Matt, Kim and Family, and a build your own bear set from Amanda and Alan. Like I said she is spoiled! Here are some highlights of the day, Enjoy!

We are so blessed to have Emilee with us, she is loud and outspoken but we know that she can get whatever she wants out of life-she is stubborn enough to wait for it! We Love you Emilee!
