Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Matt started T Ball last week. 
I have LOVED watching him play (and improve!)

I honestly can’t believe how fun his games are.
I would rather watch Matt that professionals!  He’s so cute.
(And one of his coaches is really cute too---Darin).

Last night was particularly fun!
Matt got TWO home runs!  Both times off an overhand pitch!

So proud of this little ball player!

Summer Is Here!

Wednesday Heather invited us over for a water party!

We had SO MUCH FUN!!

We were supposed to bring a treat to share, 

so the kids picked some peas and strawberries from the garden.

Thanks a million Heather!

You've Got a Hole in Your Smile!!

Matthew lost his first tooth!!

Princesses and Pirates

Today we went to Farmington Crossing for a Princess and Pirate Party.  I couldn't believe how many people were there--it was PACKED, but the kids had fun!

They had pirate bowling and Matt got a STRIKE on his first try!  He got to pick a prize from the treasure chest.

Lindsay loved getting to see all the princesses.  Belle, Aurora, Cinderella, and the Fairy Godmother were there too, but the lines were a little too long.

The Queen of Hearts and Alice were DARLING with Lindsay, and said, "Hello Princess!"  

She loved it!

I am 99.9% convinced that this is a REAL pirate!

He even "pierced" Matt's ear.  (He didn't love that).

I love this little princess and pirate!!

African Safari at Hogle Zoo

Today Kristy invited us to the African Safari Grand Opening!

It was SUCH a FUN day!

The kids got free cookies, sunglasses, masks, tattoos, and art projects.

We rode on the new train, the carousel, and learned how to play African drums.

We went to the bird show, (so fun to run into you Gina), and saw the new animals.

It was a PERFECT day!  Thanks again Kristy!
