T-ball

Kennedy has been playing t-ball for about 3 weeks now....actually they have been practicing for 3 weeks.  Last night was the first game and wow was it fun.  They only played 2 innings and Kennedy liked to bat.  The 1st inning she swung a couple of times and missed, but hit it really well off the tee.  The 2nd inning she hit the ball on the first pitch.  It was awesome!!!  She played 3rd base the first inning and 1st base the second inning.  Here are a few pictures and the video of her in the second inning is the next post.

Kenendy is #4.  Next at bat!

Taking a practice swing....

playing 3rd.  at least she looks like she belongs!!!

The coach to help...this was after she kicked the gravel and it went in her eyes.  wow.

playing 1st...

stretching at 1st base...shortly after this picture she screamed at me (I was at the fence on the 3rd base line) "Mom, when is this over?!"  Classic.

Running to get drinks after they shook the other teams hand. 

Nana and Georgie were there to watch and Carter did a good job of cheering!

This past Tuesday, Kennedy's class went on a field trip to the zoo.  It was great!  Carter andd I got to tag along and we had a great time!!  Kennedy's is in the yellow shirt and white skirt.  

Giraffes

The orangutan came right up to the window to check out the kids.  It was great!

There are 14 in the class.  Kennedy's friend, Kingston, is in the sunglasses on the far right.  Now you know why she hangs out with him!!  Kennedy, of course, front and center!!!

Carter really liked the lion.

Carter....again with the ladies.



 

Mother's Day

We had a nice little surprise on Mother's day when we found 3 little eggs under one of our bushes in the front yard.  I am guess Robin's eggs, because they are blue, but have no idea really!  The kids thought it was awesome, however they have since disappeared.  "I'm sure the mom came and got them!"  Said Kennedy...I'm sure it was the neighbors dog.  :)

Happy Mother's Day!!  I can't believe how lucky I am to have 2 beautiful, healthy kids!!!



Easter!!!!

The day before Easter the kids and I made a coffee cake for Easter morning.  There were highs and lows....

Easter Party!

Kenendy had a Easter party and it was alot of fun.  They played games at circle time and had an easter egg hunt.  Carter got to participate and Kennedy was a wonderful big sis to help! 

Carter hung out with one of Kennedy's classmates twin sisters.  What a ladies man!!!

This is Kennedy's BFF, Kingston.

What a good big sis!!!!

Soccer Time!!

Kennedy did a little soccer camp in April and May. It was 4 Monday's in a row and it was really fun! She was usually on the team that won, however was always upset because she never scored a goal. I'm not sure that will be here sport of choice, but we will see. She can run pretty fast..ok she keeps up with the other kids! :) She isn't very aggressive though, so who knows. Here are a couple pictures of the fun!

Carter watching the action!

  

My parents came for a visit in April for Matt's jr recital.  Here are a few pics!

Matt and fam at the jr recital.  We are so proud of you Matt!!!!!

Spring Time Part 2

Carter replanting his tomatoes...

Tomatoes from earlier.  They went crazy!!!

Kennedy replanting her flowers.

Hers had a little trouble...maybe should have listened to mom and covered the seeds better.  Don't worry I didn't remind her of that!  :)

Carter looking very excited about his tomatoes!

Kennedy watering..

Kennedy took a pic of Carter and I.

We will keep you posted on the growth of the plants!

Potty Training?

So he tells me he is stinky, but he won't go potty in the toilet or wear big boy underwear.  He isn't waking up dry from nap or in the mornings so I am really not pushing it, but these were too cute to keep to myself!!!

Here is Carter trying to go potty.  He has never gone in the toilet but this time he was yelling, "go pee pee!"  At least he knows what is supposed to happen!!!

Gradient (Tony's company) bought a new jet and the kids were dying to see it. You can see the "G" on the side. Last week we dropped Tony off and the kids were able to get inside.  2 pilots in training!!!!

Oh, Kennedy!

Kennedy has been watning to go swimming.  With the weather being cold one day and hot the next, it is easy to explain that it is Spring and we swim during the summer when it is hot all the time.  Sunday it was about 80 degrees outside.  After having the conversation again about how we are NOT swimming today, I had to run and get a table that someone borrowed from us.  When we pulled up, the little girl who lives there was wearing her swimming suit.  Kennedy of course commented on it immediately and I got out to get the table.  As I was putting it in the back of the car with the help of the mother of swimsuit girl, Kennedy turns around and says, "Excuse me.  Actually it is not time for swimsuits."  I couldn't get the trunk of the Tahoe down fast enough.  This is going to be a great summer!!!!
