A fun baseball game...

We took the kids to a baseball game a few weeks ago. We love to go and sit on the grass. They are not the greatest seats for adults, but man it is easier with the kids! :) They just run around, play and get to just enjoy the atmosphere. We had such a fun time.

Every year I try to get a picture of the kids with the mascot. It is fun to see how big the kids get each year! They made a game of it at the game for who could find him first. Luckily we got over to him quickly when he came down to the grass. Kids just bombard him where ever he goes!

My goofy boy with his "fork 'em devils" fingers. He was attempting a cute wink at the same time....not sure about that one! :)


Me and my boy! The kids were getting cold. We brought one blanket to sit on, but ended up needing to cover the kids with it. He was cold, so he wanted me to cuddle him...how could I argue with that face!


She just loves to spend time with daddy. I think he enjoys it too :)

It was such a fun time as a family. We get so caught up in all we have to do that it is nice sometimes to just relax and have fun. These are the moments the kids (and us) will remember. They won't remember the home projects, the errands, the daily grind. They will remember spending time with us doing things we love.

Critter's Class...

I have been searching for years to find a great gym for Critter to take classes.....I kid you not...years! I finally found this place and LOVE IT!! He has been taking gymnastics classes since the beginning of February. I am amazed at all he is learning. It is a nice transition to get ready for preschool next year. He gets to go to the class himself and I get to sit and watch. It is nice to see him branch out from me and explore the world.


I had to get some pictures of him being a crazy boy. I took him to open gym at the same gym and got to capture him having fun. He has learned so much and I am amazed at how strong he has gotten. It is such a great place for him, especially since it is getting hot out!

He loves this rope swing! I am amazed that he can get up there and hold on though....










He loves to run along this tramp and jump into the foam pit....





To say this guy gets his energy out is an understatement He does not stop moving at class or open gym. I love these days for nap time though! I usually have to wake him up to get his sister from school. He wears himself out, big time!





My goofy boy. I swear, this smile and personality melt my heart everyday! I am going to struggle with him going to school in the fall!

Not much I can say to this one....


It has been so nice to find a place I love and he is learning. He is truly becoming his own little guy. It is so great to see!

A Fairytale Night...

I have a feeling I will have a lot of posts coming to update all the goings on in our lives! We had another special time at Pumpkin's school last week. They had a Kindergarten Fairytale Night. The kids have been practicing for about 2 months....yes 2 months, on all these songs. They got to pick a fairytale character to dress up as. Luckily Hubby was able to go. It was such a special night. I kept tearing up watching how grown up our girl has become. She has such confidence. I love it! There are a bunch of videos, not of all the songs, but of most of my favorites! Again, enjoy my mommy bragging :)






I got to get a picture with my girl after the performance. I am so proud of her! She did such an amazing job. I could not believe all the songs she knew :)











Of course, after the performance in her heels and nice dress....what does she need to do? Of course, climb a tree! That is what you always do in heels and a sparkly dress....right? I love this part of her personality. She loves to be a girly-girl...yet still likes a little adventure :)
Critter had to get in on the action too! He has to do what sister does :)


It was such a fun night. I am amazed that the school year has gone by so quickly. There are so many memories that I am cherishing from this year.
