Blastball!

Aidan has had his first two blastball games! If you don't know what blastball is, it's like t-ball but with just one base (that honks when you step on it!). It's for 3 and 4-year-olds and score isn't kept, so it's just a great way to introduce them to the sport. We played in the fall but in the spring it's a little different...uniforms, way more teams, practices every week, etc! All the kiddos are doing great. We are on the same team as a few of our Mom's Club friends, and a neighbor who also goes to our church (his dad is our coach...and Daniel is one of the assistant coaches!). Today we played against some of our friends that are on the red team, which was fun. Aidan's friend Kaelyn came to cheer for both teams :) Go Orange Crush!

Grammy's Big Debut

My mom was invited to speak at a Baylor Women's Luncheon in Dallas this past weekend. Her hilarious website (link to the right) has been very successful and this was her first speaking engagement. Several of her friends came to see her, and so did my aunts and a cousin, and a couple of my friends. My mom was hilarious!! She did great and brought the house down...just as funny in person as in her articles. Go Grammy!

Zoo Fun

Here are some pictures from our trip to the Dallas Zoo this past Monday. We went with our Mom's Club, and Grammy came too so it was a lot of fun! Avery and I got to ride a camel which was really neat. Aidan was going to, but decided at the last minute he didn't want to. Not my fearless daughter!

Camel time!

Ever since Aidan's first trip to the zoo around age 1, my friend Tracey and I have gotten a picture of Aidan and her daughter Kaelyn together at the fish tank. It's fun to see how much more grown-up they look each year! Here's this year's, along with their friend Aitor:

Happy Easter!!

Papi, Grammy, and Uncle Jason were here for Easter weekend! This week has been an egg hunt overload...Aidan and Avery hunted for eggs with our Mom's Club earlier this week, and then again at MDO on Thursday. On Saturday they went to a birthday party where we hunted for more eggs...we were planning to go to our church's egg hunt that morning too, but decided to skip it. We went to church this morning and then found out that the Easter Bunny had visited our house while we were gone (I didn't take pictures because we need to weed so bad)! Needless to say we have a few dozen eggs if you want any! After we hunted for eggs we enjoyed a delicious meal that Grammy had made. Happy Easter!

More Soccer Tots

Daddy took off early one afternoon to come watch Avery in action at Soccer Tots. She has one more class left! She is not exactly the most skilled or disciplined 2-year-old in the class but hey, she's 2! At least she is getting exercise and having fun :)

Fossil Rim

This past Saturday we got to go to Fossil Rim with Daniel's family. It was so neat...his mom's husband gave us a personalized tour and we got to see tons of really cool animals up close. Several of them came right up to the van to eat out of our hands. Halfway through the tour we stopped to have lunch and visit a petting zoo which Avery loved! The kids both conked out on the way home :)

Go Bears!!!

This past Friday Daniel and I drove down to Houston with some friends to the Baylor basketball game against St. Mary's. We were ahead by several points the whole time so it wasn't that exciting, and our seats were pretty crummy, but we had a great time. We dropped Aidan and Avery off in Crawford and they had fun with Grandpa and Nanna. Daniel went back down to Houston today for the Baylor/Duke game which was MUCH more exciting (so close until the very end!) but we lost :( We're still proud of our Bears!

Some random pics

Here are some miscellaneous things we've been up to. Our Spring Break was very low-key...March is REALLY busy for Daniel because it's right before tax season, so it was mostly me and the kids.

We lounged around at home a little:

We went to the park so Aidan could practice riding his tricycle. He may get a small bike with training wheels for his birthday!

We played with our friends Rhett, Wyatt, and Bryce in Allen:



Aunt Lindsay came with us to an outdoor concert in Allen one evening:


We combined two of Aidan's favorite things (pizza and cooking) by making our own Chef Boyardee pizza one night:

We woke up to the most random snowfall EVER on Sunday morning! This was after my kids played outside with short sleeves Friday afternoon (and they're doing the same thing today...go figure!)
