First Day of Tball

This year Beckett and Pierce are playing on the same tball team. And Daddy is the coach!

Today the boys had their first practice. They got all their equipment ready, even Sterling!

There are 13 kids on the team.

Pierce loved it! As soon as practice ended, he asked when the next one was.

This is Beckett's third year playing, so it's fun to get how much he has improved.

Mommy and Beckett Date

On Saturday Beckett got to use his "Mommy Date" certificate that he got for Christmas.  We went to Bullwinkles Fun Center. The first thing Beckett wanted to go in was the Sky Trail. 

We watched a few kids have to be rescued from the course, as we waited in line. I asked Beckett if he was sure he wanted to go and he said he was positive.

Beckett was super brave! 

Look at him go!

He loved it and wanted to go again!

Next we did the Go-Karts. Beckett didn't know his momma could drive so fast!

Then we played games 

And more games.

Beckett won some fun prizes. 

We ended the night at Red Robin.

So fun!

Easter 2016

This year we decided to do Easter a little differently.  In the years past, we have started the day with Easter baskets.  This year we postponed the baskets until later in the day and focused on what Easter is truly all about...Jesus' Resurrection.  After breakfast, we made Resurrection Rolls.

 We took a marshmallow (which symbolized Jesus' body),

 dipped the marshmallow in butter and sugar/cinnamon mixture (representing the oil and spices the body was anointed with upon burial)

 and wrapped in a crescent roll (representing the tomb).

 Then we baked them.

 We asked the kids to make a hypothesis on what would happen to the marshmallow, symbolizing Jesus in the tomb.  Beckett told us it would be gone because Jesus rose from the grave.

 He has risen indeed!

 In the afternoon we brought out the Easter baskets.

 Beckett was super excited about his new piano book

 and first video game!

 Pierce got some new batting gloves since tball starts tomorrow!

 Sterling found a bubble machine in his basket.

 We filled the neighborhood with bubbles

 and chased them all around!

 I think Sterling liked his gift.

 Then we headed to Nana's for an Easter Egg Hunt.

 Cousin Kane was ready to find some eggs.

 Marshall got in on the egg hunt this time.

 Sweet Cousins

 Then we had dinner with the family.

 Afterwards the kids had a great time riding their scooters all around Nana's neighborhood.

 Sterling wanted to keep up with the big kids!
