Batter Up!!

Making friends on 2nd base

Last night Brody had his first Coach Pitch game!  I think Jeremy and I were more nervous then he was.  As the parents we were so afraid he wouldn't make contact with the ball and he would get frustrated or sad and want to quit!  Not the case at all!  Every time Brody got up to bat he made contact!  It was AWESOME!  He ran the bases like a pro and even made a friend or too along the way!  It was a great start to baseball season!

Over Spring Break, my sister and her girls flew in from Pennsylvania to spend 10 days with us.  The cousins had so much fun playing together, I wish they would move back so they could play all the time!  Yesterday, my Mom decided she wanted a picture of the grandkids and her.  What a joke!  I seriously don't know how you people do these family pictures where you all look adorable.  We can't ever seem to get all the kids looking in the same direction let alone get them to hold still long enough to get a picture. Anyhow, even though they may all be looking somewhere different, they look cute!

What Have You Been Doing?

Brooklyn and Ella driving the jeep.  She has to be the worst driver I've ever seen!  Sorry Ella Girl, but Case and Ledger will not be driving with you in 13 years!

Ledger loves going "Zoom Zoom" on the quad!

We've been at the cabin!  All the kiddos are sick.  If you think coughing, sneezing, fevers, runny noses and watery eyes are gonna stop this rowdy bunch from having fun, you're CRAZY!  No Way...not on Spring Break! What have you been doing for Spring Break?

It's St. Patrick's Day!

Ella, Ash, Brooklyn, Case, Brody, Ledger and I 

Brody thought it was so fun to let the baby cows suck his finger.  They were so cute!

Ledger thought it was fun playing in the baby cows drinking water.  He stuck his hands right in and flicked it all over himself!  

Case was very brave letting the baby cow suck on his finger!

We celebrated St. Patrick's Day a little early with a trip to our friends dairy farm for a PARTY!  The boys loved the cows, hay ride and dirt piles!  It was tons of fun, we can't wait to go back!  Hope your day is full of  luck and happiness!  

Happy Anniversary!

Yesterday, Jeremy and I celebrated our 11 year anniversary.  We got a sitter for the boys and headed to Scottsdale for a day of relaxing around the pool at The Marriott Desert Ridge. We had lunch at Houstons and enjoyed a calm day of doing nothing...my kind of day!  Around 5:00 we got in our fancy clothes and went to the Friends Of The Arizona Cancer Center benefit party.  It was fun spending the evening with our closest friends and family.  We stayed the night at the hotel and got home this morning.  It was nice to get away with just Jeremy even if only for a night. My Mom gave me the coolest anniversary gift.  She is cleaning out her house and came across my journals from junior high and high school.  Reading through them last night with Jeremy was a bit strange since every page was about HIM!  Literally every page was about how much I love him and everything that was going on in our relationship.  It's funny to see how immature we both were and intense things were at the time.  It felt like the end of the world back then when he didn't call me or take me out for dinner.  It was funny!  I've decided you couldn't pay me to go back to Junior High or High School!  Way too much drama for this simple mama!  Happy anniversary Jeremy.
