Trike-A-Thon

Case getting his helmet on and ready!

Green means "Go"

And he's off!

Slow down Case!

Here he is with his medal and scooter!

Yesterday, Case's awesome preschool teachers held a trike-a-thon to raise money for St. Jude's Hospital.  The kids brought bikes, scooters, trikes and of course helmets to ride around the sidewalk as they learned about bike safety.  After they rode up and down the sidewalk, they got a popsicle, medal and certificate of completion.  What a fun day at preschool for this little guy!

Swim lessons

Case is ready to swim with those super cool googles!

Ledger showing me that he is in the "juice" (any liquid is" juice" to Ledger)

Super cute swim suit Case!

Ledger is ready to swim!  Does this suit look familiar?  It was Brody's when he was 2!

Three weeks ago, Case and Ledger started swim lessons with Ms. Carolyn.  Case did great and is having a ball swimming with Jefferson, Nate and Josh.  He still gets a little nervous going off the board, but somehow can talk his teacher into moving a little closer so he doesn't have to swim so far!  Ledger is doing great now too!  It was a little scary that first week with all the screaming and crying he did.  This is the same kid who didn't so much as fuss last year when he took swim lessons.  He is loving the water now and I'm super happy that I don't have to get soaked and listen to him scream for a half hour!  

T Ball

T Ball can be a slow game to an active four year old!  Why not see what the glove tastes like!

This very focused athlete can sure whack the ball!

And boy can he run the bases!

A few weeks ago Case started his 3rd year of T Ball.  I know what you're thinking...how could this be this 3rd year and he just turned four?  It helps when Mom and Dad are the coaches and they let a little two year old join the team.  He is a pro at the game by now and is having fun batting and tackling the ball (yep that's what they do in T Ball!)  Mom and Dad are having fun watching from the sidelines this year!  Go Rockies!

Game Ball

After each game, Coach Kent chooses one kid from the Express Coach Pitch team to receive the game ball.  Yesterday, this proud boy was choosen.  As if you can't tell from the look on his face, he is one happy kid!  He was choosen for 2 awesome hits as well as playing back up 1st baseman. I think he was choosen for that third inning fashion show he gave us all when he pulled his baseball pants up to his thighs so his red socks could show better. 

You rock Brody Felstead!

Happy Easter!

It was cold and rainy yesterday at the Mesa Country Club Easter party!

Ledger loved finding eggs at Sugar's house!

Brody was all smiles as he looked for eggs in Sugar's mailbox!

Case had a great time dying eggs with Chandler and Hayley!  

Brody was the only one of the boys who would get near the Easter bunny at Mesa Country Club!  Case and Ledger were freaked out!  

And their off!  Can you see Brody and Case getting soaking wet in the rain at the Mesa Country Club Easter party?  it was so cold but the kids didn't mind a bit! They got TONS of eggs!

Happy Easter!  Does anyone out there love this holiday like I do?  Think about it...coloring eggs, going on the hunt, opening Easter baskets and eating tons of yummy candy!  It can't get any better!  As much as I love this holiday, I'm actually ready for it to be over.  I hate to say this, but our Easter has lasted 10 days.  I'm not kidding either!  It started last weekend with Easter at Sugar's house.  That was super fun and a great way to start the celebration.  From there it was dying eggs with our cute cousins from Texas.  After that it was Easter at Mesa Country Club. This morning after church, we did our own little egg hunt and had fun opening Easter baskets.  Later today, we will head over to Nanny and Papa's house and then to G.G. and G.Pa's for more egg hunts and candy!  WHEW!  That's a lot of Easter celebrating!   Although the kids are on a candy high (so am I!) and I'm ready for the annoying green Easter grass to disappear, I still love this simple holiday and the real meaning behind it all!  Hope you and your family had a hippity-hoppity great Easter Sunday!
