WE LOVE BASEBALL

We had a blast at Tarrin and Wyatt's game tonight. They are both getting so much better. I got Wyatt on video today with one of his hits. Wyatt and the coach's son are the only boys that are going in to kindergarten. All of the other kids are going into second grade. I'm so glad that I can have them on the same team. I don't know what I'm going to do once Trey can play.
Tarrin had some great hits. It was so much fun to watch them. I am going to be sad once it's over. The coach is going to make sure we have the same team next year. He has such a passion for baseball and you can tell he loves what he does. The kids really like him and have learned so much.
Maisey and Trey have been little troopers through it all. It actually has gone pretty smoothly and I think I'm getting used to having all the kids with me at once. It does help that Kevin has been to all of their games to help out. Kevin loves watching the boys play. We are so proud of you boys!

MAISEY TALKING AND ROLLING OVER

Maisey is almost five months old on the fifteenth and she has started to notice that she has a voice. Her little squeals are so funny. She can now roll both ways so now I don't have to hear her crying because she's on her stomach and wants to be on her back. She is growing so fast and she is getting so tall.

WRESTLE WITH GRANDPA

Sunday we had my parent's over for dinner. It was a nice relaxing time. My dad is nearing is 70's so it is rare that he will get on the floor and wrestle with the kids. I had to take some pictures because if you know my dad this is a rare occasion. Wyatt and Trey had so much fun beating up their Grandpa. We had to keep telling them to go easy on him. I was worried they were going to hurt the old man. They can be so rough! My dad was such a good sport about everything. It's times like these that you realize how important family is. I also got my first picture with Maisey and my dad. I think raising nine children has taken all of my parent's energy but My dad seems to be trying to create some good memories with his grand kids. I had to take Kevin to Logan yesterday so he could pick up a car and take it back to the dealership. I stopped over at my parents on the way home and visited for awhile. When we got ready to leave my dad pulled up in the car and seemed disappointed that we were leaving cause he had got some ice cream to make ice cream cones for the kids. Since I already had the kids buckled up I told him we would do it next time. I was surprised since it seems that the noise of the kids drives them crazy they would be happy to see me leave. I am thankful for the time I get to spend with them and that my kids will have good memories with their grandparents.

CHOAS...PANIC...DISORDER... MY WORK HERE IS DONE

When we were in Seattle we saw this shirt and had to buy it for Trey. If you know my youngest boy you would understand why this fits him so well. Yesterday he managed to clog the toilet, pour soap all over the counter, vacuum up a few toys, scraped both arms and legs, changed clothes three times due to getting in the mud and the hose, got Wyatt all wet with the hose and I had to chase him all around to get him in the house. That was yesterday, Today while Kevin and I were staking some tree's he decided to make himself a sandwich with honey. I noticed this on my shoe when I came in.
I can't believe how different all my boys are but the one thing they have in common is that when they turn three they are crazy until age four. Summer has official begun for me. My kids are already fighting with each other and getting into everything. The weather has been okay but I am looking forward to hot weather, so they can play outside in the water! I am looking forward to the rest of Tarrin and Wyatt's games and swimming lessons which start later this month. I figure if I keep them busy, they stay entertained. Later this evening it started to rain and we noticed this beautiful rainbow.

MY FAVORITE TREE

This morning Kevin went to the nursery and bought the last of our tree's. When we first moved in we had a landscaper draw up some plans for the yard. We have pretty much stuck to the plans and planted the stuff that was on them. I am starting to see that it was a really good idea. When we first started I have to admit I knew nothing about plants and tree's. Now a couple of years later I think I have learned a thing or two. There is so much color and I love to look out back and see my favorite tree. It's a Purple Robe Honeylocust. It has the prettiest purple flowers and it grows really fast. I like to just look at it anytime I'm in the kitchen. I was planting some plants around it today and I had a few visitors. There were huge honey bee's flying around. I hurried and planted as fast as I could and got out of there. I have been stung before and it's not fun.

Wyatt's Preschool Field trips

These are the pictures of Wyatt's Preschool field trips. At the end of the year Wyatt's teacher will give us a disk of all the pictures taken on the field trips. I always appreciate Wyatt's teacher taking the time to give us the disks because some of the field trips I couldn't attend.
1. Fishing- Wyatt's favorite part was catching a fish. He said it was a little fish.
2. Easter- The kids had their Easter egg hunt.
3. Feeding the ducks and having a picnic lunch- Wyatt said his friend Owen fed them some of his potato chips. Oh no!
4. Planetarium- Learned about Planets.
5. Animal Hospital- Wyatt said one cat was asleep. I hope it was just sleeping and not well you know.
6. Thanksgiving- Made Indian clothes. Wyatt liked the feathers.
7. Nature Center- I was able to go on this one. They did dances, saw some some wild life, Saw a tarantula(not my favorite part)went hunting for bugs and Butterflies. It was really fun.
8. Halloween- Wyatt liked the fake mice that ran really fast.
9. Grocery store- Tour of the Grocery store. We got to see how everything works. The freezer was really cold!!

ALL WET!

On Friday I went up to my mom's house so I could have my dad adjust my back and neck. They have been hurting for a couple of days. While I was there the boys went outside to play. My sister Amanda was there with her kids. She has told me numerous times that if her son Payson sees water, He is in it in five seconds. Well when I went to check on the kids they had turned the sprinkler on and they were soaked(Tarrin was a good boy and was inside with us)I didn't have any extra clothes so Trey was not happy when I told him he had to stay outside and sit in the sun to dry off. Saturday when Amanda came down to my house, she went to check on Payson and he was wet and muddy from the hose. He cracks me up! Amanda you need to do a post all about Payson and the trouble he gets in with water.
