Opening Day

Saturday was the town's Baseball opening day and Connor's first T-ball game.

and his side kick...

Which happens to be one of his biggest fans. He was screaming... "You can do it Connor! You can do it Connor"... aw he not listening me!"

Connor and one of his coaches... daddy!

Batter up!

Running the bases...

Playing the field...

The cap cracks me up...

And.... boredom begins to set in...

The game was a success! No score is kept at this level and the WHOLE team plays the field at the same time... it is so funny to see them all on the field with really no clue! No pictures of this bc too many faces to blur! Each team gets up to bat 3x... I believe it is suppose to be 4 but our game was already running into OT.

Lesson learned today

• Um I really do not know anything about baseball! Oh boy... this is going to be a long season lol! I guess those batting hats are there for a reason.
• Running to your son when he has just gotten hit with a ball in the chest will get the response " Mommm.... I'Mmmm finnne"... with him walking right past you. I guess mommies day of helping with boo boos is best left for at home with no one around. sniff.sniff.
• It IS sunblock season ALREADY... how did that happen?!

So after the game quick run home to try and eat something but too much excitment... and then it was off to the opening ceramony! It was alot of fun. The teams line up (and in our case a sibling... Gavin) and they march on to the field following the flags and drums! They all sit with their team again we had an extra person... Gavin. Oh he was so excited to sit with them. He actually chose or should I say insisted sitting with them over ME... hmmmph. So a few speakers and a National Anthom and they were done. Good thing too... it was so HOT out! So a trip home, playing outside with Iain, ate lunch outside then it was off for a cool treat...

ICE CREAM... the season has begun!

Oh and of course on a hot day... ya need some DEL'S!!!

So the first ball of the season was thrown today... so here's to a fun and exciting T-ball season!

Is there a T-ball for Dummies book?

Happy Birthday!

My Nani would have been 93 yrs old yesterday...amazing. I just LOVE LOVE this picture of her. Isn't she looking like she is having such a blast!

We all have a little bit of her in us...our family can definetly have a fun time no matter what or where we are. Thank you Nani!

Cheers!

Happy EARTH Day!

Hope your enjoying your Earth Day!

Connor made this at school today to pick up "Trash" and he kindly suggested "maybe we can use it to clean your car mom"...hmmp. (dont think the bag is big enough)



Now we are just "hanging" out ....waiting for daddy to come home tomorrow...yippee


(Gavin's toes)

The excitment knocked this one out...lol (score! one down...one to go!)



Safe trip home Daddy! We REALLY miss you!!!!!

Fun times with Good friends...

This weekend was packed with fun times. We had T-ball practice, Easter Egg hunt and luncheon, birthday party, spring clean up and just hanging out time! Here are some pics of our fun packed weekend.

Planting Sunflowers

Easter egg hunt

Found out we have a family of birds living in our tree... Peter was wondering why his car was "white" every day... with Bird droppings!

Daddy washed the cushions so we get to play in the water...

Watching Daddy put air in all the bike tires so we can now go "Super" Fast- Yea... Mommy's thrilled!

Taking a walk with good buddies...priceless

Then it was MONDAY- BOO HOO!

and Gavin woke up with a bad earache-he was trying everything to stop it from hurt. I walked in to see this...

Gavin is on antibiotics and Connor is on allergy meds and both are doing much better!

Hope you all had a fun weekend. It's raining and cold today but I'm not complaining... bring it on mother nature and make my lawn grow!

Can ya heaya me???

Can you hear me???














CAN YOU HEAR ME???














CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW???














CAAAN YOU HEAR ME NOW???











CAAN YOOOO HEEEEAR MEEEEE NOOOOOW???









This is what I was hearing Gavin saying and actually Yelling as he was walking thru the house with... headphones on!







This kid cracks me up!

Go Red Sox, Go Red Sox...

The Barrington Red Soxs that is! Connor's t-ball team name! He is so excited! When he found out the team name... he was wearing a Red Sox tshirt! Guess the town ran out of sponsors for the teams so Marco, the team's manager, sponsored the team and got to pick the name.

Team coach... Coach Pete!

Running bases... (By the way... that is NOT Connor's Pink Glove!)

Batter up!

Saturday was their first practice and they all did really well! I dont know much about baseball but I am definetly routing for this Red Sox team!!!

Mother Nature... HELP!!!

We have had it with our lawn... or lack of one! We cannot go through one more season of looking at it. The lawn must be so embarrased being the only one on the block to win the "worse" lawn award for 3 yr in a rown. So to help out our lawn and to boost its confidence we set out to fix the problem.

So Peter did his research and ventured out to pick up all the stuff we or actually he needed to help this pathetic lawn. We had planned to do it over the weekend but once we had the stuff it was like a kid with a new toy... just cant wait.

We as a family all rallied around to support our lawn's new makeover. The boys dined outside and I drank my Bloody Mary that Steve made for us. So the lawn would feel the love.

So if any of you have any connections at all to Mother Nature or if she is reading this... Please help our little seedlings grow!!! PLEASE!!!
