Rained out game!






Today was supposed to be Benjamin's first Blastball game. The coach called us at 8:20 this morning to tell us "no game." We still had pictures, so we waited until we were in the car to tell Benjamin no game. He handled it great. He asked if he was still going to see his baseball friends and could he still drink his gatorade? Yes to both! Anyway pictures took over 1 hour, yuck! But we really had a chance to talk with all the little guys and girl and their parents. Benjamin had a great time as did Carter. Here are a few pictures from the morning. Carter wanted his picture taken too, so after big brother's team moved off the bench for the team photo, lil bro moved in for his big shot!

Spring Break in Florida

Shamu
Boys playing on the beach
Dolphins at Sea World
Boys cruising on the boat.
Ryan and boys at the Pirates baseball game, both boys were given a foul ball. Look at how close we are to the field!
Wow, we spent Spring Break in Florida with Ryan's parents, we had a blast! We were busy seeing everything. We went to 3 different beaches, the boys LOVE playing in the sand and water. It was so much fun watching them run around and laughing. We went to Sea World. The boys were troopers, we saw 3 different shows. They are still talking about Shamu and the dolphins. We went to a Pirates spring training game against the Blue Jays. We had great seats, the game was hot, hot. I totally understand why families travel across several states to go see their home team at training camp. You are so close to the players, you actually see their faces! The players were nice to the fans, they threw any balls they could to the crowd. It was incredible. Ryan even had a chance to go fishing out in the boat. That was until Benjamin got see sick from the rocking! The time went so fast with Pops and Honey, we can't wait to go back!
2 post in 1 day, don't get used to it; the boys are sleeping well today. Which is good because they didn't during our trip. I think they are still catching up!

Easter Joy!

At Mum's house having a picnic outside!
Funny man!
Yes, this was his Easter picture. Lets just say he didn't like the tie. I didn't even dare try to put the boys together for a picture. I was afraid biting would occur.
This would be little brother telling me he didn't like the tie. At least his stayed on 5 minutes longer than Ben's.
Of course Benjamin wanted nothing to do with the Easter bunny, but Carter couldn't wait to get his picture made with him. I think he knew he would get a sucker. This was at Ft. Richardson the State Park. Each year they host a Easter egg hunt. I liked it because the little guys were in a different group. They boys loved hunting for eggs. Benjamin was on the prowl to collect the most eggs. Carter just wanted to take it easy and eat the candy in between hunting the eggs. Needless to say we got plenty of candy, and it all went to my students on Monday morning.
