Batter up!

March 21, 2017

It’s baseball season again! Maxwell played T-ball last year and this year moves up to coach pitch. They had their first games this weekend and actually had one on Saturday and one on Sunday to make up for spring break next week. I have to say, baseball has never been my favorite sport…at all. But, I LOVE watching Maxwell out there. He looks so sharp in his uniform and I love to watch him paying attention and trying to make a play…it’s fun.

Saturday was our first time out to the fields at the high school and we snuck in and took a little picture on one of the big fields…

Maxwell is #9 and had two great hits – hit 1 and hit 2 – during the Saturday game and he also got to play pitcher which was awesome. He had several good stops and throws to first for an out!

Most importantly, he had a lot of fun!

On Sunday, Susan and Barry nicely agreed to be the designated spectators at baseball while Robert and I went to Spencer’s first soccer game. Maxwell had 3 more great hits and got to play shortstop!

Spring ball – here we come!! Let’s go Cardinals, let’s go!!

Other news

Tonsil update – Maxwell’s doing pretty good! We’ve been staying ahead of the game on the pain meds and he’s handling things well. There’s been plenty of ice cream, milkshakes, pudding, and jello – for all! Spencer and Samantha are surely enjoying Maxwell’s tonsillectomy! ha!

In other non-tonsil news, we had dinner with our neighbors on Sunday night and the kids had a blast…

I took this for dessert and it tasted as good as it looked!

We might have all come home from dinner and polished it off!  🙂

Maxwell had his first baseball practice with his team on Tuesday. I think it’s going to be a great season. He has two of his class buds on his team which makes it more fun!

Monday Monday

February 27, 2017

Happy Monday! What a beautiful weekend we had. We had no plans and sure enjoyed it! Crazy when this is what you’re wearing in February…

Bare legs and short sleeves! The best! The only bad part about spring springing is the pollen and things blooming. It’s rough on Spence even after all these allergy shots. He’s dealing with an allergy induced cold (poor guy) so skipped school on Friday and he and Samantha took advantage of the nice weather and visited the animals at the zoo…

and then got to have a little treat!

On Saturday morning we headed out to the ball park so Maxwell could have his first baseball practice! Maxwell had fun – but I think Robert enjoyed it most of all! The boys then took a trip to Dick’s to get fully outfitted for the season…

Batter up! We’re all ready for spring ball!

See you tomorrow!

Happenings

February 15, 2017

Around here lately…

Saturday mornings are spent at basketball and Maxwell is doing great. I’m so proud of how hard he hustles and goes after that ball! He’s a rebound machine and will dive to the ground to fight for the ball! Go #9 and Go Bucks!

Last Saturday I did an extended 5k at my gym and I’m putting it in here because I’m really proud of myself! ha! I’m not a runner but I completed it – we ran 6 half mile increments with mini-workouts in between each. It was tough but I’m so glad I did it! Here I am with my friend, Mary, who won in her division…

Go us!  🙂

We’ve had unseasonably warm weather around here and it has been glorious! Last week we made it over to the park in short sleeves and bare legs….

Finally, look who now gets to sit facing forward in the car!

She stayed backward much longer than Maxwell (turned him at 17 months) or Spencer (I guess I didn’t post when we turned him?!) and I think she’s enjoying the new view!

See you tomorrow!
