Field photog

March 17, 2016

First, Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Hope you’re wearing your green!

Second, we had t-ball practice on Monday afternoon and it was another beautiful – albeit windy – day. Maxwell practiced while I tried to entertain the other two. We’ve been taking the soccer ball to kick around and that keeps Spencer happy for most of the time.

Samantha just loves being able to explore.

This week though, Spencer decided he was tired of kicking the soccer ball and really, really wanted to take “a” picture with my phone. Fine. When I finally got my phone back I think he had taken in excess of 230 photos! ha! Some highlights of Spencer’s view of t-ball practice…

He was sure to capture all sides of the field.

And I can’t blame him for taking this one because the blue sky was beautiful that day!

He did manage to get a few (meaning about 30) shots of Maxwell actually playing t-ball so that was good.

Here’s where I tried to (unsuccessfully) take my phone back…

Here’s baby eating dirt…

and here’s me wiping the dirt out of her mouth.

Here’s another picture of this poor man who definitely knew Spencer was taking his picture but pretended to ignore it. Β πŸ™‚

And these ladies who were having a nice time apparently.

Finally, here’s a nice shot of the ground with his cute little foot poking in.

I was going to be mad at him, but then he did this over and over…

Can’t get mad at that sweet boy sharing with his sister. One thing’s for sure, this kid is always going to make me laugh.

I just gotta keep him away from my phone!

Would love to hear from you! 2 Comments

Batter up!

March 14, 2016

Maxwell had his first t-ball game on Saturday and we all had a BALL! πŸ™‚ We got really lucky with the weather. It was nice and warm and the rain held off until about 15 minutes after our game ended! The boys were excited to get their official jerseys and hats…

and then it was time to warm up!

The game was cute – they did 3 innings with no outs. So, each kid got to hit 3 times and run all the bases. I think the funniest part is just watching them all try to run in those heavy batting helmets! Maxwell played first base, short stop, and 3rd base.

But, obviously, his favorite part was hitting and running!

Samantha and Spencer did pretty good during the game…despite both of them playing with a live worm and Samantha eating a large wad of dirt.

Spencer was pretty happy when he got to go with Dad over to the team bench!

Overall, I’d say it was a great start to Maxwell’s baseball career!

Good day sunshine

March 9, 2016

T-ball practice on Monday was about as perfect as it could be. Blue skies, sunshine, 72 degrees! Wish every practice could be like this!

Final soccer game

November 18, 2015

On Sunday, Maxwell had his final soccer game of the season. It was slightly chilly but a great day to be playing outside! Spencer warmed up with the team…

Spencer had to cheer from the sidelines…

Baby Mantha once again enjoyed her view from the carrier!
