Anyone else who reads my family blog... I never know who reads this... it is mostly just pictures of the kidos.

Lucas 2nd Baseball Game

Wow... what a game of t-ball. Some kids use the t others are pitched to, some are older, some are younger, lots of parents on the field, everyone bats every inning. But, they sure do have fun. This is a great introduction to baseball for Lucas.
These are picture of Lucas running the bases. Sorry the pictures are not super clear they are taken from behind a fence.



The back of his uniform even has his name on it. He picked #5 (I think because that's how old he will be on his birthday).

This is Lucas & his friend Abe from church. It is fun for them to play on the team together!

Lots of Snow

Sorry for the delay in posting these picture but, we were having trouble loading them for some reason.
Anyway... last Friday afternoon (that's April 18th)it began to snow and snow and then snow some more. It snowed until we had about 1 foot of snow. That's right about 1 foot of snow on April 18th. Just as the flower are blooming the snow comes and crushes them. Oh well! The side benefit is that the kids had tons of fun playing in the snow with dad on Saturday morning and building a snow fort to throw snow balls at the "bad guys". The bottom picture of the boys was from Friday when the snow was just begining to fall. The snow melted fast. We are really looking forward to a warm long summer (that is our dream anyway)!!!

What's the Weather?

So... one Saturday it snows 5 inches. The next it is 70+ degrees outside (this is an exception to the norm and it is the only warm day in 7 months). Then today Lucas & Micah came running in to my room this afternoon looking like this (see below). So, I asked them "why are you wearing your swimmers?" To which they replied "we are just pretending to swim." Well, I guess in Washington you can only "pretend" to swim in April. We just have 2 1/2 months left until July 4th when you can pull our the summer wear. Come quickly July 4th!!!!

Baseball Begins

We have officially begun sports with the kids. Lucas is the first on to play an orgaized sport. He is playing with a special needs team. He plays with a kid from church who also has special needs. It is great fun because our friend from church is the coach. Micah really wants to play baseball too but doesn't understand that he's not old enough yet. Lucas had his first game on Sunday. No winners or loosers because they don't keep score for t-ball. Hopefully more pictures from his next game on this coming Monday!!! Thier shirts had not yet arrived as of their last game. So hopefully we will get more pics in his full uniform.

Strange Comments

Has anyone else who blogs been getting strange comments. Well, I have been getting them from random "people" that say something like please see here and have you click a link that is supposed to cause problems on your computer. Just wondering. I have been deleting them.

One of the things we love about Ethan

Ethan is a blessing to our family. He loves to be with us. But, he also like to just play by himself every now and then. He was quiet last week and when I wen to check on him this is what he was doing. Just playing with his little people. So, I had to take a picture.

Micah's New Robe

Micah didn't have a robe (both Lucas & Ethan did). So, Grammy Lynn made this one for him. It is yellow (his favorite color). Thanks again Grammy Lynn!!!

Ethan's Puffy Baker's Hat

Grammy Lynn made each of the boys a puffy bakers hat. Well, until Thursday Ethan would not put his on. Then the big brothers convinced him to put his on. We think he looks super cute in his also. Thanks Grammy Lynn!
