First baseball practice

Today was ben's first ever baseball practice. He loved it!! Dad and unkin and ray ray were all able to come!

He caught the ball a few times, was throwing like a champ and even hit the ball and got on base during their little scrimmage!  I must say, so far I'm liking this new phase of life! 

Ben in base!

Miss sassy watching bubba's practice!

Field day!

The first event: long distance run, they were all in for this!

Three leg race! Ben and his buddy from soccer, Luke.

Clara and her friend from church, genevra.

Frisby distance contest

Who can hula the longest? Trick question! No one in their group knew how to do it!! We are buying a hula hoop.

Wheel barrel race. They could not decide who was the wheels! This task was also beyond most of our age group. Ben and sam only made it a few feet.

Gunny sack race. Ben did this one really well and really liked it! Clara got in the sack and then wouldn't hop. I didn't get a picture because I was trying to convince her to hop!

Egg walk. Clara's forte!! She is soo careful! Ben did well with this one too, finished top ten. Only dropped his egg once! Very fun!

Waterballoon toss. This didn't last long, Ben dropped his on the first toss and Clara missed the catch on the first toss! But fun none the less.

After all the games we played a bit on the jungle gym.

We had a great time!! This was put on by a local homeschool group. We are going to join as official members in the fall, really well put together and lots of fun!! 

Nashville zoo April

We finally got to use our Christmas present! Schedules and weather lined up just so and we had a great time at the Nashville zoo! Thanks aunt muggs and Grammy!


Unkin and Ray Ray came as well as Jenny and her nephew, Stephen. Enjoy the photos!

Clara spilled some water at dinner last Sunday. Aunt Linda gave her some paper towel to clean it up. As she wiping it up she starts singing "sing sweet nighting gale". Too cute!

Ben is very very into games right now. So for valentine's day I got him a little checkers set.
He loves it! And picked it much faster than I would have expected!
He even tried to teach Sissy to play!

Wow!!

So the test worked!! I am so!! Excited! I take all our pictures pretty much with my phone, now I can just do a quick upload! Though I will need to go back and fill in November, December, January, and half of February from the computer. But this is awesome!!


Pete being Pete! We were getting ready to go to the grocery. She got a purse, but she had it wrapped around her neck. I told her she couldn't take that one. Hence sad face!

Testing: 1 2 3

I just downloaded the blogger app for IPhone. I am hoping this might help me keep the blog current. This is a test run!! Fingers crossed!
