Little Giants

Evan had his 1st T-Ball game last night. Thankfully, it was (almost) perfect weather the whole time!

The whole team did great, and I think the parents were equally or MORE excited than the kids. They looked so adorable in their uniforms!

There are 4 T-Ball teams this season: Giants, Mariners, Red Sox & Yankees

Dugout stud :)



Kudos from Daddy, one of the coach's helpers




Playing Pitcher - he saw a lot of action in this position.




Foul ball!

Dirt & Worms

Sometimes I feel like such a bad mother, because I rarely do projects with the kids. It's like I don't want to bother with the mess, or cleaning up after it. Since Wednesday was a half-day, I promised Evan we would do the Dirt & Worms kit I'd purchased for him (on clearance - yay me!) a few days ago...


It was a quick project, but we had a great time together - just the two of us. :)

The (small) Happy Part of Spring Break

We had BIG plans for Spring Break last week.

First, we were going to spend our first night ever at Great Wolf Lodge. This was a Christmas gift to us from Ryan's parents.

Then, we were going to spend two nights with my Dad & Barbara at their beach house.

We can thank a dear, nasty stomach bug for putting an abrupt HALT to our plans. Roughly midnight, while at Great Wolf, Jaren decided to throw up (on me too). He was still going at 2:30 when we threw in the towel and checked out at 3:30am. We were there less than 12 hours.

All day Wednesday was touch-and-go with Jaren's stomach, so my Dad was on alert that we may not be making it to the coast. Thursday morning, I got the bug. Friday night, Evan got it too. We spent the rest of the weekend recovering, and FINALLY (Monday morning), I feel back to normal.

So, without further ado, here are some pictures of the FUN time we had at GWL...

Just a couple of hours before the vomiting started...

Oh, and in case you're wondering - there AREN'T any photos of the swimming and water fun! We thought, "Oh, we'll get photos tomorrow morning". "Heh, heh, heh...." laughs the stomach bug...

They make me happy. :)

Busy Bees

I love times like these - when they're both content, quiet and cooperative. I had to snap a pic just to prove that it DOES happen! :)

Next Time, a Mimosa IN the Studio


Friday night, I went pottery painting with some of my girlie friends. It was the Arts & Crafts Club event for March. What a totally fun and relaxed evening with lots of laughter! I highly recommend Mimosa Studios - Friday Night Party Night (where you can bring your own food & drink), and NEXT TIME - Margarita Night (last Friday of the month)!!

Afterwards, we walked down the street to Petite Provence where you drool just looking inside the door at the bakery display. Oh yum yum yum....

Thank you for spending the evening with me, Ladies!
