birthday

birthday cookies from Granny...yum!

Look what was waiting for the birthday boy when he arrived home from school this afternoon...a yummy box of homemade chocolate chip cookies, made with lots of heart healthy love from Granny:) For the last several days there has been either a card or a box waiting for BJ after the mailman leaves....thank you all for making his birthday so special.



BJ had another wonderful baseball game tonight. To to play rover (I guess you'd call it), first base, and pitcher. In the field...



Benny had three great hits tonight. All line drives in the air. We're working on hitting down the third base line now.





Sitting patiently waiting for next at bat. Notice the batting gloves. Somehow in all our moves we've managed to keep up with these batting gloves given to CJ for his 3rd or 4th xmas from Kent and Gina.



Running home...

Thank you Cowtown Camera Girl

New hair cut...looks so sweet:)

double play

No new pics tonight, haven't downloaded them yet. Thought I'd take a second to make a quick post.

CJ made a double play at his baseball game tonight...caught a ball in the air and tossed it the second baseman. HOORAY! If only I'd seen it:(

BJ and I stayed home b/c he's been fighting a fluctuating fever for 2 days now, from 99.8 up to 104.3, and back and forth. It finally broke earlier today and we decided it was a good idea to keep him home. He's still coughing. Now guess who is feeling sick again...ug..I literally just finished my antibiotics yesterday! There is definitely something going on in our house that we keep passing around.

Seriously, we all need some solid rest with no activities. How can that happen?

Soccer is over and we're sad about that, but it does free up some time in our schedule.

BJ is having FIFTH birthday party this Sunday. I can't believe it. Seems like just yesterday we were celebrating his 2nd at grandma and granpa's house with everyone, or celebrating his 3rd in our extended stay hotel in Austin!! Ha ha! CJ remembers this one b/c we had breakfast at Denny's that morning ...

Both boys are loving the Wii. You would get such a laugh to watch them both play the skateboarding game. We were walking somewhere recently and BJ had on a sweatshirt. I noticed he was wearing the hood up on his head. When I made a comment about it being a good day to cover your ears, or something like that, he said, "Mommy, this is how the guy wears his sweatshirt in the skateboarding game." HA HA HA!! Rick and I both laughed that.

Hope our family and friends are well! Thank you for your patience in my irregular blog posts:)
