T-ball Time

A couple weeks ago Paul signed Zach up to play in Little League this spring.  To get him ready I bought him a tee and some balls and Paul got a bat from someone at work who's son has outgrown it.  Of course ever since then each weekend has been cold (or we've been busy) and he hasn't had a chance to use it.  Today was finally the day though.  He was excited and he got everything set up and Paul showed him how to do it...
His second solo attempt.  His first time he knocked the tee apart!

This video you're going to love!  It looks like I was standing close but I actually had the camera zoomed in on him.  I still should have stood a little further back though because I didn't realize how hard he would hit it.
He hit me right above my left knee!  I'll never get another video/picture from that vantage point ever again!  So on that note I was done filming.  I  hope you got a little laugh from that video, I sure did.

Happy Valentine's Day

With Valentine's Day on a Tuesday we didn't do much.  We went to work/school and that was about it!  My little two-year-olds at school had their class party which went well and of course I brought home tons of chocolate that they had gotten me.  Then after work I went over to Zach's school to help with his class party.  Nothing too exciting there.   I did get the kids these cool looking glasses that they just loved modelling...

They were thrilled.  Lauren was getting ready to leave for work so I had very little time to plan it other than to throw the glasses at them and say put these on and look happy.  At least they know how to follow directions!  And that was about the extent of our Valentine's Day.  Hope yours was a little better.  Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Happy Birthday Megan!

Yesterday Megan turned 12 and she wanted to start off her day by going to breakfast.  So when the roads thawed out from the ice the night before we went to where she wanted to go, Perkins.  She chose not to have them sing to her but she did get to bring home a chocolate chip muffin to eat later. 

She had the option of opening her presents when she got home but she wanted to wait until after dinner.




She got lots of cool stuff like money, a fashion handbook, a new comforter for her bed just to name a few.  Then it was time for cake.  She wanted a cheesecake and not just any cheesecake.  Specifically the kind you can buy that has a variety of different kinds in it.  So here she is with her yummy looking cheesecake that she picked out.
Happy Birthday Megan!
