T-Ball Season is officially here!











Michael started his first t-ball season yesterday. It started off with a parade at 8am that went all the way from Geiser Pollman park clear to Wade Williams field! I can't believe those little guys walked that far! They had them circle the Baseball field as their team was announced then the national anthem was sung, and it was time to "PLAY BALL!" Luckily it didn't rain on Michael's game, but the rest of the teams weren't so lucky. It rained all afternoon, starting with the last 5 minutes of Michael's game. Michael did pretty good! All the kids at this age still think that they ALL have to fight for the ball once its hit. There is no concept of "STAY at your base!" There are so many t-ball teams this year that he didn't end up on one with any of his friends, but he is making lots of new friends! Here's a few pictures from the day. There will be many more as the season goes on i'm sure! (Oh - and the coach gave Luke his own hat and shirt as well! He is SO proud, but bummed that he doesn't get to play with the team. They do let him practice though and they let him walk in the parade).

Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter! Today we went to church in our ward in Baker, then the "easter bunny" visited while we were at church, so the kids walked in the door to see their easter baskets by the fireplace. Then we went over to La Grande to go to sacrament in third ward, dinner and an egg hunt at "papa & grandma pam's" I tried to get a decent picture of the kids all dressed up, but I forgot that Brynley hates the feel of grass and when I went to sit her down on the grass in front of her brothers she screamed and well, it was all over. I couldn't even sit her on a blanket after that!! As you can see from the picture - she is VERY upset! Plus it was very bright and just a bad time of day and spot for a good picture. There are also a few photos here from the egg hunt in the backyard, and a really cute picture of brynley discovering some flowers on the back porch!

Happy First Birthday BRYNLEY!!!








Well, Brynley turned ONE yesterday! At her check-up on tuesday she weighed 18 1/2 lbs and was still only 26 inches long. Such a little girl! I think she's going to take after her mommy. :o) She still isn't walking yet, and YES - she still does the one-foot up crawl. It seems to work well for her, so she sees no reason to change! She did take a couple of really quick steps tonight though. We'll see how it goes - she'll probably walk within a month or so. She could do it if she wanted to - she is definately steady enough. She just doesn't like to do something she is unsure about. We had a princess birthday for her and she definately was the star of the show! She got lots of neat "girly" things and had a lot of fun. Here are some photos from her party.
