Tournament One

The first three weeks of baseball season consist of weekend tournaments from Thursday - Saturday where they play 6 games in 3 days.  There are several day games during the tournaments so I enjoy taking the kids when the weather is decent.

My Dad was in town and able to catch a few games

Thursday we were in winter gear and by Friday we were in short sleeves and sunscreen.  

Brody enjoyed playing with my phone and figured out how to take a selfie.

Loved playing in the dugout after the game

Saturday we had some friends from church join us at the game with their kids who are the same age as Harper & Brody.

Their favorite part of the whole game is when they get to run out onto the field and see Jeff.  Brody enjoyed working the field while waiting for Daddy after the game.

They are doing great so far and winning lots of games!

Walker 8 Months

Walker is now 9 months old but I realized that I never posted his 8 month photos. Not sure why I chose to try to take monthly pictures with the third born.  I never did this with my first two and life is kind of crazy these days. Walker is still such a happy baby and for the most part just goes along with the flow.  He is crawling, eating everything that I put in front of him, and such a strong boy.

Thanks to my friend Melanie for snapping these pics when we were over at her house for a play date. 

February

February is flying (has flown) by.  Can't believe that March is just around the corner.  The last few weeks have been filled with baseball, snow days, afternoon park play time and the tummy bug making it's rounds slowly through our house.
Mr. Walker is on the move.  Can't set him down for a second before he finds something to put in his mouth to chew on or try to swallow.

We have had some really cold days with a little snow even.

Brothers

The kids and I made a quick trip to Paris so I could go to a baby shower for my dear friend Jessica.  She is due any day now with her first little boy.

Bath time with these three is exhausting.  I normally look like I've had a bath after I'm done because of all of the splashing.  

Trip to Costco with Mimi.  They were both big fans of the free samples.

Just swinging in our Christmas jammies.

Enjoying a little fresh air one warmer afternoon.

Harper was sick on Valentine's Day so she had to miss her school party.  Our next door neighbor brought a rose over to Harper.  He is in first grade. Daddy wasn't very excited about that one.

Afternoon snack and play dough on the back porch

Grandad Sherman brought fun stuffed animals to each of the kids for Valentine's Day

Phone dump from January

Here is the last phone dump from January.  Baseball season has officially started.  Jeff has several new coaches this year that have young kids also.  Games will be fun with this crew.

Walker hasn't met any food yet that he doesn't like 

Lunch date with the boys.  My college friends Natalie & Elisa both have boys who are very close in age to Walker.  

Morning snuggles

New puzzles from Grandmommy 

This little guy is on the move now!  He can pretty much get anywhere he wants to go by scooting, rolling and army crawling. 

Uh oh - he found the stairs.  Time for the baby gate.

Our across the street neighbors have three young kids also. We invited them to go to our favorite park and the kids had fun playing.  

Whew - now the blog is caught up for now. 

Afternoon at the Park

Another nice afternoon at the park. Thank you Jesus for a few of these nice afternoons scattered throughout the cold and dreary January.

Pajamarama 2014

We love our church and especially the preschool ministry.  They have a fun mommy / daughter event each year called Pajama Mama Rama.  This year was a Princess theme and Harper and I had a great time.  They provided dinner, we did arts and crafts, gave each other manicures, danced with a real live ballerina and lots more!

Decorating Ice cream cones like a princess hat. Then we got to eat them. 

What a fun night with my big girl.

Fort Wildflower

Fort Wildflower is our favorite park! We had a few warm afternoons in January where we were able to meet friends there.
