Spring Baseball- Christian

2010-10-24T15:08:00.000-07:00

Christian played for the Cardinals this time around. He had a slow start with his hitting/fielding, but really lit up toward the end of the season. His coach noticed too, and nominated him for the all-star team! He didn't make the team, but was still excited to be nominated.

North Carolina May 2010

Way back in May, I had the opportunity to go visit my sister in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. I also want to add that I went BY MYSELF, and Rex was so great to stay home with the boys for the weekend! I went for my sister's graduation from UNC, which was nice, and my parents were also able to be there. I had an excellent time!!

Snow!!!

2010-02-11T18:56:00.001-08:00

It is 8:30 p.m. and has been snowing straight since 3:00 a.m.! This storm has brought over 8 inches of snow, and I just heard that this is the biggest winter storm in the history of Dallas! I'm not complaining because this snow will only last a day or two and then be gone. It has put everyone in a great, playful mood! The boys spent a few hours after school playing in the snow with their friends, making snowmen, and having snowball fights. Kyle even got out in the snow for a little while until he finally froze over and had to go back inside. After all of the fun, we came inside and had cheese sandwiches and chicken noodle soup for dinner to warm up, and topped it off with delicious hot chocolate! School has been put on a 2-hour delay tomorrow, so now we can hope and pray that it gets cancelled altogether. What a great day!

Six Flags Over Texas

2009-09-06T13:02:00.001-07:00

We went to Six Flags Over Texas in July as a family because Christian earned a free ticket through a reading program at his school. Christian and Ty had a blast on all of the rides although I don't think that poor Kyle had very much fun being in the stroller all day long. Overall, it was a fun experience and I look forward to going again next summer!

What a trooper!

2009-07-25T16:26:00.000-07:00

Sorry about the sloppiness of this post so far--- I at least wanted to post pictures of Christian's hospital visit and broken arm for you all to see. Basically, we spent all night (about 12 hours) between 2 different hospitals where we spent most of time waiting and waiting to be seen (surprise). He broke both bones in his lower arm which luckily didn't require surgery but a cast that will be on for the next 7 weeks--- no more swimming :( ! He is doing very well and is back to normal wrestling with his brother and running around the house!

Sprayground

2009-07-05T14:15:00.001-07:00

My boys have found their new favorite summer spot: a "Sprayground" about 20 minutes away from our house. I feel totally comfortable going there because I don't have to worry about anybody drowning (the water is only 1/2 inch deep at the most)...so I can sit back and relax while they get a cool dose of relief from the heat! While this is a great place to go, I soooo miss the Tempe Beach Park in Arizona which is about 10x bigger and better than this place!!!

Birthday Boy!

2009-06-13T16:29:00.001-07:00

We went to "Amazing Jake's" for Christian's 7th birthday (he had been BEGGING to go there all year), and had alot of fun! We spent 3 hours going on rides, playing games, opening presents, and eating at the buffet. Afterward, we went and stayed at a hotel where Christian and Ty fell asleep soon after getting there. Not Kyle, though--- he wanted to stay up all night and play! Needless to say, I didn't get a good night's rest....Oh well. The next morning we swam in the pool and then went home!

Ty's Spring Baseball

2009-06-04T19:19:00.000-07:00

Ty also played on the Yankees but in a different league (t-ball). He learned alot, and enjoyed playing in the dirt, but he sure could hustle to the bases! It was so funny to watch him hit off the tee because he started running practically before he even hit--- the hits weren't too hard but he was so focused on running that he didn't even notice! Maybe track and field is in his future....

Christian's Spring Baseball

2009-06-04T19:03:00.000-07:00

Baseball season is FINALLY over! Christian moved up to coach pitch this year, and played on the Yankees with a few of his friends from church. I think that he had a good time.....Hopefully he'll want to play again next year!

Texas State Capitol

Texas has the tallest capitol building in the U.S. (including the national capitol in Washington D.C.)

Handsome cowboys!

University of Texas (Longhorn) Stadium

This was our first stop on our "Tour de Austin." I took these pictures from the top of a parking garage. I just had to take a few pictures of this most famous stadium!

Dallas Zoo

2009-05-24T13:32:00.001-07:00

Last week I went on a field trip to the zoo with Ty's preschool class. It was a beautiful day outside and all of the kids had a great time!

Brotherly Love

2009-05-24T10:46:00.001-07:00

I can't say enough about how much Ty loves his brother. I often find him in Kyle's crib playing with and/or soothing him when he is crying. Unfortunately, I also find myself yelling at Ty alot because he just won't leave Kyle alone (in a good way). He is just obsessed!

Fun Pictures

2009-05-17T10:16:00.001-07:00

We took these pictures a little while back just for fun. Please ignore the our weed-ridden yard. It's had a makeover since then thanks to Rex's hard work! I'll post pictures of the new and improved lawn soon!

Dallas Arboretum

2009-05-17T10:11:00.001-07:00

We went to the beautiful Dallas Arboretum a few weeks back for Christian's school field trip. I should have taken more pictures of the flowers and trees, but I guess these pictures will have to do :o)

First Grade Program

2009-05-17T10:03:00.000-07:00

Christian had his First Grade program a few weeks ago. He did really well singing, and with his small speaking part. When I was his age I would have been TERRIFIED if I had to speak!! It was also easy to see him because all the short kids stood in the front row (lol!)....

Greek Easter

2009-05-15T20:43:00.000-07:00

We have a friend who is Greek, and invited us to celebrate Easter "Greek" style at a farm outside of town. We enjoyed stuffing our faces with the over abundance of fantastic food, and the boys had a great time going on another Easter egg hunt, as you can see.....

Superbowl!

2009-05-15T04:39:00.000-07:00

In February, we had our own little Superbowl party here at home in Texas to root for our AZ Cardinals! Even though they lost, we still had a great time!

Snow Day!

2009-04-25T18:18:00.000-07:00

Back in January, we actually had a snow day and no school! To make things fun, I let the boys take over the family room and build a fort to sleep in. They had a blast!

Rockband

2009-04-18T16:06:00.000-07:00

The boys love this game, and it's amazing to me how fast they have caught on to it... It's pretty hilarious watching how serious they are when they are playing it!

Catching up!

2009-03-15T14:50:00.001-07:00

I'm still fairly new at the blogging thing, and haven't been very consistent lately. Sorry if it seems a little sloppy, I'm still figuring things out. I tend to feel overwhelmed easily, and blogging is one thing that I make harder (in my head) than it actually is! I'm going to try to make a better effort at posting at least every few weeks, so our friends and family far away can see, and hopefully get to know our family a little bit better :).
