Fun Weekend

Poor caterpillar didn't stand a chance...
Chase's first time bowling.
A little instruction from daddy:-)
A day at the Cahaba....so much fun. These boys had a ball fishing, throwing rocks, and walking around in the water.
One dirty boy!!! When this little boy had a bath last night the water was disgusting!
The entire crew in a canoe, that wasn't ours:-) It belong to the boy scouts and the owner was not very happy about it being in the water. We did not put it in the water, but couldn't resist putting the kids in for a picture. I bribed them all with candy to get in it:-)

Arms up...sweet little Brock the youngest and toughest of the crew:)
The dare devils climbed on top of this big rock!

Birthday Party and Barons Game



What a dirty boy! Last Saturday, we celebrated Molly's birthday at the park. Molly and Chase stay together at Mrs. Sherrie's. They look forward to Friday's when they get the spend the entire day together! The boys enjoyed working with "real" players before the Barons game on Sunday.
The pitcher from the other team took a few minutes to talk to some of our boys. The boys were so excited.
Yes, Chase and Riggs used the bathroom in front of everyone at the game....so embarrassing. At least Riggs was smart enough to stand in front of Chase:-)


Riggs, Fisher, and Chase
Chase was asleep before we got on the interstate:-) The headphones would slip off his ears and he would put them back on without opening his eyes. I tried to take them off but he wasn't having any of that!

Beautiful Weather

We are loving this weather! Chase couldn't wait to try out his new slip-n-slide from the "bunny!"

Easter Weekend

Burning a leaf with a maginifying glass.

Early Sunday morning, Chase woke up coughing and wheezing, so we started giving him a breathing treatment. By 5:00, he was up and laying on the couch. When he woke up around 7:30, he hollered, "Hey mom and dad come see what the bunny brought me." He was so excited and forgot that he saw it at 5:00 when he ended up on the couch. We gave him some Tylenol and took him to my grandmother's house. He was not himself at all. He did hunt eggs and play in the yard for a little while. By the afternoon, he was exhausted and we headed home. Needless to say, we took Monday off so that I could monitor his asthma. He was feeling much better by mid morning and was fever free. Asthma and allergies are going to be hard this time of the year!

More baseball

Chase at Pitcher I want to remember these precious memories. Chase tried to listen to Rob, but all he heard was run to first base. So the batter hit the ball and Chase ran to first... without the ball. He did beat the batter to first... if only he had the ball. Later on, he got the ball he tagged the runner from first to second. Too bad he didn't have the ball in the glove... it was in his other hand. At least he was focused for those two plays. He is learning, right:-)
Chase and Riggs

Opening Weekend/First Game

Chase and Brady at opening day! Cannot believe they are old enough to play t-ball!

Our team, the Yankees
Chase and Riggs...pregame practice...really talking=)

Pregame huddle
Chase batting, love the back side of this little boy. He is tall but a stick! He chose to be number 1.
First base


Really paying attention to the game...smacking on his bubble gum:)


Last Saturday was opening weekend at the ballpark. We went to the opening ceremony and then had our first game. It was hilarious! The team we played all dove for the ball at once and it looked like football instead of baseball. Our boys and girl, stood in position and for the most part, listened to the coaches. It was so fun and funny to watch them play. Chase told us that he loves playing. He meets Rob in the basement every afternoon asking to play ball. I think he likes Rob's one-on-one attention at home since he has to share it on the field and at practice=) It is sweet and I am glad that they can experience this together.
