Golf Balls are Falling on my Head

This is what happened at our house about an hour ago!






Yes, we are all ok. Might not be able to say the same for our roof...but we'll see.

Exploration

Ah, the wonderful world of Potato Bugs*! Also know as: Quite possibly the best toy we've gotten out of a Wendy's kids meal!







* That's Rollie Pollie for all you natives.

10 Years Ago...

Field Day

Last Saturday our local Triple A Baseball team opened up their playing field to the fans. We toured the clubhouse, checked out where our season tickets are this year, and threw balls around on the field. James thought it was better than Christmas! He's definitely ready for Baseball Season to start!

Nap Games

This is what goes on when the boy decides he doesn't want to sleep during "nap" time.

Here he is explaining to me how he built this road for his cars and it's really neat and he's going to make a hill and drive his cars on it and it's bumpy and he's going to drive his cars on it. Did he mention the part about driving cars on it?

Progress

Izzy is getting closer to walking. Last week she took a handfull of steps before toppling over.


But the cutest thing to see is her brother take her hand and walk her around the room while saying "Come on Isabel Jeanne, walk like a big boy."

Extras

James is warming up to swings

Izzy, on the other hand, loves them!

Isabel calling for her dog Fergus

Nothing follows pancakes first thing in the morning like OREO's. (And yes, he is wearing his baseball hat so he can "eat like a pitcher.")

James being silly in the car

Izzy is NOT amused

Take me out to the game

If you know James at all, you know he has a huge love for baseball. He's been throwing a ball (and I mean good) since he was about 9 months old. Recently he's gone from being able to throw an amazing pitch, to being able to bat a pretty amazing distance. I tried to capture some of it on video the other day while he was out playing with Dad.

BUT unfortunately, it looks like blogger is still being weird about uploading video. So here are some nice pictures instead. :-)







Trust me, the video is cooler!
