Sunny days

Jaxon had baseball tryouts on Thursday. I do not understand "tryouts" for a kindergartner but I am told that it's the norm around here. Jax had a lot of fun. Ross and I were nervous wrecks. This poor little sucker was teamed up with Jose Canseco jr. as we watched him catch one outta 10 pitches. Ross has since got him all the gear necessary to compete with Canseco jr. and they are going to practice every night. This really was one of the more stressful events of my life as a mom. It was cute, sad and hilarious all at the same time.

Ivy and I having been spending our afternoons at the park lately. She is so quick to make a new best friend everyday and play with them all the games that Jaxon won't play with her anymore.

And then.............He practiced and practiced again..

Drake and Bubba came to visit this weekend. The kids and I loved every minute with these two.

She really wore the visor Jax made for here. I told you she would.

She even wore it to the park. She ended up really needing it there when she proceed to show Jax the old "UNDERDOG" trick on the swings. She is standing next to me as we were pushing the kids on the swings. She says, "Hey guys, wanna see a cool trick?". Next thing I know she is running under the swing Jax is on, falls flat on her visor while her grandchildren watch and several family picnickers stand in awe. We shamefully left the park asap and I don't think either one of us has laughed that hard in well, Never..

Ross shaved and got a haircut! That put the cherry on top  of the whole weekend.

Kitchen table artist's

Ivy takes after her great-grandpa Dan (Rock painting extraordinaire)

Rainy Sundays mean we create art on the kitchen table. We are armed with crayons, paper, paints, glitter, pom poms, pipe cleaners, and surprise gifts for Grandmas.

This wooden birdhouse doesn't stand a chance. Soon it will be purple with googly eyes glued all over it.

Happiness in a homemade visor

This one of a kind visor was handcrafted with love, by Jaxon for my mom AKA Bubba. He remembered that she is 51 years old and so he added that nice little foam reminder of her age (So she won't forget how old she is). The best/worst thing about this visor is that she will actually wear it.
