2012 Baseball

Every year, it gets easier and easier to do fun things with the kids.  While there are many sad moments as we realize how big they are getting, there is so much to enjoy at each age.  This year - no strollers at baseball games and everyone has their own seat!  Isaiah and Mallory still sit in our laps some, but not for the entire game.  We can actually watch the game!  (Which is great because the games we've been to so far this year have been pretty exciting!)  Both kids actually enjoy watching the game, too.  It's impressive how well they can follow along.  The questions they ask about what is happening show they really want to understand how the game is played.

 Mallory likes to help carry in the bag 'o snacks.


The view from our seats - love!  We are right behind home plate this year!!!





Oh my goodness!  It's so exciting; I can't watch!




The roof was closed for our first game, but it's been open for the others!  Last year it was closed at every game we went to, so it's been nice to enjoy the evening fresh air.




The Sausage Races are so much fun!!


Love the fun expressions.  :)


Everybody clap your hands!  



Hit one out of the park, Braun!


Mallory's fave - Corey Hart


Oh goodness!  Hit it in the gap!

Easter Sunday

He is risen!  He is risen, indeed!  Alleluia!

Easter Sunday is such a wonderful day.  We had beautiful weather up here this year, so it was especially fun for Mallory to wear a dress.  It was a traditional day for our family - church (sunrise service at 6:30 a.m.!), brunch at church, then a turkey and ham lunch at home as a family.  Sunrise service was really nice.  It was still dark outside when we left for church.  Mallory promptly noticed this and said, "Oh no!  I think we woke up too early!"  It was so funny!


 It is nearly impossible to get both kids to look at the camera at the same time.  This is the best I could do for a brother/sister picture.




Silly boy!  :)

WINter

So, did we even have winter this year or what?!  I say WINter was a WINner!  I don't mind the snow - unless it is still around in March which it usually is - but, I have to admit that it was kinda nice to have a break from 90 inches of it this year.  

I promise you, there was one Saturday that we had snow on the ground to take the kids out for some pictures.  Our snowman was pretty sad, but the snow angels were awfully cute.




 Minnie came out to play with us.
