End of March...

The official start to Baseball season...their parade and opening ceremonies. (yes, he already had 6 games but that was a preseason tournament. Now the games officially begin!)





Getting the garden ready...






Ck's rice crispy treats, her new favorite treat! :) She asks for them ALL the time. They are made with a koala crisp cereal that is kind of like a chocolate rice crispy.




And a sleeping picture of Ollie. I love sleeping pictures. Check out the drool. :)

Nine Months!






Yep, it's crazy, but our baby is 9 months already!! It has gone by SO fast yet it seems like he has been with us forever now. He just fits right in as one of the kids! He is getting bigger all the time and really is ready to move, but he is not crawling quite yet. He seems to be wanting to so we are expecting it any day now. He can seem to get just about whatever he wants it seem with his SUPER long reach. He is always surprising us with what he can get! He likes to be on his feet more all the time, especially to jump and he is loving eatting more each day too! Oh and FINALLY he likes baths! He has HATED baths until this month. He would SCREAM like he never screams about anything. It was so sad. I was wondering how any child of mine could hate water since I was obviously a water LOVER from birth, but he has come around and now enjoys bath time with Clara Kate! We are very relieved since it's almost summer and we were hoping he would enjoy swimming with the kids! Oh and he has moved from stroller watching to actually wanting to sit in the car and play when we are outside! Next thing we know, we are going to be chasing him all over the place! And of course, how could I forget to mention that HAIR! It is pretty hilarious the way it is growing in and at the sticking straight up stage right now. People often crack up when I'm carrying him places. He waves and says his "hi" and says a good mama and dada now intentionally and then just babbles and occasionally growls like a lion when provoked by Levi or CK or falls into fits of belly laughter when they tickle him.

Beginning Spring Planting and Baseball!

And Baseball begins! Levi just had two practices and then went right into a tournament where he played 6 games in just 4 days. He was pretty tired but LOVED every minute of it. He mostly played third base and got hits every time which he was pretty proud of. He also got a forced out on third which was something new he just learned, so he was pretty pumped about that too. His team is all pretty new so it is still pretty hilarious to watch, but they are improving all the time. His real season games don't start for a couple more weeks though.




And when it is baseball season, the games at home seem to be baseball a lot too. Check out the outfit levi had CK put on to play baseball with him! :)

And some planting to get ready for our garden. We did some seeds so levi could watch them grow into little plants and then we'll transfer them to our little garden bed when they're ready and also put in some flower bulbs. And this is how Ollie helps with planting, watching from the grass!





Spring Days...

Just a few pictures of March fun...
Taking a walk with Clara pushing her dolly. She is really into pushing her dolly with us on walks but I usually am the one walking beside her with ollie so I haven't been able to get a picture, but craig was home, so I got one this time! :)



this one, just because :)


Making some rice crispy treats!
Ollie playing with his friend Zeke!


Brothers waiting for friends to come and play...



More tub fun! (They are scuba divers just in case you couldn't tell! :))



And finally some levi photography of his army guys. :) He asked me to please put them on the blog because they are very good pictures!

Happy 80th Birthday to Aunt Barb!

So these are birthday clips for Aunt Barb for her 80th birthday video. It is easier to upload them here in order to transfer them to the video that will be on its way to Michigan later this week, but figured it is fun to see the kids anyways, so you can all enjoy the clips too. :)
