More baseball

Throughout the season Jaxon has been able to try each position. Here he is as the catcher. Last year the catcher outfit did not fit him at all. The shin guards were way to big and the poor boy could not even bend his knees, lucky for him it fit him a lot better this year.







During the game I am constantly trying to keep Drey from going out onto the field. All he wants to do is play ball with the big boys. He got into the gear and was all ready to go...the sight was too cute not to take a picture.

Kenli & Preschool

I didn't put Kenli in preschool this year because I figured a year of preschool would be good and that I could teach her at home this year. But, I started getting busier with school and everyday Kenli was begging me to go somewhere. I was kind of like where do you want to go...all the time...every day. So, my solution was preschool. Yes, there are only 2 months left of the year, but Jaxon's old preschool teacher was kind enough to let Kenli join her preschool group. She goes twice a week and she is loving every second of it. Here she is on her first day. She was so excited-she always wanted to go when Jaxon would go last year.

Chris' birthday

We celebrated Chris' birthday at home. Chris doesn't really like cake that much and so every year I try to think of something new I can do to make a cake, but not a cake for Chris. This year I came up with a donut cake. I thought it was a great idea...and everyone else seemed to like it too. Of course the kids wanted to get the donuts with sprinkles and frosting on them, but I assured them that dad liked the glazed ones the best. The kids were of course super excited to see dad blow out his birthday candles and open his presents. Here is to the best dad and husband ever...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

dance

Kenli has enjoyed dance class so much this year. He is a little bit of what she has been learning. If you notice she isn't wearing her tap shoes it is because they were "bugging" her today-also she gets a little goofy because she notices I am recording her, but she is still the cutest dancer!

Jaxon's REAL birthday

March 17, 2005 our amazing little Jaxon came into this world. He is truly exceptional. He is smart and such a good big brother to his younger siblings. He is "usually" quick to help and he always lets us know how much he loves us. We celebrated his birthday at home. He of course wanted a Darth Vadar cake, so that is what he got.

Spring Break

So, I have decided that Chris and I are brave parents. We seem to think we can do anything and everything with our kids and everything will go according to plan. We take them everywhere with us. For spring break the kids really wanted to go do something fun. I had heard of this neat little hike up Gold Canyon that lead to some heiroglyphs. I though hmm... that sounds fun, and my friend took her little girls on the hike, so I am sure we can take our kids and it will be just fine. The kids were excited, we were excited...



See don't we look happy?

Then this.


THIS is Kenli throwing a fit within the first two minutes of our hike. Yep, she was crying and screaming and refusing to walk or even stand. So, did we go home? Nope. Chris, being the awesome dad that he is, hiked up the whole trail with Drey strapped to his back and Kenli in front.


To top it off we were having an above average day that day- it was a sunny 85 degrees, and the "easy" hike turned out to be a little advanced for little feet, but we made it. Along the way we were blessed enough to see a bunny, a lizard, and a rattlesnake! I really, really dislike snakes and it made me a little paranoid the rest of the way up and back down. Of course there were plenty of men, including my son and husband, who wanted to stop and look at the snake-take its picture--one guy was even trying to move it with a stick. Crazy people! I was happy to hurry past it--avoiding all contact with the horrible thing! Once to the top of the trail it was really neat to see the heiroglyphs. Jaxon especially thought it was neat. I will definitely go on this hike again, but maybe leave the little littlies home.

Jaxon's Birthday

It all started in December when Jaxon wanted Legos for Christmas, specifically Star Wars Legos. Of course Santa brought him a few little things and from there things have just progressed. So, for his birthday he wanted a Star Wars birthday, mind you that Jaxon had never seen any Star Wars movie or cartoons up to this point. Well he got his Star Wars birthday and things have not been the same around here since. I don't think a day goes by that I don't hear or see something that has to do with Star Wars. Jaxon is constently drawing Star Wars pictures, playing Star Wars, or wanting to watch Star Wars. He knows more about Star Wars then is probably good for him. Needless to say he is pretty obsessed...LOL...no joke as I am typing I can hear him out in our family room humming the Star Wars theme...never ends.


The Jedi group




For an activity we had the boys run and jump through an obstacle course, rescue princess Leah, and in order to become a true Jedi they had to face and defeat Darth Vadar. Chris courageously took on this role, but I don't think he realized how much of a work out he was going to get. The boys thought this part of the party was awesome and they did not want to stop!


Princess Leah

Washington Huskies T-Ball

Baseball began, and now it is almost over. Here are a few pics from Jaxon's first game. These boys seem so much smaller than the kids on Jaxon's team last year. Last year his team consisted mainly of 6 and 7 year olds, he was the youngest at 5. This year the team consists of mainly 5 and 6 year olds. While watching them practice I was a little nervous. The boys didn't seem like they knew what they were doing at all...and I was thinking great Jaxon is going to regress this year instead of getting better, but to my relief they played really well their first game. It was funny, all of the parents were like WOW I can't believe how good they are playing. The little huskies have done well this season!



Jaxon received the game ball---he was completely thrilled to get it on the first game of the season.
