Baseball!

The weather is picking up here in Georgia and we've officially unlocked the doors to the backyard - which means, there is at least one child in the backyard at all times, and many times without clothes. Thank goodness we have good neighbors :-) The nice weather also has brought on baseball and I'll tell you, baseball is the real deal. Declan is 6 and parents are screaming at the ump and telling their teams that they didn't try hard enough. It's nuts and honestly I have a hard time watching it... But I do love watching Declan play and love that he's really starting to get into the "rules" of the game and enjoys it. Today we played outside all day and night long. And I got to go to Declan's game solo since it was during the girls nap time and Andy wanted to stay back and watch the Badger game. Here are a few pictures from the day...

Baseball Sunday...

Declan's team is early in the season so they rotate the boys around, today Declan played outfield, catcher and 2nd base... He did great!

He also got the game ball today because he played so well - so proud of the little guy!

Then when we got home, we played more baseball in the backyard  the girls LOVE playing!

Aven - she looks like an angel here...

We celebrated the Badger win with the girls first ice cream cone. It's hard to believe they are 3 and have never had a cone - deprived little girls ;) It went about as well as expected - they had it all over, they were cheersing each other with them and one's dropped on the ground where the others were eating it off the floor. Then they broke out in a random dance party (with no music mind you) and entertained everyone else at the ice cream place... (L to R: Stevie, Aven & Bria)
