Take Me Out to the Ball Game!

We took Noah to see the Yankees play the Astros in a Spring Training game in Florida.

We the love the spring training games because you get to see up close.

Tim and Noah went down to watch the bull pen warm up and Noah was amazed at how fast the pitcher could throw.

Noah had so many baseball questions, Tim spent most of the game explaining as much as he could.

After the game, Noah rode home with his souvenir bat and sang "take me out to the ballgame" over and over and over!

Our Spring Break!

We had so much fun last week soaking up the sun and watching the kids run free in the sand and water. This especially for me was my last get away before baby three, Avery Loren (we're pretty sure), makes her arrival..only 8 weeks until my due date!

My Favorite Girl, My Favorite Week

Here are some of my favorite pictures of Anna from last week. We had so much fun in Florida, too bad it had to end!

She loved the sand...hated the water!

She was so much fun in the pool and even learned to float with her water wings on.

Nana came to visit and brought easter baskets for all the grandchildren. Anna was VERY excited!

Anna's hair was very curly in the Florida humidity. She's in one of my dressy maternity tops...it looked like a long dress on her, little cutie!

My Big Boy!

Tim and I were just talking today about how big Noah is getting. His mannerisms and the way he does things is changing by the day. He really is becoming a big kid.

He came out of his room in only his baseball socks and underwear! I laughed and laughed...oh and this is his "monster" pose, to which he adds a loud roar!

Noah loves to help me with anything I'm doing, but he's actually becoming really helpful. He's learned how to put the silverware in the right spots...and by the time he's done, I'm finished putting the rest of the dishes away.

Uncle Nick brought over some fire cracker popsicles to our little cook out at Uncle Mike and Aunt Katie's. Noah was a little more than spoiled when we were visiting Tim's brother.

Noah learned how to swim by himself when we went to Florida this past week...well with his water wings on. But this is a big improvement from last year...he wouldn't leave the steps and refused to use ANY flotation device. Good job Noah!

Wedding Bells!

Anna loves to climb up on this chair and "help" anytime I'm working in the kitchen. She will throw a fit if I don't let her, but she is quite content as long as she can see what I'm doing up there...and it's better than holding her the whole time...all 27 pounds!

Noah and I made some flowers with his kid's connects toys. He told me that they were wedding flowers and gave some to Anna.

I asked, "Whose wedding is it?" And he said they were for his wedding. So, I asked, "Who are you marrying?" He quickly responded, "Anna!" Duh, Mom...who else would it be??

Happy March 1st!

This morning, Noah got a star for his chart because he stayed in his room all night. He picked a smartie candy as his reward and this is him sharing his reward with Anna...completely unprompted too! He can be so very very sweet!

Before church this morning the kids posed for some cuddly pics. This one is from me telling Anna to give Noah a kiss.

Noah's burning bush he made at church today...we was really excited about it.
