GO ANGELS!

I can't believe my Logan is now 5 yrs old and able to play T-ball! His team is the Angels and no I didn't have to do anything to get him on this team. I had heard from other parents that "everyone" wants to be on the Angels. (Hmm, in one ear and out the other for me).

They have practice once a week and games 1-2 times a week. It's fun to go to the games only because it totally reminds me of back when I was little and used to go watch my brother play and would pick out the boys that I thought were cute and get to eat at the Snack Shack! And now at 31 yrs old it's pretty much the same... well not looking for cute boys but the Snack Shack is still the best! Where else can you get an awesome pretzel for $1?! LOL! Other than that I think baseball is BORING! It's fine because my kids is out there playing but seriously that is one long hour! Logan even has said he likes to play JUSA soccer much more. We'll see how things go. In T-ball there is no scoring or score keeping. Each player on both teams get to bat twice and then the game is over.

Here's Logan guarding 3rd base but is it just me but maybe he's thinking about what item he's going to get from the Snack Shack when this game is over!?

Logan up to bat...

SWING!

RUN!


SAFE!

GO ANGELS!!!

Kira's 1st Day of Pre-school

Kira started Preschool this week! We've been talking about it for weeks but I decided to wait until after our Cabo trip to start her. She totally knows the preschool inside and out and all the teachers and staff know her by looking at her. I thought she was ready to go to school just like Logan. She loved talking about it, about what she was going to play with there, who was going to be her teacher, which classroom was going to be hers etc.

Here she is letting me get the only 2 shots she allowed of her. She said, "Ok Mommy I'll take a picture but I'm NOT smiling or going to look"! Real nice! She even picked out her own outfit today. She thinks she wants to pick out her own outfit everday and wants to wear only dresses and tights with cute shoes! Such a girl.... MUCH more than any of you can imagine!


When we got to school we dropped brother off in his class and then went to sign Kira up, turn in paper work, pay money and figure out which class and teacher was going to be hers. Miss Amber is her teacher and she seemed really nice and sweet. At first Kira clunge to my leg for a moment until she noticed that paints were sitting on the table. Miss Amber let her paint an Easter shirt of her own and that was it! I was FREE, I was able to leave like after 10 minutes! No crying, nothing! Well that's what I thought until I walked out down the outside hallway and thru the gates into my car.... What happened was I was sooooo SAD and I started CRYING! Now I have both my kids in school and who will be my "little buddy"?!

All in all I think the first week went great and she will be fine! It's much easier sending a 2nd child to school than a first because they already know the "deal" the concept, have been there numerous times etc. :)

Curls

Today Kira and Logan had a Model Search photo shoot with a photographer friend of mine that we've used in the past. She was hosting a Matilda Jane Model Search... I don't know what exactly for but both the kids were accepted and of course I'll jump to the opportunity for someone else, someone fantastic to take their photographs. If you've never seen or heard of Matilda Jane then I recommend you google it because they have the most adorable and unique clothing for girls.... expensive but adorable!

Here's Kira just after I curled her hair (she's holding all her outfits for the shoot). I've only curled her hair now twice. The first time didn't last very long at all but for some reason today it looked really pretty and lasted pretty much thru the photo session and all day! I must of done a good job. It's funny cuz these pics don'y really show how cute she really looked with curled hair.

People always comment to me about Kira's hair being sooo long and pretty. They ask me "hair" questions and I guess I'm a little dumb and just figure ALL kids her age have long hair too? I guess they don't?


Anyhow, it was a LONG but fun day. Can't wait to see the outcome!

CABO 2010

I've realized I've neglected my family blog. I've been a slacker and haven't been giving much attention or love to my family blog. Sorry! We took our annual trip to Cabo the 2nd week in March. This year it was our family of 4 and my parents. My brother wasn't able to come this time. It was a nice 8 day vacation.... lounging in the sun, swimming, shopping, EATING and DRINKING to sum it up! Oh my gosh.... I went there not exactly feeling like being in a bikini and then because of the eating and drinking there by day 4 I tried on the exact same jeans I flew there in and I could hardly breathe in them! They were like spandex jeans, what the heck?! It was disgusting, LOL! Can beer, chips, salsa, guacamole, tacos, beans, rice, beer and more beer really do that to your body in such a short time? Oh and did I mention no working out for a week, uggghhh! Anyhow, the kids really enjoyed the beach and the pool daily. LOVE our annual Cabo trip but definitely by the end of the week I was ready to come home. I'd like to post pics but there are TOO MANY so I don't know what to do!? Maybe I'll get around to just putting them on a slide show.

:)
