Little White Frog

Dan found this little frog sitting on our porch on Saturday morning. I've never seen a white frog?! We decided that maybe he was a chamelion frog?? Ha ha is there such a thing?? At any rate, he was very cute, and thought he deserved his own blog!!

S'mores!

We had our first s'mores session of the season this weekend. Dan made a fire in the fire bowl, and a cooking we went! Ryan loved toasting the marshmallows, although he was a little hesitant at first. His first taste of a S'more went well, he LOVED it! Although Lillian
did not get to try a whole s'more she did enjoy eating just the graham crackers, as you can see by the face! Please excuse the outifts on the children, as we were ready for bed!! :)

Cold nights at T Ball..

The sunny times at T ball have been far and few between lately. We all have to bundle up to be outside to watch them play, it IS June, isn't it?? Ryan will get his second T ball trophy this Thursday, as the season comes to an end. He has become such a better, more focused player this year. Ry is looking forward to starting up with Pony Ball next year!!

Look Alikes..

Can you guess which is Lillian and which is Ryan? :)

Lillians First Ice Cream Cone!

Lillian had her second bout of Strep throat last week. Because she didn't want anything to do with anything that was hard, or warm to eat..we decided to try an ice cream cone. She LOVED it! We put some sherbert in it, and she devoured it!!

A Proud Mommy Moment!

When we first started T ball last year I was very hesitant about Ryan. Not of his skill, because you know he's been practicing, but because of his size. Well, the first day last year, we met up with our team, and the first thing that someone says, "He is too little, he must not be on our team. He can't hit!" I think I was more devastated then Ryan was. I still remember the look on his face at that moment. Then I also remember the look on his team mates faces when he NAILED the first pitch right out into the field (in fact almost hitting the coach who was pitching). That was my proud Mommy moment last year.
Last night, Ryan did it again, proved to me that he is a wonderful little man with a lot drive. He is growing so fast! Ryan was SO concentrated last night. The first ball out into the field last night, Ry was on it, grabbed it and threw it to first base (just like Daddy taught him). Then he was up at bat, hit one with a lot of force out into the field. The next at bat I could see him getting a little discouraged as pitch after pitch they all got by him. I could see the determination in his eyes, but he just couldn't connect with the ball. Finally..the last pitch before having to get the T out..Ryan James NAILED the ball right *out of the park!* (Ok, ok, not really out of the park, but close!) :)
I just was SO proud of him. I thought it may deserve a little blog about it since last blog was all about Lil. Only one game left! I can't wait to see how he does!!

Sneaky Eyes...

As I sit at the table, doing computer stuff I notice Lillian. She is standing on the couch, looking at me with little sneaky eyes, and a little smile behind her plug. I say to her, "What are you up to?" She does a little giggle and looks at the item she is picking up that is out of my sight, then looks at me with another little giggle. Hmm...suspicious?? So as I stand up to come around the corner to see what she is doing she falls to the couch cushion and covers it up in her lap. LITTLE SNEAK! After some tickling, I finally discovered she was playing with the remote for the tv! She thinks it is hysterical to play with things that she knows she is not supposed to!
These are these moments in life that I hope never go away..the cute little moments that you realize you couldn't possibly love your children any more then you do. It totally makes up for the moments you just want to bury yourself in bed and never come out. And somehow they all just know when you need one of these cute moments, they know when you need your spirit lifted.
So here is to a good day..and hoping that you all have your moment today! Just a little something to make you smile!
