Fun Stuff Pt. 2

Read "Fun Stuff" if you didn't already and then you'll understand this post...

So, we went back to Beef O'Brady's this past Wednesday to try our hand at the trivia game again since we won last week. We had high hopes and a LOT of confidence, but I guess it didn't matter. We lost BAAAAAAAAD!!!!!!! I mean BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!!! We didn't even have a chance! Maybe we'll try again next week - keep your fingers crossed!

First Baseball Game of the Spring 2008 Season!

Last weekend was the opening of the Spring 2008 tball season. Our team consists of players that have been on the team for a couple of seasons now, so they are getting to know their stuff and it definitely showed! When our team took the field, they got into their designated positions and all together they put their hands on their knees in a crouched position, looking like professional baseball players. The team we were playing consisted of a LOT of younger kids - mostly 4-year olds - and it showed! Our team looked VERY intimidating out on the baseball field and I even felt a little sorry for the opposing team! That started the game off right and it only got better. Euan got one of the first balls hit and grounded it like he has been doing this for years (when in all actuality he really has). He threw it to first and was so proud of himself! He cheered a little after he threw the ball and it was like a lightbulb went off in that little boys head and he finally knew what baseball was all about! Ashton got one of the next few balls, as well, and he also grounded it with grace! I was so proud of our boys and the rest of the team followed suit, showing off their experience! I wish I had had a video camera on our team that day - they were FANTASTIC and it was a GREAT way to start off the new season!!!!!!

GOOOOOOOOOOO BRAVES!!!!!!!

(No pictures this time, I'll be sure to take some soon!)

Strawberry Festival Time!

It's that time of year again - Strawberry Festival time!!! Yummy strawberries, whip cream, cake and LOTS of sugar are the PERFECT combination for a delicious time at the Strawberry Festival! The boys, Scott and I all took a treck to the Tampa area last weekend (March 2nd) for a fun-filled day! The last time we went was probably about four years ago, so either Ashton was not born yet or was a tiny baby. The boys had a good time riding the rides and eating although it is less strawberry and more carnival now. All in all, though, we had a good time and the strawberry shortcake was definitely worth the $10 per person gate fee, the $7 per person dessert price and the long line!!! Here are a few pictures from our trip! Notice the whip cream on the boys faces :)

Sweet Boys!

The cutest thing happened a few nights ago that I just needed to share. My boys, as is well known, are very very very very very very different! One says black the other says white, one says go the other says stop, and so on! Well, Euan had sat down to read one of his library books and Ashton said he was going to help him so he held the book and turned the pages while Euan read it. I was so sweet watching the two of them sit side-by-side, working together to read the book. It was the perfect definition of PRECIOUS!!!!!!!!!!
