Moving!

As our family and most of our friends know...we're moving back to Oklahoma!

It was a hard decision to make! We've enjoyed our time in Texas, made a lot of wonderful friends...some as close as family but we're going to enjoy being close to Grandparents, Great-Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and a cousin that we usually only get to see a couple of times a year.

I'll post new pics, etc. once we get settled...because you know the Adventures with Little Man knows no borders. :D

Take care our TX friends, we'll miss you and promise to keep in touch.

Pics from the last game of the season.

Base hit!

Running to third!

Little Man & "A" in the outfield discussing Transformers.

Medals & Trophies!

All smiles!

With all the complaining, "I'm hot, I don't want to play, I'm hungry" and the kids wearing black polyester jerseys in the TX heat and melting by 9am...it was all worth it when they got their trophies and medals!

We asked Little Man if he wanted to play T-Ball again next year and he said he wants to play golf. :)

San Francisco Giants!

Little Man in front row, right end.

Will post pics from the last game of the season soon!

Here's a few pics from Little Man's Last Day of School Luau Party.

checking out the loot!

Video of Little Man batting...

You'll have to excuse me yelling into the camera and moving the camera around...wanted to film Little Man but also wanted to keep an eye on the next batter so I didn't get pegged with a fly ball. Some of those kids can really hit!

First Game of the Season!

Little Man had his first T-Ball game of the season and it was great! The kids looked so cute in their uniforms, although the shirts were like dresses on all of them. :D

When the team took the field, I think there were more parents out there than players. The coaches directing the kids to chase the ball when it was hit, suggesting they keep their eye on the batter so they don't get hit in the head with the ball and throwing the ball to first. And the parents taking pictures, recording video of the game and helping catch wild throws so no one took a ball to the face. :)

Once the team was up to bat, the coaches & parents would stand at each base so the kids would know where to run. The coaches waving their arms crazily and the Mom's yelling, "run to Mommy, run to Mommy!" It was pretty entertaining. Especially when a kid from the other team got a base hit, ran to first and kept going. They had to chase him down. :D

Here's some pics from the game:

The line up. Little Man in the gray pants, 6th kid down.

Little Man getting a base hit! Run! Run!

Shaking hands with the other team, "Good Game, Good Game..."

Little Man is right in front of the coach with the blue shirt.

I'll try to post the video of Little Man hitting the ball as soon as I can.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Practice #2

Little Man's 2nd practice went well! He's hitting better and going after the ball more but we need to work on running the bases. :)

Daddy was on hand for this one...hee hee...quite the eye-opener for him. :D

Base Hit!

High five at 1st base!

In the outfield.

Goofy's idea of "getting his glove up".

Tomorrow is the first game of the season! So exciting! I'll take some video to share.

Have a great weekend!

Play Ball!

Last night was Little Man's first T-Ball practice!

He's always enjoyed throwing balls and hitting...things. :D And after watching his cousins play flag-football, he expressed interest in playing a sport. I was more excited about him playing T-Ball than football...for obvious reasons, so we signed him up. After receiving a T-Ball stand for his Birthday, a bat, a glove and a bag of soft T-Balls, we practiced at the park. He hit the ball really well and although he's not as crazy about fielding, he gives it a good effort and has a good arm!

The team name is the San Francisco Giants! They received their team caps and jerseys and they are going to look so cute at the first game!

I wasn't sure what to expect at the first practice...they are a group of 4-5 year olds. And I think only 2 of the kids have played before. But the coach was so patient with them and covered the basics in the hour we had to practice.

Here are some pics from last nights practice:

Not really interested in stretching

Need to work on that fielding! :D

Little Man finally getting to bat!

I'll keep taking pictures and recording some of the games for the Grandparents. :)

On vacation...

Lots to do before going to visit the family for Easter so I'll post something new when we get back.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter holiday!

It's Party Time!

Today was Little Man's Birthday Party at Pump It Up! Imagine 30 kids bouncing around and sliding down a giant inflatable slide...great fun!

Little Man had so much fun with all his friends...so happy that they all could join him in celebrating his 4th Birthday.

Happy Birthday Jedi Jaden!

Slam Dunk with an assist from Daddy

Time for Pizza!

Star Wars Birthday Cupcake Cake!

I think he was getting tired and starting to zone out. :D

Still had enough energy to play after the party...

couldn't say the same for Daddy! :D

I forgot to take "The Silly Birthday Hat" to the party but he was a good sport about me getting a picture of him wearing it once we got home.

Friends and Family singing "Happy Birthday"

Thanks to everyone who celebrated with us!

It was fun!
