Spring Sports

What happened to the good and faithful blogger that I once was? Spring sports! We had soccer and baseball going on for Ethan, and blastball for Davin. Doug is the assistant coach of Ethan's soccer team, the Sharks. I am head coach of Davin's blastball team, the Braves. Let's just say that life was very hectic for the months of April and May, and the first 2 weeks of June.

Below is a bunch of mixed shots taken at various games of various sports. Some of them are of team parties, or of us just hanging out at the field with friends! There is no rhyme or reason to the order so enjoy!

too much fun!

Happy Easter!!!

Hello, blog! It has been a looooong time. So long that when I logged in the Easter pics were sitting in my drafts. What happened??? Baseball, soccer, and blastball simultaneously is what happened. Some of the pics in this post aren't turned the right direction, but I'm not too worried about that right now. Here are some pics of Claire's first Easter. I hope to post the spring pics over the couple of days so I can keep all of our summer fun current!

The Stats

Well, I didn't get Claire's 6 month well check done until she was seven months old. Better late than never. I would have had it done on her half b-day, but the well visit was changed to a sick visit since she had that horrible RSV. I did Davin's 3 year visit at the same time so I didn't have to go to the doctor twice. Claire is perfectly healthy!


She completely weaned herself at 6 months 3 weeks after having Babe's mashed potatoes. I had one big cry, but I am coping with it better day by day. Dr. Dhoot said if she wants food then give her food as long as it isn't a choking hazard. She enjoyed the soft inside of some tator tots tonight. The problem is she already wants to feed herself, and isn't too fond of me feeding her baby food with a spoon.



She is now drinking an 8 oz bottle every 4 hours. She sleeps from 8pm-4am straight, but she walks up at 4am for that bottle like clock work. She drains the whole thing so I do not think that she is "snacking." The time is going by sooo fast. Here are her 6 month ( really 7month) stats

Weight:16lbs (25%) Length 26 inches (50%)
How did your brothers compare?
Ethan- Weight 17.14 lbs (60%) Length 27 inches (75%)
Davin- Weight 16.6lbs (25%) Length 28.5inches (96%)

Davin looked fabulous as well. He has already completed his 3 year old sheet for whatever that means. He is still all about anything to do with playing any type of sport. He now enjoys riding his bike and scooter, but always insist that he have on his helmet. He even likes playing cars with Ethan now. He loves to play games such as Elefun, It will be interesting to see how blastball goes! Here are my precious little boys 3 year stats.

Weight: 32.6lbs (50%) Length: 39.5 inches (85%)
How did Ethan compare?
Weight:34.6 (75%) Length 37.5inches (50%)

I am so thankful that I am the mother of these 3 beautiful children!

Happy 75th Birthday Papa Fred!

Last Saturday, Cindy snapped this shot of the little ones playing there own game during Ethan and Michael's soccer game. I wonder what the object of this game was!



I am so glad that we had the opportunity to celebrate my Papa's 75th birthday! The boys and I baked a cake, and we went to my Grandparent's house to celebrate with a birthday cook out after Ethan' soccer game. I think it is so awesome that the boys love to hang out and play with their Great Grandfather.



I asked Papa what he thinks the biggest difference is between the present, and when he was my age. His answer was the obvious technology, but the other half of his answer made me sad. He said that a person's word used to mean something. It was worth as much or more than their dollar. He said that now days he has experienced that most people don't really mean what they say, and just say whatever will make them look the best or keep them out of trouble. I do not want to be one of those people. It is my hope that my word is good to me friends. Of course, if you are a close friend then you already know that I am really don't sugar coat anything :)
