T ball and gymnastics!

T Ball started earlier this summer but 1/3 of the season has been cancelled due to the daily thundershowers we've been getting this summer! Bummer! Sydney actually took to the sport very well - she was a little confused at first - how to hold a glove, throw the ball, throwing to first base.... But she hits very well and of course they all understand how to RUN! It's funny - after a ball is in play each kids parents are screaming to their child what to do. You hear a melody of

"go to first base" "get the ball" "run home"

"nice hit" "run to third" "go go go go go"

It's crazy! Luckily the kids just tune us out and seem to have fun. The games are 3 innings, each kid gets a turn to bat and then you change sides. The games should really only be 2 innings, by the 3rd all these 4 year olds are OVER IT!

* She is one of the only girls that will actually wear the hat! Such a tomboy! *

* Tapping home plate, yup that is a pink bat! *

* Doing her best to "field" *

* Is her checking her out? *

* She is C-U-T-E! *

Sydney's team is 7 girls and 1 boy! Which is really funny to me because her gymnastics class is 9 boys and 1 girl. Can someone say irony?

I signed her up for gymnastics 10 weeks ago and just extended her for a least 1 more month. We go to The Little Gym in Lone Tree - class name is Giggle Worms. It's been great for Sydney to burn off some energy and learn how to do new things. Her skills are really building and I know she'll be doing back handsprings soon! The teachers are really sweet and the weekly theme has been a fun way for the kids to engage. I don't have many pictures -- sorry.

So that is the latest for now. T ball wraps up next week, I ordered the team trophies and we will have a pizza party for them. Her first trophy, ahhhhhh! Next up soccer!

Driving cars!!

Don't you remember how fun it was to drive the cars at Disney World! T, Sydney, Rebecca and Allie waited the 40 min line in the blazing heat and humidity to give Sydney a taste of life behind the wheel! Check out the most adorable video below:

Taking her brother on a drive. How cute is Jack in the car!?! He looks like a little old man! These are the days that are just the best!!

Bad blogger, bad!

It's been hard to get around to blogging. We've been crazy ridiculous busy - just nuts! It seems like each day I wake up and go 100 mph until my head hits the pillow. Sydney has been involved in T Ball and gymnastics, Jack is growing leaps and bounds and never sits still, we took a 10 day vacation to Florida (pics coming soon) and oh yeah I work full time, as does T and we have our company on the side. See - nuts! So I apologize for not being a better blogger. But there is something else too, lately I've just been feeling "stuck". Nothing is going wrong, per say, but I just feel frustrated - like I'm waiting for things to happen. I hate that feeling. I've always been a go getter, make the news happen type of person. I think I feel this way because we have a problem that is beyond my control. Our car is really getting bad, many repairs are needing to happen that we just can't afford. We are trying to trade it in but the value they are offering is just criminal. So I feel really irritated, frustrated, and confused on what to do. All I want is a safe vehicle to drive the monsters, I mean children, around in. It doesn't have to have all the bells and whistles, although they are fancy now a days! So I think this issue is just really clouding my days. I hope we can work it out soon.

So I promise to get back to blogging on a regular basis. I have loads of FL pictures to share, Sydney is starting school soon and soccer and Jack is full of adventures!! Plus Amber and I will be producing loads of new baby goods.

Hope you find your way back to me....
