Baseball Season Starts

Tonight we started baseball again! Well we started a long time ago practicing, today was just the first game of the season. Cash played Second base during this game and is number 11. Here they are with the coach getting a pep talk before the game starts.  He had one really good play and got the runner out at second.

 Palin enjoyed getting to play at the park before the game started. The weather was warm and sunny when we got there, but the time that the game started it was windy and cold. Cash got to bat 3 times and had some really good hits during the game.

While Cash was playing below is what I was messing with, you can just see how sassy she is. She is so independent and her own person. She does not care what anyone thinks!  

Zoo Trip!

Last Friday, I was off work for Good Friday and the kids and I drove to the Dallas Zoo to meet my friend Jill for the day. I did not tell the kids till that morning where we were going and Palin kept asking, are we at the zoo yet?

Cash got to feed and pet the Giraffes. Palin did not want any part of it. We got to the Zoo at 9am when they opened and stayed till almost one when it was starting to get crowded.

Palin liked looking at the animals but did not like getting close to them. She did like taking her picture whenever she would see something that she can stand by and take her picture with.

 The kids had lots of fun and Jill and I enjoyed getting to catch up with each other and spend sometime together. We ended the trip with a ride on the merry go round.

Princess Party

In addition to all the Easter activities that we had going this past weekend, we even squeezed in a Princess party for one of Palin's friends. Chaney was turning 4 and had a princess party. The invite said to wear your favorite tutu to the party.

There were 4 little girls there and they had fun playing outside and being girls.

More Easter Fun

We colored Easter eggs on Friday night or tried to I should say. The kids had fun but I think that the color tabs were old and they did not color very good like they typically do.

They were each proud of their dozen eggs that they got to complete and set out for the Easter bunny to hide on Saturday night. 

The next morning was Saturday and we headed to our church Easter Egg hunt. I tried to get a picture of the kids before we left and this is what I got. Both of them very seldom ever look at the camera together. As you can see here is a perfect example of that in these pictures.

These are all 3 Cash's from our church. Two of them are in 1st grade and the other is in Kindergarten. Crazy how there can be 3 in one church. Ours is the oldest so we say that they copied us!

The kids were excited to get home and go through their eggs when we got home from the egg hunt.

       

Last picture from Easter weekend to post. This is our family one that we took with my camera with the timer that morning before we left for church.

Easter At the Farm

After we got home from church we changed clothes and headed out to the Farm to Easter dinner and play for the afternoon. We had a great lunch that Toby's parents fixed. Ham, potoatoes, mac and Cheese, rolls, cake and pie!

The kids are starting to get a little better with posing for pictures, Its still hit or miss if they will pose for you or not. But at least today on Easter they were.

After lunch the kids got their Easter baskets from Jon and Lois, and what better to have in them than water guns. The spent a little while chasing each other and Oma around the yard with their water guns. Palin likes squirting them, but does not like to get squirted herself!

We had a great time and spent the afternoon, riding the 4wheeler, and play baseball with everyone. It started raining right around supper time, so we were thankful that it held off till we got were ready to leave.

Dressed Up Easter Pictures

We got all dressed up on Easter morning for Church. Palin was excited to curl her hair and get all dressed up in her purple shoes that she picked out the day before and her gloves. Cash was less excited to be in a button down shirt. You would have thought htat it was the end of the world.

She is sassy, and kept telling Toby, "Daddy I look pretty"

She loved giving Toby kisses and kept trying to give Cash kisses, and he wanted nothing of it! I love this picture, she was trying so hard and being so sweet, and Cash kept blocking her.

There were some bluebonnets on the way home from church that we pulled off and took pictures in. The sun was in their eyes but at least we got some.

School Easter Egg Hunt

Wednesday was Cash's Easter Egg hunt at school.  I took a late lunch that day so I could attend. They had a lot of fun and even had sack races at it. They had hopping and skipping races at it too. 

 They had fun trying to find their eggs. All the eggs were numbered and each kid was assigned a number and they could only get the eggs with their numbers on them. It took longer than you think to find all the eggs!

We had not gotten the kids together to take a class picture at a party yet, so we made sure that we snapped on today.
