Cal Ripken Baseball - Go Red Sox!

Ready at first base....
First at bat.
Yes, he's posing.
Opening ceremonies.....

Opening day for Cal Ripken was cold and wonderful. We had our chairs, brought Gatorade for the team and had a bag full of coloring books for Kennedy to be entertained for 2 hours. Hayden did a great job playing his first real baseball game. He was walked and he struck out once... but at least he struck out swinging. They ended up winning, 17-0! Woo hoo! Go Sox! Hayden's loving it, as is Bryan! It was his (and still is) his favorite sport! I think our little guy is following in daddy's footsteps.

Easter Weekend

The University of Idaho always puts on a good Easter Egg hunt. I love it! First of all, it's heading up to my alma mater and let the kids run around on the Administration lawn. Bry pairs up with Hayden and I go with Miss Kennedy. This year both kids moved up in their age brackets... more competition! LOL! I told Kennedy we'll run out to where the eggs are and pick up as much as she can! Lo and behold, Kennedy got the golden egg!!!!! WOO HOO!!!! She turned it in and got to pick two gifts of whatever she wanted. She scored two Webkinz - one for her and one for Hayden. It was perfect. We then celebrated Easter dinner at home after we went to church....it was a nice relaxing weekend had by all.

Hayden's 8.

Hayden's 8th birthday was a true hit. We had his friend party on a Friday night and his family party the following Sunday. It was perfect. He was all smiles and as you can see, he chose to do Star Wars Legos as his theme. That's a tough one to come by when finding party favors, so we made our own and they were FANTASTIC if I do say so myself. I can't believe my little boy is 8. His favorites include: Wii, baseball, Star Wars Legos, Mariners, UI Vandals, Green Bay Packers, Popcorn and thankfully he still loves cuddling up with me in the morning or whenever I ask him to. I love him and so thankful he's mine. Happy Birthday, Buddy.
