T-ball has begun!

We are pretty excited because this year Jack is old enough to play t-ball. Rob grew up playing ball so he has been waiting for this day for a really long time. Growing up, I enjoyed watching my youngest sister play baseball and then move on to softball. I couldn't wait to have a little boy that could play.
Jack's team are the Cubs and he has a few friends that are on his team so that has been lots of fun. We had our first practice the beginning of last month and Jack was so excited. We had been practicing some at home. Rob had surprised him with his very own glove and bat and also gave him his own baseball bag which he loves!!

Jack had his first game last night and he had a blast! He loved putting on his uniform. They introduced all the players and then the game began. Each team got to hit twice, and now in t-ball the coach throws 3 pitches and if you can't hit it they bring out the tee for the kids to hit the ball. It was all pretty funny watching all of our kids play. Some were playing in the dirt, some were staring into space, some were kicking the dirt and at times they would all run for the ball.

even sister had a good time!

So excited about this season and the season's to come. I am hoping Jack loves it and will continue to play through the years. Let the busyness of our lives begin!!

Alice turns 2!!

Alice turned TWO on Tuesday March 8th! We had a small family party at our house on Saturday March 5th. Rob's dad, my dad, my sisters, my brother-in-law and niece and nephews came to celebrate. The kids had a great time and it was so easy, I really didn't do any party decorating except a few balloons and it was wonderful. The kids played outside in the jumpy house for a while and then came in to enjoy some chick-fil-a and cupcakes.

As soon as I lit the candle on Alice's cupcake and we started singing Happy Birthday, Alice just stared, she wasn't sure what to think...haha.

I had planned on having her birthday party with her friends at school on her actual birthday, but my kids got the stomach bug over the weekend. Jack had it Thursday night into Friday morning and Alice got it Sunday night. She still wasn't feeling her best on that Tuesday so we postponed her school party until Wednesday March 9th. I am so glad I did bc on that Wednesday my baby girl was feeling so much better. Alice's birthday theme this year was hot air balloons. I got some delicious cupcakes made and some super cute cookies, we also had chips and cheese and that was it. This was one of the easiest less stressful parties I have ever done. It was great and all the kids loved it. When I went to the school to set up for her party, I went to get them from their classroom and she was running down the hall screaming "my party, my party".  She was so excited!!!

I really can't believe my baby girl is two. Time has really flown by with her and I guess that is just because instead of just having one child to focus on, I have two. She is talking all the time now and putting together sentances pretty well. I feel like she has grown up faster than Jack because she is always trying to keep up with what he is doing. Anything he does, she wants to do. She loves her brother so much! She is sweet most of the time but definitely has an attitude! She loves all things girly, like make-up, jewelry, baby dolls but she also loves to get dirty. Baby girl, you have completed our little family. I love watching you and your brother grow and I am so excited about all the adventures with both of you in the years to come!!
