February/March

Big Boys turn 6!!  We partied their actual birthday weekend with Grandma Sue, JenJen, Tyler and Emma Kate...including meals at Sumo and Golden Corral.....ha!  I love the variety! The following weekend we had their party and Granny and Gramp were here.  It was a week long birthday celebration!  We had a Star Wars theme and a Chuck E. Cheese party.  Yes, I gave in to the monster of Chuck E. Cheese.  Lord help me....I've done it and it's over.....FOREVER.  I think everyone in the Birmingham Area was in the building that day!!  Thanks to my friend Monica, for always going the extra mile, including like 14 stops at 14 different stores to make their cake perfect!

The awesome cake.  It tastes as good as it looks too!!

Baseball started and we are part of the LA Dodgers, McCalla Rookie league style.  Coach Guy, our neighbor and friend is our coach this year and the boys are excited to be on the same team as their main man Wyatt.

We started March with a quick trip to Medina to welcome Uncle Troy home from his deployment.  The boys loved seeing him and we're relieved to have him home safely!

Traveled to the beach for Spring Break with Brad's family.  I drove down with all three boys on Monday and met up with Bebe and Pop.  Brad, Leah and Kerrigan joined us Wednesday night....we missed Guncle, who was busy working:(  We had a good time.  It rained some, but that left some time for shopping and arcade games!  The highlight for the boys was eating at Fudpuckers, twice, and feeding the alligators!  It was an interesting ride back...Reece crying/screaming non-stop....I tell twins to "act" asleep so that maybe Reece will buy in.....twins fall asleep, Reece still screaming.  I try to wait it out....after 30 minutes, I try waking the twins up....no dice.  Finally grab a box of Lucky Charms and start hitting Parker on the leg with it to wake him up while yelling trying to get them to wake back up.  Finally get Parker awake enough to pass the box to Carson in the back, who proceeds to give Reece one Lucky Charm at a time until we can get to the interstate and stop to let wild man free!!!

March 26th was the STAR student lunch for Carson.  He was chosen as STAR student for showing Kindness.  Daddy and Pop came to school to eat lunch with him.  Pop filled in for Mommy because I had a super important meeting that day that could not be avoided.  In case I didn't document it eariler, because I probably didn't, Parker was chosen as STAR student in September for Obedience.  Yes, you read that right;)

March 28th- Our first Dodgers game.  Parker played 3rd base, Carson played Centerfield. Both boys got one hit.  Their incentive was a week "free shoe tie pass"!  Ha!  The funny of the day was that Carson asked to use the bathroom during the game.  I told him to go, but to hurry.  About 15 minutes later, he comes back holding his stuff saying he has to go again.  I asked him what happened 15 minutes ago and he told me that he only washed his hands!!!  What!!?!?!?!  Is baseball so bad that you would rather hide in the bathroom???  I told him he had to wait.  His next time up, he was headed to the plate crying.  I stopped him and told him that if he could get a hit, I would let him use it again....anndnnnnnnd, double up the middle!  Ha!!  Now that's some motivation!!  We lost 10-3, but the kiddos all had fun....hopefully we'll hit a little better next time!

This boy wants out on the field too!
