First Baseball Practice 2013

The boys had their first baseball practice of the season! This was Matthew's very first practice and he LOVED it! He cracks me up because he is so much smaller compared to all the other players and he tries so hard to keep up with them! He does a great job too! We are looking forward to the start of the game season! Go Cardinals!!

so excited!!!

We spent a chilly day at the lake a few weeks ago and loved it despite the cold temps.  We took bread and fed the seagulls and ducks! The kids love it and so do I!!

Snow!!!

We got a little and I mean a little snow a couple of weeks ago. It was gone as quickly as it came but little Matty was still so incredibly excited about it!

Hiking

The kids and I went hiking with Aunt Bri a few weeks ago! We all had a blast. We went over to Radnor during the week for a nature hike and no one was there. It was so peacful and the wildlife were out like crazy. We were able to get so close to a family of deer.  It was definitely the closest we had ever been.  The kids LOVED it!! Fun times ;)
