Aunt Erica and Uncle Nick

Aren't they the cutest couple ever? We had such a fun week. My sister, Erica and her husband Nick came down to visit. We were sooo sad to see them go. I'm sure they were somewhat glad to leave the chaos here. But, we really miss them!

They are probably enjoying the extra sleep...My kids would ask every 5 minutes in the morning...when can we go wake up Erica and Nick? What can I say? They just love them to pieces.

We did some fun things. Erica took me to the mall & showed me what was in style now. Wow, I needed some help picking out clothes. We also went to the new Mesquite Groves Pool. It was a blast. We want to go again. Mike drove everyone to South Mountain on Friday while I worked. Here are some pictures overlooking Phoenix.

Can't wait to see you guys in a few months!

A Spring Family Picture

Daven 5

Logan 3

Avery 13 months

Go Mariners!

Daven had his first T-Ball game this season on Saturday, March 27th. He is on the Mariner's team. Daddy is his coach. Mike is a great T-ball coach! You can tell he loved baseball growing up. I told Mike that he'll probably get more opportunities to coach. I guess they were in desperate need of one more coach and just started calling through the list. Since our last name starts with "B" I think we were at the top. Mike has had several "I'm just going through the list and came across your name" calls lately. Hopefully it will work to our advantage more in the future. Daven likes having him as coach.

Daven's good friend, Nate is on our team, too. The only downfall....we are not the Boston Red Sox :(. Daddy's favorite team. Maybe next time.

Aunt Erica and Uncle Nick came for the game. We had so much fun with them while they were here. We had to say good-bye after the game was over. My kids love them so much. I don't know what we'll do when they start having kids of their own. Maybe their kids will love me that much. I can only hope!
And what is the best part about playing t-ball? The capri suns after!!! I thought this picture was darling of Daven and Nate.

I took some pics of Daven hitting the ball, but they were too far away. I'll have to use another lens next time. Daven played first base and right field during the game. We have some amazing hitters on our team. We even managed to get a few outs. The boys were very behaved for Mike. I just love watching them in their cute outfits. But, Mike reminds me they are UNIFORMS. Whatever they are called, they are cute, cute, cute. Bring on some more.

My First Pony-Tail

Avery muffin is walking. She cruises pretty fast around this place, too. Last weekend I decided to put a pony-tail in her hair. I don't know what I am doing with her hair yet. I am still learning. But, she looked so cute BOPPING around with a little tail sticking up on top. Love it!

Tid-Bits

Here are some random sayings/happenings that made me smile. The above picture included. Mike must have snapped it & I ran across it while uploading photos tonight.

Conversation #1:

During a family home evening.

Me: "Logan, what is a Mistake?"

Logan: ....thinking.....thinking....."DINNER!"

Happening #1:

Daven noticed the grocery list I started the other day. In his INCONSPICUOUS Kindergarten handwriting, he added LUMUMADE and LEGOS to the list. Oh, if only it were that easy to trick your mom into buying you Legos.

Conversation #2:

In the car..

Logan: "Mom, I'm all done with my drink."

Me: "Put it in your cup holder."

Logan: "I can't. There's HAN TIZER in my HUP COLDER."

I don't know why, but I can't bring myself to correct him . Maybe I just don't want the innocence to end. It's my way of keeping him little. He still says, CHID (kid) and CHOUCH (couch) and GOOTER (scooter). I think I'll keep it that way for a little while.
