Getting ready for T-Ball

Grace's first t-ball game is Saturday. She's been practicing her throwing and catching, and now batting. Rich bought her a tee and a bat today, so she's been a-swingin' all morning! She's a determined little thing, that's for sure!

Grace's Mother's Day gifts

In preschool Grace made me 2 Mother's Day gifts. The first is a marigold plant in a laundry scoop that looks like a wheelbarrow. Last years marigold grew to be about 4 ft tall, so we'll see if we can outdo that this year! The other gift was a page about mom. She drew a picture of me, then answered a few questions. Good to see I'm only 30!

Gracie's preschool program today

Gracie's preschool class had their Mother Goose program today, they sang and performed some nursery rhymes. Grace got to play the wood block and stick...she was the Tick Tock noise in Hickory Dickory Dock :). So cute!

Tyler's award

There was a program at Tyler's school today for the kids that got the Presidential Award for academics (3.5 gpa or higher). And Tyler got one! We're very proud of him, he's a great kid and does very well in school. And the certificates even had GW's signature on them...bonus! Here he is at school and afterwards with his award.

Yay spring!

The trees and flowers are in bloom, I'm so excited! The pretty trees that line First Street are all blooming now, it's really beautiful! I'm not sure what kind of trees these are (I think some kind of pear?), but they go a ways down the street.

Matt's music concert

Matt had his singing concert last night, and boy was he thrilled (See first pic)! His eyes are still bothering him, so he spent most of the time rubbing them. They sang well...the band also performed and aside from some, um, screechiness did ok too. Joel, there is a picture of little Garrett there just for you...he was behind the humongous bass drum, too cute!

What a beautiful day!

We had such a nice day today...74, sunny and a bit breezy. Grace and I played outside this afternoon for awhile. Matt stayed home from school because his eyes were still really sore and itchy...I think he has some allergies because going outside makes it worse. Here are a couple of pics of Grace today...one with our neighbors tulips and one doing a cartwheel, she's getting good! I tried one and about killed myself.
