Gymnastics

I little bit ago we missed our normal gymnastics time and went to a Saturday gymnastics.  The girls loved it since there were less kids and they pretty much had the run of the gym!  They are both getting better at their cartwheels and hand stands too.  Here are some pictures...

Then another day we were hunting a yard sale and outside of it they were trying to find homes for these cute puppies.  The girls really wanted to take one home but we resisted.

First T ball game

Rylee's first T ball game was this weekend.  I was a little nervous about how she would do since she's been spending the majority of her time either playing in the dirt or throwing dirt or grass in our neighbor Nate's hair, who is also on the team.  Rylee actually did very well and only had to be reminded a handful of times (just like all the other kids) to pay attention.  Here are some pictures from the game.  It was very cold so we all had to bundle up!


a little pre-game stretching..


The Tigers!  (there were 2 kids not there Nate and Kashyah...but here they are!  Cornell, Gabriel, Coen, William, Coleson, Breanna, Brydon, Rylee and Miranda)

I have to pitch to all the kids...this is my concentrating hard face...

oops a little behind the ball...


what a good swing!


shaking hands at the end of the game


and Rylee and the coach!

Birthday Party

This year we decided that the girls and their friends had out-grown our house.  It was time to finally have our first party at somewhere other than at home.  The girls wanted a party at a local gym so it was set!  While my girls still don't mind, we are continuing to do a joint party since their birthdays are so close.  We had 10 kids plus 2 babies total there and everyone had a blast!  There was a couple of blow up slides, a small trampoline, a foam pit plus LOTS of room to run!  My camera is messing up so a lot of the pictures are blurry but here are a few of the ones that I got...

Such good cousins

The girls just love baby Griffin!  They really love everything about him, but they really love just holding him.  Here are a few pictures of the girls holding him...

T Ball

This year Rylee really wanted to try playing t ball.  We've been practicing in the yard (when the weather cooperates) and we went a couple of times to practice on the field that she would be playing at.  The kids were all supposed to try out for the teams but Rylee ended up being sick with a stomach bug on the day of try outs and I volunteered to coach because they didn't have enough coaches otherwise so she didn't end up trying out.  Rylee still has some work to do but she does pretty well for it to be her first time playing.  The kids get a chance to hit from a coach pitching for 3 pitches then if they still don't hit it get to try off the tee.  I'll try to get someone to take some pictures at her next practice.  Here are a few from the other day....





And of course Makenzie wanted to try since her sister was...
