Hiking Day with the Daisy's

On Saturday, February 21st Allyse's Daisy Troop took a trip to the Girl Scout facility for a "Princess Day". There were crafts set up for us at stations. We played games and took a little hike. It was a wonderful day! at the end of the day we let the girls roll down the hill...and Allyse said that was they best part of the day!

Camillia's

My little Camellia plant finally bloomed this year. A few months back my children were into picking acorns and one afternoon they came running in the house excited that they had found a bunch of acorns...well...when Mike looked in the bucket...they were not acorns..they were the buds on the Camilla plant. It's funny, because only the back is blooming because the kids picked most of the buds from the front.

SCRAPPERS ~ 9U KID PITCH

As everyone knows...Jacob has been playing baseball since he was 4 years old. This year he has finally made it to Kid ~ Pitch. Since we have moved to Texas we have been on the same team for 5 seasons now. Three regular seasons and two summer seasons...all of them being Coach Pitch. For the most part, our team has stayed together with a couple of kids leaving and new ones coming in. Sunday was Jacob's first game of the season and we happen to have a double header that day. We spent 8 hours at the ball park on Sunday...what a way to bring on the new season. We have a wonderful support staff of dads. The moms and I laughed on Sunday because there are almost as many dads helping out then there are boys! I was able to snap a couple of pictures before my battery died.

Jacob played 3rd base and Catcher on Sunday. He LOVES playing Catcher and is so cute in his catcher gear. The past four seasons the uniforms have been navy blue and gray...and our wonderful coach decided that this year they were going to be white! Yes...I said WHITE! They do look sharp in their little uniforms...I just hope they play as well as they look :).

Allyse's new Haircut

Here are a few pics of Allyse's hair since we cut it shorter! We cut about 3 1/2 inches off!

Here are a few pics of Jacob's Pinewood Derby Race!

Catching Up

It seems for whatever reason that I just can't get inspired to blog....so much has been going on so I will just make this quick and easy!

• Jacob celebrated his "9th" Birthday on January 21st. He had is party at a skating rink and had lots of fun. I do have pics and once I load them to the computer I will post them.
• This household had been sick since Christmas and it hasn't seemed to stop. We ALL had sinus infections and I was lucky to have 2! Allyse caught the flu last Sunday and has battled with it all week. We all took the flu shot, but for some reason Allyse caught it...they said it was a different strand. The flu is definitely going around our school...so I hope Jacob doesn't get it.
• Allyse wanted her hair short so I took her to my stylist and she cut 3 1/2 inches off and Allyse looks adorable! It is so easy and much thicker now. I will also post pics of that soon.
• Jacob had his Derby Car race for Cub Scouts this past Saturday and came in third place...unfortunately Allyse and I didn't get to go because I wanted Allyse to stay home and get rest.

I think that is all for now! Please pray that none of us get sick again :)
