Four Year Old Friday

In January we signed Max up for t-ball. To say he is excited is an understatement!! The best part is he will be playing with his best buddies from school Brody and Jacob. All the dads are coaching, so that will be extra fun! A few weeks ago we had "tryouts". Basically they had to see what the kids knew about baseball and placed them on teams. The first night was THE coldest night we've had in Florida this winter. Which really isn't that cold but I could have done without the wind. It was so neat to see the boys SO excited. They have had practice two nights a week, which kind of stinks because they are the same nights Emma has ballet and Religious Ed. so I haven't seen any of the practices. Since they change days, I'm hoping to make it to next Thursday's practice. The first game of the season is next Saturday. Our family and friends are excited to see our little athlete in action!

Cute kiddos!!

Daddy and Max

They were asking him "Where's second base?" Love that he's pointing with his glove!

Hitting the ball!

Max's other love is still Legos! He could play with them all day long! He sleeps with his legos and is always building something. He loves the minifigures and is constantly taking them apart and putting them back together. The pieces are so tiny but he manages them all and acts out all kinds of scenes with those lego guys. He has them in his Playmobil knight castle right now. His favorite are the ninjas.

Love that concentration!!

He loves those legos!

Who is this big kid??!!




Emma and I are off school today for Rodeo Day and I kept Max home too! Yeehaw! I am so excited to have a three day weekend and be with my kiddos all day! I think we are going to stay in our jammies all morning, then have lunch with Damian at the golf course and maybe take a little trip to Lakeland to Target and Hobby Lobby. We have a pretty relaxing weekend planned and Damian doesn't have to work...Yay!! We are celebrating sweet Benjamin's 1st birthday on Sunday!! We can't wait!

I'm hoping the rain stays away so we can spend some time tomorrow outside! I also have a girl's night out tomorrow going to dinner and a movie with a few friends! I'm excited about some girl time!

Happy Friday!!

Happy Valentine's Day

I was looking through pics on my computer and found these of my little sweeties from 2008. I just love these two!! Seems like yesterday they were this small! They are still just as sweet as ever! They loved their goodies from Damian & I and of course had a blast at their class parties today! Damian and I celebrated on Sunday with dinner at one of our favs Yamato. Last night we had dinner and gave the kids their valentine treats.Emma had ballet and Max had t-ball practice tonight! It's been a busy week already. We are looking forward to having Friday off school for Rodeo Day!

oh my goodness, the cuteness!

Seven Year Old Saturday

When I realized it's been almost a month since I last posted any pictures, I figured I better put some on here so I don't get too far behind. It's seems January just flew on by for my family. I've taken hundreds of pics of the kids, birthday parties, and my newest nephew's baptism but have yet to share!

I thought we'd get back in the swing of things with pics of my beautiful seven year old! She really is such a joy to her daddy and I! She just got her report card last week and we couldn't be prouder of her all O's(outstandings) which is not an easy feat in her advanced/enrichment first grade class! She has been working so hard and is doing so well! She is still going to Daisy Scouts, ballet, and Religious Ed. She's keeping this Mom's taxi very busy! She absolutely loves all of her cousins and loves holding and loving on her newest baby Lucas! She loves to play with her barbies, play her guitar, ride her scooter and bike, and even plays ninja with her little brother. She loves to wear dangly earring, lip gloss, and have her nails painted. She is starting to care about what she wears and picking out her outfits...oh my! I don't think Damian and I are ready for that yet! She actually wanted to try on a shirt in a dressing room last week to make sure it fit! We just went a couple of weeks ago to get pedicures and that girl loves getting her nails and toes done! She is definitely my girly girl!! She still loves to read and is reading chapter books and asking all kinds of questions! Although our hour commute in the morning isn't always fun and the drive can be a pain, I enjoy that time I get to spend with Emma. It's so nice to talk with her, make up silly games, sing songs, and just be together. While I miss the days where she relied on me for everything, I am enjoying this independent seven year old so much!!

We're looking forward to a nice, relaxing weekend. We're heading out to Target and to run a few other errands, then to Chuck E. Cheese with some friends. I'm hoping to sneak in a date with Damian since tomorrow is the 13th anniversary of our first date & the 11th anniversary of our engagement! Where have the years gone?!!

Happy Saturday!!
