Yes we are alive!

I know, I know it has been a long time. The truth is...I just didn't feel like blogging. Then the camera was non-functioning...etc. I was wondering whether I should even blog again or just drop it. Let's be honest...only two people besides the grandparents have asked for a blog post in five months.

Well the good news is...the camera is fixed, and I decided to blog again. I'm not going to go back and play catch up. If I decide to post something about the past I will. No guarantees how often I'll update, but for the grandparents sake...I'll try!

Of course no post is complete without a photo. Here's one of London and Hailey eating breakfast this morning. Man my kids have grown up.

T-Ball

Today Carson played his last T-Ball game of the season. What a difference from last season! Carson has really improved both in how well he plays and his maturity level on the field (translate that into far less throwing the glove in the air, digging in the dirt, spinning in circles...). He really seems to understand his responsibility at each position and the general rules of baseball now. This was evident a couple of games ago when he was thoroughly confused as to why the kid he tagged out would not go sit down in the dugout!

There are a few people who are probably not terribly sad to get a break from T-Ball until Spring - that Team Mom had her hands full! (Love you honey...thanks for 'stepping up to the plate')

Fun little clip from his the game today:

Mmmmm.... frosting!

We have carried on the tradition of placing a cake/cupcake in front of our kids on their 1st birthday and seeing how they react. For the only child that nursed right up to the 12-month mark, London sure seems to know how to take down a bit of Rainbow Chip cake covered in sugary goodness.

Home cleaning

If only Carson would keep the gameroom as clean as home plate!

Ballet

Last week Hailey had her first day of Ballet! Of course I had to take pictures before we could go!

Of course she wanted the pink leotard and skirt...is there really any other color? ;)

Showing me some ballet moves before she goes to her class.

I peeked into class just a few minutes before it was over.

Here she is getting her sticker for dancing that day! It's so cute, they have to do a curtsy before they can get their sticker!

First Day of School

I'm late posting, but I had to show the grandparents the adorable back to school photos! Carson was really excited about his new school. He is doing pre-k at the WLC. Hailey is doing Mother Goose Time with some friends. (I teach next week, yay!)

Two stinking cute kiddos!

Walking out the door to get in the car. Hurry mom!

"YES! Finally I get to go to school this year!"

I think her backpack is almost bigger than her!

Carson, doesn't look quite as small as he did last time I took school pictures. My little boy's growing up!

Backpack station? Check. Awesome folder? Check. Smile? Check.

Carson with Miss Karri & Miss Jennifer. (There are five teachers for the high flyers class.)
