flashback friday

Since Jordan started t-ball we have gotten quite a few comments about

how well he plays and understands the game.  

His coach even wanted to move him up to the next grade level.  

We always tell people Josh has been playing sports

with him since he could hold a ball. 

I came across these cute videos of him at 3 1/2 learning to hit bombs!

Spring days

We have been having amazing weather here.

It has been like summer the past week with 

temps reaching into the 80's.

It looks like it will leave us for a few days here over 

the weekend with promise to return.

I really hope so. I love the sun.

I am more happy, more motivated to get moving,

I want to eat green smoothies and salads

and I just love being able to be outside with the kids.

Here is what are sunny spring days have looked like in the past week!

We have enjoyed t-ball games, celebrating my mom's birthday,

ice cream, playing at the creek, picnic dinner outside,

play dates at the park, evening bike rides,

mowing the lawn, alley basketball games, shorts and short sleeved shirts,

having all the windows and doors open,

and staying outside until the last second before bed time.

Here are my favorites from a mini photo shoot 

I did with my kids and their cousins.

I can't believe it has been a year and half since we done this.
As soon as Ezra arrives next month we will be doing this again!
