Reminiscing....

I was looking through some blog posts from young Alex the other night, and this game was such a favorite.  We tried to recreate it tonight....still funny, but probably the last time it'll happen without an ER visit.

Cheetos

Tonight Zach enjoyed his Cheetos using all 5 senses.

First Day of Preschool!

Today was Alex's 1st Day of Preschool.  He was pretty quiet when I picked him up, but very talkative on the way home.  His favorite part was the blueberry muffins and building tall towers to knock over with the " 'strucksion stuff".

He wanted me to take a picture of his backpack, too.  He thought I was crazy for wanting to take a picture of his face.

When I went to leave, I kissed him on the head and said, "i love you".  Be looked at ne, said, "dont say that.  You can leave now." Then gave me a hug and ran off.

So glad it went well, instead of him crying and not wanting to go.  Great day!

State Fair!

The boys had their first ever bus rides today as we went to the Nebraska State Fair!

Our new car!

Here it is....our Chevy Cruze!

Crazy Alex!

In the spirit of being able to dress himself, Alex is now being silly!!

Day at the park!

Today we drove the new car to Loup City and enjoyed the beautiful day by playing at the park!  GREAT day!

Cars!!!!

Can you guess what we are doing today?????

Zach and Abby

Reading a book with Daddy.  Good times.

Swimming!

For Father's Day, we spent the day at home.  Andy and the boys had a great time swimming!

Falling...that's funny.

Closing VBS program

Alex participated in VBS this year! It took some convincing, but he enjoyed going with his class. I helped with the snacks, so we all went all went every day. They had 'babysitting', but Zach just seemed to follow me around. Next year Zach can have a class too.

Here's a shot of Alex with some of his friends, Clare and Belle.

Zach at the game!

... needless to say, he was less than interested.

Alex's First T-Ball Game!

Well, I think I *finally* have this all here - - and right! :)

Alex had his first t-ball game Monday night.  They have 14-16 kiddos on a team, all between the ages of 4 and 8.  There are 5 teams, and they all play against each other - so we don't have to travel to other towns just yet. :)

They play two full innings (three if there's time), and everyone bats and runs every inning.  Everyone also plays the field (hence the reason Alex is one of 6 "pitchers" in one of the pictures).  It was quite the experience.....laughing silly at some of the antics of these little folks, and also a little bit of bittersweet....as I realize that my little boy isn't quite so little anymore.  

Anyway, on to the videos:

He has at least two more games left (there is a coach from North Loup trying to get her team up here, so one more game may be possible).
