Pitching Skills!

In t-ball, the kids do not pitch to each other. They do have a "pitcher" on the mound. The kids pretend to pitch and then the batter swings. These are some pics of Aidan's turn on the mound. He took his role as pitcher very seriously.

Aidan's T-Ball Team

The regular season is over... Aidan's team made it two the second round of games in the tournament, but lost our second game. It was an exciting game - the teams were both playing very well. The game did get called early though due to the storm that rolled through. It was an exciting night for everyone ;)

Here is a pic of the team. We had a great season. The coaches were great and the kids had a lot of fun.



Aidan's "serious" face. And the the one sock showing at the top is driving me crazy. Maybe I shou'dve photoshopped that out first!

Cutie pie!!

This weekend we tried out headbands to control Clara's ever growing mass of curls. It worked out pretty well, but more importantly it was adorable!

Laughing Girls

Clara & Lexi had a blast playing Uno Attack. This went on for ten minutes and would've kept on had I not dragged Clara home for dinner.

Bubbles!

These pictures are from last week. Clara & Lexi emptied three containers of bubbles onto the sidewalk and themselves. They were helping each other rub it into their arms and legs as if it were a bath.

Clara X Game Champion

Clara had a lot of fun tonight on the skateboard. She laid on it on her belly and used her arms to pull herself across the street and over the minuscule "hump" in the middle. Then she'd go "whoa!" on the downhill. Very cute. And scary for mom :)

Tooth # 2

Aidan lost a second tooth. He pulled this one out on his own while playing with Zacky. So, if you are keeping track, that's two teeth lost both at Mr Tony's house :)

I love this picture of Zacky pointing at the missing tooth.

Bubbles? Where are you?

When Clara is looking for something she "calls" it. "Bubbles? Where are you? Bubbles?!"

Clara loves ice!

At a BBQ cook out all Clara wanted to do was eat ice.. and drip it everywhere ... but she was adorable while doing it!

Wearing mommys shoes.

Clara decided to wear my shoes @ Serrano's... she refused to give them back :)

Before and after.

Transformation! Brandon got a haircut!

An Afternoon in Leander

My Aunt from Kansas was in town this weekend. We took a drive out to Leander to visit with her, my uncle and an old family friend - Mrs Marshall. Her property out in Leander is gorgeous this time of year with lots of wildflowers. She has several goats and donkeys. Pop pop took Aidan for a trip out in the pasture to feed the donkeys some carrots. Aidan had a great time but you can tell he's a city boy - he pranced through the tall grass trying to keep it from tickling his legs and once they did get the donkeys attention, he refused to turn his back on it ;) he walked backwards through the pasture all the way back to the gate.

I love the look on Aidan's face in this picture

Some t-ball pics

Clara & Sophia - Monkey Girls

I bought Clara and Sophia some matching PJ's which they happily modeled for us Sunday night. They were super cute posing for these pictures even though it did take five or six tries to get it!

Clara has a little scratch on her nose and decided today that she needed a band-aid (or ban-babe's as she calls them) on her nose. The band-aid actually missed the entire scratch but she still looked pretty darn cute.

The silent treatment

Clara was mad at me for some reason. This is her giving me the silent treatment... she sat like this for five minutes or so. Every now and then she'd shake her head "no" but otherwise she just sat here keeping her back to me.

Clara in a basket

Clara climbed into the empty clothes basket with her blanket. I guess she had no idea what it was since the clothes baskets at my house are NEVER empty :)

Claras day at work

Lunch with Mom and Dad @ Chuy's

Call Daddy

Call anybody else who will answer the phone

Nap on the way home

Brothers

I probably should've been breaking this up instead of taking pictures, but no one was bleeding so I let it go on. Just kidding grandparents! They were goofing for the camera.

Arts and crafts

Aidan made this for me at school. I think it's a votive candle holder...

what happens when...

Brandon: I bet I can get out of these handcuffs no matter how tight you put them on me.

Hm... that didn't work out so well.

Playing with the iPhone

Still experimenting with a new app on my phone...

Ouch.

Aidan had a run in with some ants on his day off yesterday. They have
swollen up so that he looks like he's got cotton in his cheeks.

He's not nearly as miserable as he looks in this picture. It was for
effect.

I'm ready!

Clara was a big help unloading the trailer...
