A Few March Randoms

First picture is Brady playing with Major before he goes to school.  Here, Brady is getting Major's toes and saying, "This little piggy went to the market..."
 Bill has joined an adult softball league for this spring.  He has been doing an awesome job.  He is lead off batter and playing short stop.
 Major getting his first ice cream cone all to himself!

Brady's Pre-School Spring Performance

Brady's pre-school spring performance had a garden theme.  Each class was something different in the garden...flowers...weeds...vegetables.  It was very cute.  Brady's class were the farmers.  They all had on white t-shirts and jeans.  Brady was front and center.  I love that sweet smiling face!





Baseball Opening Day - March 2

Here in Sugar Land, baseball opening day is celebrated with the kids dressing up in their uniforms, marching in a parade, having a first pitch ceremony, and getting their team pictures taken.  Brady was super excited to get to participate this year.  Here he is in his Braves uniform.
Eli as a member of the A's.

Eli and Brady in the front yard before the big parade.
Each team also makes a banner to march behind.  Here is Eli with his team's banner.
Brady with his Braves pennant and team banner.

Major and Daddy watching the festivities.

 

 Brady was given #2 like Derek Jeter who plays for the Yankees, and Eli got to choose his number.  He chose 40 since that was his dad's number. :)
 It was quite chilly that March morning.  They shared my jacket to help keep themselves warm.

 Brady's team: Brady is on the bottom row, last one on the right.
Now it's time to play ball!

Baseball Practice

Right from basketball into baseball!  But this season is special, it is Brady's first time to play baseball!  Well, t-ball.  But he is absolutely loving it.  He's had a few weeks of practices, and he smiles the entire time! Seriously, the entire time he is out on the field he is smiling.  He looks like he's never been happier.
 First time at the tee for t-ball.  And it wouldn't be a Brady picture unless his tongue was sticking out while concentrating.
 Daddy coaching Brady at short stop
 Brady and Major playing while Eli is at practice.
 Look at that great throw to first base!
Dear Eli, I'm sorry I wasn't able to get pictures of you while you were at practice.  But don't worry, I will most definitely get pictures of you in a game!

Playing at Home

Oh, the fun we have at home!

Valentine's Day

Bill was in Dallas for Valentine's Day, so I got to spend it with my 3 special little guys!
 First, I was blessed to attend Brady's Valentine's Day Party with his pre-k class.  Here he is singing the Batman song for the parents.
 And handing out valentine's to all his friends.
The whole pre-k 4 class: Kate Gowens, Skylar, MacKenzie, Kadence, Myles, Lincoln, Lucas, Brady, Christian, Max, Zach, Emerson

 Our yearly picture with our heart cake: Brady, Eli, and Major
 Our 2nd annual Valentine's Day scavenger hunt!  I wrote out 5 clues and had treats hidden in each spot.  Here are the boys reading clue #1.
 Oops!  Heart picture out of order, and Major wanting his cake NOW!!!
The first treat was hiding in the laundry basket.
 The next treat was in the pantry.
 What was Major doing during the scavenger hunt?  Being a crazy baby, running around and yelling and having a great time.  This picture pretty much sums it up.

 

 Here are all the treats at the end of the hunt!

 Now they get to enjoy their treats.
 And I got flowers from my love.
Happy Valentine's Day my sweethearts!
