Orioles 2015

The Orioles are also back!  With a season of kid-pitch under his belt, Stetson is ready to go this Spring.

#11 got to pitch and he did pretty well!

The boy has a heck of an arm.

But my favorite position to watch him play is catcher.  I know he's my kid, but seriously, the kid is a natural at this position!

Lookin' good behind the plate # 11!

He's like a brick wall!  The catcher's mitt Aunt Mo gave him is getting quite the workout as well!

Here's to many more games watching my favorite baseball player do his thing!

Sparklers 2015

Cassidy and the Sparklers are back for Spring 2015!  Now that she has a season under her belt, we are excited to watch her play soccer this time.

It's amazing what a little experience can do!

G-O-A-L!!

She is still little, but fierce.

Great footwork #5!

She also likes to wear neon cleats like her big brother, which helps Mom and Dad.

Just chillaxin' at the soccer fields during halftime.

We are off to a great start!

It's Spring Sports Time!

Here we go again!  It's time to cheer for our favorite athletes!

First up...#11 for the Baltimore Orioles!

 And #5 for the Sparklers!

Here's to a great Spring of sports!!

Celebrate the Arts

We are so proud that Stetson's artwork was chosen to be in the district wide art fair.  All the artwork was on display at the high school, so we went to see it.

Once we found the third grade section, we found it!

Very abstract, Stetson!  Great job!

Of all the third graders in the district, this was the only section with their artwork.  We are so happy that he was one of a few.

Keep up the great work, Big Guy!

Happy Birthday, Mama Bear!

Even though Mama Bear's birthday was on February 27th, we didn't get to celebrate with her until today.  We invited her over for the meal of her choice (steak and shrimp) and cake!

While we were cooking, Mama Bear got to spend time with the kids.  Stetson read some of his Harry Potter book to her since they both have a love for this series.

 The kids also got to lick the beaters as I finished up the birthday dessert.

 Yum!

 We had a fabulous meal and then it was time to party!

 Mama Bear received gifts and homemade cards.

 As well as strawberry shortcake for dessert!!

 Happy Birthday!!  May all your birthday wishes come true!

Hey, Good Lookin'...

Whatcha got cookin'???

 It doesn't matter what they're cooking because they are too cute!  I'll eat whatever it is!

Snow Day - Part Two

This winter storm brought real snow rather than ice.  Four inches to be exact!  The kids were so excited to have another snow day right before Spring Break!

While I stayed inside where it was warm, J and Aaron took on all the neighborhood kids in a snowball fight.

 I'm pretty sure the adults were having more fun than the kids.

 Then again, I'm not sure.  The kids had a blast!

These are the best kind of snow days...the ones where you can stay outside most of the day and play. I did eventually venture outside and enjoy the day as well.

Gettin' Down with Mama Goose

Tonight was Cassidy's first school performance, Gettin' Down wit Mama Goose. It was only three short years ago that we were attending the same Kindergarten program for Stetson.  My goodness, where has the time gone?

Here is our cute old-fashioned performer!

 This one LOVES to perform!  Can you tell?

We have video of her speaking part too, but it won't cooperate.  So, you'll just have to take my word that she is a great little speaker.
