Well today is the 3rd week of t-ball and I am just now putting up some pictures of Ethan and Ben’s first practice! Actually I am slipping and I only took a few pictures so far that first day. My friend is really showing me up with her son’s t-ball coverage but I’ll be sure [...]
Baseball injury season started early for us Wednesday morning when Ethan and Ben decided to play catch before school. I let them play catch in the house with a squishy baseball but Ben couldn’t find it and he threw Ethan a real hardball, and it didn’t land in Ethan’s glove. I had Ethan ice it [...]
Ethan’s hockey season was extended one week and this morning was the last practice. Pretty light turnout since the weather wasn’t so great and after adjusting for last night’s time change our 8:15 practice felt like a 7:15am (I’m just glad we didn’t have the 7am slot!) The coaches didn’t partition the ice so the [...]
Ethan really surprised us with how quickly he took to basketball. He has loved all the sports he has tried but I feared basketball would be too hard for a 5 yr old. I was so glad he had a great coach who made learning the game simple and enjoyable. I’m so proud of how [...]
We’re taking the day off from blogging tomorrow in honor of Super Bowl XLII!
I was thinking more about our family Super Bowl party tomorrow and I decided to look for some superbowl crafts/activities we could do during the game. We can’t just eat the whole time! Here are some links I found: Print some football player paper dolls to color (I’m going to print them on cardstock) Here [...]
The boys are so into anything to do with sports and even though I’m not personally a football fan, I’m excited for them and for the little super bowl party we have planned. The “party” will just be me, John and our 3 kids but we’re all looking forward to it. Here is what I’m [...]
Ethan started his first season of basketball a couple weeks ago, playing in our town’s league. I was nervous that he would be really shy again, but I should have known better. Ethan absolutely loved it! After all, it’s just a bunch of kids in a gym playing ball. Several of the kids he already [...]
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…kids amaze me. Last season we were the expansion team in the hockey league. Almost all the kids were first time skaters. This season almost the entire team is back and the difference is astounding. Even the new skaters, like Ben, are doing great only 2 months [...]
I’m having trouble getting good pictures of hockey. I thought my new camera would be the answer but I need to learn more about the camera and maybe get a big flash? The rink is not lit enough for good pictures and I feel like a bad guy using the flash all the time. The [...]
