Thus Begins the “Age of Sports”

Yes, our little baby is growing up. Time flies and now Kyle is learning to catch flies. Fly balls that is. It’s t-ball time! Not quite up to the whole “fast pitch” type of thing, but hey…he’s only three. You’ve got to start somewhere.

For his second practice, he was joined by his cousin, Nate. Both boys had fun and Nate really seemed to get into it. So now Jaime is working on trying to get him on the team. Let’s hope it works out. The boys have so much fun together

The Peanut Gallery

The other day, I posted some pictures of Kyle at his swim lessons. You may have been wondering what Kaitlyn was doing during that time. Well, fortunately, Mommy had her camera ready and got a couple shots of her while they were sitting together behind the glass, watching her brother.

We only have a couple shots of her, but the ones we did get are quite adorable. Therefore, we’re sharing those with you all today. Enjoy the pictures…

Swim Lessons

Well, we’re already getting to that time of year that we need to start thinking about pools and swimming. That means swim lessons (safety first, don’t ya know). Kyle did really well and, I think, had a pretty good time.

This was a bit different from what we had seen at the pool in Anthem. It was an indoor pool (still not quite warm enough for outdoor swimming yet…it’s only March after all) and all the parents were behind a window and the instructors were in the pool with the kiddos.

My Beautiful Bride

I was going through some old picture files on my computer the other day and came across a couple pictures that I just love. So, I thought I’d share them. They were from about five years ago but I don’t really think much has changed.

Girls, for some reason, seem to not recognize this. They seem to think that we husbands see them in the same way they see themselves and that just tends to not be the case, I think. When I look at Joelle, I continue to see the same thing I saw five years ago when these pictures were taken.

Crashed

Our son is not a good sleeper. There was a brief period of time, before he was a year old right after he had tubes in his ears because of so many ear infections, that he slept through the night. Other than that, it is a rare and celebrated occasion when he makes it through the night without waking up.

Not long ago, however, he had had such a hard night and was awake so much (followed by a day of playing hard outside) that when he came home, he had fallen asleep in the van on the way. It should be noted that Kyle also is not car sleeper, either. After waking up at home, he came into the house and then promptly laid down on the floor in front of Katie’s swing.

Our Princess

I know that everyone has probably been wondering when I’d get around to posting new pictures of Katie. Well, it just so happens that we have a couple very adorable shots of her. Now that she’s been feeling better more often, we were actually able to get some shots of her smiling.

It’s only a couple of pictures, but they are cute enough to make up for the time that’s passed without posting any. She’s such a beautiful little princess. After a bit of a rough start, she’s getting to the point where she’s becoming a quiet, happy little baby. Though, she can get very angry when she’s hungry.
