Morgan's 1st T-Ball Game

The good news, no rain! It was a little chilly, but luckily I layered her up! They had 3 "innings" and Morgan was the first batter, I missed her first hit (coach was standing right behind her). I think they were all a little more distracted with double the kids around!

The last couple practices we only had 6 players, on game day there were 10! They thought their little "mats" aka rug samples with their names on it were so cool. I think it was a clever idea of the coach to be able to tell them apart, they all look the same now with their shirts and then top them off with a helmet! Good game, team Heidi Ho!!!!

Our serious ball player! LOL

Which way are you gonna go Morgan?

1st hit of the night! GO MORGAN!!!

Morgan's Playing T-Ball

Morgan started T-ball last week, but this was the first "real" practice. They are so cute!!! Unfortunately Morgan is left handed and the glove we have from McKenna is not meant for a lefty. It confuses her when she is in the field. She throws the coaches for a loop because she bats left handed too!

Learning how to run the bases, each base they had to yell out, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and HOME!

We realized her helmet fits better if she leaves her baseball cap on underneath!!

Practice running the bases! High five to coach Danelle!

Throwing practice!

Dad was there to help out, she had a smile on her face almost the whole time!

Easter Morning

Easter Egg Hunt at the Country Club

Morgan found the golden AND silver egg for her age group. She was SO excited and ended up with a baby doll as her prize, PLUS all the candy!

Enjoy the pics of the great race!

I'm not sure how many years we have been hunting eggs the day before Easter at the La Grande Country Club, but each year gets better! This year I was actually able to watch each of the kids separately and get pictures! Connor was still not real excited about the eggs. We did find out this was McKenna's last year to participate, it only goes to age 10. It's no fun getting old!! LOL

A Day Out of the House

We spent mid-morning up Ladd Creek with Grandpa Bob and Dana. We roasted hot dogs over the fire and toasted marshmallows and the best part made smores!! It was nice to get out of the house. The dogs loved being able to run around and they were exhausted when we got home. Connor and the girls enjoyed exploring everywhere and Connor especially loved playing in the small patches of snow and mud puddles. He was a MESS! It was a good time for all!

Morgan discovered it was much easier to put the chocolate directly on the warm marshmallow! What a genius!

Abbey was not very happy about the cold creek! Bbbbrrrrrr...

Abbey: "You want me to go down that?"

Roasting lunch!!

Connor's 1st experience with toasted marshmallows!

Pictures Just Because

Connor has figured out how to open a few select cupboards!

Mommy's little cowboy!!

Maylie and Connor, cozy cousins!

Sledding Fun in the New Year

Finally a chance to enjoy some snow! We had to drive about 20 minutes to get to some decent snow but it was worth it! The kids had a blast and the dog got some exercise! Sledding seems to bring out the big kid in Eric too! Hopefully this is the first of many fun days in the snow!

Morgan the fearless!

Love the facial expressions, McKenna a little nervous and Morgan's big smile!

Connor's first time down like a big boy!

Just the boys, hang on Connor!!

Eric rolling off the sled, love the legs straight up in the air!!

Deep snow makes it hard for Morgan to move, but she still managed to plow her way through!
