On the Court

and fun was had by all!

sundays

Hmmm let's see. Morgan is ready for church. Maddy is ready for church. Tanner is ready for church. Coleman is ready for church. Faith is NOT ready for church. Sundays are such a struggle with Faith. She just does not know how to be reverent for three hours of church. We are lucky if she makes it through two meetings. But the big kids are great. Always ready on time!!! Good job guys!

catcher in the car

We had a catcher in the car over the last weekend. He sure is a cute one!

Morgan tried the gear on as well. She looks great too!

sandwiches and the sun

We had a stroller adventure this weekend. It was myself, Morgan, Tanner, and of course Faith. We decided it was a nice day for a walk so we (no not we, I) was a bit overzealous and we decided to walk to Quiznos for a $5 sub. It was around 2:00 pm and I did not realize what a warm day it was out there. We lathered up in sunscreen but as the trip continued I was worried that Faith was getting sunburned. Her face was getting hot, red and sweaty. The kids tried to shadow her as much as possible. Once we finally made it to the sandwich shop I made a few embarrassing phone calls . . . one to my Mom and one to Lala to see if they were anywhere in our vicinity to see if we could catch a ride home. Nana was the closest and very willingly picked us up and drove us home. Thanks Nana. We love you.
It was all worth it though. When we were about half way there and our conversation had gotten quiet - cute Tanner was walking a bit behind me and said, "Thank you Melanie." It melted my heart. Even more than they blazing hot sun. I love these kids. I have the best stepkids EVER!

go tanner

Tanner has decided to play a new position in baseball this year. He plays catcher! And he is awesome!

Here is Tanner on third base. I think he is watching to see if he can steal hom! Go Tanner!

hawaiian dress

The kids had a chance to go to Hawaii for Spring Break. They brought Faith back this darling Hawaiian dress. I got a darling fish bracelet with tons of different colors on it. Mike got a Hawaii t-shirt and some golf balls. Thanks kids for bringing these surprises home. We love them!

open wide

The kids enjoyed feeding Faith in her new booster chair this past weekend. And as you can tell from the pictures - Faith enjoyed it as well! Chelsea called Tanner the "Baby Whisperer" and she is right.

can you hear me now?

PlaY TiMe

Tanner loves to play with Faith and Faith loves to play with Tanner. This past weekend they were crawling together and racing. Oh wow - Faith thought that was about the best thing ever! They have such a fun time together and you cannot but help laugh when you watch them.

new "do" for the spring

Tanner asked Mike to cut his hair the last time they were with us. He got a little buzz cut and looks like a handsome little devil.
