T-ball Time

Jack had his first T-ball game yesterday and it could not have gone better. He was enthusiastic and interested the entire time. He really seemed to love being out there and knew what was going on. Toby and I were both nervous...how silly is that! He did awesome and cannot wait till his next game.

He started out in left field. Headed to his first at bat.Ready to swing...he got a hit his first swing. SAFE! He completely understood that he needed to drop his bat and run to first.
Second Third

HOME! He loved crossing home plate and stood awhile after he was safe and smiled.
His biggest fans!
Daddy coaching him about playing first base. He did really well there and got the final out of the game when a ball was hit down the first base line and he grabbed it and tagged the base.

A very hot and sweaty Jack listening to his coach after the game. Jack's team really understood the game and played their positions. We have had several practices that obviously paid off.

Enjoying Sunny California

Just a little of what we have been up to.

Chowing on In-n-Out and more cupcakes...there are cupcake bakeries everywhere.

At the park.

Sam climbed this...by himself....he knows no fear.

When Jack saw this picture he asked "Why is Jack sad?"

Swirly slide

Not sure whether you call this a good hair day or bad one. His curls were so tight that day!He was SO excited!
Sam ate...Jack worked!

Even Pez Santa got in on the action.

Sam always makes the funniest faces for pictures...I love this one.
Our gingerbread house had a door until Sam got ahold of it.The finished house...well, it does not look like this now...there is a lot more candy missing as certain little hands keep sneaking bites. I loved just letting the boys go to town. They had a ball.

Disneyland Conquered

Anyone who knows me knows that I was raised loving all things Disney...specifically Disney World. I had heard time and time again that I would be disappointed by Disneyland. All you naysayers were WRONG! We loved it. I loved the smallness of it, meeting characters is done old school, and how incredibly beautiful California Adventure is. Again...we LOVED it. The boys were angels and we did exactly what they wanted which included meeting LOTS of characters (some multiple times), riding Buzz and Race Cars over and over, eating cotton candy (Mom loves too), and playing in the play areas.

Cotton Candy Evidence on Shirt

I saw this BUZZ like 100 times.

Goofy was walking around Toon Town and came up to Jack and Sam.

So good that I even got them to nap at the same time!

Mickey was the only character Sam would hug! He holds out for the big time!

While getting Donald's autograph Pluto came up and started wrestling with him. This would never happen at Disney World. Look at how much Sam does not like this.

Day 4 - A Day to Chill

Today we did a whole lot of this...

a little of this....
and some of this... and just a bit of that. We are wrapping our day up with this.

A great day of loving on my boys, long walks, playing at the playground, and enjoying not having much to do.

Tomorrow...Disneyland???
