Happy Easter

We had a busy but fun Easter weekend. On Saturday Griffin and I went to an Easter egg hunt with some people from our church. Then we dyed eggs Saturday night and I am happy to say that Gage still wanted to participate. He's growing up so fast and doesn't like to do all of the "little kid" things we use to do together, but he's usually a good sport and will pretend like he's having fun anyway. Gage also broke the news to me that he no longer believes in the Easter bunny, I figured he didn't but it was so devistating to hear him say it, lol. At least I get to enjoy Griffin being little for a little while. I don't know what I'm going to do when he doesn't beleieve in the Easter bunny. After church Sunday we went to Gene's mom's house for dinner and the kids hid eggs then we came home and hid eggs--again. Now I'm gonna just relax and enjoy spring break with my boys.

Baseball Practice

Once again it is time for baseball and this time we have two playing. We are still in practice mode right now so it really hasn't been too bad. The pictures are from Griffin's first practice. He is so excited to finally be playing ball like his big brother. Gage is excited for Griffin to be playing as well. He helps him practice and likes the idea of the little kids looking up to him. Gene has his hands full trying to work with both of them. I try to help but they get aggravated that I can't catch the ball and they tell me I throw like a girl--I wonder why.

My New Niece

My baby sister had a baby Friday. A healthy and beautiful little girl, Alyssa Joanne--(Joanne was our mom's name). She weighed 7 pounds 3 ounces. We traveled to Tennesse after school Thursday so I could be there with her when she went in for her induction the baby was born Feb. 29 on leap year. Jessica and baby Alyssa are doing great so far but I had to leave them Sunday and that was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. We had a good time while we were there. We went out to eat Saturday with my dad and step-mom and my brother and his girlfriend. Gage and Griffin were excited about the baby, she's their first cousin on my side of the family. They were also happy that they got to miss school Friday. They love the trip to Tennessee because they get to go through tunnels and see the mountains. The only problem is that it was such a short trip, I wish we could have spent more time there. I can't wait to go back and visit over the summer.
