New Pics of Cole

Whoa! Two posts in one day....

We wanted to share some new pictures of Cole:


Yes he is flipping the bird. You will also notice he is in his car seat. It's amazing how much they pick up just by watching daddy drive!

March=Spring=Ball Field

Well it is that time of year again: The flowers are starting to bloom, the allergies are acting up, we got snow in Georgia.....all of this points to Spring time in the south. And with Spring comes softball & baseball.


Hailey is playing on a fast pitch travel softball team out of Sandy Plains. She'll play in tournaments all over the metro Atlanta area from now until July. She has played softball since she was 6, and still loves it. (mommy and daddy hope she can get a scholarship to college but that's beside the point)




Nathan started ball as well. He is on the Cubs, which I'm sure will make his uncle Patrick very happy. I'm just glad he's not on the Mets...




Between the two of them, we will be at the ball field 5-6 days a week. The weekends get particularly tricky because they often play/practice at the same time in different places. It is doable now by Jacey taking one and me taking the other, but I'm not sure what we will do when Connor starts playing and we have to be in three different places at the same time.


Even though the schedule can get crazy, we love it. We get out of the house and off our rears to spend time together as a family. Over the years we have invested in foldable chairs, foldable tents, coolers, water bottles, battery powered fans and a lot of sunscreen. It can be a lot of work, but we wouldn't change it for the world.

Spider-Man!

EDIT: A few new pictures:




Our little Connor loves to dress up in costumes and pretend he is a superhero. We never thought much of it until we had a hard time finding a recent picture of him without a costume on! It seems like every event in which we had a camera Connor was nowhere to be found, only Spider-Man.....

His birthday:


The older kid's first day of school:


Halloween:


Christmas:

As you can probably tell from the Christmas photo the costume has seen better days. The clasps are all broken and it is only held on by a single safety pin. Luckily Santa brought Batman, Blue Power Ranger and Hulk costumes. The only problem is he now tries to wear 2 or 3 at a time!!!
