Smart Start T-ball

Back in April 2012 Clayton asked to play a sport. I've said it before that we are not in an awesome location for multiple opportunities so I was afraid I wasn't going to find something for his age. I asked around and heard great things about the Start Smart Sports program on post. They offer weekly sports classes that are geared toward teaching the basic skills of which ever sport is in season. In April they were offering Baseball. I was overall pleased with the program. The kids learned very basic baseball skills but also team sport skills and how to listen to a coach.

It was a really fun time for everyone...Jason was the parent who particiapted since there was parent participation required... I got to watch and snap pictures and feed Charlotte :)

Easter 2012

The children's birthdays often fall around or on Easter so we have to get creative in celebration. This year we planned Clayton's birthday trip on Ester weekend so we did a few activities leading up to the weekend. While we didn't want to take away from Clayton's weekend we for sure didn't want to miss the meaning of Easter. 

The week before Easter we read some stories and did some activities to help the messages hit home.

Clayton's birthday weekend was celebrated with a trip to Legoland and a stay at Coronado Island. Sunday morning (Easter) we spent the morning on the beach enjoying each other and the dolphins playing in the waves.

Charlotte is not a fan of the sand

Love this

I could not think of a better way to spend a quiet, cool, peaceful morning with my family and remembering the ultimate sacrifice the God made for us.

Spring is in the air...and clogging up my ears?!?

I woke up this morning with the worst clogged ear feeling, no pain just annoying! Allergies...sinuses...screaming infant...who know? What I do know is although I had to ask Clayton to repeat himself 80 times today we had a great day and spent some much needed time soaking in some vitamin D.
