Baseball season

Both the boys are involved in baseball this year. James is in T-ball and Will is in coach pitch. We really are enjoying Will's team this year. They have three fabulous coaches and the kids seem pretty motivated to do well. We've won most of our games and Will has hit the ball each time He's been up to bat. William and I are in awe since we have no talent in sports that involve a ball.
James t-ball team is also very good, but they haven't met very often,which annoys William and I greatly. James has an amazing swing and is called baby Babe Ruth by his coaches. I think James will do great next year when they play more games. This year is mostly instructional.
Baseball has come to consume our weeks. We are at the fields three days a week. The boys love every minute spent there. We are so lucky to have such talented boys!

Spring break

So I know it's been awhile since I have posted anything. We have had a few really busy months. We moved to a different house on base, we now live in a four bedroom, we enjoyed spring break and the boys started baseball. I figured I would start blogging again about spring break.
We spent our spring break here in Vegas. We had what is called a staycation. It was absolutely wonderful!! We did one majorly fun thing a day. On Monday we went to flip N' out. It's a place with a ton of trampolines and some bouncy houses. We went with some friends and had a great time. On Tuesday we went to the Ethel M chocolate factory. We took the quick tour, ate some amazing chocolate and toured their cactus garden. After that we ate at McDonalds and played at a local park. On Wednesday we stayed close to home and played in the back yard with the sprinkler. On Thursday we went to the dollar theater and watched chipwrecked. After that we went to the silverton casino to see the live mermaids! I thought that was awesome! The boys thought it was ok, but they loved the pro bass shop that was attached to the casino. They loved all the stuffed animals and the cool machines everywhere! On Friday we ate at our favorite pizza place. It was a fabulous spring break. It of course ended with Easter. A wonderful end to a great week!
