A new way to hunt eggs...

 



Rounding Up Some Kindergarteners

Today was Kindergarten Roundup. 

Ayden will be starting this next year. 

He is ready for kindergarten.  Hope kindergarten is ready for him!

Take Me Out To Some Ball Games

 When Ayden plays t-ball, it is some serious business!

Playing short stop, going after the ball

Playing pitcher. 

Here comes the ball, and he catches it on the bounce.

Charging home for the out...

What a great effort!  Unfortunately it was not a force.  The runner went back to 3rd base.  Next time, he'll get 'em!

Here is the next time.  It's your call???

And Ayden slides in at home!  He told me before the game to bring my camera.  He was going to slide home and get his pants dirty.

Operation - successful!

During the game, Ayden hit the ball.  He ran to 1st, and his coach told him to go on to 2nd.  As he ran, he hollered at the other 2 kids standing on 2nd base to go.  Well, they didn't.  So Ayden took care of that by pushing them off the base when he got there.  When I asked him about it, he said, "Well, I told them to go and they didn't.  They have to learn."

  Oh My! 

Easter Sunday

This is the best picture that I got Easter Sunday after church.  The kids were not exactly in a cooperating mood, and Blake was already gone to another Easter.  Oh well, I take what I can get sometimes.

Easter

The boys went again this year to the 3rd Annual McKeehan Easter Egg Hunt.  The kids all listen to an Easter story.  This year's story taught the significance of the Easter lily.  Each child was given a lily bulb to take home and plant.  Hope ours survive.  My thumb is not very green.

This was Sutton's first egg hunt.  He picked up the idea real quick.  We showed him what to do with one egg, and he took it from there.

The bigger kids look for the eggs with their number on it.

After the hunt, everyone enjoyed cookies and juice. 

Sutton sure enjoyed his!

Sutton had wild hair.  It was a little bit windy.  It was a perfect day though, not hot or cold.  The candy wasn't melting. 

Sutton was not taking any chances.  When he had to move, he took it all!  Where there is a will, there is a way!

And Sutton says that is enough.  I am out of here!!

Baseball

Baseball...

Safe!!!! 

Baseball ended tonight for the Comanche Indians.  Blake played the last 3 games on varsity.  He started out playing 3rd base on JV.  When grades came in, a small jv team became too small to play.  Blake was moved up to varsity, and due to some injuries became a starting right fielder on varsity.  He did an excellent job! 

This closes out his sophmore year of sports.  He did an excellent job as the starting quick guard on varsity football, where he received an honorable mention all-district award.  He played basketball as a starter on the JV team.  He won 2nd place in district in the discus on JV.  His season best distance was a throw of 114'.  He played both JV and then varsity baseball.  What a successful year!  As the baseball season ended, he said, "now it's time to get ready for football!" 

Baseball

Cordell up to bat...

And he hits it!  You can see the ball headed toward 3rd base.

I Won't Survive!

Ayden got in trouble about supper time last night.  It was one of those nights when supper consists of steak and shrimp cereal and milk!  Yeah, I'm that mom.  I told him to sit down and eat, because he would be going to bed immediately after he finished.  Well, he was in one of those moods where nothing makes him happy.  He started crying and fussing.  He finally wound up getting a spanking and put to bed.  As we sat there finishing our meal, I hear Ayden mumbling from his room, "I won't survive.  I'm hungry and thirsty.  I won't survive," over and over.  Well that was last night, and believe it or not, he survived!

Mmmmmm Spaghetti

Sutton is learning to eat with a spoon.  Let's try spaghetti...

Let's make sure that we get some everywhere!

Who wants a hug?
