All Boy!

Treyson is definitely my 100% ALL BOY!  He goes outside any chance he can.  He is definitely partial to sports....but is fairly well-rounded in that department.  He plays football, baseball, gymnastics, and just recently added golf.  

My dad lent us the clubs my brother used to play with and Treyson has really taken to practicing his swing.  On Easter weekend, Jerry took him out on the golf course for a few holes to let him see what it was like.  Treyson was in LOVE, and still talks about it.  So I caught him practicing the other day.  He goes into the garage where Jerry keeps his stash of tees, and put a few in his pocket (just like Dadoo).  It was the cutest thing watching him pull it out, put it into the ground, then getting his ball ready. The clubs are pretty long, but he sure looks cute practicing....and he's one persistent little stinker!  

Treyson wasn't too sure he wanted to do gymnastics (he said it was for girls).  But the first time we took Anniston, he decided that he did want to do it.  He is great at his cartwheels, his balance from doing the balance beam has improved tremendously.  He and Anniston are always out on the trampoline working on their gymnastics "tricks", so his most recent accomplishment is that he can now do a front flip--eek!  Makes this Momma nervous!

Football....his true love.  He loves to go into the backyard and practice his kicking.  He got this cool toy that hikes the ball to you.  It was so cute watching him work with it the other day, so I ran (who am I kidding....waddled) out to film him.  

I went back inside to put my fat ankles back up, and turned around to see that he had switched to baseball.  He despises using a tee at home (doesn't mind it for T-Ball practice and games, thank goodness)....he'd rather you pitch to him.  So, he solves this problem by just tossing the ball up and ripping it.  I snuck out on the back porch and snagged this video without him even realizing.....I know I'm tremendously partial, but this seems pretty impressive!  He was hitting the ball at age 2 from Jerry throwing it to him (remember....he doesn't like a Tee.....REAL baseball players don't use that--ha!)

We are now into T-Ball season.  I was sitting at the park last Tuesday night (the kids' first game) thinking to myself, 'this is the first of MANY nights I will spend at a ballpark'......and I can't wait!

Shopping for Father/Daughter Dance

Anniston's elementary school is having a Father/Daughter dance this coming Friday night.  Jerry officially asked Anniston to the dance last week, and we took time on Saturday to take her shopping for the perfect dress.  The theme is "Hollywood", so she knew it had to have sparkle.  She was HILARIOUS while looking at dresses.  

She went around each grouping of displayed dresses and picked out ones she thought she liked.  We then took those 6 dresses to the dressing room.  Jerry held out this salmon colored dress until the end (he knew it would be her favorite).  She was wanting something longer (hallelujah!), sparkle, and twirl-ness.  Well, wouldn't you know she put this one on, and immediately started glowing.  She marched out of the dressing room telling Dadoo, "This is the one"!!

She told me that she felt like she was on an episode of "Say Yes to the Dress", except it was better....because she got to dance with her Dadoo!  Oh, I absolutely melt seeing the precious, loving relationship between Jerry and Anniston that continues to grow and get even more sweet with each passing day.

Tour of Labor and Delivery

Saturday morning, we woke up to run a few errands.  We then stopped at Krispy Kreme (hot sign was on.....who doesn't stop?!)  After we finished breakfast we took the kids to tour the Labor and Delivery at the local hospital.

The kids were posing by the elevator sign of Labor and Delivery.....they held up "L"s....not because they think Mommy's a loser (they won't figure that out until later), but for "Little Bit"!!  Love it!

Dadoo telling them all about the little warming beds that the babies lay in at the nursery. . . 

 Me and my 2 big helpers!  They are so excited :)  Treyson's new thing is to want to point to his "baby sister" in each picture (he thinks it's a girl!)

 Anniston loves my belly :)

 She would do this all day long if I would let her.  I love how precious she is with my belly!!

We are all starting to get so anxious for this baby to come!  We have right at 1 and a half weeks until my due date.  I'm already dilated to 2 cm....and the baby is head down.  That's always good news that my body's kicking in the memory mode and knows what to start doing!  My body also likes to bake babies to the 40th week, so I expect no changes for at least another week (but the bags are packed, and notes for Grandparents are already made!!)

Outside playing!

The weather this week has been GORGEOUS!  We have been outside as much as possible!  Anniston worked on a little bit of hitting, and then the kids got in some good trampoline time :)

 Thank goodness we have a "1 person jumping/doing tricks at a time" policy....you'll understand why...

Hope everybody is able to get out and enjoy this weather!

Snow day??

Several weeks ago, it started snowing mid-morning, and continued steadily until about 12:30.  The school had made an official call around 12:20 to close school early (2:00), worrying that if it snowed for an hour and a half more, the roads would be too slick for the buses.  

Well, as I said earlier, the snow stopped falling about 10 minutes after the official decision was made.  So Jerry scooted out of work to get both kids picked up by 2:00.  

This is what they had to play with....pitiful, huh?!

 But of course they managed to work on rolling up a little snowman!

 Treyson did too!

 No clue what this is....Dadoo took a picture of it, so I posted it--ha!

Almost springtime!  YAY!

Happy Birthday Mommy!

I'm having to play blog-catch up.  I've been bad.....

We celebrated my birthday back in February.  MaMa and PaPa drove up and we went out to eat at Shogun's--Mommy's FAVORITE!  Then we went back to the house to eat the YUMMY cake Dadoo bought for Mommy at my favorite bakery :)

I was directing the kids as they sang to me :)

 Trying to fake them out on blowing out candles.....

 I know my wish will come true!

The kids and Dadoo took me shopping on Saturday (the day before my birthday).  It was wonderful :)

On Sunday, my mom took me shopping for my birthday present....a new pair of grey Uggs that I have been eyeing for over 2 years---so happy!  Jerry's parents got me a facial (which I used today, actually).  Facials are so heavenly.  I'm one lucky Mommy!

Thank you all :)

A New Favorite

Seriously? We took our kids to Waffle House?

Oh, yes we did! And to top that, we sat at the bar in front of the kitchen space...go hard or go home, right? HA!!

The kids loved it. They told me its their new favorite breakfast restaurant (IHOP used to hold the lead).

Mommy was craving some hash browns, and Dadoo was beside himself when I suggested Waffle House. We ate there sometimes in college, but not much in the past 10 years. Dadoo enjoyed every last bite!!
