Matthew's first t-ball game

Matthew had his first game of t-ball on Saturday.  He basically ran out of the car, went up for bat right away, and hit the first pitch and made it on first base!  We were so proud of him!

sticking our feet in the pool to cool off - the water is still too cold to get in

Off to school in the morning - I thought it was cute to stop and take a picture

At another park on Sunday - the weather cooled down

Audrey stayed home sick that Monday but we enjoyed lunch together

Matthew also enjoyed his first NCAA basketball game.  What a weekend!

Matthews 6th birthday

Matthew had a fun birthday on Friday.  He enjoyed cupcakes at school with a special candle and blessing.  And then on Saturday morning, we celebrated his party at his favorite park. Even his teacher came out!

Mrs. Franklin came out.  This was her neighborhood park when she was a kid.

Getting ready for t-ball

The weather is warming up and we spent the weekend getting ready for t-ball.  We bought Matthew all the stuff (bat, glove, pants, cleats).  He is very excited to play.  He spent some time playing catch with Daddy in the yard and they had their first practice on Sunday.  They were so cute running after the balls.

Spring Break

For Matthew's spring break, he went to Nanna and Papa's in Victoria, Texas.  He went fishing and enjoyed the outdoors.  Audrey stayed home with us and enjoyed getting all of the attention - although, she was a little bored without Matthew around.  Matthew found all of the games at Nanna's house and found a love for the LIFE game.  It was complicated for him but that didn't stop him.  He kept Nanna and Papa on their toes by playing games until 10pm at night!

Audrey saw the play Beauty and the Beast at the Dallas Childrens Theater

Spring Fun Run Carnival

     For March 3rd weekend, the weather was crazy.  On Saturday, we went to a spring fun run carnival.  The temperature warmed up to 80 degrees.  We were so hot that Matthew jumped in the pool as soon as we came home.  The pool water was cold so he quickly got out.  And then later Sunday, the weather changed dramatically and the temperature dropped below 30 degrees!
