Play ball!

Our house is split NorCal and SoCal... Last year I was THRILLED Scott's team for T-ball was the Giants! And being the good dad that he is, Drew reluctantly went out and bought himself a Giants hat, which was a little painful. So I guess it was inevitable that this year would be different. Scott now plays for the Dodgers. Sad. However, he is so excited to be able to hit real pitches (sort of - they use a machine) and play with several of his good friends: Tyler, Connor, Caden and Parker. And I'm excited because I know I will get to hang out with a bunch of awesome ladies while we watch our boys play!

The first 3 games of the season were cancelled because of rain, and Scott could HARDLY wait to play! Finally, they were able to play last Saturday, versus the Giants, of course. It wasn't bad for the first game! He did get a couple of hits which was very pleased with.




But sadly, his last at bat he was called out on a strike 3 (by the opposing coach), when clearly he tipped the ball. He was crushed. Tough to learn your first lesson about bad calls... It took a trip to The Habit after the game with Daddy to recover from that trauma. But we have a long season ahead of us, and I'm sure we will see lots of improvement!


BTW, the Cat in the Hat was his class pet he was supposed to take care of this weekend...

To ski or not to ski?

Skiing is not my thing. That became obvious when I was in the 6th grade and I did a night ski trip with my jr. high to Boreal. It was freezing. And not my idea of fun. But Drew does love to ski, so since I won't go, he decided to take Scott for his first lesson. I think Scott had a good time, although when I asked him what his favorite part was, he said, "The hot chocolate." That's my boy!

Charlotte is 5!

If you think this post looks awfully familiar, you are right. In our family, we have a big friend party every other year. So this is the family party year... Charlotte wanted to celebrate with the fam (Heidi included, since they may as well be twins) at the most magical place on earth -- CHUCK E CHEESE! And yes, this same celebration happened April 2009:


Wait... In my search for the post about the 2009 party, I realized I never did write about it! Probably because Trevor was 2 weeks old at the time. Anyway...

The theme of the night was all Rapunzel. It was SO convenient Tangled was just released on DVD a couple of days before the party! Charlotte and Heidi were in heaven with pizza, Rapunzel cake and a cup full of tokens. Happy birthday, my girl!
