Practice

We signed Canyon up for T-ball.

He is excited.

Gary is excited.

And they've been practicing.

He slides into every base.

He can hit the ball when pitched to.

He's getting good at grounders.

(The season is still a month and 1/2 away from starting.)

Stay tuned...

Just so I don't forget...

Canyon curses... but his words are G-rated. He says things like, "Oh, cragnots" or "crockpot."

*


On the way home from the babysitter Canyon informed Gary, "my heart aches for McDonald's."

*


Canyon was looking for the mayonnaise he couldn't find it and said "awkward." I love when he tries to use big words inappropriately.

*

Canyon could do projects all day. We've been doing a lot of Valentine's, building robots, painting birdhouses. He occasionally comes up some creative ideas such as making a gumball machine out of snow.

*

When praying Trek always blesses the bad guys and and his other imaginary friends or toys.

*

The only thing Trek likes more than superheros is CANDY. He searches the counter tops, fridge and cupboards when I'm not watching (he recently broke a bottle of cholula and extra virgin olive oil).

E.X.E.R.C.I.S.E.

We joined the YMCA.
It's GREAT.
They babysit for free for up to 2 hours a day.
The boys love it.
Gary goes often.
I don't.
I am awkward at the gym.
I go straight for the elliptical.
I am afraid of weights.
I am afraid of the classes (zumba, spinning, kick boxing).
I locked myself out of my key locker.
I can't get my headphones to stay in my ears.
I run into equipment.
So sometimes we just exercise at home to prevent total embarrassment.

Scorpion Suckers

Canyon carefully licked around the edges and threw his sucker in the trash after about 10 licks.


Trek wasted no time biting through the scorpion eating every bit.

Valentine's Day: The Crafts

This Valentine's Season Canyon and I crafted like crazy (Canyon loves projects). We made little bundles love, had friends over for a Valentine Party, and covered our house with hearts.


YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY


P.S. The heart is the only shape Trek knows (this pleases me tremendously).

Valentine's Day: The Card

I ordered cards this year.
Spent a little more.
Had some extra time for V-day crafts. I loved the prints.
Win-win.
