Happy Day to You and Me

When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew
~William Shakespeare

I am so lucky he chose me.

Six years down and a lifetime to go.

Of course we were undefeated.....

We had such a fun season. Although the games were rather early (8:30am on Saturdays in Healdsburg), the season seemed to fly by with a ton a memories that make our hearts smile. Lilly liked to typically do a full pirouette after each swing...really cute.




Drew really gets baseball. He wants to learn about it, he wants to practice it, and it makes his parents bubble over with pride.


I mean look at this ready position...


Now before you see this next picture..you should know that no kid plays outfield in tball because the reality is that it is EXTREMELY RARE that a ball would be hit out there. So thoughts and observations about the picture below:




I can guarantee you that there were birds and flowers that were more interesting to her in the outfield.

Another example of Lilly's head in the game....or stick hitting the tree when she should be on deck to hit.
hmmmmm

One of the cutest things coach Fred (who is a celebrity in our house by the way) was to ask when our team was in the field "WHO WANTS THE BALL THUNDER?"....and our team responded, "I DO"....here is Drew's I do.


I am not sure the Thunder was undefeated, but some one might have been keeping score......maybe. First season in the books!!

You know it's summer when....

You can actually wear a bathing suit to the beach in Bodega.


She could live every day at the beach. After all....she did say her favorite food is sand in her "all about me" preschool book.



I close my eyes and pretend we are in Hawaii, and then all sudden a seagull takes my bag of chips, and then a step or two into the frigid water brings you back to reality.




Drew and the beach have a roller coaster relationship. Sometimes he only observes...and then when he decides to take the plunge, he changes his mind. But there is not a better thing to play chase with then the waves. If you could see his face close up in the pic...it is a face of pure panic.





We will see you soon Hawaii. Pinky swear.

It starts at a young age.....

It is now time to feature Drew's quotes and interesting thoughts on life as he walks around as a almost 5 year old.

"This pancake bite is too fatty so I am going to throw it away."
"When is Lilly going to get boobies like you mommy?"





When asked why he puts things down his pants, Drew responded calm, cool, and collected with this, " things get charged and get power when they are in my pants....and Lilly puts her special things under her pillow- I put them in my pants."

Hello...is there anyone out there?

I suck at blogging. I don't blame you if you don't read this anymore, or have given up on me. I think I suck too.

Seriously.

I have wanted to write some things down that the kids randomly say that just bring a smile to my face. I know unless I write it down it...it will be lost forever. Our feature appearance tonight is twin B.

Lilly's quotes-

"Where are the flowers that God made?" as she walks open palms to the neighbors freshly mowed lawn.
"Drew....you are going to marry me and my adult teeth."
As we have been at a park for about 2 minutes and Lilly goes right up to another girl her age, "Mommy...this girl is my best friend ever"

Two Wheeling fun....

He has been doing this for a while now, but he was giggling when he did it (first try mind you) Shouting, "I am doing it...I am doing it"



This is the best thing ever invented for basically teaching your kids how to to ride without training wheels. The scooter bike with no pedals, so all they concentrate on is balancing. It's genius if you think about. I mean they know how to pedal...it's the balance they need to get down. Once they can balance and ride this well, transitioning to a two wheeler is piece of cake!

LIlly is now practicing hard on the scooter bike. We all know how competitive she is. I wonder where she gets that? hmmm.

Well played Lilly

So after a long day of excessive whining, I say to Lilly,

"Oh my goodness Lilly, stop whining."

Lilly proceeded to say,

"Mommy, I am not whining. I am just breathing"

Well, I can't ask my daughter to stop breathing. So point goes to Lilly.
