The Busiest Saturday

First we had Alex's Final T-ball Game
It was held at the Peoria Sports Complex.

Getting positions before the game.

They played one last great t-ball game.

And the girls just wanted to color:)

He is ready to go!

Be ready, Mike try's to tell him.

Coach Robert yells, "This isn't football boys!"

Good Game Alex!

Alex and Bubba

Tia Chevela was greeted with lots of hugs after the game!

This picture was taken 11 months ago. Boy do they grow fast!

Thanks for coming out to watch Alex play.

Sparky was even there!

Go Sun Devils!

Mo didn't care for him. I know her Nino's will love that!!

Then Off to Cash's 3rd Birthday Party
We played.

We ate.

Happy Birthday Cash!

Then we left to another party.

Next Stop, Alex's T-ball Party

Have I mentioned Alex has the BEST t-ball coach! He keeps the boys motivated, always learning and having fun at the games and practice. A little side note here...We did ask Alex before this season started if he wanted to try another sport else like soccer.  He said ok is Coach Robert and the other players going to be there? We told him no it would be with another coach and new players.  He responded with No, it ok he want to stay with t-ball.  He is clearly doing this for the social gathering and having fun!

Coach said a little something about every player before giving them their trophey.  Coach said he can always count on getting a hug or two from Alex!

He's right!

Check out my trophy Grandma!

Monique was proud of his trophy too.

And loved the pizza!

Then to all of our surprise Baxter with the Dbacks show up!

She wasn't to happy to see him either.

He signed hats and cards for all the boys and some dads too!

The special treat was when he gave every boy a bat with their name engraved in it!

Debbie just missed Baxter, but got lots of hugs from Alex!

He was so happy!

Good Job Buddy

Then headed home so we ALL could take a nap! When we woke up we headed to Rachel and Jamie's house for dessert so we could sing Happy Birthday to Cash, since we missed it. The kids spent the night there so Mike and I could go out.  Thanks Rachel and Jamie :)  We had a blast at the...

We took another day trip to the camping house to check out the progress. The kids were excited to see snow for the first time!

Then it was time for lunch

and play in more snow!

Then time for some hot chocolate and stay

by the fire to defrost our hands.

We were there just in time to sign one of the steps.

Before we left we went to check out Mr. Jim's house, (the guy doing the building). He said the deer would be there waiting for him.  Sure enough two of them were just waiting around for him to feed them.

To Cool

They were just as excited to she the deer.

Veteran's Day

Thanks to all of our past and present military members. Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do, especially the ones that have given the ultimate sacrifice for us.

Off to the parade to show our support.

Cool firetrucks

Good music.

Big balloons.

More music. Alex loved waving his flag around!

She had to take a little break and color.

There was lots to see!!

There is Nana!

Alex's cool picture.

Lake Pleasent

Brrrr, it was cold this weekend, so we hung out in Grandma and Grandpa Walin's trailer!

They colored and painted with Uncle Ryan.

And Alex stickered him. What a good uncle.

Alex's treasures he found and then later shared with all his classmates.

The kids spent the night with them and the next day it was beautiful. (still cold but not as bad)

Grandma staying warm.

Monique's cool picture.

She was so excited when the phone rang.

We are in trouble.

It was Grandpa Phil! Silly guys, they talked even though he was just around the corner.

Headed to Dillon's for a little snack.

Going down wasn't bad.

We saw a real pirate ship!

Silly Grandpa and Grandma

Coming up...what were we thinking. This was hard work.

She passed out on the way home from Dillon's

And he got the fire pit ready.

Because it got cold again.

Game Ball

Alex's last chance to get the game ball this season. (yes, every kids gets one by the end of the season).  The coach says this ball goes to someone who doesn't say much but always hits the ball well...

They all listening to see who get it. This is when they are sooo quiet.

Alex S. gets the game ball!

He was so excited he even hugged coach after :)
