Grandma and Grandpa

We woke up Monday to an unexpected sunny day and we were off. Mom and Dad took the boys on a walk to "campus" and my dad took these pictures. Noah joined me on my run when we crossed paths on the loop and he biked along. It was fun be with him, a very good distraction to me since it was very hot. I realized I never trained for the mini in hot weather. As soon as we got home the "boys" Gary, Dad and Noah headed to the golf course. Another perfect day for golf and Noah parred hole 3 legitimately. Way to go buddy!

Mom and I stayed home with Logan and Isaiah and Logan kept us extremely entertained. I could spend hours watching Logan when she is in her own world, singing and living in pretend play mode. She loves her water table and spend hours watering the dirt, making mud for Isaiah to stomp through or sit down in. This is going to be a GREAT summer (ha, ha) I have already decided that I can NOT fill the sandbox this summer for my own sanity. Logan would love it but little brother would too.Dez, when I took this picture I was thinking of Ella and her love of hair accessories. She has a shown Logan the most beautiful way to wear headbands and I am very thankful. I do love it. At some point Logan disrobed and stayed looking just like this until 5 o'clock when Grandma finally insisted she get dressed. Grandma was introduced to Pretty, Pretty Princess, aren't they beautiful? Grandma is also good for HOURS of reading when she visits, which my kids love and so do I. Thank you mom and dad for spontaneously joining us for a long weekend. We had a great time and look forward to visiting you for the Fourth of July. Love you Both.

Who knew Ella would be a trend setter? It will be cute to see their friendship grow. And I'm totally with you on the sandbox - sunblock and rolling in sand do NOT mix!

but just think of the hours of fun Isaiah would have dumping the sand all over your patio, down his pants, in Logan's face....okay, maybe next year!

What's to come?. . .Future phone calls

Seriously, I am still laughing. I handed Logan her pink play cell phone that had gone through the wash. So as I was putting the laundry away (it had been over a week and the pile was about to tumble.) in the boys room, Logan made a phone call.(on the pink cell) Logan: Hey Desirae, how are you doing? Me: Logan, Mrs. Crouch is what you need to call her. She isn't your friend, she is Ella's mommy. Logan: Mommy, I am just talking with Dez. I just let it go because I was so tickled. It gets better. This is what I hear with long pauses in between. (I really grabbed Noah's sketch pad and wrote it down word for word) "I've been doing that for weeks." "Oh, you HAVE? Oh, Wow . . good for you!" "Isaiah, not now, I'm having a phone call." Then Logan makes her way into the boys closet, (I am still putting clothes away). I tell her leave the door open and get out of the closet. Her response, "Mom, just like you when you talk on the phone." ...

Today was Logan's photo shoot for her four year picture. Noah (seven years old) had his picture take a couple of weeks ago but I never posted them. Would you believe these were taken downtown. . . . Upland?? Traci Falder, (my running partner) has abandoned running with me to pursue her dream of starting a photography business. (no hurt feelings) She is extremely talented and I encourage you to check out her photography blog at tracifalderphotography.blogspot.com. In between these two photo shoots, I took Isaiah to JCPenny's for his picture because my membership runs out at the end of this month. After trying to keep my active 18 month old on a red dot, in a tiny room, with a billion props to look at, (but me not letting him hold any), it was all I could do to not walk out and call Traci to redo his pics. Which I will in the next week, hopefully:) When I first saw Noah sitting like this, I immediately thought this is exactly how Gary would sit. Traci told Noah to sit on this ben...

Baseball Season has Arrived

Noah as "Lead Off" Batter, which has become Coach Spiegel's nick name for him. This weekend we had a game Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Noah's team is 2-2 and Noah is having a great time. He is batting well and improving out in the field at his new position of pitcher. Last year he played third base and really liked that. Noah is learning to think about where he should throw the ball to get someone out BEFORE the other team hits. He has fielded well and then made errors in where he has or has not thrown the ball. This will come for him as he keeps playing. I hope this doesn't sound critical, I think Noah is a fantastic athlete for his age (I hope that doesn't sound braggy) I just want to journal where he is ability wise so we can look back and see where he improves over time. Noah at first base. Justin Singer as first baseman, a friend of Noah's from church and King's . Noah, Bailey Spiegel, and Conner Raikes. The Three Musketeers. Snow cone ...
