Baseball days

So that is what we have been up to, baseball for Jaxson and T-ball for Mya. Usually practice for each once a week and a game or 2 per week. Sometimes a bit overwhelming!!!!!! Whitney loves it and is good with her chair and a snack, fun dips are her new favorite!
Wearing the black paint helps with the sun I guess. One boy brought it and the whole team put it on. He looks so cute and tough:)
The line up with all their names on their backs! Jaxson is really great and loves to be first and catcher!
Putting on the catching gear. Takes a whole lot of work and then the inning is over and off it goes in 2 seconds.
Tonight we had some really special guests join in the cheering section and I am so grateful for them! Old papa and Papa joined us for dinner and the game and Jaxson was so proud. He even caught the winning pop fly way up in the air! I am so grateful for parents who love their grand kids and support them in all they do. I remember my grandparents coming to my events and that made me feel so special when I was little. Memories are so important and seeing my dad and grandpa and I sitting on a blanket with the greenest grass around us feeling a breeze in our face and watching so sweet little baseball boys run around was the highlight of my day! Oh also seeing my girls roll down the hill and smile was pretty cute too!

Jaxson

Our sweet boy had a great day yesterday! He came home from school so happy and said he had a surprise for his sisters. He had gone to the book fair at the school that day with his own money and bought the each a book and one for his special cousin too! I was a proud mom and grateful for his selflessness and act of giving! I guess we are doing something right, I love when it pays off and we can see a glimpse of a reward! I sure love being his mom!

Craft dayz

So we have gone to the last few home depot kids craft days. They absolutely love it ~Mya was a perfectionist and needed every sticker and nail just so!
Whitney is a little carpenter and loves to do it all by herself! Here she is showing off her creation and then they all got to race their cars.
Jaxson with his tongue out for concentration! I sure love that he is into it too! It was a great preparation for the actual pinewood derby for scouts a few weeks later! Love a free activity and especially when the love every second~

Whit

Whit is a bit crazy these days and loves to scream and tell you what to do. We were driving home from a mini vacay this weekend and I thought of passing time we would say our abc's and a word with each. Well we got to P for Popsicle and she promptly stated " pee, pee ,poop, and privates" who knew she had all those P words stored up and bit of potty talk if you ask me but we are getting somewhere and it gave me a good laugh on the way home!

A Perfect Day

So yesterday -pictures to come :) was a perfect day! We woke up on time, got J to school happy, got the girls up and dressed and cleaned up a bit. Then off I was to pick up Molly and Lucas to go to Mesa for lunch with my cousin Jaymie and her little girl. We had a somewhat peaceful drive and got to Rosa's for a delightful green salsa and great food. We loaded up the kids again and drove to the temple where my mom's car was so we thought we would wait for her. The grass was so green the flowers were pristine and the kids played and ran and smiled for at least an hour. There was a sweet little gardener lady who was so nice and told us about some strawberries that the kids could pick. They were delighted and picked and ate and picked some more. They were delicious and with red faces we headed back to look for Bobba one more time. She still didn't come out so we headed home. After picking up a few things and a drink we saw Bobba's red car as we were getting on the freeway. She was excited the kids were happy too! We got home to all have a great nap before going to t-ball practice and Jaxson's game. It was a beautiful night with a little wind. Jaxson had a great game and made a double play! We got some dinner and headed home! Baths, scriptures and prayers and lights out with in 30 minutes and everyone was sleeping without any issues! It was a perfect day and I am so grateful for the beauty and happiness that we had!

Tragedy

Today has been a great day, but also a very sad thing happened. Jaxson's teacher's sister passed away. I have thought and pondered this tragedy all day and am still sick by it. I am once again reminded how short our lives our and it could be our last day tomorrow.
I am reminded of my sweet sisters and that I don't have many pictures of them and I and I want that. I am so grateful that I have that one of a kind relationship like no other. I am grateful that we can be together and be the best of friends and talk and cry and not worry what their thinking. I am so thankful for their unconditional love and not bringing you down. I can't imagine my life without any of them and as the tears come while writing this I am so grateful to know they are just a call away. God gave people friends but sisters are so much more than that! My sister's make me laugh, give me advice, correct my grammar, help me to cook, give help on my kids and fashion, keep me in check, will support me and they are there when I need them most and I hope they feel the same about me. My heart aches for this sweet lady and I wish I could heal the hole in it. Can't wait to see my sister and call her tomorrow and plan an outing!

Today

Well I guess since the loss of our camera and the newer one is difficult to upload the blog has been lagging a lot! Things that have happened are spring break, liver walk, baptisms, visits from cousins from Wyoming, and many of fun things!!!! I guess I need to add the picture thing to my long list of to do's.
Today I have been cleaning and listening to my sweet baby girl and her cousin play and dance and play dress up and be girls and I really love those times! They are currently in 2 purple leotards and having a snack and watching Beauty and the Beast for the first time today. That has been Whitney's movie of choice for the last month or so. She is adorable when she sings to the music and says"Da beest is weawy nice mom!" I sure love a catch up day, but gotta go get ready for the JDRF walk at school with Jaxson and pick Mya up and figure out what's for dinner ! Have a great day live in the moment:)
