Spring baseball

Baseball is finally over for the season. We'll still have some practice but until fall no more games.

It's so nice to be able to sleep in on Saturdays, and not be rushing to the ball fields. 

We made it to the play offs, but lost the second game putting us out.

Carson improved so much this season. He still has a long way to go but he'll get there. We had a great season. 

While big brother is playing ball Olivia is playing beauty shop. 

These girls have so much fun playing together. 

Is she a diva or what?

1st swim

Last week we had our first swim for the season.

I had all of our stuff ready to go so when Carson got out of school we could head straight to the pool.

I never got in, but I'm pretty sure the big pool was FREEEEEZING!

My little fish tried telling me otherwise, but when he got out he couldn't stop shivering. Ha!

Olivia had fun working on her surfing skills in the kiddie pool.

Wearing her "go-gles"

 While we were there she found a chauffeur.

We're looking forward to lots more swims with our friends this spring/summer.

Golden Grips

I recently joined a moms group, and every week there's multiple play dates you can choose to go to.

This week we went to Golden Grips gymnastics. On Wednesdays if you have a large enough group it's only $5 for open gym.

 They set up a fun little obstacle course for the kids to follow. It went to a song, and when it said freeze you froze in the spot you were in. Olivia didn't quite get the freeze part.

We had a lot of fun. It was so laid back, I was able to chat, and meet some of the moms I didn't know while Olivia got to play.

 There was also a little song that went with the parachute.

 3 kids got to go in the middle at a time while the others wrapped them up like a present.

 Then they unwrapped them really quick. The instructor was so good with the kids.

Before we left they got out this swing over the trampoline.

 All the little girls flew like butterflies.

 I was surprised my little flipper didn't try to do any flips in the air.

 We will definitely be going back to Golden Grips gym.

 



Kid Mania

Friday Carson had a field trip to Kid Mania, so I tagged along.

I didn't  see him much because he was mostly up in the play gym.

 We've been to kid mania before. It's fun, cheap entertainment when it's not busy. Definitely isn't somewhere you want to go on a Saturday.

Each kid got a game card with some money on it to play some of the arcade games. Upstairs is full of arcade, and a parents only sitting area.

I'm not really sure how they got this field trip approved other than maybe it's good exercise, or for motor skills.

Not that I'm complaining, if I was a kid I would have totally loved coming here for a field trip.

              

 After some playing they got pizza, and water for lunch.

 

Thanks Aunt Katy for watching Olivia so I could tag along with Carson's class.

Watkins Spring Carnival

A couple of weeks ago Carson's school had their Spring Carnival.

Carson's classroom had a fishing eggstravagnza activity.

Olivia "fishing" for her special egg Mrs. Scherer brought for her. Have I mentioned how much we love her?

Carson being the great big brother he is had to give sister a little help.

Carson had so much fun.

 I only bought enough tickets for him and Olivia to do his classrooms activity, and the pony rides.

After their egg fishing we went to check out the silent auction.

His class had a fun theme. We donated tail gating items. A grill, cooler, chairs, bbq utensils, rubs, marinades, etc. We personally donated two adult chairs, and two children's chairs. We didn't stay around to see how much it ended up going for. I think the bidding had to start around $150.

 Next was some pony ridin'.

 Carson was hilarious, he started kicking the sides, and saying giddy up. His horse actually started moving faster.

 Olivia was lovin' the ponies. She told daddy she wanted a horse.

 Unfortunately, daddy said no, but did offer her a few goats. We'll keep working on the getting a horse.
