Larson invited Nana & Grampy to come to his playgroup today. They met at the Arboretum to feed the ducks.
Jackson was placed on a Steiner Ranch team this season and we couldn't be happier. He plays for the Atlanta Braves. His team is made up of 1st and 2nd graders and Jackson is one of the two biggest kids.
How fun is it to have your Grandpa at your game?
This is a coach pitch team and the ball is thrown overhand but not at a real fast speed so the ball drops in over the plate. Jackson was struggling with that versus swinging evenly over a tee.
Jackson taking off for second base or just running to get away from the gigantic 1st baseman.
It looks like he is doing a celebration dance but actually just crossing over home base thanks to some great RBI's.
The Bunny found our house!
On our way to church
Thanks to all of our Sunday School teachers that helped teach our kids the importance of Easter. Each one of them had many comments on the way home about Jesus and Easter. Larsons was "It's not about the treats but Jesus" He said this as he was stuffing chocolate candy in his mouth.
Our Easter Egg Hunt
Uncle Chris stopped on the side of the road and bought a pinata from a Mexican lady selling them. Then he stopped at Walgreens and filled this 4ft rabbit with Candy. I thought that the Easter Bunny brought allot of candy but Uncle Chris stole the show.
Having some Easter Fun!
8 weeks old and growing like crazy
The kids are falling more and more in love with him since he has started to come to life for them.
It was a perfect night to go for a sunset at the Oasis. After all, you don't go there for the food. Actually it wasn't that bad this time around. We really had a beautiful view and weather. It was fun to go there with the family and feel like we were all on vacation. Yeah, to Logan who slept the entire time so Mom could have an enjoyable dinner!
Tom was able to take a day off work to spend with us on Spring Break. We got season passes to Sea World so we will enjoy many days there this summer. Our first day was so much fun and the park is so beautiful. The water park was still closed but should have been opened with the 95 degree day that we had!
Logans first trip to Sea World. He did so well even though he had more stimulation in this one day than in his entire life so far.
We all loved the Dolphin Cove. The kids had fish to feed to them so they got some close up interaction. Jordan even touched one!
Our day was filled with so many different activities. We watched shows, rode rides, and enjoyed the aquarium. We all rode the Steel Eel., no not an animal but a wicked roller coaster. It was so intense. Tom got caught with his head down when they took his picture. Jordan decided that she is too small to ride again and Jackson and I just loved it. Of course the little ones did not ride.
I, along with 500 other families thought that it would be a great day to spend at Zilker Park. It was very very crowded. The train was even sold out for the day but Larson took that one OK. We decided to make the most of it and enjoy the great weather and time off of school. We invited some friends to go with us and we all started with a picnic lunch.
We ventured over to the nature center and it was not as crowded. Larson is standing in front of a Texas coyote.
Happy 8th Birthday to Jackson
One more birthday celebration and then we are done for a little while. Today was a great day because there were no activities at all and Jackson could just hang out and enjoy his special day. Daddy took him to Target to spend some gift cards and he came home with a cool Star Wars Leggo ship.
March 2, 2008
It seems like Larson has been in our lives much longer than 4 years. I keep thinking that he should be turning 5. I am sure that is because he acts so much older. He has to hang with the older kids. Larson got to celebrate his birthday with family and friends the day before at Pump It Up. His actual birthday was on Sunday so we went to church and had Logans blessing. Aunt Char broke all the rules and made us stop at Baskin Robins for ice cream (even before lunch) just because Larson wanted ice cream and it was his birthday. The rest of the day was all about Larson. Conni, thank you for the "hanging the name idea"! Uncle Chris joined us for his birthday dinner. Uncle Chris got Larson his very own video rocking chair, Pat Pat, Papa, and great Grandma Boyd got him the ESPN Batting Machine, and Grampy and Nana got both Larson and Jackson a very cool soft serve ice cream machine (sprinkles included of course). It also came with a waffle cone maker! We cant wait to use it. 
Today was a special day for us. We were so happy to have family here for the blessing. This was the first time that Tom was able to bless one of our children. Papa had blessed the rest and we were so honored that Papa was here to still be a part by being in the circle.
Logans Blessing from his Father
Grandma Pat Pat finally meets Logan
Only the love of a grandparent would find them driving cross country to spend 48 hours with us. I am so thankful to both of them for making that long trip and spending the weekend here. Logan loved being held the entire time. Pat Pat even got some of his first smiles. He was very happy being with you both.
Logan at 5 weeks
I would smile too, knowing I have the best big sister.
A lazy Friday after school, and the kids go directly to their new play toy-Logan. Both of them are so comfortable holding, picking up, and loving on him. Of course, they don't do diapers but Larson does, no surprise there. He was still in SC with Aunt Char.
