baseball season

BRING
IT
ON!!!

(I was told this is "game face")

Tyler's first time up to bat...(ever)...and
he asks for the "T" to be taken away.
This boy can swing!
You should have seen his face as he was
running to first base,
he was beaming!
Love it.

a message from Brooke

"Guess what everyone."

"I turned ONE (well, back on March 15th-mom's a little slow).

I had to keep reminding everyone just how old I am now.
(Messy finger and all)... ONE!! Where did that

year go??"

The party got started with a little shout out to
me and then I got stripped (loved it!) and
got to dig into this yummy cake! Mom didn't
even tell me "NO!" What a dream!
"Yum!"
"Really? I can keep going?"
"Sweet! This is the best day ever!"
After making a complete mess of ourselves
(yes, ALL the other kids joined me), we
cleaned up and then hit the dance floor. At first
I just watched my big sister
Kate and cousin Morgan do their thing, and then...
...I figured, why not join them!!

"Boy, was it a fun party!
Sorry if you missed it.
Maybe next year, right?"

Oh yeah, my mom likes to record my stats for journal purposes so here they are:

Weight: 20lbs 5 oz. 45%
Height: 30.25" 90%
Head: 18.5" 90% (must be
lots of brains in there!)

Bye...for now.

These two

Tyler was a having....a day (if you know what I mean) the other day and I found a couple conversations quite amusing.

Mom: Tyler, you can't come out of the room until you are ready to apologize and be happy.

Tyler: (insert super whiny voice) But Ma-ooom (mom) I don't want to. I can't be happy anymore. It's soooo hard.

Mom: Oh and why is that?

Tyler: Because my face won't even let me smile!!

Later on...

Mom: Time to get ready for bed guys.

Tyler: (again, whiny voice) NooOOooo, I don't want to go to bed. I'm not even tired!

Mom: Um, your actions today are proof enough that you are way tired so please get up and get in your jammies.

Tyler: I can't move.

Mom: You can't move? Seriously?

Tyler: No! My legs won't even let my body move at all!

Mom: (gives one of those famous "you better get going or...."looks)

Tyler: Serious. I can't. Watch.

Wow. Life's hard when you're five. Stinker. It's a good thing this isn't an everyday thing for him or there may not have been as much laughing on my end and whole lot more crying on his. :)

While we're on the subject...

Kate's new favorite thing is getting her back rubbed. Seriously, she would have it done all day long if she could. Anyway, we were laying in her bed the other night talking about the day and as I was rubbing her back I asked her what her favorite part of the day was. She replied, "I can't tell you because this feels so good."

I hear ya girl! No one should have to speak while getting a massage. How is one suppose to fully relax if she's expected to carry on a conversation at the same time!

HAPPY EASTER!
