the uniform

Ahh the uniform.. the beloved uniform.. Abe loves loves loves this thing. He was so excited to get it that he changed clothes at practice to wear it home! I admit, I have called it a costume three times accidentally... what can I say?

first at bat

Abe started the team at bat today.. he was really excited .. the team did a great job.. they have come a loooong way since practice has started..

lollies help

Lollipops helped keep Violet and Abe occupied..

first run

Abe was the first batter.. also the first run for the team!

the pitcher

Well not really the pitcher, a grownup actually pitches but Abe was getting the ball to first base nicely.. He had a great time today - he was GEARED up and I was proud of him for trying really hard and taking it seriously.

the cheering section..

the catcher..

The last position Abe played today was catcher. I think it is safe to say that he does not have a future in this position.. :)

Shoe Lover !

Every morning Violet goes into my closet and pulls out shoes.. always high heels.. Heck these days she wears them more than I do! :)

Easter morning..

I love the bed head in the pictures. They all three wake up with serious bed head in the morning..

Violet's basket

Papa and Grams got this kidsa set of books that are on DVD . It is great. They are childrens books read on dvd. It really helps with the watching movies in car battle. This way they arelistening to books instead! :) Thanks to nana nd Mr. ross for the dvd's and toe Grandma and Grandpa lights for the $$.. Parker and Abe are dying to get to the store to spend their cash. Thanks to everyone..

undershirts

Abe has been hounding me and hounding me for undershirts. His buds Cody and Ty wear them and he is always snagging some from their house.. The easter bunny brought a pack and I caught Abe's initial reaction.. I am not a huge fan of these t shirts.. he always finds an excuse to take off his shirt to just wear the T-shirt.. these are the "wife beater" variety of t shirts.. :) I will try to catch a picture the next time he wears one..

The easter bunny brought a book Abe really wanted. Violet was just excited to have candy- she hasa huge sweet tooth..

My girls:)

worn out!

After the egg coloring/ hunting festivities the kids stayed up to watch the music awards trying to catch a glimpse of who else but Taylor Swift. Abe fell asleep really early on the couch.. Grams was here so I just left him on the couch and was planning on sleeping in Abe's bed, but he kept falling off the couch! It was sooo funny- I was laughing so loudly, I thought for sure he would wake up! :)

Abraham

Abraham is a serious crack -up. He drives me crazy sometimes, but always makes me laugh and is quite lovable.. EVERY year , I am not kidding he always gets dye in the middle of his shirt. Every year- I am fairly certain I can prove this in pictures..:)

Abe getting the goods!

Abe had a great time egg hunting at the egg hunt.

not so much ..

Violet did not really get the whole egg hunt idea this year.. It took a VERY long time for the little guys to get 12 eggs in their baskets, PLus Violet kept dropping her eggs!
