Ben's 1st t-ball game- 3/14/09

A few more of "the big game"!

He was such a big boy out there...being so independent and very confident as you can see in some of these pictures. He's always had a competitive side and it's been good for him to have this outlet, and fun to see him begin to learn the concept of being a "team player" somewhere besides home. It's so cliche, I know, but I can't believe how quickly they grow!

Last birthday picture of a pooped out boy!

More celebrating Will turning the big FOUR!

Nothing better than a yummy cupcake...

with lots of food coloring and sugar to get your kids all "hopped" up!

My kind of afternoon without "the boys"!

David got off early this afternoon, and knowing that I've been a little "over-stimulated" lately with not getting much of a break between preschool and just taking care of our own kids, offered to take the boys out for some "daddy-son" time. I seem to write about that a lot... yes he is fantastic at giving me sanity time, but I also get so excited that I feel the need to share my joy and maybe wanted to brag a little about this yummy treat that I'm going to eat as I sit here in my work-out clothes. Maybe when I'm done with my treat I'll get around to the work-out, maybe not.

I know... last big picture, for a while, at least.

But, since it was his birthday and all, I thought I'd post one of my favorite "baby-Will" pictures of all time. And yes, he is a little sun-burned because we'd just gone for a hike and he was THAT pale so even with sun-block, he still got too much color.

More Happy Birthday to Will...

And me practicing my new found "skill" of making photos big. Gotta find excitement in the little things, right! You'd think I'd "largify" one where my kids hair is brushed, but hey it was his b-day and brushes are one of his least favorite things!

My niece Talullah, or "baby Lu-Lu"... (she's sun-shiny)

in gigantor size, which I'm so excited to finally learn how to do (thanks Lillie), plus we had a wonderful visit with my sister and her husband Tim, little Mr. Henry and baby girl Tallulah so I'm just beginning to post some of the evidence of their stay.
