Spring Favorites!

We had a fantastic weekend. Very busy of course, but full of fun and sun! We started Saturday morning watching Caleb and Anna. When Amy returned we decided to take all five kids to Keeneland. All in all, they had fun. However, hindsight is 20/20. We should have never taken five kids to Keeneland on such a beautiful day (and it was Stakes? day). Keeneland was too crowed for us to have the kids. The boys worked their way up front; which was great. They enjoyed picking out their favorite horse either by number, name, or color. They yelled each race as the horses ran by. Of course they didn't really like 25 minutes of down time and then a 2 minute race.

After getting home after 4 from Keeneland, we headed to Life Group at 5. This was one of my favorite LG nights. It was so pretty outside, and the kids had a blast together. The boys left talking about how much they like life group. The kids are a great age to play together, and we adults love talking too. LG was at Lennie and Brad's house this time. Her backyard goes down a huge hill (perfect for rolling) to a creek (perfect for duck feeding). Logan brought his duck caller, so the ducks were the best entertainment for the kids. After eating and playing we went to Dogwood Park to finish the night.

Madelyn is such a great little momma. After rolling down the hill, Maggie couldn't get up. Madelyn helped her up the hill, got a comb out of her purse, and combed all the grass out of her hair. It was too cute!

All eleven of the LG kids..... we started LG with 5!

Sunday we celebrated Mom's Birthday. The biggest surprise of all was Pa-Paw coming to the party!!! None of us expected him to be there. He hasn't been out of the house in months! It was a wonderful surprise. The family enjoyed eating together, playing t-ball, and corn hole.


Tonight the boys had their first t-ball game. Bless their hearts...... they just don't know what to do! Austin was the lead hitter. I don't know why he was chosen... he didn't know what to do. After hitting the ball (success #1), he ran to 1st (success #2). However, the strong hitter behind him, lapped him because he wasn't running fast enough. So, the boy behind him was tagged out. For some reason, Austin was not. He ended up making the first score of the game! When it was Matthew's turn to hit, he got up there, got ready, and hit the ball well! But..... never ran to 1st! He stood there and watched the entire play! With coach and everyone yelling, he didn't move. We worked on this yesterday at practice, but he just didn't get it. They got crushed (14-3 maybe??). Oh well, we have plenty of games. And, as Jason reminds me..... it's T-ball!
