T-Ball and Trucks

This week was Miles' last week of t-ball.  This was his best sports night ever.  He joined in with his "superheros" team the whole time, fielded grounders, ran the bases, hit the ball and even caught (after a few rolls) a line drive.  Grandma came to watch too - we were so proud!  At the end they all took a group photo and received certificates and treats.  At the first sign of treats Hadley joined the team.  One by one each child's name was called until all the certificates and treats had been handed out and Hadley was left standing on the field.  We took home one sad two-year old.  She can't wait until next year when she can participate.








We had a fun and busy weekend.  Yesterday we went to my cousin Troy's wedding and danced the night away.  Today the boys went to Baldwin, WI to pick up Mike's new hobby - a 1968 Ford pick-up.  Miles was beyond thrilled to hang out with the guys, hook a trailer to grandpa's truck and ride along.  Hadley, my mom and I went for girls time to the Arboretum and despite the heat enjoyed the flowers.  With two little ones it's nice to spend quality 1:1 time with each of them.

The things they say...

Miles:
  • "Mom, you're the best cooker.  That was the best pie."  (I made homemade peach pie this week.)
  • After eating at McDonald's with the guys for the first time today, Miles came home and told me "it's a very good restaurant.  We should go there sometime."
  • When you ask him what kind of truck daddy bought, he simply says "a Ford."
  • Miles has gotten really good at racing and weaving his Razr scooter up and down the hall and around the furniture.  Today I said to him "you're good at riding your scooter."  He replied, "yeah, I am."
Hadley:
  • Belly flops are "tummy flops"
  • Hadley purposely dumped her water on the floor tonight and when Mike told her to pick it up she yelled "never!" and ran away.
  • When she's whiny or upset she repeats "mamamamamamamama" even if she doesn't want me or I'm not around.
  • She counts to 11 easily, knows all of her colors although wishes that everything in the world came in pink, and makes up songs and often sings to herself - especially in the car.
I took a break from lugging my big camera around this weekend and had some fun with Instagram.  Just the break I needed - low pressure, camera phone photos with fun filters.

I don't know who's more excited about the new truck - Mike or Miles
