So, not much new has gone on here. Kyle had another T-Ball game last Saturday, and it was like trying getting him to play was like trying to pull teeth! It seemed that a lot of kids were just not into playing that day. Kyle did enjoy batting and running the bases, but otherwise tried to sit on the blanket the whole time. At one point he was up to bat and he swung, not waiting for us to tell him to go (he can be very impatient!), and one of his teammates walked right in front and Kyle's ball (which was a great hit by the way) hit him right in the head! Well, imagine if you were out somewhere and you hit a dude with a ball, and they turned around ready to throw a punch because you hit them first...that was this little kid! He took off his hat, looked mad, and then pulled his arm back for a punch! A THREE YEAR OLD! I was shocked! Crazy kid. Good thing his mom was there! She told him it was an accident. I felt bad he got belted of course (while being proud of Kyle's great hit), but it was just a tennis ball.

Anyway, so game over. As we were headed home, I decided to call an old friend, and surprise, she was in town! So, we stopped by the dojo (karate school) and met up with her and some other friends. Her son was there, so Ethan and Kyle played the whole rest of the day (his new best friend). They had a great time, and they played really well together. Kyle invited him over to play in his "cabin" and they did great! So, we will now be going up to San Francisco soon to go to Ethan's birthday party. It should be a lot of fun!

Let's see...if I did this more often, there might not be so much to write at once! Kyle spent some time at the library with Ryan and then they went to the park and on a walk to get ice cream on Monday. Kyle walked a LONG way, he was a trooper! He had a lot of fun yesterday. I also went and got him a bunch of stuff to make crafts, which he enjoyed doing.

And on to today...we had a very relaxing day, aside from the fact that Joshua insisted on being held ALL DAY! If I tried to put him down, he would not let me, he would stand up while I was trying to sit him down, so I couldn't let got or he would fall over! The stinker! Then he would start crying...so of course, the sucker I am, kept picking him up! He's just hilarious and so much fun. He makes funny faces and now, he is into trying to make you laugh, and he'll just start laughing hoping you'll join along. He loves playing with Kyle and watching the dogs too.

Well, he is also trying to walk everywhere. Not by himself, but by holding on to things and pushing them. Like a chair, or his little car thing. He has falled over so many times just today! Poor thing, he won't stop! He has a little bruise on his cheek, and I'm sure by tomorrow he will have more! On the back of his head, his forhead, another cheek! I felt so bad! But like I said...he wouldn't stop, and did it again!

Well, I'm pretty much caught up on the boys, last is what we did today...Kyle puffpainted a shirt! First time to do it, and quite possibly the last! He made a mess! Wow, pretty much emptied the bottles in big globs all over the shirt! So, of course it won't dry like that and there is no way to put that stuff back in the bottle, so he had to smear it...with his hands... What a mess! I helped him make some handprints, which was fun, and then he pretty much finger painted (or more to the point, hand smeared) the rest all over his shirt. I said, "ok, that's enough!" "No mommy, I'm making a dinosaur!"...hmmm...

Well, finally he finished and we washed up and his friends were going home...but of course, the day is not complete without one of his tantrums! I love my boy...can not stand his tantrums! However, at least he is consistent! He's the best, as is Joshua. I couldn't have asked for two more perfect little boys. They are precious and perfect and so much fun!

Until next time!

Kyle moved out!

Unbelievable! Kyle moved out before I did! ...and into his new playhouse! YEAH!!! He's so excited. He loves the place. It was an early birthday present from Grandma, Grandpa, GG and G-Pa. He loves going outside to play in it. His best friend (a snail...in fact any snail he can find) likes his new house too. When we were at Costco (like BJ's) and it was next to this huge play structure, he said he wanted the playhouse (I was just curious which one he would have wanted, we have no yard for the play structure) so, lucky him that GG came over the very next day saying that she wanted to get it for him! Thank you GG!!!

Uncle Randy worked hard all day to put it together on Monday and it still didn't get done until Teusday. Ryan came over and helped put the finishing touches on it and then Kyle was in there playing! Next to the front door of his playhouse (or would everyone prefer cabin since he's a boy?) is a mailbox, well he got his frist two letters in there, and he was so excited he was jumping up and down. He loves to get mail!

Anyway, so it's been pretty nice outside lately, but then suddenly it's cold again today, but that doesn't stop him and he's been outside playing in his new house/cabin and in his sandbox. Joshua likes to go outside there too, but that's usually just to watch the dogs, eat the flowers, dirt, and Kyle's sidewalk chalk that he seems to think MUST be carrots! They are so much fun to watch. I love them to pieces!

We also went to the park for a little bit as you can see and Joshua is loving the swing. He's just like Kyle...except when you put Joshua on the ground, he eats the sand and Kyle...well, he would just prefer to swing or make new friends and play tag with them! Well, that's it for now, until next time!

T-BALL

Joshua


Kyle just started playing T-ball with the People's Church league...the first day, he didn't want to be there because there is a playgound on the field where they play...real smart! So, like any other three year old who has to wait awhile before starting to play T-Ball, he wanted to play on the playground! So during the game, he just would not participate! Finally, Ryan had to bribe him, because he kept sitting down, that if he got the next three balls, he could go play...WOW! What a difference, suddenly Kyle was in the game and playing well! :)

The next game was a lot of fun. We were there extra early so he did get to play on the playground and I had brought some bubbles and he enjoyed blowing and chasing them. When it was time to play, Kyle did great! He had a good time and he fielded the balls and hit them and ran the bases like a pro! It was great fun! Here are a bunch of three year olds going at the ball at the same time, it's so cute. Kyle and another boy went at the same time, the other boy got the ball, and Kyle was a bit upset. Well, Ryan explained that it was ok since he was his teammate and he needed to tell him good job. Kyle didn't want to so Ry explained how if the ball is hit to one side it's that players, and if it is hit to Kyle's side it's his, so Kyle said, "Good job! What's your name?" And made a new friend...It was a lot of fun and I'm glad he is getting into it.

Here we are!
