In the Woods

Today, the kids and I walked some trails in the woods. We had a great time.

We saw several deer.

Look how strong Jessica is.

Check out what was found on the trail.

Kyle and his treasures!

First Game

Kyle had his first baseball game today. Here's a few pics. He had a single, was walked once, and had three doubles. His last hit was about a foot short of going over the left field fence .... maybe next time!

At practice he's been playing first base, pitcher, and catcher. Today at the game he played half the game at first base and then the second half as catcher.

I think he likes catching because he looks like Darth Vader!

New Wheels

Kyle and Jessica just became the proud owners of a new set of wheels. Check 'em out.

Volleyball

Jessica has been enjoying her volleyball. Its a pretty quick season. They only play the month of April. By the way ... check out her knee pads .... They are actually elbow pads! All the knee pads were to big! Hey, they work.

Carpet Cleaning Kids

Jessica and Kyle did their Science Fair project together this year. They stained a carpet and then tested 3 different cleaners. Leanne was very happy that the cheapest brand also did the best job (I think it was a Wal-Mart brand). Anyway they earned blue ribbons.

We also have to give a big thank-you to their cousins Cassie & Courtney for suggesting the idea!

You Gotta Laugh

Thought you might get a kick out of this.

Jessica's Fashion

Jessica's youth group at church had a "Girl's Day" not too long ago. All the girls got primmed and prepped, and got to glam it up a bit. Here's a few pictures.

Giving it a Try

Okay, despite some initial reluctance, we are entering the bloggers world. I have always held the opinion that those who blog are pretty self-centered. I mean something about writing about yourself and posting if for others to read just seems a little narcissistic. However, we have some family and friends who have begun blogging and we actually do enjoy "catching up with them" by reading their posts. Plus Jessica asked me to set one up.

So ... away we go! My guess is that the postings will be few and far between eventually fading into nothingness (we really don't have that exciting of a life that can be shared nor the time to share it).

Anyway, the following is our attempt.
