Easton Bannock Boys Baseball

Easton is almost done with his baseball season and here are a few pictures. Derek is coaching and it started out a little rough. Derek had a little yelling problem and Easton didn't handle it well and ended up in tears most games. While we were on vacation Derek read a baseball book by Augie Garrido, Texas Longhorn Baseball coach. It did him good. He has been alot more laid back and no yelling. Easton is enjoying having his Dad coach again! Easton is quite the little hitter. He hits alot of line drives to the outfield and has a great swing! He has been playing 3rd base and getting more aggressive. It is fun to be back at the baseball field. I miss it!!!!

EASTER 2011

Here is a picture of the kids in their Easter outfits. It was difficult to get them all to cooperate!!! Here they are Easter morning with their baskets. A little disappointed that Mom had talked to the Easter Bunny and informed him NO Pokemon cards allowed!!!We headed up to Idaho Falls on Saturday for an Easter egg hunt that Jylisha (Derek's sister) puts on every year. It was fun and the kids loved seeing their cousins!

Little Peyton was just happy with one egg. It took her awhile to get it open but she finally did.
They had two different hunts 1 for 6 and under and 1 for 8-12 year olds. Cannon was all pumped ready to get a big prize he saw out on the field and the minute they said go this is what we got....Another melt down. That is pretty much an everyday occurance with this kids lately. He decided he wanted to go with the big kids and did just fine after all that!

Easton ran fast and got a huge thing of bubbles.

After the hunt they had alot of fun playing on the toys. Thanks Jylisha for the fun day!!!

Then on Easter, Grandma Eddie did an Easter egg hunt for the kids. Here is a picture of the big kids waiting for the little ones to have a chance to get a few eggs.

Only Cannon

Cannon had his first tball game on Saturday! I thought he would be so excited because he LOVES baseball. He got up to bat the first time and hit it really good. Then, the fun part. Here is Derek trying to talk Cannon into running the bases. He was not having it. He had a major meltdown. He took his helmet off and just started running across the field. I didn't think anything of it until all the parents started laughing and pointing. This is what I saw across the field. That little stinker was climbing the fence. Grandpa Rice got there just in time before he was about to go over. That is Hiline on the other side of the fence. That little stinker is so stubbord it is crazy. Good thing he is so cute!!!!!

Ladybug Birthday

I can't believe she is already "1". It seems like we just brought her home from the hospital. Here are some pictures from her Ladybug Birthday. It turned out so cute. Thanks everyone who helped me pull this together. We love this little stink and couldn't imagine life without her. She is so much fun. She went to the Dr. the day after her birthday and she was 21 pounds 14 ounces and 30 inches long. She is not a baby anymore. She is walking around now more than crawling and has had a few bruises from falling. Love you Princess Peyton!!! (My Mom made this amazing hat to match this amazing dress my friend Krystal made.) Once she opened this present from Aunt Camie and Uncle Beau, she didn't want anything else.

Here she is cruising in her new car Grandma and Grandpa Rice gave her. We are so excited to ride it down to the park! My friend Toni made all the cute cupcake liners, toppers, candy wrappers, water bottle covers, and banner! I think it turned out amazing!!

This is how it started.....

This is how it ended!!!! YUM!!!! Thanks Aunt Sheerstie for the super cute bib! It was perfect!
