Take me out to the ball game!

Amelia is playing baseball this Spring and this is pictures of her first game. Her team is the Mud Cats and she loves playing. Here is the team cheer before the game starts.

Here she is getting ready to bat all she wants to do is be a batter not a catcher. Who can blame her batting is way more fun then catching!
Her first time up to bat it was a swing and a miss! The second swing made contact and the she ran to first. We are just glad she ran the right direction!!

Amelia's 4!!

Princess Amelia is OFFICIALLY four!!

I can't believe my baby girl is growing up so fast. It just seems like yesterday that I had her. All she wanted for her birthday was a princess party. She is obsessed with princesses and so we gave in and threw her a party. Okay so she didn't have to beg too hard for a party. I think I had as much fun planning the party as the girls had at the party! Here are a few pictures of her special day.

Here the girls are making sugar cube castles.

This is the pretty little tea party table. The girls had so much fun playing tea party.

Here is the fancy smancy cake that I made. I am queen of ordering cake and so it was fun to make one for a change.

Here the girls are decorating princess crowns. I mean what's a princess without her crown?

Some of the girls wearing their masterpieces!Here is Amelia's favorite part of a birthday. Blowing out candles and having cake. It's just not a birthday without it!

At the end of the party Cinderella came and surprised all the girls. They were speechless. They could barely talk. It was so cute. We had the perfect Cinderella, thank you for making the day so special for Amelia. I am sure it's a day she will never forget!

Christmas photos

This was the picture that I loved and wanted to use for our Christmas cards but it didn't work with our other pictures so I decided to post it for everyone to see.

Silly things kids say

So Amelia and Ezra have been fighting nonstop. Ever since Ezra started walking he has had this new found freedom where he feels he needs to hit his sister every chance he gets. Well of course Amelia hits him back and so here is the convo I had with Amelia about hitting her brother.

me: Amelia you really need to not hit your brother BACK he is just a little baby and you are a big girl.

Amelia: Oh okay I get it we just hit his front!
I couldn't possibly be saying don't hit him at all!

Here comes Santa Clause!!

This was the highlight of Amelia's life. She was so excited to see Santa. She had a huge list of things to ask for, but she got up there and froze. She had to look to me for all the answers it was so cute she kept asking me want do I want? Then a few hours later she remember that she forgot to ask for Wonder Pup and was very distraught about it. I'm wondering because she didn't ask Santa for it, does that mean Santa doesn't have to get it for her?!? Her list gets longer everyday! It's fun to have her finally get it.

Here is Santa coming to visit the kids.

Amelia was so excited to see him she could barely eat her food.
Amelia telling Santa everything that she wants for Christmas!

Oh Christmas Tree!

Here is our Christmas Tree this year. It gets redecorated just about everyday. Ezra loves to take the decorations off and throw them like balls. Then he eats the broken glass.Yes that's right he eats it, because absolutely everything goes in his mouth. He has done this many times and the only reason I know is because he is crunching down on the broken glass as happy as could be. Should I be worried? Yea he's weird we know.

Happy Fall!!

So Halloween morning Justin is getting ready for work and right before he leaves he tells Amelia that he will see her at work for trick or treating. So he leaves and Amelia asks me what daddy was going to be for Halloween. I tell her a nerd, because he won't have to dress up much. (haha I'm hilarious I know) anyway she tells me no he is going to be a ladybug. I said oh really( that's way better then my nerd idea.) So I ask her if he told her that or if she made it up herself. She said no Jesus told me! He best be dressing up like a ladybug, it's revelation from Jesus.

Here are pics of the kids dressed up. Amelia is a 50's girl and Ezra is a Greaser!


Here are pictures at the pumpkin patch. This was the first year that we actually went to one. It was really fun the kids loved looking at all the pumpkins and choosing the right pumpkin.
Here we are carving our pumpkins. I can't believe how much fun they had scooping the junk out of the pumpkins. It was lots of fun! Oh and don't mind those dirty faces, some of the pumpkins guts might of made it in the mouth, but what doesn't?


Amelia had her Halloween dance party. She was so excited to wear her costume to dance. They had so much fun!


We went to Gardener Village to see the Witches over UEA Weekend. I will NEVER EVER do that again. We got some good pictures of Amelia with some of the witches. I didn't dare take Ezra out of the stroller in that zoo of people so I don't have any pictures of him. Amelia had fun with the scavenger hunt trying to find all the witches.
