T-Ball

A few weeks back mom and dad signed me up for little league t-ball and I'm having lots of fun playing. Dad even bought me a tee of my own so I can practice at home. I practice hitting in the front yard and can hit the ball all the way out to the street now.
My team name is the Mariners and we had our very first game yesterday. We started with opening ceremonies in the morning and then pictures and then my game in the afternoon. Mom said we played well and even though it was very short I still had lots of fun. Even Jayden had fun playing with my equipment when I wasn't using it. When we were all done coach gave us each five dollars to use at the snack bar! I'm really looking forward to my next game. Well I hope everyone is enjoying their spring! I know I am.

With all the sunshine that we have been getting we have been doing a lot of stuff outside. I ride my bike with my friends Andrea and Leah for a couple of hours each day. It is a lot of fun. Today we went to garage sales and then I got a new bat and batting helmet for T-ball. Then we went out to Shasta Lake City to the bmx track. I crashed a few times but I never got any blood on me, just little scrapes on my legs. I made it around the track three times without falling at all.





This is me and Dad at the starting gates, and then us racing through the track. A couple times my front tire caught a little AIR!! It was just like racing. As you can see my Dad caught a little air on some of the small jumps. He was kind of scared to jump the big ones. My Mom and Jay even rode a little bit. When we got home Jay and me jumped on the trampoline with the sprinkler under it. It was cold but a blast. Mom and Dad worked in the yard while we bounced. I helped them for a minute but I like playing better.

Mom's new ride

Well they did it again.....mom and dad bought another car off ebay. They decided that since they didn't use the back seat of the van anymore anyway and it took so much gas that it would be better to have a car that mom calls more economical. So last week they sold the van and this week dad's little truck was sold too and they bought a 2003 Altima. Mom says her favorite part is the leather seats that heat up and dad likes the sound system. I was just excited to have a smaller booster seat like my Aunt Emily instead of my big car seat. So here are some pictures of us in our new car. Were off to enjoy another sunny day! Hope you all enjoy yours.

BOUNCING BOYS

One of my friends from my dad's work is moving and she told my Dad we could have their trampoline. Her name is Laurie and she is the secretary. Sometimes I go with my Dad to help him order supplies and Laurie gives me candy. I draw her pictures and feed her fish Fluffy. My Dad went and got the trampoline on Saturday and set it up in the back yard to surprise us. I was so excited. Jayden, my cousin Michael and I jumped on it for quite a while that night. I am learning to do front flips. My Dad could not stay off of it either he had to try a few flips of his own.

Two wheels like Dad

Well daddy got a new bike a few weeks back and last week we got to watch him in a race. Me and Jayden played on the playground and cheered him on every time he rode by. It looked like so much fun that I decided next year I want to race too. So dad came home and took the training wheels off my bike so I could learn to ride on two wheels. It was hard to do on my big bike so he took the training wheels off of my old 12in bike instead so it would be easier because then my feet could touch the ground. Dad pushed me down the driveway and I did it all by myself! The only one who wasn't excited was Jayden. He just sat in the back of the truck and said "he took my bike" over and over. But now since we haven't had any rain this year yet I've been practicing and I can ride my big bike without training wheels. Dad and I have been riding alot together so next year I will be able to race with him! Here are some pictures of me and dad riding bikes and hanging out together.












Mom and dad also pulled out the hockey table. Jayden and I have been playing alot. Its lot of fun. Hope everyone has been enjoying our unusually warm weather as much as I have. Have a great week!

Christmas....a little late

We had a very good Christmas and now that things have slowed down mom and dad actually have time to tell you about it. We got to have three Christmases this year which meant three days of opening presents and three days of pie and treats (mom wasn't too excited about that part. She says I get a little crazy when I eat sweets... I dont know what shes talking about). My favorite gift was my new snowboard helmet and Jayden's was probably his "Buzz Lightyear star command". He even sleeps with it in bed at night. We started our Christmases at Grammy and Grandpa's in Burney. It was lots of fun. I think we had 14 stockings laying out on Christmas morning. Grammy and mom managed to fit them all on the dining room table. We opened presents, ate prime rib, and grammy always makes a yummy chocolate pie for dessert. Then four days later we went back to Burney to have another Christmas with all my great aunts and uncles. Dad got to go four wheel driving with his cousins and I got to play with my Burney friends some more.











On New Years day we had our last Christmas. Nana and Papa and Great Grandma were there and Uncle Paul, Auntie Em, Michael and William came over. We opened more presents and ate more pie and I even got a Cars XBox game from Great Grandma and Bob the builder snow boots from Nana and Papa. I think everyone had a great Christmas.

The next day was Michaels birthday so we went to the new Chucke Cheese. Jayden and I had lots of fun. Then the weekend after we went snowboarding with my "Burney friends". I practiced on the bunny hill alot and dad says I'm getting the hang of it and maybe next time I will try going up the lift. Mom forgot the camera though so we didn't get any pictures on the mountain. Well I think thats about it. Hope you all had a great holiday as well.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!

Christmas lights, bunkbeds and false alarms

Alot has happened since our last post. Mom and dad have been busy shopping and wrapping and making gifts. We have been doing lots of fun things to celebrate the holidays. Christmas vacation started on Friday and that means that I dont have any school for two weeks! The week after Thanksgiving we decorated our Christmas tree. Great Grandma and Grandpa came over and we had cookies and cider and decorated the tree. Then we had our annual "campout" in the livingroom by the tree. We watched a Christmas movie and slept on the hide a bed.

The next morning we woke up to an early Christmas present. Mom and dad got us a bunkbed and set it up while we were asleep. I get the top bunk and Jayden sleeps on the bottom. Theres lots more room in our bedroom now. The only bad thing was the second day we had it Jayden decided to sneak in and try climbing the ladder to the top (Hes not allowed up there). He fell and hurt his leg and would not walk on it for a few hours. Mom took him to the doctor and they sent him to get an xray. I had to wait in the waiting room but Jayden brought me a sticker. Six hours, two xrays, and a hospital trip later, we were told Jayden had a fracture in his hip. So for three days we thought he had a fractured hip and Jayden told people his "hip busted". Mom and dad said it seemed funny since he was walking pretty well by then. When he saw the third doctor he said he couldn't see anything wrong and to ignore everything the other two had said. So it turned out Jayden is fine and his hip is not "busted". Mom was a little irritated though.
Then a couple nights ago we drove around town and saw Christmas lights. We went to all the houses that were in the Redding light contest. Mom made cookies and hot chocolate for the ride. It was lots of fun. We are going to Grammy's house for Christmas and I get to play with my "Burney friends" for two days. I cant wait. Christmas should be lots of fun. Hope everyone is having a good holiday.

Thanksgiving and Christmas trees

Well weve begun our holiday season and its been quite busy so far. Nana and Papa came up a few weeks ago and had an early Thanksgiving dinner with us. We got to go up to Uncle Paul and Auntie Em's and play with Michael. We always like to see our cousins. Then three days later we

went to Uncle Dales house for Thanksgiving with the other side of
the family. I love to go to Uncle Dales because he lives on a "farm" and I get to do lots of fun things. We got to ride horses and play in the snow and Grandpa and Kody took me and Jayden for rides on the four wheelers. Mom and dad got to ride the four wheelers out in the woods for a couple hours. They were very cold by the time they came back but I think they had fun.




The night we came home from Uncle Dales we went to Safeway for the city's christmas tree lighting. Since the fire department helps put it on dad had to work there. We had hot chocolate and watched Santa ride in on a fire truck. Then we stood in line for about an hour so we could see Santa. I told him I wanted a dirt bike and Jayden said he wanted a horse. And when we were eating dinner at the restaurant the waitress told me to tell santa she wanted a camaro. So I told him but I told mom and dad that I really dont think she'll get it. I didn't really understand why I only got a stuffed animal instead of a dirt bike but it was still fun.
The next day we went up to the mountains to cut our Christmas tree. Mom and dad pulled us on the sled while we looked for it.
Mom picked a really big one and dad said it was the heaviest one he's ever had to drag out of there. He was really tired even with me helping him. We roasted hotdogs and had hot chocolate. Buddy liked playing tug of war with Aunt Debbie's dog Sugar. I guess you could say we had a jam packed weekend but I think we all had lots of fun. Hope your enjoying your holidays as much as we are.

Are your feet HAPPY?

We got to go see Happy Feet at the first showing in Anderson today. I thought it was sweet. The things I don't like is how they always put a scary movie preview before the cartoon movies. I have to cover my eyes so I won't get scared. Jayden said "dats my favorite movie" and he also said "FUNNY". Jay ate a bunch of popcorn, I mostly just drank soda. It was really funny cuz towards the end of the movie there was this little girl dancing in the aisle at the theater, then when we got outside there was this old grandpa aged man who was doing the happy feet dance down the sidewalk. He did not know that we saw him dancing. It was real funny. Overall it was a good movie and there was lots of singing and dancing in it. I think I would like to see it again sometime. And if you all get a chance then you should see it too.

Just pictures

Wow we have done so much since our last post we don't know where to start.
We went to Hawes corn maze with the old youth group. That was a lot of fun.












We had Dad's birthday. We went fishing. We got lots of candy on Halloween and got to see our Great Grandparents and some other family.




















Mom and Dad went with the Fire Dept. to cut Andersons Christmas tree. I thought it was kind of early to cut a tree but oh well.
