Good Boy with a Sweet Cut

Big Joe has had a busy April.

St Louis Cardinals baseball has started

and we had to pause live TV so that he could write the line up

off the screen.  So Stinking Cute.

He kept stats for the players for exactly 2 days in his journal.

And you better believe his school secretary (secretariat) Kerry - who happens

to be a bestie of mine from high school - heard all about the Cards over the Reds!

We had a lot of laughs playing Play Nine, we've been waiting on warmer weather

this spring.  It's late April and it's still COLD.  

Joe has been having fun at Basketball Factory after school

each Tues and Thurs - he also works at home

on his dribbling skills.

And we did sneak in a lunch visit to the park on the only warm Friday we

have had!  We took friend Broday and enjoyed Wendy's 4 for $4!

And we had a blast working on Joe's I am poster

for school

We hooked up our new printer - woohoo mama!

And printed a few recent pics

then Joe showed me how to use google docs to printout

his list he created to describe himself.

Love his self awarness

and amongst all the important traits let's not forget

that we are 

a 

GOOD KID WITH A SWEET CUT

Joe came along with my work pals as we went to see the high school

perform FootLoose!

And finally OPENING NIGHT of Little League!

He has been looking forward to this.  He is on cousin Drew's team.

This picture shows their relationship.

 Thankful for Blake, Noah and Graham and Grandma Jean

for being there to see the first game.

I was at work and Dan was at Sam's golf match and wouldn't 

you know he got to pitch!  We will catch it next time.

Love this season!

And PayDay at school and Joe chose STEM, of course.

Absolutely his very favorite! He was paired with a Kindergartner, love that!

Easter 2018

We had Easter Eve supper

at Grandma and Grandpa's.

She had candy and gift cards for her big boys

and funner toys for the other grands!

We had a fun evening along with a round of rook and marbles.

We were up early for sunrise service at Berea.

Our drama team and praise team had an excellent 

depiction of the song Come to the Table.

It was really moving and then many others had special singing.

I enjoyed the service and breakfast with church family very much.

Sam and Joe said the remainder of their Bible Memory Verses

and were thrilled to take a picture for mom, hee.

Seriously, real life, how long does it take to shed dress pants?

2 seconds or less, I guess. Oh my.

We headed to Carl's for lunch and time with family.

A wise (ahem) egg hunter.

It was a great day to celebrate our Risen Lord! 

Spring Break Saturday

We spent Spring Break Saturday with the Taylors.

They came over to play in the morning.

We had some serious fun with all of the toys.

Sam was downstairs too...kinda engaged in another kind of fun.

Then we painted, sweet Easter Eggs.

And we grabbed some MiP for lunch and then we went to visit

Cole's girlfriend Taylor's goats.

They were awesome.

We've been wanting to making it up there and it was so worth it.

They were delightful, no possible way you could stay

mad or sad if you watched these goats play.

We got to milk them and bottle feed them.

And pet them and hold them like dogs.
