T-BALL 2009

Tonight was Dilly's 1st T-Ball game. Braves vs. the Florence Tigers. In T-Ball they don't keep score or have outs, so it was a tie! Dylon did great! He hit the ball really well and ran around the bases super fast. He played 3rd base tonight, but didn't like it very much. No one hit the ball to him. He ended up running across the infield to 1st base trying to get the ball. Every game the coach will rotate the place that the players play. He is hoping for 1st base next game. After the game, they learned the 2-4-6-8 Who do we appreciate cheer. Daddy decided that we should get Dilly ice cream after each game, so we went to IGA and Dilly got to pick out his favorite cherry ice cream. He had.....a ball! :)

Merry Christmas

Well, we made it through Christmas. Dylon and Heidi had a ball. We were tracking Santa on the internet on Christmas Eve and Dylon was so concerned that he was not going to be in bed before Santa got to Florence. We saw when Santa was in St. Croix and almost to Des Moines. Dylon corralled Heidi and got them both to bed. In the morning, Dylon woke up 1st and sent Heidi in to wake up Mom and Dylon came in to get Charlie and I. They were so excited to see Santa had brought Heidi's baby and Dylon's gun. Heidi loves her baby....it talks to her and cries and tells her exactly what she wants. If she says she's hungry and you don't feed her fast enough she cries. It is really cute to see Heidi take care of her. Her baby seems to want to hear a story ALOT and so Heidi is getting lots of time in reading to her baby. Dylon played all day with every toy that he got. He started coloring his new pillow case, but did not get very far because Grandma and Grandpa came over and he had to show off all of his new gifts. We all had a great day. We enjoyed our time with Gram and Papa Bruce for breakfast and then Boyd and Wendy joined us for dinner. We had a great time, but we all really missed our family.....Uncle TJ, Tia, Uncle Kyle and Kranberry. Today we stayed in our pajamas and played and had a great family day. Tomorrow I think we are going to go in and do a few exchanges and maybe go swimming.....FUN!!!! We hope everyone is doing well and WE LOVE YOU ALL!!!!

CHRISTMAS!!!!

This is our 11 foot Christmas tree! Can you see how much bigger it is than me? It is almost Christmas. 2 more nights and then it's Christmas. You better be in bed so Santa can come. Santa is bringing me a gun and a bike light. Heidi is going to get a baby doll with a bottle. There is a ton of snow outside at our house. We got all of the decorations up. I made a thing it looks like a chicken and you hang it up on the tree. It's not really a chicken, but it's a bird. We got a new angel and it's glass. Merry Christmas! I love you.

The faces

We went to Mount Rushmore and Bear Country when we went on vacation. When we were on the way for me to babysit, we saw the faces. I looked at them, but in the summertime I will go back and walk right up to them, "right, Mommy?" When I got to Joe's house, Kranberry fell asleep. I played a game with a bat and a ball, we hit it to each other, but I didn't do very good on that. I didn't remember what it was called, but Mom says it's ping pong. We played in their downstairs. Down there there is a TV that you can bowl on. There was snow at Tia's house and we tried to build a snow man. We got our tree and it's 11 feet. Of course we will be gone tomorrow until night because we have to get Great Gram a Christmas tree.

Heidi and Dylon

Ok, so I'm giving this a try....we'll see.
