Play Ball!

Still behind, busy, but happy! Tracy is heading out of town for work this morning so Eric is on his own as Mr. Mom!!
Here are a few pix until there is more time to catch up on all the fun!

Riley and Lexa have begun to play t-ball! They are too cute, but have the attention span of nats!

They are also the only girls on the team

Kyle cries at the beginning of each game and practice b/c he wants so desperately to play!

Pink, pink, pink! Riley seems to have a bit of stage fright - after hitting, she kind of shuffles to base instead of running... it is extremely frustrating to Tracy... however, Tracy is working on being a better mom and just laughing like everyone else:-)

Kyle has a lot of buddies out at the field. John, Duffy, and Aiden are on the same team as the girls so Ruthie, Ben, Kate, and Ivy are out at the games and practice.

They look like they are concentrating... but normally they are playing in the dirt or twirling!

Beach Bums

No excuses, no excuses... I'm just behind! However, so much has been going on in the last few weeks, I'll probably have to post pix and stories every couple days to catch up!
Our first adventure was down to Emerald Isle for the week of Labor day and Darcy's Birthday! Happy Birthday Aunt Darcy!!! We had some beautiful days, a couple over cast and one that poored cats and dogs all day! The kids had a blast - even on the rainy day and the adults did as well! We had a FABULOUS vacation and all three kids loved the sand and water (however Darcy & Tracy are still petrified of sharks and we did see a couple!)

Enjoy the pix - courtesy of Aunt Darcy - I still haven't downloaded my pix!!

Tracy & Kyle on the boat

Loads of sand play!

We docked the boat in the middle of the ocean and collected seashells!

MonkeyMan!

Kyle loved the beach more this year than ever!

Lexa played so well with Kyle!!

Lexa and Ri - topless!

Oh such summer fun...

The summer days are nearly over and we have been so busy, I've had no time to post pix! The last few weeks have been filled with trips to Kings Dominion and visits to the pool! Playing with Bebe, Grandma, Papa, and loads of friends! Most importantly, little Lexa Marie tured FIVE!! Happy Birthday Lexa! We had tons of fun at Lexa's pool party and had another birthday party at Pump it Up the same day. Looks like birthday season has arrived!

Through all the fun, we have also had a couple doctor visits - for Kyle of course! These visits included swimmers ear and a nasty cold and then just this week he was diagnosed with Celulitis and is on an intense antibiotic... if there is something to catch, Kyle will find it! He is more or less healthy now and more or less Potty Trained! Eric and Tracy rotated shifts at home with his this past weekend and sure enough, he's got it! He just LOVES his big boy pants - especially "race car" and "pablo" (say that with lots of extra p's and b's - hilarious!) He has also enjoyed the M&M's and candy corns that come along with going potty in the big potty. But never fear, if Kyle forgets the candy, Riley will be first to remind everyone that if you do the potty dance, you get candy! There has been loads of potty dancing going on in our house!

Next week is the BEACH!! enjoy the pix -
