St. Patricks Day

Green Eggs & Green Potatoes

In honor of St. Paddy's Day we had a green dinner. Our spread included: Green Eggs, ham, Green potatoes, and bacon. Kyle thought it was so cool that I made green eggs and ham like the book! He was the most excited when I told him what we were having for dinner. He wanted to help me stir the eggs so he could watch them turn green. It took a little prodding for Riley Jo to eat though. Kyle threatened to eat it if she didn't, so she tried it and liked it. This will be our new tradition on St. Patricks Day.

Opening Day of Baseball

Basketball season is over and Baseball Season has started. Wow! On March 8th we had opening day, the big parade, pictures, and inflatables. The kids had fun and the sun was out, thank goodness. Both boys have had games already. Kyle is playing coach pitch this year and is on the Giants again. He loves it. Tyler is in AAA and playing on the Red Sox this year. His coach is very competitive but I think he will learn a lot. So far they are undefeated. Tyler has been playing well and he enjoys being on a winning team. He hopes they can keep it up.

My New Niece

Abby Paige Proud Uncle & Aunt

My sister Sheri delivered a baby girl Friday February 22, 2008 at 7:58 am. It was a long labor. She went into the hospital at 11:00 pm Wed. night and was at 1cm but, because the heart rate kept dropping they kept her. They started potosin at about 11:00 am Thursday morning. About 4:30 pm they stopped the potosin because Sheri's blood pressure and the babies heart rate were both dropping.They gave Sheri some medicine and put her back on the potosin where everything went back up to normal. They broke her water at at 2 am, by mistake. They were trying to put a monitor on the baby and broke her water in the process. She was at 3 cm, she quickly went to 7 and got the epidural. Then Abby was born at 7:58 a.m. weighing in at 9 lbs 5 oz. 21 inches long.

Presidents Weekend

For Presidents weekend we took the kids to our friends cabin in Arnold. Every year the kids look forward to going to the snow. This year with Tyler playing basketball and both Kyle & Tyler playing baseball we only had one Saturday off between the sports. Yep, Presidents weekend. So we had to go to the snow that weekend or we would miss a game, or miss the snow. Luckily, no one was using the cabin so we were able to use it. We went up on Saturday and came home on Monday. Kyle was so excited about the snow that he actually started looking for it with his binoculars when we were still an hour away. Saturday we played at the cabin. We made a snowman, made snow angels, had a snowball fight, and even made a sled run down the drive. We all had a blast. Sunday we went up the road and found a fun hill to go down. And then played in front of the cabin again. Monday we packed up and left, hoping to beat the traffic.
