The Game Header

Dayna is gonna kill me for this one:

So Dayna is playing on a softball team this year. She played in high school as a pitcher. But unfortunately, this is slow pitch, so she wasn't quite in her element.

We were so excited for her first game! We all went including her Mom and Dad. Dayna was getting some hits, making some plays and we were cheering her on. So about midway through the game, after a bad inning pitching, she was put back in center field. A pop fly gets hit out to her. We're watching with anticipation as her mitt comes up to her face to catch the ball. The next thing I see is the ball bouncing about 20 feet in the other direction. I'm thinking, "that can't have bounced off her mitt like I think it did."

So at the end of the inning, Dayna and her team heads for the dugout and immediately, a crowd forms around her. I'm wondering what is going on. Come to find out, the ball had smacked her directly on the forehead giving her a massive goose egg. I felt so bad for her, what a trooper! She still finished the game and they won!

Although it was pretty embarrassing for her, I'm proud I married such a tough chick! (And such a funny one, too). Love ya, Dayna!

Too Funny

DISNEYLAND!!!

We recently got back from our annual Disney trip with my mom, sister and of course all of the kids. This year was so much fun a big difference than what we experienced last year{thank goodness}. The kids had so much fun I love watching their facial expressions on all the rides.
At the airport as we were waiting to board our plane, fortunately we were sitting right next to the pilots that invited Jax and Kade to the cockpit. It was so cool they let them push buttons and speak on the intercom. What a way to start the trip. The kids were so good on the plane. The first day we spent at the pool relaxing and enjoying the sunshine.





Next was Disneyland we spent 2 1/4 days their. Kylie was hilarious every time we would get of the ride she would arch her back and say "more" then start crying realizing we had to get off it was cute. I think that Dumbo was every ones favorite ride.








We also got to spend the day at the beach. It was great weather and believe it or not the water wasn't too cold. The boys had fun running against the waves and throwing sand in the water. Kylie enjoyed eating the sand, I thought she would have outgrown this from last year, but continually would shove handfuls in there {YUCK}.





But unfortunately all good things must come to an end and we had to come home. Thanks mom for all your help.

And you thought YOU had bad hair days...

Woke up one morning to a couple of cockatoos. What kind of party did they have going in that crib?!

 

Happy Easter!!!

Vegas Baby!!!

My mom and the girls and I went to Vegas for a couple days, We had our first girl trip. {Kade stayed with his Grandma and Grandpa Bodtcher.} It was so much fun, I could not have picked a better time to go. The weather was a beautiful 80 degrees and +. We stayed at Donald Trumps new hotel, it was great because their wasn't a casino you had to walk through plus when we got their they ended up upgrading our room twice so we had a beautiful 1 bedroom suite. The room had a full kitchen, and extravagant bathroom. It was great, we swam all day and enjoyed the beautiful sunshine. The pool was perfect since it was heated just enough so the girls would not get cold. Also enjoyed shopping, of course. Anyways, thanks mom we had a blast and hope to go again soon!

KADE

So just a few stats about Kade at 3.
Height 35 1/2 {Yes he is a pip sqweek}
Weight 30 lbs.
If anyone knew Kade within the first year of his life you would never think he would be so small. All of those who didn't see him the first year he was born at 8.0 lbs. and 19 1/2 inches. At 5 months the kid weighed a whopping 18 pds. He had legs the size of oil tankers. Everyone called him the Michillen man. Well I am sad to say that he has lost every ounce of baby fat, and is now a bean poll.
He is a very active little boy who loves Thomas the Tank, Cars, Little Einsteins, and basically anything that moves cars, trains, boats, planes, buses, and etc. He loves to sing Mama Mia songs, and will tell me he is a good singer, and a really funny guy. We love him very much and can't believe how fast time goes by.
