Hobs was serious and our little friend was looking cute posing for a picture.

The kids love baseball but being able to share the experience of a game with their close friends was priceless.

Baseball Party Weekend Celebrations part 1

 We started off the fun filled weekend with Skyping my mom and grandpa.  We like our family to watch the kids open the presents from them.

The boys love little cars and they plenty of them! 

What a perfect time for them to get their very own Josh Hamilton baseball figure!

Getting Ready for the Baseball Party

We are preparing for our double birthday party this Saturday.  If you haven't guessed it we are having a Texas Rangers baseball party.  I have been busy trying to make this party very special for my little guys.  One of my favorite things so far is their baseball cards.  Both boys have at least 4 different poses and everyone will get both of their cards along with some other fun things in their treat bags.  On the back says, "thanks for coming to my party!" 

 Being crazy as we were on our way to baseball practice

Everyone is getting a water bottle with their name on it for the water break during the game.

For the party everyone is going to meet us at the school near our house so we can play a game on the field where we practice.  We'll then go back to the house for consession stand food and presents.

Baseball Practice

We've been doing baseball practice a couple of times a week.  We know the coach at the elementary school near our house so they let us use their field.  We start out with stretching and then work on hitting, catching, and running the bases. 

We now have two 3 yr olds in our house.  On Saturday Ian turned 3!  We asked him what he wanted to do and he wanted to play on the playground and go to KFC so that is what we did.  The kids really love KFC they get chicken nuggets, fries and since it was such a special occasion we let them each have a fruit drink and an ice cream cone. 
We will celebrated with all the kids friends in a couple of weeks when we have our big joint birthday for the boys.  It was nice to celebrate as a family this weekend. 

We've been practicing with Ian to say he is THREE now and show 3 with his fingers.  Elijah overheard us and said, "Hey I'm three too.  We are twins now!" 

Ian's favorite color is blue.  In March we moved him into his big boy bed and he potty trained the same week.  I finished his quilt for his bed in time for his birthday.  He loves to play with cars, color and read books.  He still loves to eat and play with our little kitchen.  Over the past year his baseball skills have taken off too. 

                  Happy 3rd Birthday Ian.  We love you and are glad that you are in our family!
