Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and LET US RUN with endurance the race set before us, LOOKING UNTO JESUS, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Heb 12:1&2

Red Sox Opening Day

Right when baseball season starts the weather has decided to not go along with the game plan!
Opening day was rained out 2 weekends ago
So this Saturday our alarms went off at 6 am
Rain was promised but had yet to deliver
Opening day was a GO!!!! 
Coach got all ready and was out the door ready to meet his team at the field
by 8am

Jayden sprung out of bed(very unlike him)
so excited for his game!



His favorite number is 7..... He proudly wore his number 7 jersey

Oh my boys and how they LOVE mom's pictures :)
Our team...
With the hottest coach in town :)
Yelling RED SOXS!!!!!

The Cheerleader :)

The assistant coach :)
It was absolutely FREEZING that morning
and of course what is Suisun without
WIND???
But hey at least it wasn't raining yet!!


The team waiting to get on the field to play their first game

I love my little MAN!!


I had them run laps to keep warm.




Meeting of the minds
Right as the game started so did the rain...
It began as more of a drizzle


His first time at bat this season and daddy struck him out:(



The game was called after the 3rd inning because the drizzle turned to big drops.
But hey at least they were able to play 3 innings:)
Tomorrow we have our 2nd game and hopefully it won't be as cold!

Moment in Time

At this moment in time....


~ Kaitlyn loves  ballet and tap. She will have her 1st recital next month!
 ~Her favorite food is yogurt.

~Zack is showing us his ability to ride a skateboard (not a gene from either one of his parents that's for sure!), and hit a baseball or golf ball (thanks to papa!). We are realizing that he loves sports which seem to come naturally for him!
 ~ The boys are still on the swim team once a week and have now added a gym class to help them build endurance. It is a crack up to watch them try and finagle a hula hoop and jump rope ( I will try and get pictures next week)
 ~Jayden is playing on the Red Sox minor b little league.
His favorite part
Daddy being the coach and
hitting!
We have only had 1 game so far due to rain (will be the next post)
 ~Pokemon cards are the "things" for the boys right now.

~Mat just finished a week training.. the 7 day work week was brutal but it
 made us very thankful for having daddy home with us this weekend!
We even had an all day jammie day!

~ Kaitlyn is on antibiotics again for another ear infection- they had to flush her ear it was so bad! That was a not fun experience for any of us... made Jayden cry too;(

 

~ We are 25 almost 26 weeks pregnant. I passed the glucose test at my last appt and baby girl is doing well. She is a MOVER! Whenever I sit down she starts moving :)
~ My favorite food right now is a apple with a little melted white and milk chocolate drizzled over it! yumm... I am eating it as I type :)

~ Mat and I just entered the world of smart phones..
 I would love to hear what your favorite apps are!
~ God is teaching us the important of Prayer... before we make decisions, for our kids, as a couple because far too often we do things based on our own wisdom without 1st seeking the God of ALL wisdom!

~ I am reading a great little book called "The Duties of Parents" by J.C. Ryle
It is so convicting and encouraging.
I have the pdf if you want to read it!

~ We are a little over week into potty training. It has been panties during the day even when we go places!! She is doing really good. Being pregnant and potty training has its benefits... I have a built in timer to reminder her to go because I have to go every 30 minutes or so :) The past 3 days no accidents and she tells us when she needs to go!!!!
We might be diaper free for a few months before the baby comes..
my first time in over 7 years and last for the next 3 years :)

~Jayden has been surprising us with being more adventurous with food! He is my picky eater.
Got him to try chicken wings and now he loves them! Another one of my cravings ;)

~I have been getting back into couponing again after taking a break for a bit. It is fun and exciting to be back in the game :)


~ Zack has had a major growth spurt!!
 I am so thankful I have been saving almost all of Jayden's clothes.
We went "shopping" in the garage and found everything he needed. 

 At this moment in time I have laundry I need to finish and dishes in the sink...
So this moment must to end :)

Spring has Sprung


Spring has sprung in our backyard!!!


 I am so excited the bulbs the kids and I planted are in beautiful bloom right now!! We didn't plant them upside down! Not too bad for our first time!


 Mat has been working hard at making garden boxes, reading up on gardens, and has many veggies and even fruit in the works!! Seedlings are growing with a light in our garage. Outside we have.....
 Broccoli
 My herb box with some garlic growing in the middle
 Garlic
 Onions
 Blueberries, raspberries, black berries
Carrots
Looking forward to enjoying the fruits of Mat's hard work in the coming months!!
