The weekend started off with Kylie’s birthday on
Friday. She decided that she wanted to
go to Cinco De Mayo for dinner, so my parents and us all headed over
there. We had a wonderful Mexican
dinner! After that, we took Kylie to
pick out her birthday present – a new bike!
She rode a couple at the first bike store that we went to and loved the
second one. We loaded it up and headed
home where she, Josh and another neighbor all rode their bikes in the court. After that, we went inside for Cake and she
opened the present from my parents – piano lessons this summer! Then it was time for bed…for everyone :)
The next morning, Kylie and I got up early and got ready for
Race for the Cure. A friend and her
daughter met us at our house and we all headed downtown. I had never gone to it (but have lots of
shirts from each year :) ) – it was awesome!
We got some great free stuff at the booths and then had fun walking in
the 1 mile family fun walk. The weather
was gorgeous! After we were done, the
four of us headed out for a great breakfast.
When we got home, John had started cleaning out the garage,
so I helped him finish that while the kids played outside. Then you could tell the heat had gotten to
everyone, so we went inside and the kids watched Alvin and the Chipmunks
Chipwrecked for the 1,000th time and rested on the couch.
That evening, we got everyone ready and headed out for
Joshie’s first baseball game of the season.
What I got to watch of the game (Colton was being a little pistol) was
so much more entertaining that his t-ball games were! They still had a lot of errors, but they
actually made outs, and hit the ball really well. He’s playing in Little League this year and
tried out to play up in the next group, so he’s one of the youngest players on
the team (he’s playing with some kids that are exactly two years older than
him). After the game, we all went home,
ate dinner, and crashed.
The next morning we got up and went to church and then came
home to start another crazy day. My mom
had made lunch for us, so it was waiting when we got home, which was a big help. I ran to the grocery store while everyone
else ate, and then came home and started packing up for football. John and Josh left early because he had
pictures. The other kids and I left an
hour after that.
Because the games were cancelled the week before, Josh had
two back-to-back games. Our nanny, Miss
G and Joshie’s teacher both came to the game, which was so nice for him and
made him so happy! I loved having Miss G
there because even though I kept telling her to enjoy herself and watch the
game, her natural instinct was to take care of Colton. So as soon as he said “more” or “waer,” she
was getting him more crackers and his water.
It let me take pictures and be able to watch Josh play! They won the first game and lost the second
(which was the game they desperately wanted to win and played their hearts out
trying). Again, we were beat!
But being a parent doesn’t mean that you get to go home and
take a nap when you’re tired…no way. As
soon as we got home, Ryan was outside wanting us to play baseball with
him! Josh was asleep in on the couch,
and Ryan and Colton were outside playing.
So John, Ryan, Colton and I played baseball in the front yard and played
on the swingset. After a little bit, I
went in and made hot dogs for dinner, and after dinner, I got Ryan and Colton
in bed, and the older kids, John and I had ice cream cones on the front
porch. It was a great way to end a very
busy, tiring, fun weekend.
