Game 2 Mariners

Marcus had another game last night.  I got there just in time for his first at bat.

This time he got on first.

He stole to second.

Now he's on third.

Sliding into home...he scores!

He's up to bat again.

And off he goes...he is doing so awesome this year...so fun to watch!

Baseball Season

Marcus also had his first game on Saturday.  He's on the Minors Mariners team.

Marcus played center field just like Olivia.

All the Mariners lined up for hitting.

Marcus was up first.

Go Marcus!

He did so well...unfortunately he struck out but he gave it his all.

The girls stuck around to cheer their brothers on.

Lookin' good buddy!

After the games Marc tried out one of his player's hoverboard.  The girls got quite a kick out of that.  He said it's not as easy as it looks.

We celebrated the start of our season at the Salty Dog...a great way to end a great day!

I Love Softball and Baseball Season!!!

Softball Season is Here!

The girls had their first game Saturday.  Olivia started out in center field.

Emma's up to bat.

She is getting so big!

She got a walk and stole every base...she scored too!  I would have gotten a great picture of it if it wasn't for the fence...the camera focused nicely on the fence so Emma was just a blur.

Emma played 2nd base.

Olivia's up to bat.  She is getting so big too!

Here comes the pitch...see the ball?  

Emma up to bat again.

There's Olivia.  I had to keep books so I really didn't get too many pictures.  I sat right behind the catcher so these at bat shots were my best bet.

Marc is coaching the girls again.  This year they are playing in the Majors.  

They are the Mud Dogs again this year.

Don't you love their uniforms...they look sharp!

Easter Fun

We invited some friends over on Saturday for some egg dying fun.  Cole, Marcus, Emma, Olivia and Bree were ready to be creative.

Emma's got her eggs and dye.

Olivia is pretty excited.

Marcus has 2 eggs going at once.

Cutie.

Pretty purple...we just used food coloring in water and a little vinegar for ours.

This is one of Bree's; they used the kits and full vinegar for their eggs.

Marcus has a 2-toned egg...can you see the yellow on top and blue on bottom?

These are Bree's eggs...so pretty.

The girls are creative.

The boys did have a lot of fun.

All the girls showing off their best eggs.

The finished eggs...so pretty!

Great job kids!

It was a late night so the kids got to sleep in.  The Easter Bunny came while we all slept!

They got some cool stuff.

They each got a color art book, colored pencils, silly string, a flower to plant, a movie, chapstick and some candy.

Marcus loved his basket.

The Easter Bunny hid eggs around the house too.  They were filled with candy.  They started by the front door and then ran through the house to find the eggs.  It was a success!  Lots of fun!

Happy Easter Everyone!

Marcus' First Science Fair

Marcus did his first science fair project this year.  His experiment was to see find out the best way to keep apples fresh.  He used vinegar, water, lemon juice and 7-up.  His hypothesis was he thought 7-up would work best because of the carbonation.  In the end the lemon juice kept the apples the freshest although 7-up was a close 2nd.  He said the 7-up apples tasted the best though.  He did a great job...do you see the apple tree he painted on his board?  He did that all by himself.  We are so proud.
