More Lodge Pics

Here are some more pics of the Lodge.

Also, Izzy & Maddy are all ready for coach pitch. We had our first game yesterday, they both did good and got hits, it was raining & snowing off & on so I didn't bring my camera, but when we tried on the uni's we took some. I think Izzy has a great stance, And yes -she does this through out the entire game. She's always ready right behind 1st base.

Great Wolf Lodge Fun

Ryan had her 11th birthday party at our new Grand Mound attraction, The Great Wolf Lodge. We had a great time we spent 2 days riding water slides and wave pooling it. Dylan turned into quite the ladies man, he has his first girlfriend now-Brook, the little blond girl. He started acting so cool, even giving her his tickets from the arcade,the ones you redeem for a cheap prizes,like bouncy balls & wooden airplanes, (which I might add he loves!) Then Brookbought him a stuffed animal with the tickets. My kids had fun until there toes were bleeding( literally) well, just Stone & Izzy's.Kelly of course thought we abused her son,we told her there were quite a few children that were bloody.

It was from the wave pool.

The pic w/ Shawn & the kids is of this big bucket that fills with water and dumps a huge amount of water on us.

We finally packed up & went home.

just thought I would post a pic of Suni- I know -they are BIG!

opening day

Saturday was opening day for Dylan's baseball.

It was a very, very long day that started at 8:30 am and ended 5:50 pm, we could not have had better weather though, it was beautiful and I will tell you baseball has sure gotten fun to watch, the last time D played ( he skipped last year) the kids skill level was not very high. It is down right exciting now, they make plays and steal bases. Our team was down 5 to nothing, and D got on base and stole 3rd and home and scored the first run. As you can see by the pic he was a little bored in left field, and also pre-occupied with his new "cup" he hates it and cannot leave his hands off it. any way-we lost 7 to 3 but the kids were still excited, and that was only their first game, they'll warm up. I'm looking forward to a great season- I am one of those loud, cheering mothers, I just need to get the lingo down. As I was watching the game I remembered in high school there was one mother in particular who used to yell out sayings like, "give him the high hard one!" or " make him wish he had" I thought about giving those a try, but I still don't know what they mean. we'll see as the season goes on.

Finally a new post

Here are some pics from our last clam digging trip in Feb.

This is Dylan & his friend Kyle.
