Baseball Season

Baseball is back in full swing again, which is always a fun and busy couple of months for us.  Alec plays in the Sumrall league and his team sponsor is Mack's West.  He has several friends from school and also or neighborhood on his team.

 

Alec and Dustin on their way to the first game!

Bass Fishin'

Yesterday while Kaleigh was at Nana's and I was working, Dad and Alec loaded up the boat and headed to Columbia to fish for his first day of his first Spring Break.  Long story short, boat battery was dead so that fishing trip was short lived.  We headed up to Ellisville to get Kaleigh after I got off with the charged up boat!

They were going crazy just riding!!  I'm so glad they both love the boat as much as we do!  Alec wanted to know why we didn't bring the tube!!  "UMM, It's a little cold!!"

In the past, we've had to at least get the fish hooked for him when we're bass fishing, it's a little tricky but this time, he stood beside Dustin and did exactly what Dustin was doing and figured it out on his own! No help needed!!

He had SO much patience!!

I must say, I do LOVE this big tree on the pond in Ellisville and I always stare at it while we're fishing.  It's one of my favorite trees!  It always looks perfect in the blue sky!

You can see the grin on Dad's face while Alec's getting another one in!

He even got the hooks out of some all by himself!

On his way to the livewell with his catch!  This sweet BIG kid needs NO help!

Global Wildlife Family Adventure

Saturday we all loaded up and headed on a family trip to Global Wildlife Center.

 

Everybody ready for the wagon ride!

Dustin's just wishing he could have brought his gun!

It was so neat to be able to feed all of the animals!

 

Dad breaking rule #1, "DO NOT TOUCH THE ZEBRAS!" ha!

Alec and Llama, llama!

These were my favorite but they didn't come any closer to us!  They looked like huge reindeer!

Grandmother really enjoyed herself!

Snaggle Tooth!

Oh my gosh!!  I can't believe it finally happened.  We've been wiggling this tooth for a couple months!  He went to school Monday with just a regular old loose tooth.  He came home and it was just hanging by a thread.  We all kept messing with it and it just wouldn't come.  Finally before bed, he was giving it a few more wiggles and out it came!!  He had to call everyone and tell them!  And only dropped it once during all this talking on the phone.  After a 5 minute search, I found it on the bathroom floor!  He was really hoping the Tooth Fairy would bring him five dollars and sure enough, she did!  This sweet angel even shared $1 with his sister!!

 

Mardi Gras 2014

Last weekend we went to the Bogalusa Mardi Gras Parade with some friends.  The kids were excited to catch some stuff, although Kaleigh was hoping for a little more candy!

 

 

Headed to the parade, No, Alec wasn't in a great mood, he'd just had a semi serious bike wreck and had a small hole in his palm! 

 

6 kids and 6 adults, we're almost outnumbered, no one can have any more kids!!  Gotta keep our 1 on 1 ratio!  ;)

 

Kaleigh and Kara, our look a like cuties!

Love these two!!

Dad has definitely passed some of his WILD genes on to our kids!  Uh Oh!  Kaleigh yelled and screamed for beads just as much as Dad did!

Playing before the parade

It was HOT!!!  But at least we caught lots of good stuff!

 

Alec joining in on the craziness too!

Alec's more interested in catching more stuff than the camera and Kaleigh checking out her stuffed hamburger she just caught!

Miss Priss!

Poor Alec, just couldn't give us a good smile for a family picture!

Our best friends, Mandi, Kara and Adam

 

We had to spread all our loot out once we got back home!

 

And of course, no trip to the camp is complete with out a fun boat ride!
