Homerun Derby WINNER!

Last week, Cyrus competed in a Homerun Derby contest for the YMCA. Anyone interested made a small donation to the Y for children who want to be a part of a sport but can not afford it. Cyrus and several others participated and had a blast! There were cones set up about 20 feet from the T and you got 10 hits (from the T). One kid from Cy's team did great and was giving Cy a run for his money, but we found out on Saturday, Cy WON the contest with a whopping 5 homers! We were so proud of our big boy and he was SO excited that his prize was a really cool new baseball bat and ball! He is doing well, loving T-ball and learning a lot about baseball and teamwork! Thank you to his fans who have come out to watch! :)

First Haircut!

Nolan was in DESPERATE need of a haircut!

Cyrus was pretty much bald at this age, so it is funny to us that Nolan's hair is so long!


MUCH better! :)

Like Big Brother, Like Little Brother

Nolan has been chewing on his crib...Mommy found him after his nap with paint ALL over his mouth and face.

(Nolan @ 11 months)
It wasn't long ago when his big brother was doing the very same thing!!!
(Cy @ 10 months)

Sweet Nolan!

So big...and all over the place!
Nice hair!

LOVIN the warm weather

Cute butt!

Trip to the creek

When did our baby get so big?!? 11 months old already!

Cy and the CUBS!

So ready to play some ball!

Stretching

Warming up

He wants to be a catcher just like daddy! He also wears #3 just like his Grandpa Cole!

Giving some pointers to his teammate, and buddy, Paul.

Batter up!

Such a happy boy when he's playing ball!

Posing for his "baseball picture"

I could hardly get this jersey off of him at the end of the day! :)

We are looking forward to watching more t-ball games! Let me know if you would like to come watch! He plays on Saturday Mornings at 9:30!

Happy Mother's Day

For Mother's Day, my boys took me downtown to Cafe Patachou for lunch. (It is one of my very FAVORITE places to eat!) We met g-mom and g-dad Toombs and Justin there and had a nice lunch together. Then we headed home for a relaxing evening. It was a great day!

I am so THANKFUL for the BLESSING of being a mother! It is one of the greatest joys of my life!

Also, we are so thankful to have so many special mothers/women in our lives! We hope you had a very HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! We love you ALL! :)

T-ball!

Our big boy started t-ball today! Although we had a hard time keeping him interested in all facets of the game, (he only wanted to bat and run the bases) he had a great time! He will be playing for the Cubs this season and daddy (David) is his coach! :) We are looking forward to next Saturday when their jersey's arrive!
New Cleats!
