Pictures from Sunday

It's been SO nice here these last couple days. Sunday after church (and rest time) we all hung out in the back yard for a couple hours. I mostly lounged in the grass and watched the kids and Matthew play, but I played too, with my camera. :) We started off playing with all this bubble stuff that Aunt Lyndsey brought over for R. I think we went through 3 jars of bubbles! lol (I played with the bubbles too, so I only took a few pictures when we were almost done with those). Thanks Aunt Lyndsey, they were a lot of fun!

Then the kids helped Matthew water the plants. We have a drip system, but our lemon tree that we planted last weekend was looking a little dry, and then the kids had to water everything. lol
I really like this one for some reason.

And I thought this was a funny little series (click on it to make it bigger)
M joined me on the grass for a little bit, this is what I did most of the afternoon, it was GREAT!

Then Matthew got the baseball stuff out. M is signed up for T-ball, and she had a great time when she played last year, but none of her friends at school are going to play, and she keeps saying that she doesn't want to play anymore. Sorry kid, I already paid for it, you're playing! lol I think it's mostly that her friends aren't going to play, but also she's SUCH a perfectionist! She hates to do things that she's not good at (and she doesn't get that hitting the ball 1/3 of the time is really good! lol). She'll have a great hit and be all excited, and then the next time she'll miss or hit the T and she'll throw the bat down and say she doesn't like baseball and she's not good at it. She's like that with everything she does, and she has an older cousin who's the exact same way.

Anway, here are some baseball pictures...

I liked the motion in this one even though you can't see his face

Another one that I just liked for some reason

We had such a fun time just hanging out in our backyard and playing with the kids all afternoon, it was a great day!


Today was even warmer, it got up to 80 in the shade in our backyard, that's unheard of around here!! The kids and I hung out back there some, but they got bored without daddy to play with and kept whining that they wanted to go inside. I had all the windows open all afternoon, so it was nice in here too. I'm so bummed it can't stay like that!

And speaking of weather, tomorrow is opening day and a big rain storm is supposed to hit SF, I'm going to be so sad if they get rained out!! Crossing my fingers that maybe the weather man will be wrong!!
