Update of our house

YAY Tristan!!!!!!

All season long Tristan has had this mind block and hasn't hit the ball. He rarely even swings which has been incredibly frustrating since I KNOW he can hit!

Yesterday was the last game of the season and we also had a pizza party to celebrate the boy's team doing so well. The coach gave a little speech for each child and when he got to Tristan he said that Tristan is probably the best hitter on the team but he's got to deal with the game mentally. He knows he's got the talent so over the summer to practice and come back next year to kick butt.

So off to the game we go, Tristan doesn't swing the first two times up to bat. Last time up to bat he has two strikes called on him and then FINALLY swings and hits a hard line drive to right field!!!!!!

EVERYONE erupted. Team members, coaches, other parents etc were screaming and high fiving each other. I've never been so proud of him! What a way to end the season.

I love my boys!

They can be so sweet when they want to. I was unloading a 50# bag of grain from my truck tonight and had to set it down. Usually can carry it by myself no problem but now that I'm preggo and getting bigger it's not so easy.

So without me even asking Tristan and Tanner get on each end of the bag and try to carry it for me! Of course it was a little too heavy for them so I helped but it really made me feel good to see my boys helping me like that.

I love them.

Isn't he cute?

Breaking Kheara

Since I'm pregnant I can't ride the young horses but they need to be trained very badly so Wade has stepped up to the plate for me. I'm very proud of him and the horse since both have no clue what's going on and I have to try to teach them from the ground.

Today was the third time Wade got on Kheara and she was awesome! Nice and relaxed, listening to the aids. All we're doing at this point is walking while she learns how to steer and what whoa means but so far so good.

Field Trip!

Tanner's class had a field trip to the zoo, Wade went with them as a chaperone. He called me from the zoo to tell me that he only had Tanner and they were all by themselves so I should come meet them. I decided to pull Tristan out of school and surprise him with the zoo.

Off we went and had a great time!

It's a........

Boy.

I think Wade is the only one that is excited. I think I'm in shock and the boys are disappointed, they REALLY wanted a sister.

I asked Tanner if he was ok with having a little brother and he said " No, it's just going to be more crazy here now".

I then said "Well maybe he'll be really quiet and calm" and Tanner's answer was:

"or a blood sucking killer like me and Tristan".

And this is why I'm making a reservation for the insane asylum!
