winter or spring?

winter weather equals craziness! we got outside after school this morning for some spring fever baseball fun...
did i forget to mention that talen is finally old enough for t-ball this year and his baseball bag has been packed since we were informed that 4 year olds could play this year?  look-out, cook-out!
blakie's just another "field rat" in training...soon enough he will be out there too!
and on a fantasic note, coming from a proud mumma, this boy came home with straight A's this week!!
love these boys!

thirty...

i was very happy to have a close-knit birthday party to celebrate a special 30 years for a dear friend.
a child-hood friend whom i battled against on the basketball court in elementary school and then soon joined forces with when we were brought together in middle school.
a friend who everyone should have that no matter what the situation may be, you know she is always going to be there for you.
a friend who your mom actually allows to sleep over on school nights and willingly buys extra food for at the grocery store.
a friend who goes to the same school as you but lives in another area code which results in a very expensive phone bill that your mom highlights all your calls on and has to invest in "circle dialing".
a friend who you get elected as "most athletic" with in the eighth grade yearbook, beating out all the boys in your class.
a friend who your parents are just as sad to see go off to college as their own child.
a friend who dresses up like a clown for your son's birthday party :)
a friend who stood by me as a bride and i stood by her as a bride...
who i have watched turn into a loving wife and wonderful mother.
happy birthday jamie!

the show must go on...

one would think january would call for a snowy day project but today called for a rainy day project...
how about a puppet show??
talen got busy making puppets, pretty cute paper bag ones at that!
 
in order to have a puppet show, there's got to be a puppet theater...make-shift anyways :)

talen put on a nice lil show with his home-made friends...
bravo talen!
