West Virginia Trip

I took a trip to WV to see Alexander play baseball.  He knows how much I love baseball and has been telling me how well he is hitting the ball.  I left on a Thursday morning since he had a game that evening.  Since Alex has been hit three times with the ball he has been a little unsure.  He did really well this game, he hit a single and a double.  It's so much fun to see his excitement when he hits the ball. 

Alex plays left field and sometimes he gets bored waiting for a ball to come his way.  So he dances, no one has told him when grandma has her camera she takes lot of pictures.

Aunt Erica was there also and Alex was telling her about his games:

Alex:  If I get to first base I get a dollar, if I get to second base I get two dollars, if I get to third base I get three dollars and if I get a home run I get twenty dollars...

Aunt Erica: Get out of town...

Alex thinking for a second:  well if I hit it out of town I'll probably get fifty three dollars...

Don't know where he came up with the fifty three amount but I'm sure if he hits it out of town his dad will be glad to give it to him.  It sure is funny the things kids say.

He had practice Friday night and another game on Saturday.  It was nice to get to see two games that weekend. 

We went to the park and Alex showed me how he does his cartwheels.

I cannot believe how big he's getting and that he will be going to first grade next year.  He is such a sweet boy and it's always fun to go and visit with him.

Till next time.....

Visit with the Grandkids

Erica, Chris and the kids stopped by on their way to Florida.  After living here for two years it was nice that they had a chance to visit.  I was especially glad Isabella got to see our new house.  She knew we moved but didn't understand the distance and why I couldn't just come over to her house as often.  Now that she has come to visit and sees how long it takes to get here she understands. 

They arrived Friday evening and we decided to have a cookout.  Greg's family and Frankie and his family came over to see everyone.  They have not seen the kids so it was nice that everyone had a chance to visit with them.  After everyone left Isabella spotted my craft room so we spent the rest of the evening making crafts.

On Saturday we went to a few yard sales, then to Mikes farm  http://www.mikesfarm.com/ to get some fresh picked Strawberry's.  We especially like to go there at Christmas, they have a fabulous light show.

They were having a yard sale and Raymond found a friend.

Later that day we drove to the beach for a short visit.  The kids had a blast running on the beach and playing in the sand. 

Lily was all smiles

Isabella had a blast playing in the sand and picking up seashells.

Raymond was so much fun to watch, he just loved running around and playing in the sand.  It was funny as soon as we walked out on the beach he went right for the water.  A wave came in a he fell down on his butt in the water.  The next time he went near the water as soon as a wave started to come in he would turn around and run the other way.

We were very disappointed that they only stayed for one day but glad the weather was nice enough to take them to see the beach by our house.  It's always a special time when we get to visit with them.

Till next time.....
