Take me out to the ball game....

In July we took the kids to their first Rangers game. We had so much fun!

Walking up to the stadium Maddie got really excited because she thought it was a castle.

We had pretty good seats in the outfield.

We enjoyed plenty of snacks.

Maddie enjoyed the constant clapping and cheering!

Mason just wanted cotton candy.
And a ball to catch.

They had just about enough fun in the eighth inning so we headed home. The Rangers lost the game but we had a blast anyway!

Good bye Papi

Before we moved Maddie was almost papi free. She would take it only at night and nap time. After the move she wanted it constantly. I let her have it for a few months to help her ease into her new atmosphere and I just didn't have the energy to fight her. So a few weeks ago we decided it was time to get rid if it for good. We took her to build a bear and let her pick out a special bear.

She then put her papi inside the bear. She was really excited about being a big girl( at this point).

They washed her.

Then picked out a pretty Cinderella dress for her.

She was all smiles in the mall.

When we got in the car and headed home she had a meltdown and starting undressing her bear thinking she could get to her papi. She finally calmed down but I worried about finding the bear in pieces later and a papi in her mouth. :)

Needless to say its been a few weeks and the bear is still in one piece and we are 100 percent papi free!! It feels good not to constantly worry about losing them. The only downside is that Maddie has not been sleeping very good, most nights she refuses to sleep in her room. Hopefully a few more weeks and we will be back to normal. Hopefully!!!

Random Summer Fun

We have enjoyed so many fun things this summer!
Mason went to Zuzu camp for a week.

He had a blast!

Maddie got to crash the last day and even got her own t-shirt. She was so excited about that!

We had VBS at church.

We went to Medieval Times with the whole family.

Took the kids to see Monsters U.
I left the building soaked because of this little girl. :)

And we have done lots of swimming and playing in the water.

T-ball city champs!

Mason was very fortunate this year to be on a great team with excellent coaches. They had an awesome season with only one regular season loss. Mason improved so much this year and I can't wait to see him play next year!

The team

One last time... Go Golds!!

Mason's daycare graduation

Friday night Mason graduated from daycare. In August he will be going to big school as he calls it for Pre-k. It was probably my proudest mom moment yet when they started singing their special song. He had been singing bits and pieces of the song for a few weeks now but would never show me the motions. He did so good and was so into the song, I was almost in tears I was laughing so hard. I will post the video once I get it but for now here are some pics of the graduate.

Wearing his cap and robe. He will correct you if you call it a gown.

Getting his preschool certificate

Mason is third from the right

So proud of our little graduate!!

T-ball 2013

I can't believe t-ball has already started, but we are going full force with practice and games and Mason is having so much fun. This year he is playing for the city league which is way more intense than the Y where everyone is a winner. Ha but anyways Mason is already learning so much and improving. He is on the gold team and he plays left center. He is probably the smallest and youngest on his team but he is such a go getter. I love to watch him play. Here are some pics from his first game.
