Where we live, after one year of t-ball, 1st graders begin machine pitch. Three days before his first game was the first time he practiced with the machine. On the second pitch, he connected but was hit by the ball and was left with a bloody and bruised thumb. After that, he wanted nothing to do with machine pitch. With some encouragement, he stood at home plate three days later and swung as hard as he could. He hit several foul balls, and finally got his first hit the last time he was up to bat. We are so proud of him for conquering his fear--he continues to assure us that he is not going to be afraid to try new things--hard things.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am so proud of you. Last Saturday, you played in your last basketball game of the season. This was your first year of basketball and you improved tremendously throughout the season. In your last two games, you found a love for stealing the ball. When you steal the ball, you run by me and give me a thumbs up. It melts my heart. On the court, you cheer for your teammates' successes and that makes me so proud--it is selfless. You did not take a shot all season until your last game and you scored! Andy Nelson from <i>The Register Guard</i> captured your excitement after scoring your first basket. These pictures of you are priceless to me because they capture you and your excitement for life. Keep shooting the ball, Caden Baden! We love you!</span><br />

It was his turn to be the catcher <i>and </i>pitcher today, so I had to run to my car to get my camera. It was almost too much for this momma's heart. He did a good job playing catcher and he didn't let a ball roll by him while being pitcher. I hope he is always enthusiastic, passionate and willing to try new things.</span><br />

<br />
We gave Caden the choice between playing soccer again or playing t-ball. He chose t-ball. I wasn't as excited as he was about it; I thought it would be boring to watch.<br />
<br />
Well, I was wrong...kindergarten t-ball has to be one of the cutest things I've ever seen. Look at those little uniforms! When the ball is hit, most of the team runs to get it...it's precious!<br />
<br />
All of these firsts and milestones are making me sad. I want him to be "5" forever!<br />

first visit to our home. According to the dentist, she will be
returning soon. (Since I took a photo of it, I don't have to save it, right?! I'm not quite sure where the more reliable Tooth Fairy put it!)</span><br />

I thought Carter might like Monster Jam, so I gambled and bought him a ticket. He surpassed my expectations and was <i>exceptional</i> for the entire show (it was over two hours!). Someone is growing up on us. He even decided to begin using the potty this week, but that deserves a post of its own :). Both boys absolutely<i> loved</i> Monster Jam. Caden was so excited that his friend was able to meet us there. If you have young kids, I guarantee they will enjoy the show. Both boys have been asking me to take them back to Monster Jam since we left! (Don't forget ear plugs--I didn't realize how loud it would be!) </span></span><br />

We are in the middle of another unusual winter storm. School was cancelled Thursday and Friday because of snow/ice and I am starting to wonder if school will be open on Monday. We still have about 1/2 foot of snow/ice on our deck, limbs/trees are coming down all around town, and many people are without power.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I prefer to stay curled up on the couch in weather like this, but I braved the cold today for about ten minutes to capture some icicle photos:</span><br />

In just three weeks, his dribbling skills have improved <i>so</i> much! He seems to enjoy basketball and we like it because it slows him down <i>a little</i>. During basketball practice, he answers all of the questions and hams it up a bit for the audience, which made me wonder about his classroom behavior.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I was relieved this week when he brought home an award
for his "excelente actitud y participacion en
clase" (excellent attitude and participation in class). We are so proud
of him; he is working so hard to learn Spanish. It is good to know that
he is doing what he is supposed to be doing in class and <i>hopefully</i> only
making others laugh at appropriate times. </span><br />

We ended 2013 with five snow days, Christmas with our families, and the flu. After having the flu, I'm positive I've never had the flu before. We all spent one week of Winter Break on the couch. Thankfully, we are all well now and are looking forward to Spring Break!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">During Winter Break, the boys were able to spend some time with their cousin, Brody. It is so much fun to watch the cousins bond. I told the boys that if they took one nice photo for Nan, I would give them a few M&M's. Brody said in the cutest voice, "I sure do like M&M's!"</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">So, here it is, the only photo we have of all three boys looking at the camera and smiling... </span><br />

When this happens, stress lifts and I am able to breathe more deeply. Every time this happens, I can't help but think that it is a small gift from above.</span><br />

Here are a few photos from Dorris Ranch, the pumpkin patch, and Halloween. This was the first Halloween that Carter had an opinion about who he wanted to be. I was disappointed that the boys would not be matching, until I realized they were both going to be "Mike"--Michaelangelo and Mike Wazowski.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Both boys enjoyed trick-or-treating. It was especially fun to watch Carter choose his candy--he examined it carefully before deciding which piece to take.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We are so proud of you. So so proud of you! You just began kindergarten and are in an extremely challenging kindergarten program. It breaks my mommy heart that every day has not been easy for you, but deep down I know you are going to be better prepared for life because you have been willing to take on something so challenging. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You played in your first real soccer game on Saturday and you almost scored a goal. You were so close! Next time, buddy! (At your request, I will keep cheering!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Daddy and I are enjoying watching you try new things, but we feel you are growing up way too fast. I told you that I was going to keep you "5," but you said, "I am going to turn 6!" I'm glad you will be "5" for just a little bit longer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We love you Caden Baden!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Love, Mommy & Daddy</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">P.S. These photos are actually from your last day of preschool (pajama day). We will take some new kindergarten photos soon!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You turned "2" this summer and mommy is just getting around to blogging about it. . .I wonder why?! You keep us SO busy. SO busy! You are active, fearless, mischievous, a climber, a tease, and you forget you are "2" and not "5" like Caden. You become easily upset when you cannot do something you think you should be able to do. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You love airplanes, Monster's Inc., playing outside and at the park. You were born knowing how to be a little brother; you spend most of your day wanting anything Caden has and imitating anything Caden does. It is a good thing he is such a good role model because you <i>adore</i> him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Watch out ladies. . .you are a charmer! When you are being corrected, you kiss us or sing "You and Me" from Monster's Inc. You love to sing and dance. Your favorite songs are "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," "Jesus Loves Me," and Alicia Keys', "Girl on Fire" (I need to post the video of you and Caden singing "Girl on Fire." You entertained us all summer).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You are teaching mommy and daddy patience. . .lots of patience. I hope you are always spunky, alive, and determined. Boy, you are going to move mountains!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We love you Carty Bart!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Love, Mommy</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">P.S. You are 37 inches tall (97th percentile!) and 32 pounds (89th percentile).</span><br />

It was a beautiful wedding and I can't wait to see the photos. According to Caden, he was the "ring master." When I explained to him what his duties entailed he asked, "That sounds like an important job. Can't they find an adult to do it?" He is always making us laugh.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When I heard the Cottage Grove Airport was having a free vintage plane show, I knew our boys would love it. Carter is our "plane watch"; he makes sure to let us know anytime a plane is flying over our home, which happens numerous times a day. As expected, the boys <i>loved</i> the plane show and they were on their best behavior which made for a really fun trip. It was nice to find something to do that was so fun <i>and</i> free.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Our biggest news is that we have a preschool graduate in the family; Caden will be going to kindergarten in the fall! For the past two years, I have been <strike>throwing his preschool artwork in a laundry basket</strike> neatly organizing his preschool artwork. Last week, Shutterfly was offering a free photo book, so Caden and I organized his preschool artwork and created a photo book. He entitled his first art book, <i>The Museum of the Art. </i>We can't wait for it to arrive!</span><br />

This year, my digital photography students "persuaded" me to take them there. We had such a fun day. I feel <i>a little </i>guilty for getting paid to do what I love. My students continue to inspire me with what they see through the lens. I am saddened that this is most likely the last year that I will be teaching digital photography, but that is another post. . .</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here are a few of my favorite photos from our trip. Landscape photography is not my strength (mostly, because I lack the patience), however, I have been trying to challenge myself with regards to photography lately.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We celebrated another busy but fun Easter with both sides of our family. The boys enjoyed going on three Easter egg hunts--they have quite the loot. Each year, Caden is beginning to understand The Easter Story a little more. He can actually explain most of it. . .when he wants to. We are so thankful for God's grace--it is so exciting to see our boys begin to learn about the real meaning of Easter.</span></div>

One boy was <i>a little </i>more cooperative than the other, but I will not mention any names. It was so nice out. Sadly, Spring Break is coming to an end. We can not wait for summer!</span><br />
