Let's go do baseball!

Last weekend the weather was beautiful so we decided to get our lazy butts outside with the boys. We took them up to the high school so we could play our own version of baseball. Which basically means, Ryan and I take turns throwing pitches to each other, the boys and dog run around like maniacs, and the boys "play" baseball for all of 3 min.

Doesn't he look all sporty with the crocs? Let me tell you how GROSS Hunter's feet were after this outing...a nasty, sweaty mess!

What you don't have a psycho dog who tears around a baseball field like she's never been outside? Seriously, Indy went nuts. Poor dog doesn't get out much unless she escapes our yard. That dog loves to run.

They were practicing writing their names with the bats. Gotta keep those little minds going all the time!

Donut Day!

The background: My grandma was moved into an apartment so my mom got the lucky job of clearing out her 3 bedroom house. I got to go over to see if there was anything I needed or wanted. I found this little deep fryer and figured it could be useful/fun. Ryan was pretty darn excited when I brought it home stating that we were going to fry EVERYTHING!

Our first adventure in frying was making donuts this morning.

Everyone had their own jobs:
Hunter--making the holes in the biscuits & sprinkle duty
Daddy--frying the donuts
Jacob--stirring the frosting and sprinkly duty
Mommy--making the frosting

Such good multi-tasking, watching TV and stirring!

*I have NO clue why Hunter (or whoever is closest) gets so washed out everytime.

Jacob doing his sprinkle thing. He only wanted to eat the sprinkles, not the donuts.

The final product. Yummy!

Family T-shirts

Ryan thought it would be fun to make tie-dyed family t-shirts a couple of weekends ago. I have no idea where he comes up with these ideas! So he bought all of the stuff a couple of weekends ago and that Saturday we went to work. I'm sure he had grand visions of the 4 of us doing this together, but Hunter told him that he should try it first to see if it works. Hunter's done too many crafts with me that haven't worked out as planned. He knows the drill.

Ryan and I did a shirt each for us to show the boys then they gave us their input on where to put the rubber bands and what colors they wanted. They were super excited when we showed them how their shirts turned out and couldn't wait to wear them. I was pleasantly surprised at how they turned out, the majority look pretty neat. Granted there are a couple that are hideous!



2 of our finished projects. One of these days we'll get a family picture with all of us in our shirts.
