Stockton's Baseball Game

Baseball season for Stockton is in full swing. He is averaging 2 games, plus a practice each week. It is really keeping us busy, but Stockton loves it! He usually plays third base. He made a good hit that resulted in a run tonight. I took some pictures with my new camera so I thought I would share.

Sophie's 2!!!

I'm a bit slow posting this, but Sophie turned 2 on April 24th. I can't believe my baby really isn't much of a baby anymore. She talks nonstop and has developed quite the stubborn little attitude lately. If she doesn't like what one of the kids is doing she yells, "NO, Go away!" She also loves to sing, especially songs she learns at nursery and rap tunes like, "Kiss Me Through the Phone" (courtesy of her Dad) Here are some pics of her birthday celebration.
