Cubs Win Game 3!!

It was a big win for the Cubs over the Phillies last night at Sharpsburg baseball! The team did great. Well, everyone except maybe my kid who likes to twirl his gum around in the air and play in the dirt but look at him rock out that uniform. Man is he good looking or what?!?! He has been given some leeway since he is only 4 and everything but come a week from today he turns 5 and Mommy is dropping the hammer...haha

Way to go Cubs! Another great game by the players and the coaches!!

Verandah View lets loose...

I have Great neighbors! GREAT, GREAT Neighbors! I love when it gets warm and our nights and weekends are filled with sitting outside chatting and watching the kids play. That's what we did Saturday after all the sports and fashion shows (Way to go, McKenzie!) were done for the day! Well, about 15 of us decided to make a break for it and head to the local Mexican restaurant for dinner. Funny thing was, we saw the Smith Family walking out as we were walking in (normally they would be with us but Daniel had a baseball tournament, which he won, by the way! Great job, Daniel!). We had a great time, great laughs, a whole lot of chips and a balloon man on top of it all!

Thank you to The Handley, Boynton and Reeder Families for a great night out!

April 9 - Game 4 - Win!! - GO RAPIDS!!!

Another big win for the Rapids on Saturday with a score of 5-2. Jack had a visitor to his game too. He was excited to see Taylor. For those of you that don't remember, Taylor lives across the street and babysits the boys, she is just like part of the family. In fact our families spend a lot of time together and Taylor has watched Jack and Drew grow-up. Jack thinks Taylor is the coolest because she plays soccer and has been playing forever! He was excited to see her! Thanks for coming, Taylor!

Congratulations on a great game, Rapids!

Great game, Jack!

Just a Typical Sunday...

Spring is HERE!!! I even have a little sunburn and the sinus headaches from the pollen to prove it! So, in typical Verandah View style we sat outside yesterday and let the kids play. They even "washed" my car. I will use that term lightly. HaHa

We also welcomed the Reeder Clan to the View...Tammy, Grant, Cara and Carson, we are excited to have you here!! I mean what's 3 more kids when we already have 20, right? ;) At the end of the day we headed down the street to the lake to feed the ducks. It was a great Sunday and I'm looking forward to Spring and more time outside with more great friends and great kids!Jack, Parker, Cara, Andrew, & McKenzie

Jack with his favorite little guy, Parker!

April 2 - Game #3 - WIN! - Go Rapids!

This is always my favorite game of the season! I LOVE when Jack and Matthew play against each other. Like I wrote in the fall, they have been friends for a long time so they can be pretty competitive on the field and they are a riot to watch. It was a pretty back and forth game but it ended with the Rapids winning 8-6. So, what did Jack & Matt do? They slapped high fives and had a sleepover. :)Jack & Matthew

Look at that kid...he scored 2 goals that game! Way to go, Jack! xoxo

April 1 - Game #2 - WIN! - Go Cubs!

It was a big win for the Cubs over the Royals 17-4. Drew had a good hit off the T and the rest of his team played great. Way to go, Cubs!!

He is so cute in that uniform!

Drew waiting for the pitch...very serious. :)

Way to go, Drew! Momma is so proud of you!! xoxo

March 31- Jack loses Tooth #4

Top 2 and bottow 2 are now gone and he thinks he is the coolest kid ever! Well, at least now he feels like the rest of his friends! (except Andres, but we promise it will happen soon, Buddy) Such a stud! He looks so different and so grown-up. I'm not sure I like it and I certainly don't like the talking back little mouth that is coming along with it...UGH! I want my sweet little baby boy back!!!
