baseball

I wanted to title this post "Micah is so cute playing baseball I almost can't stand it!" but I thought that was a little wordy :)

Micah is playing his first season of baseball this year.  We were a little nervous about starting because we didn't know anyone who was coaching and didn't want him to have a negative first experience by having a coach who was too intense for that age group.  I mean they're are some crazies out there!  However, we were blessed with a great coach.  He has 5 kids, used to coach high school baseball with some friends of ours, and goes to church with some other friends.  

Micah's favorite part is fielding. So far we've noticed that he's a very calm player.  He's not super aggressive which definitely has pros and cons in the sports world :)  He's loving it though and is learning a lot about the game and how to be on a team.  There first game is next Saturday and he is very excited about playing in his uniform for the first time :)

other zach

We have a good friend named Zach.  A couple years ago he was at the house helping our Zach with the huge pile of dirt and Micah asked me who was at our house.  I told him Zach and he thought I was talking about his daddy but I said no it's the other Zach from church.  Pretty much from that day he has been referred to as Other Zach.  Now they both just call him that as if it's his name.  Quite humorous.  Anyway we were hanging out with 'other' Zach and his wife (who is expecting their first baby in August) and a few other friends for a surprise party and Micah and Connor got to play football with Other Zach.  They all had a pretty good time and I'm sure slept well after the craziness!

I had big plans to get a picture of Connor and me but that little nut job has refused everytime I've gotten the camera out.  Instead here's some adorable pictures of my 'zacharys'

star wars

A few short months ago my boys had no clue about anything Star Wars.  Not that I don't like it.  In fact I LOVE Star Wars...well the original three anyway, but we hadn't introduced in to Micah yet. One small Christmas gift changed the entire playing dynamic in my home.  My brother gave Micah a Star Wars thermos and he wanted to know who those guys were.

Fast Forward to now and we've seen the first (a.k.a fourth) one, have collected quite a few action figures, own two bad guy masks and daily act out Star Wars in our home.  Connor is all about it too!  He even, after having two cavities filled :( , got to pick out a special toy from Target and chose Darth Vadar.  He has taken it to nap and bedtime every day since he got it.  Micah also used some of his birthday cash money to buy R2D2 who has also been a nightly bedfellow.  They're obsessed I tell you!

the perks

Some days certain things happen or certain things are said that make me thankful to be of mama of all these fellas.  The recent best thing that has surfaced is that I get to play the good girl parts during playtime like Princess Leia or Princess Peach or Repunzel or the girl pretending to be a boy on Swiss Family Robinson.  Also, as the one playing the girl I have two handsome heroes to come rescue me.  Connor tells me atleast once a day that I'm _____________ and he will protect me.  I gotta say that whether or not God puts a daughter in my life I am SUPER excited to have these little super heroes on my side!

It took until child number 3, but I've finally figured out the beauty of baby wearing :)
