T-ball (LONG overdue)

Spring T-ball was so much fun. There are not many things that are cuter in this life than a little boy in a t-ball uniform. Well- I guess a little boy in a t-ball uniform that is standing in the outfield throwing his glove up in the air and trying to catch it during the game might be a little cuter. :)

Our maybe a little boy in a t-ball uniform playing infield- with his hat over his face!

Brett was the second youngest (and second tallest) boy on his team so this year was a learning year for sure. Daddy helped coach and had a wonderful time. So much fun that we are gearing up right now for fall t-ball and he is going to be the head coach. Brett loved having Daddy as his coach and Kate was an awesome cheerleader. (you can see her screaming go Devil Rays in the picture below)

This is one of my favorite sights- waving at Mommy from the outfield.

Love this boy! (and his baby brother- see my big ole belly)

Teaching Kate how to get ground balls. (Kate LOVES plain Lay's chips and gets them at every game)

Sliding into home- just for the fun of it

Brett's buddy Bryce

Reid

I can't believe it has only been three weeks since Mr. Reid has entered our world. To be honest, I don't know what we did without him. I have been completely smitten by this little one and can not imagine my life without him. I am so in love!

It was such an interesting experience to have a scheduled csection. To walk into the hospital feeling fine, and have a baby within two hours is a surreal experience. After our experience with Brett in the NICU, I was so nervous to hear those first few cries and hear his apgar scores. Reid let out a nice loud cry followed by a 9/9 apgar- I was one relieved mommy. And when they told me that he weighed 10 lbs 1 oz and was 22 1/2 inches long I felt much better about how miserable I was the last few weeks of pregnancy.

The first few weeks at home have been amazingly wonderful. The kids have loved having a little brother. Daddy has stepped up big time and has entertained the "big two" with daily trips to the pool. Reid is a wonderful baby and is a fabulous eater and sleeper- I am so thankful. I must admit that I LOVE LOVE LOVE having three children- WAY more than I thought I would. My heart feels so full and I am so incredibly thankful that God has trusted us with such priceless gifts.

Cutting down the last chain

Mommy's first look

Our precious boy

Proof that he really was that big!

Love at first sight

Brett and Kate seeing him for the first time. Kate walked in and said, "Mommy, who is that?" So cute- we have been talking about him for so long I think she was shocked that he was really finally here.

Our first picture as a family of 5

The view from out of our window!

Going home! He has mommy wrapped around his little finger already!

The kids were SOOO excited to have Reid home. They have been WONDERFUL!
