Guess Who?

Brian and I having a silly moment the last time they came to visit! (Actually, most all the moments we are together we are silly ... :-)

Playing catch-up again!

Where does the time go? It's hard to believe it's been a month and a half since we last blogged -- it sure doesn't seem like it :-)

I had another good ball season -- it seemed really short this year, but that's probably because we had one game canceled due to weather and I was unable to play in the last game 'cause we were gone to Kentucky.


Memorial Day weekend I ran in the Alma Highland Festival's Kid's Fun Run -- Daddy says I came in about 5th among the kids in my age range . Mommy and Grandma and Grandpa Hill walked the 5K, and although it was a very wet morning, we had a good time anyway.

Oh, and I forgot to mention ....

I lost my 4th tooth last night! It was my other top front one!

It's been a great weekend ...

Hi all! Just wanted to check in and tell you a bit about our weekend. We spent a lot of time working out in the yard. Mommy and Daddy rented a rototiller and Daddy cleared the space between our two barns -- we are going to plant wildflowers there. Then Daddy cleared another spot where Mommy is going to try her hand at gardening. We started working on the landscaping on the back side of the house too -- lots of digging. We saw at least one snake (ewwwwww....) well, it might have been 2, we didn't get close enough to see if it was the same one twice, or two different ones. We also found this really cool bug! (look in the middle to the left of the cactus.) This is a "Six-Spotted Green Tiger Beetle" (thanks to Aunt Michelle for the awesome insect and spider field guide she got us for our birthday, we were able to look that up and learn all about it.

While everyone else was pulling weeds, Jonathan got creative with the garden implements -- Mommy and Daddy actually thought this was pretty ingenious for a 4 year old.

Well, we hope you all had a great relaxing and productive weekend. We are excited because we are going to pick up the solar heating panel for the pool tomorrow and we are hoping that means we might be swimming soon.

I have my first ball game tomorrow night as well. Only 9 days left of 1st grade! Talk to you all soon! ~David

A day @ the park w/Brian and Josh

A few weeks back we took a Sunday afternoon drive to visit our friends the Keillors. Dad and Uncle Brad went to see a movie so Mom and Aunt Shannon took us boys to a park near their house. We had a lot of fun ... check out the "Park Pics" link to the right to see just how much fun we had!

Easter, Camping Trips and T-Ball!

We realize it has been awhile since we've posted to our blog -- we are sorry, (as always)!

Easter was cold but a nice time spent with our family! The Easter Bunny brought us some new books and a little bit of candy!

Mom has been playing around a little and has figured out how to add some links along the side bar (look to the right in the new "Our Photo Albums" area) and this is where she will be able to add more pictures, so instead of putting them in with our posts, if we have a lot we want to share she will make a link and tell you about it in the post. So ... check out the link for Holland Pics to see pictures from our recent camping trip to Holland, MI. Daddy couldn't go with us because he is in charge of the MS play and that was the weekend they were performing so Mommy, Jonathan and I went over and met up with Grandma/Grandpa Hill and Uncle Ron/Aunt Christie/Brandon. Mommy was quite proud of herself for getting us over there and back all by herself! We had a lot of fun and we saw more Tulips in more colors than we could have ever imagined existed.

I've started T-Ball practice. I'm pretty good at throwing and hitting, but still working on catching the ball. I'm not really even on a T-Ball team this year, I've moved up a level and we don't use a "T" at all -- we have to hit the ball off the coach's pitch. I'm looking forward to our first game in a couple of weeks.

It's hard to believe we only have 13 days of school left. This year has really gone by fast. Check back soon, I always have something to say :-)

March 19, 2007

Well, here we are playing catch up again ... We've had a birthday dinner, I'm officially 7 years old, Daddy's bands went to band festival, and spring is almost here!

We had a lot of fun the day our family came up to help us celebrate our birthdays. I had a very cool football cake, and Jonathan had a basketball cake. I had a great birthday and got a really cool new bike. Now Jonathan can have my old bike -- we both really want to go on a bike ride, but mom says it's still too cold. Maybe by the end of the week we'll be able to go. Mom made the coolest cupcakes for me to take for my birthday treat at school. Band festival is done for another year. Now daddy is busy getting the Middle School play practices started. Spring starts later this week and we are all very excited. We all want to get outside to do more stuff and are looking forward to our first camping trip in a couple of weeks.

We hope you all are enjoying the warmer weather!
