Batter Up!

Saturday Caden had his first baseball practice! He did GREAT! His team is the mets! He'll pracrice for the whole month of March and then games start in April! He can't wait! Infact, on the way there he asked me, "Mommy, if I hit a homerun at a game will they shoot fireworks for me?" I guess his only reference point is the Greensboro Grasshoppers! If they do it for them why wouldn't Caden get them too!? Check him out! He's the one fielding the ball in the orange shirt!
I love that you can totally tell he's just impatiently taking a picture for me! He was SO ready to get over there with the rest of the kids!!

Doesn't he look so cute?

Great Wolf Lodge

This past Thursday night we headed to the Great Wolf Lodge with the Conklins! We had a GREAT time! Brandt, Caden, Addison and Highland are all so sweet to each other! We can't wait for them to be just a few miles away!! This was just before we left! Everyone was exhausted!

Caden had a great time pulling the rope to soak his Daddy!

He was happy to be on this side of the rope....I'm not sure that he would have been happy on the soaking end!

Addison was a little fish!

Caden and Addison raced down the slides!

Caden LOVED swimming around the big pool all by himself with the lifejacket! I think he'll really be swimming this year! The name of the game with him is building his confidence. If he doesn't think he can do it he won't try....wonder where he gets that from...hmmm....

Even Addison wore a lifejacket! Although it didn't last long!

The most common sentence we heard from Addison the whole time we were there was, "I want to do orange!" The first time Brian took Ad up the lifeguard looked at him and said she can't ride with you. So, they sent her down by herself! This slide was in the big kid area...but she didn't care. All the lifeguards at the bottom loved her. They would stand in the slide waiting for her to come down. They'd scoop her up even though I was standing right there and would hand her to me! Caden liked the slide but didn't love it! Infact, I think he only did it twice. However, yesterday in the car he asked me if we could go back today because he wanted to give that orange slide another try!

Thursday night we let the kids go to storytime in their jammies since it started at 8!! They loved it! (I just noticed that my belly looks HUGE in this picture! I sure am glad I can't see myself from behind!)

Before storytime Thursday night Caden and Addison got to play in an arcade for the first time ever!! They LOVED it!!! Thank goodness they have no idea what the tickets are for. The girls LOVED this ride...they rode it SEVERAL times together! Highland was so sweet to let Addison drive!

Caden loved skiball....I did too!!

Addison came up with her own technique to get a high score. Seriously, she did this on her own! What a cheater!

We can't wait for our next trip back to the Great Wolf Lodge...but it certainly can't be today sweet Caden!!!
