Baseball season, finally ending

I can't say I'm all that sad to see baseball season coming to an end this year. It's been pretty painful to see the team miss many more plays than they've made.

Last two games are Tuesday at 7:30 and Thursday at 5:45.
Having arena foot ball at the same time this year hasn't helped things out any. It's tough to follow a tediously slow two hour baseball game after the fast paced action of football. Ian has had a pretty good season, but we're still very looking forward to all-stars (fingers crossed)

The Cats Close the Deal

Avyrlie spotted these before we we're even in the store and had to have them. She loves the sparkles and the color. I actually tried to say no until I noticed the cat in the middle of the gold ring. They also have a very cool cat design on the bottom.
We found some cute shirts and a couple shorts as well. Avyrlie's at the weird in-between 4 and 5 size where everything is either the wrong size or they don't have the style you want in that size.
Nartjie came through with some cute outfits including hats and we even found a summer Cinderella dress.

Someone Loves the Weather

We have a duck hanging out at the end of our street. He was there with a female a few weeks ago, but we haven't seen her for a while. I would guess she's off hatching eggs. He has a travel pattern down during the day and usually ends up on the roof next door in the evening. Avyrlie is currently very mad at her brother for mentioning shooting the duck. Now she tells everyone that her brother hates ducks.

Random acts of cuteness

Avyrlie has a pretty quirky personality and her preschool teacher always has a story about some random thing Avyrlie has done or said. I didn't have a chance to ask about the boat comment today so I'm jotting it here so I'll remember to ask tommorrow. She did mention that Avyrlie was very proud of her 'My Daddy Can Fix Anything' shirt today ;)

X-Ray

Tech got to us pretty wick after my last post. She just took a scan and ran down to have the radiologist take a look at it to be sure they have what they need before they scan his elbow.

Football Season

I'm curently sitting in the ER waiting to see the doc for ian's neck. He got tackled pretty hard and smacked the back of his head and his elbow. He's pretty hard to read when he gets hurt so off for x-rays we go. Currently he's complaining more about his elbow and leg than his neck... Gotta school him on how to get seen quicker at the ER ;) The doctors her at PCMC have been really good every time we've been here. One doc just stopped in to check while he was waiting for another patient till ian's doc showed up.

Now we're waiting for x-rays which could take all night. Hopefully it goes as quick as it's been so far. Thankfully grandma and grandpa Sutliff offered to take Avyrlie while we're here.

Updates to come...

The BIG Birthday Party

(click the pic for the gallery)

Avyrlie is still not quite convinced that her party was big enough to adequately celebrate the greatness that is her, especially now that she is four years old!

Next year I suppose we will have to round up a couple alligators and crocodiles and have better weather so we can party outside. Talking to Avyrlie after her 'party', it's clear that she remembers her last birthday party in the backyard and was pretty disappointed that the weather didn't hold out this year. When I asked her why she thought Mother Nature didn't let her have her party outside she said, "Probably my brother made her mad!"

Fericious Football and Singing Sensations

We're talking about Easter of course!

We spent Sunday destroying dinner rolls, hunting eggs, jumping on the trampoline, and playing ferocious football with the Hasaras.

Saturday we hung out with the Sutliffs playing American Idol which sounds even better now in the new and improved Richardson AV room.

Chatty at the Ballgame

Avyrlie LOVED her birthday party although she is still asking when the HUGE party is going to be ;) She has been wearing her princess. Glasses all day and taking her phone everywhere she goes. Thanks again to everyone (which really was EVERYONE!) for coming and making it an extra special birthday!
