Well what's Sam doing?

 he has loved hangin' out at the ball park.  i really think he'll miss it more than jackson.  his favorite thing to do was watching baseball practice (which is what he called every game.)

 holding eva, in the brief moments that they have patience for it at the same time.

 and growing up too fast.  i think being 2nd gets you in to cartoons/games faster than the first.  he loves star wars, spiderman, and johnny test.  at this age i think jackson was just discovering elmo and sid.

so....the boys drive me nuts when they're going to bed.  recently, sam seems to come out every 5 minutes or just scream.  last night i heard him just crying and frankly, i was ignoring it.  eventually i thought ok, that sounds like the persistent cry of being hurt or stuck.  When i walked in he had put the elmo potty seat (a smaller seat to put on top of the toilet for potty training toddlers) on his head and gotten it stuck.  oh sam.

So what is jackson doing?

Well, one thing he's not doing is going to preschool!  He finished up on Thursday.  He cried.  He might be too much like his mom in some ways.  

 He's also not playing baseball.  He finished that up Monday night.  It was such a great season.  I think he had fun.  Brent was an assistant coach and i think they had great bonding time doing it together.  Brent didn't really want to do it but when we realized if he volunteered we could be on the team with Jackson's preschool friends he did.  He was really happy he did though.

we told jackson to smile.

Spring finds

So when I get to a new place in winter I'm always a little eager for spring to see what it looks like there. Here are the good and bad finds from our new house.

we have a ton of this moss and other weeds in our yard. ideas? i've just been trying to pull up the moss b/c that's what our neighbor said. it's black in some parts from previous years of moss that died. brent has taken to the clover patches that are also very abundant. this is our first yard so we want it to look nice but we're kinda clueless.

So I wanted to make a springtime post.

We've really had some gorgeous days but I keep thinking about the newest blooming trees that I don't have a picture of yet. I know it's silly. I'm so affected by the weather around me and just love it. I know you all have your own gorgeous blooming trees around you but some how I always seem to think nothing could be so perfect as this.... til I drive down the road and think the same thing some where else. So instead I'll tell you about Jackson's best friend/little brother/baby doll,that he carries by his eyeballs.
