a family at play

Pat had an early release day yesterday so when he got home we played in the backyard because...yep you guessed it, it was SUNNY and WARM outside! T & T loved playing ball, wagon rides and playing at the sand table. It is getting easier to play outside with Tater because she is very stable on her feet and she isn't eating every rock that she sees! Excuse Tatum's hair in her eyes, it was just one of those days.

Onto other exciting news, Pat is going to attempt his first blog...actually he will take baby steps. He is going to write the captions for each of the pictures. We will see how he does and I have a little feeling that he might end up liking blogging. It will be just another time I am right!

This is what Ty looks like when he's about an hour past when he should've taken a nap. He looks like this a lot. You can see that he's being propped up by his sand table.

Tatum needs a haircut, but how can we cut that hair??

Tatum mowing the lawn. If we had audio, you'd hear Kelsey yelling at me to take a picture of Tatum mowing the lawn. (By the way . . . I take most of the good pictures you see on the blog.)

Ty would look much more athletic in this picture without his purple rubber boots. (Kelsey is helping me caption ("it doesn't need to be, like, rocket science captions, honey")). In the background is the king of all batting tees . . . you can see what Ty thinks of that one.

Ty is solving the mystery of our sloped back yard.

Mom pulling the kids in the wagon. If we had audio you'd hear Ty saying, "Tatum wants out."

Tatum is starting to look a little like Albert Einstein.
