First T-Ball Game of the Season

Due to the rain, Camden's first baseball game got moved from Opening Day to today. He was so excited to play and we were excited to see him play. Nana and Poppa Ron were able to come to watch him play, which made him very happy. He did an awesome job hitting the ball, however seemed a bit lax while playing out in the field.

Today Tomball Little League had scheduled the Grand Slam Festival which involved games, inflatables, rides and food. Since our game was early, the boys were able to jump on the inflatables and participate in the games with a very small crowd. 

 

Fun on the inflatables

Casen's Goose Egg

Poor Casen has had a rough go at school lately as far as injuries go. On February 27th, he was bit by a friend (Chelsea) on his right upper arm. She did a really good job, bless his heart. But you know, I don't ever get mad about that since Camden was a biter. I got tickled when Camden saw Casen's arm because he was upset about Casen getting bit and then I had to break the news to him that he was a biter at that age and bit his friends and left marks like that - he could not believe it!!!!

Today while at school, I received an email from Ms. Kathy telling me that Casen hit his head on a pole while at recess after he slipped on some leaves and now had a goose egg on his forehead, but they were putting ice on it despite the fact that Casen did not want the ice, instead he wanted to go back outside and play.

She took some pictures right after it happened. Luckily, by the time I picked him up the swelling had gone down some, but there was still a nice knot with pretty purple bruising. Luckily, Casen did not even remotely seemed phased by the whole incident. I guess this is when a hard head pays off! : )

 

Opening Day Parade

Today was the opening day Parade for Camden's T-ball season and he could not have been more excited. I was spending the weekend with my great friend Lisa helping her prepare for the twins, so I was not able to attend. Casen got to ride on the float with Camden and Shane and he had a great time too!

 

Originally, Camden's team was supposed to have their first game today, but due to the rain, they cancelled their game. Luckily, the rain held off until the parade was over.

Spring Break - San Marcos

Luckily, we got everyone well in the house in time to head to San Marcos to go camping with Shane's parents as well as his sister and her family. His parents rented a cabin for us all to stay in while they stayed in their RV. The cabin had a small bedroom with queen size bed as well as a loft area that had two queen beds.  There was lots of fun activities and outside time for the boys, a little shopping at the outlet mall for the adults, and good family time.

5 Year Old Check Up

Today was Camden's 5 year old check up. Honestly, I never once thought about taking him for this appointment until two or three weeks after his birthday when it hit me that I never took him for his appointment!

 

He was measured at 46 inches (96% for height) and was 45 lbs 8 oz (77% for weight). He passed his vision test with flying colors, seeing 20/20, and passed his hearing test as well. He is in the stage of acting shy and really did not want to answer the doctor's questions, until he started asking him about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which then he started talking. According to the doctor, he is progressing just like he should. The good news for Camden was he did not need any immunizations as we were already up to date!

Spring Break Sickness

I have been talking to the teachers at school and Casen is one of two boys left in his class left to potty train. I decided we would try during Spring Break, but knew I would need to wait until after Lisa's shower. So I decided Sunday was the day we were going to start potty training Casen. This probably ended up not being the best choice of dates, as Shane was up all night vomiting (20 times in less than 8 hours) so to say the least he was wiped out. Also, Casen has fought constipation as long as I can remember and still receives Miralax daily and generally has a bowel movement about once a week. Well we got up this morning and put on underwear in hopes of starting our potty training. I honestly don't know what I was thinking because he won't even sit on the potty yet. And of course, this would be the day he decided to poop, not once but twice, so after having to change his underwear three times, once for urine and twice for poop, I was already questioning my decision.

No pants and potty close by

When it was time for his nap, I noticed Casen was warm and checked his temperature and he was a little over 102. Obviously, not the day to start potty training!!! Later that evening, I noticed he had a rash all over his torso to go along with the temperature. His rash and temperature lasted all the way until today!!! And luckily, no one has gotten Shane's stomach virus. But now, he is fighting a nice cough/cold so hopefully he can keep that to himself as well.

 

 

 

I guess we will try this whole potty training thing at a later date when he seems a bit more interested in even sitting on the potty!!

Celebrating Lisa and the Twins

One of my dearest friends, Lisa, is expecting twins soon. I have been absolutely elated since I heard the news of her pregnancy, as she has been trying for several years to become pregnant. She is having both a boy and a girl, although they are nameless as to date. ; ) Today was her shower in Orange. I could not have been more thrilled to help organize the shower and celebrate her and those babies!!

The theme was pears (pairs) "Twice the blessing, double the fun, a perfect pair is sweeter than one!" and was perfect for the elegant type atmosphere that we wanted to have. Luckily, her sister in law, Debra, took care of the decorations since that is sooooooo note my forte! Everything turned out perfect. Lisa got a lot of clothes for her babies as well as other odds and ends she needed.
