Not a Belly Itcher

After practice on Friday, Coach told me he was going to have me pitch in the game! Mom was pretty nervous, but I didn't bat an eye. Dad took me out back to practice a few times and I was confident I'd be a star!

Guess who else was confident?!  Papa and Nana! They drove all the way down to cheer me on.

Of course, B came in full costume. Today, he's a skeleton complete with the new gloves Mom bought him for being so good when he was sick.

How many teams have a skeleton in their cheering section?!

Hi Papa and Nana!

Before the game, my teammates helped me warm up a little.

Gotta get the ol soup bone in gear.

Then it was time! I wasn't the best pitcher on the fields that day, but I did strike a guy out and got another one out by fielding the ball so I think I did my part!

and after the game, I got another GREAT surprise! My girls came to see me pitch too!

What an awesome day filled with awesome people.

and one awesome little skeleton :)

Thanks Girls, Thanks Julie, Thanks Papa, Thanks Nana and Thanks B for cheering me on!

Fire Safety

Mom and Dad went down to Columbus for the 2nd Annual running of the Mill Race Marathon this morning so we got to hang out with Grandma!  She took us over to the Fire Station Open house.

As you know, B is rarely without a costume these days. Today was a Space Ranger kind of Saturday.

We loved the Obstacle Course.

And the helicopter. Buzz was the pilot of course.

The Firemen are always awesome. They let us play with the firehose!

Hey Dad! We need one like this at our house!

"You don't hide from Firemen Mommy. Firemen are your friends!" We heard that for the rest of the week.

This year they had rescue dogs too!

and the vintage fire truck.

When you're Buzz Lightyear, you get VIP seating everywhere you go.

Grandma took us around to all the tables where we scored a LOT of free junk.

You have to be pretty strong to be a Firemen. These hoses are heavy!

Not sure what this Fox's name is, but he was cool nonetheless. We made sure Mom and Dad had an escape plan (lookout Brownie), went over the "Get Low and Go" and "feel the door" policies and I practiced dialing 9-1-1 a few times. Thanks Firemen! We are all set!

Apple Orchard Class of 2028

It's been a few years since Mom got to go on an Apple Orchard field trip so we were both very excited to go. We were even MORE excited when Aiden's Mom asked us to bring him along!

We couldn't decide if we were brothers or best friends.

Speaking of best friends, we found Jonah as soon as we got there!

This sign says "Please don't play on the pumpkins."  That's some kind of torture for 3 year old boys!

We may have tested Mom quite a bit on that one.

Our foursome was complete when Alex arrived!

We were SO happy to be together.

Look in the far far right hand corner. That's where we went when it was lesson time. Ha!

Jonah's Mom busted us and brought us over.

No sweat, we like the "Baby Bumblebee song"

Especially the part where you squish him!

More torture followed when the parents and teachers tried to get a picture of all of us. Yeah Right!

Then the Moms tried to get all four of us to stick our heads through this board at the same time! Hey Jonah!

Hey B!

Aiden?  Bryce?

Well this was as close as she could get.

Finally!  It was time to pick some apples!

We started out by choosing the ones at our level.

Got it!

Very soon, Aiden and I started wanting only the ones at the tip top of the tree. Mom got tired of lifting us pretty quickly. Alex is always the best behaved. He picked nicely from the bottom.

Look at that prize apple!

Taste Test.

Yup!  That's good!

Another almost good picture.

Then Alex and I took off on a zombie hunt.

Some pretty Moms.

We didn't get very far.

Ahhhhh!  They're coming!

Mom bought us carmel apples WITH sprinkles!  Cheers!

We had a bite to eat, then went to the park to play and finished at our house for lunch. What an awesome day with my best buddies.
