Spring babies

We have tons of rabbits around our neighborhood, you can drive down the street in the early morning or late afternoon and see one or two in the yard at just about every other house. We have seen more than one in our yard and were pretty positive we had one living under our shed. Several weeks ago we found out not only was there one under there, but she had a couple of babies. These little guys have been so much fun to watch grow. They love to get out and run around and play. I have been amazed at how quickly they have grown, it won't be long and they will be out on their own.

Blue Wahoos

A couple of years ago, the Carolina Mudcats were bought and moved to Pensacola and renamed the Pensacola Blue Wahoos. I don't follow baseball so this was all a little confusing to me, something about the switching of leagues. Regardless of who they are, we have been very eager to attend a game. After watching the building of the stadium and the teams arrival in 2012, this year we finally got the chance to go. I was a little hesitant at how the kids would feel about the game, but they really enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to the chance to go again in the near future.

This is an absolutely beautiful stadium and it is located directly on Pensacola Bay.
We walked up the back side of the stadium before the gates opened to take a few pictures.
Cutter was super excited to run into his friend Aiden at the game.
Is that not a beautiful view?! The breeze coming in off the water doesn't hurt either.

The little boy in front of us was given a practice ball by one of the players. Since he already had one he gave it to Sailor.

Easter crawfish boil

Each spring we are fortunate enough to spend with the Marquis family for a crawfish boil and dyeing Easter eggs. This year were able to combine those two and I'm not sure you could ask for a better way to spend the day!

 That's a lot of crawfish!
Sailor took a liking to playing with them while they were still alive.
 
Time to get cooking.

 
Best part of the day was watching these two, you would think they were siblings.
Yum Yum!
We had so much food we invited a few local fireman to join us. Hank and Shawn were stationed together at Seymour Johnson and on the volunteer fire department there.
As big as they are, they still get a kick out of the fire truck.
Time to hunt some eggs.

I think Cutter was a little upset the big kids were faster than he was.

Dyeing some eggs.
 
Serious concentration.


The finished products.

Tball time

Spring is always our busy season. All three kids are playing a sport and our life is complete chaos, but I wouldn't trade those sweet smiles for anything!

The Rays
I think the kids enjoyed this a little too much!

St Paul Art Show

Cutter recently had his very first art show at his school. Although it was rather small, he couldn't have been more proud to show off some of his work.

This is a palm tree with the green grass and blue sky.


A rare shot of all three. And because we don't like to keep a slow schedule, we promptly had a softball game out of town immediately after the art show.
