A Whole Bunch in One Post

Sorry for such a long post, but I'm kinda behind and I want to get caught up. We have been so busy lately! On the bright side , there are lots of pictures.

So, this is what is happening in our back yard. Why you say??? Pool!!!! We cannot wait! I'll post more on that later.

Lots of trees down...lots to go!

Our back yard is so messy that the boys can't ride their rides except in the front.

We're raising tadpoles! We caught a few in the branch one day and we now have a frog...and one more tadpole still alive.

Can you see it?

And just because Noah thinks everyone and everything needs "rabbit ears".

We colored Easter eggs

Even the eggs need "rabbit ears"!

Finished product

I made cake pops for the egg hunt at church. (they are supposed to be eggs with chicks hatching out of them)

Cute idea...but I won't be trying them again!

Meredith and Bryan at egg hunt

Here come the kiddos ready to hunt eggs!

Show me what you have in your baskets Jonah and Jaden.

Noah giving me a big grin!

Jaden, Jonah, and Noah

Look how cute Sarah is!!

Everybody counting their eggs.

Jonah is super excited...Jaden....hmmm...not so sure!

Susie is excited!

Addyson is just stinkin' cute!

Now here I am trying to get a picture of my two kids and all Noah can do is eat the candy out of his eggs! :)

The whole egg hunting crew!

Now this is where the bad mama part comes in...I didn't get any pictures of the boys on Easter morning. Now don't get all up in the air before I can explain. We had a change in plans for Easter Sunday at our church this year. We had sunrise service at 6:00am, breakfast to follow, then the morning service to follow right after at 8:00am. So, therefore we didn't dress up. The boys did have matching shirts and Bryan and I wore yellow, too, but, nothing dressy. Shelia is gonna do us some family pics soon, so I'll post then. The Easter Bunny didn't come to our house that night. Instead, he came while we were at church. So, after church we got to come home and find our baskets. I still didn't get official Easter pictures of all of us. But, you get the idea in the next few pics of the boys and what they wore.

Noah is super excited about his new Dsi game, Deer Hunt. He has been wanting one for so long!

Jonah got a new Leapster game.

They both got kites.

They both got skipits. (I guess that's what they are called) You put your foot through one hole and then spin it around and around and the jump it. Have y'all seen one of these? They are pretty cool.

Jonah was proud of his.

They both got a cookies 'n cream bunny!

T-Ball and Baseball

We've been very busy at the Amason household! Baseball season has officially began! If we don't have a game, we have practice. One child or the other!!! They both have done such a good job. We are very proud of them!

  Here is Jonah ready for his first game (sorry for the blurry pic, trying not to use auto, but its hard!!)

Back of Jonah's jersey

Cheeser!

Batter up!! Look how itty bitty he is!!!

Playing in the outfield

Such a serious face! But, I love those fat little lips! (for any of you who know my nephew Zach, doesn't he look like him in this pic?)

His daddy took these pics, I guess this is a side shot?? Pretty cute though!

Back of Noah's jersey. (he has been #6 the past three years, but this year it was taken, so Noah asked me if he could be 00 (he pronounces that double zero). One day he asked Jonah if he knew what # was on his jersey and Jonah said no. Noah said it starts with a double!!! I laughed so hard! What kids don't say!

Praying before the game 

Patiently waiting for a ball to come his way! (this is another one of those "no auto" pics)

Batter up! He got a great hit this day!

Hind Catcher

If any of you have any tips on how to make a photo "clearer" that I have taken on my iphone, please HELP!!! Anywho...in case any of you don't know, Jonah is playing t-ball this year. He is so cute, too! He is definitely the smallest one on the team, but really holds his own! He usually plays right field, but last night when it was the other teams turn to bat our wee little ones went out and took the field and I just assumed Jonah was in the dugout waiting his turn. Oh but no! I saw this little body walking to catchers position and I ask, "who is our hind catcher?" Someone informs me it's Jonah! What??? Hilarious! The suit was bigger than him! You can barely see him in this picture, but you get the picture....right?

We ended up winning so bad that for three innings Coach Josh brought all the little ones to "big" positions. Such as Jonah at 2nd base! Oh, even funnier! He did stop a ball though and did a really good job. How nice is that of Coach Josh to let the little ones get the feel of infield??? 

Some Pictures

Here are the pictures I promised. They haven't been edited yet, but I was ready to post them. It was just about dark, so some were fuzzy, but I think we got a few cute ones!! The wind was blowing horribly, but thankfully a log had washed up on shore the day before which made for a good "prop". Thank you Shelia for taking pictures for us.

And because they are so funny...

Don't you love the wind blown look??

I LOVE this one. I hope it can be edited. Noah was trying to be funny, but I told him to try not to laugh or make Jonah laugh.

Jonah writing his name.
