1st Ball game!

Welcome to spring...we hope. Yesterday there was snow blowing all day and rain pounding down. At least we can see the mountains today. Last weekend, everybody made it to the local baseball franchise, the sky sox (AAA for the rockies), to catch a Sunday afternoon game. Well, when I say everybody, I should rephrase that to say everybody but ME!! I ended up having to work. But, Abraham went to the game with dad, grandpa, grandma, great great uncle herb and even uncle jake made an appearance. There was lots to see and learn. Sox the Fox was a big hit with Aber's, as long as he didn't get to close.

We are still loving the outside world, playing outside daily. Abraham is able to climb up the play set in the back yard all by himself, scoot along on his little outdoor riding toy, cut the grass with his own mower, empty the bird bath, and so many more things! He has also started to potty train. Talk about a full time job! I was exhausted by the end of the first full day! He is doing all right. He will sit down by himself on his potty, diaper and all, and work on going. He tells us each time he is going in his diaper by asking for help using sign language and then pulling at his diaper. It's just hard to actually go on the potty! We have had some success though. Enjoy the pictures.

Look Grandpa! There's sox the fox! Uncle Herb sitting enjoying as well. He LOVES abraham.









It's Sox!!










Well Grandma. That was a 5-4-3 double play! The final picture is of the boys heading home. Uncle Herb provided his chariot for Abraham's riding pleasure. The blog is being funny today and I can't seem to get the pictures and text to line up.

My outside man


No day is complete at this house unless your outside and getting dirty. This shot is after Abraham was "helping" move dirt and rocks.

Eternal happiness is a boy outside.
Kisses for dad through the deck! Abraham is turning into a super lovey boy, turning our faces towards his and then giving us an open mouth slobber fest!

Easter Fun

Happy Easter and Passover, everybody! We had a nice visit with Abraham's other grandmother, Bubbie, for a few days. He enjoyed playing ball. We hope you can come and stay longer next time!

We also had a lot of fun with Easter this year. Abraham really enjoyed dying the eggs, dropping them in the cups and then going fishing for them. His right hand was purple by the time we were done. We went to church as a whole family on Easter Sunday and joined Grandma and Grandpa. Home for a big nap so that we would have energy for an Easter egg hunt!! Thanks gma, gpa and uncle Jake for hiding the eggs. Aber's had a great time finding the eggs and hurling them in the basket. We ended up hiding them a second time outside! The weather was beautiful, dinner was good, and we got to just sit outside and enjoy the day. It sure is nice having family in the area.

Hope everybody had an awesome holiday as well!

Eat! He tried a hard boiled egg, with the shell on, and decided he didn't want to eat after all.

So proud of his product. Check out the right hand
Finger painting mad man. Figured we were already a mess, why not get even dirtier!

Eggs, eggs everywhere!
