Day 70

Tonight Jackson had soccer practice, Emma had her first soccer game and Brendan had his second middle school baseball game.  We were going in all different directions to say the least.  It was a beautiful day though so it was nice to be outside!

Here is Emma kicking the soccer ball.  She did fantastic controlling the ball and playing both offense and defense.  She had 5 or 6 goals!  The Russian Rocket lives on...

Day 69

Today was Brendan's first middle school baseball game.  He got to start as catcher.  His team lost to a better team.  Brendan is the youngest player on his team!  Wow…that field is HUGE compared to what he is used to... we are so proud of him!

Here he is at bat!

Day 68

Today was Brendan's first baseball game  of 2014. His travel ball team decided to play in a one day tournament today. B's first pitch, first at bat, he hits a solo home run!   Not a bad way to start a season!!!

Day 67

It's hard to believe that yesterday we woke up to an ice storm.  This afternoon, it was sunny and 64 degrees with Carolina Blue skies.

Emma took advantage of the nice weather and tried out her new soccer shoes!

Day 66

Ice Storm 2014

It is March in North Carolina…when will this end?

Day 65

Throwback Thursday…

This is from Emma's first NC snow, December 2009.  Thought this photo was fitting considering it is March and sleeting.

Day 64

There is this one bud that is trying so hard…

It's the only bud on the entire bush that is this far along.  I can't wait to see the whole thing in bloom!

Day 63

Carson loves her cousins just like they were siblings.  I love this photo of Jack and Carson!

Day 62

As predicted, today's temps started around 58 and ended up around 25.  At lunchtime it started sleeting off and on, and then it ended with a burst of snow. School has already been canceled for tomorrow since the low tonight is 19.  Remember my post from yesterday?  We had sunny weather with temps in the 70s.  Our NC weather is so bipolar.

I want to post a picture of Jackson at his game yesterday.  He is attempting a penalty kick here.  Jack missed the goal (the ball hit the side post), but the ball bounced back out and one of his teammates followed it up with a goal of his own.  I will take it.

And just to show the difference between yesterday and today, here is a photo of the new tree swing (just hung yesterday) with the snow from this afternoon.

Day 61

Today was absolutely beautiful!  After a cold winter, it was a gift.  Tomorrow our weather turns bitterly cold again! :(

Here are some iPhone photos that I took today. I did take my camera to Jackson's soccer game, but we stayed outdoors so long tonight that I've not downloaded the photos yet. 

Jackson's team won their game this afternoon. I was so proud of them!

Emma was soaking up the sun on the way to the grocery store!

Then she pulled her tooth in Lowes Foods while we were grocery shopping this afternoon!  We had barely made it out of the produce section!

After we put away the groceries, we finally hung the tree swing that has been in our basement garage since last summer!  It is a big hit already!

And...I couldn't not post a picture of Brendan!  This is all I managed to snap of my tween though.  I hate that I don't have as many photos of him lately!

Today was a good day!
