Baseball Season, 2014

APRIL, 2014: It's time for baseball again! This year, for the first time (and probably the last) we have ALL THREE kiddos in the St. Joseph baseball league. Rhy is a Cardinal in the Rookie league. Asher is a Dodger in the Minor League and Gabriel is an Indian in the Little League. Awesome! (We have a busy few months ahead of us!!)

Gabe throws in a symbolic pitch along with the other 12-year-olds...it's his last year in rec ball! Sniffle!

He got second place medals in ALL the events, batting, running and throwing, on opening day!

Gabe and his buddy Jared show off their opening day medals.

Lucca turns 3!

APRIL, 2014: Lucca turned 3!! We walked him down to Fuzzy Butts bakery to pick out a treat, since that is the tradition in our family. He got a yogurt covered caterpillar cookie. It took him FOREVER to eat it. I think the googly eyes were freaking him out. :)

We spent Easter afternoon out at the vineyard. We had an egg hunt and ate dinner and just had a wonderful, relaxing afternoon.

Out to the Beach

APRIL, 2014: Took the dogs for a walk down to Lion's Beach today. It was so gorgeous out! They were eager to get out and had fun chasing the waves. (NOTE: These were the last photos we took of Roxy, who died a few weeks later, at the beginning of May.)

Lucca in the Garden

April, 2014: I caught Lucca hanging out in my empty garden beds earlier today. The sun was so nice and warm, that I'm sure this spot was quite cozy. But MAN did he ever give me the sink eye when I called him in!!
