T-Ball, swim trunks, and a moth...what a combo!

Bear Cub had to try out his new swim trunks with our semi-Spring weather this weekend! Despite the cool breeze, he AND Zoe had lots of fun in the frog pool...always a fan fave! Doesn't he look big (and muscular!) in this picture?!?! No fat on this boy...despite all my attempts. ;)
BC laughing as Zoe easily gets back into her old game of picking things up and tossing them out of the pool. Just like last year!
Sportin' his new shark trunks! He told me today, "Mama, in the BIG pool, I'm going to swim 30 feet under water!" WOW! Wouldn't that be something!?!?
Mr. Google Eyes with his magnifying glass...checking out the moth!

Whoa! Daddy discovered this awesome Luna Moth outside our back door. BC was so excited because we have read about these moths in lots of different books, but have never seen one in person!
Adjusting the helmet...or trying to get it off?? Hmmmm....it's still up for debate.
Running to second...DEFINITELY trying to throw the helmet off!
Playing outfield with his Spongebob mitt. Yup, so official. ;)
Interesting creation he came up with...a fire truck on top of a stroller.


We have had a great weekend here! Saturday was Bear Cub's first t-ball game. He seemed to like it! Well, not too crazy about playing the outfield, but still got out there with his mitt and tried to run after the ball. These 3 & 4 year-olds are just too cute out there! Soccer is officially over...so the "big socks" got put away. Now he's got 4 weeks of t-ball. This has been a great way to introduce the sports to BC! I was worried as he waited to bat, because all kids had to wear the helmet to bat and run the bases. BC is not very fond of wearing ANY thing on his head. Any hat pictures you may have seen on the blog were taken QUICKLY, with the hat being thrown off right away. So...you can see why I worried about him up at bat. But to my surprise, he plopped that helmet on, swung once...the ball just dropped off the tee. Swung a second time...and BOOYAH!!! The ball headed towards third base and the boy ran fast to first. He really liked it and even ran on to second when he was supposed. The "game" was called early because of timing, but it was still a good way to ease into the new sport. Yay for Bear Cub!

  1. Great pictures! Especially loved seeing the nice weather since we have had rain, rain and more rain! Better than snow. The picture of BC with his helmet on getting up to bad is my favorite.
