Bluebonnets and Baseball....

Just two of the many reasons Spring is my favorite time of the year.

Every spring I get little butterflies in my stomach when the Bluebonnets start to pop up on the side of the road. The anticipation…how will the pictures turn out? What should the kids wear? Will Boochie cooperate? Poodle has been raised from day one knowing that he will be out in a field and I will take as many pictures as necessary. He understands that if he smiles willingly the whole process is quick. Booch doesn’t get it yet, which makes Poodle a little cranky with her. Brad and I learned a lot this year about dealing with a spirited 2 year old in a field full of flowers. A full tummy and some M&Ms make everyone more cooperative.




P&B share a sweet moment.





For these two, this is as good as it gets.



Poodle’s baseball season started a few weeks ago and the Angel’s are sporting a 2-2 record so far. Boochie and I are enjoying cheering on our boyfriends (Daddy is the pitcher) but really missing them since they spend most Saturdays at practice. Poodle explains the sacrifices with “baseball is the game that I love". Me too.

My sweet boy "pitching".




The boys that make my heart go pitter-patter. Check out the dimples on that Poodle!!!


The Rangers have started the season out with an awesome record and have been so much fun to watch. Brad tried his hardest to get Poodle opening day tickets, but with no success. He had to wait until game #3 (and that’s a LONG wait for a little guy) to see some baseball action in person. The three of us had a blast at the game and P even got to run the bases afterwards.
