The Bare Family

Today was Zane's first tball practice.  I must admit it did NOT go as I had hoped it would.  He was "scared" to go to practice so it def took some bribing on mommy's part to just get him to go.  I'm beyond glad that I had Mary watch Peyton because it made this first practice a bit easier.  Once there he just wanted to sit on the bleachers.  After a bit a talking he decided to join the other kids who were just having fun running around on the field.  Once practice started and the kids were asked to line up so that they could run bases the fun began... He flat out refused.  :/  He fell in line after mommy threatening a bit... ran the bases great and with a smile on his face.  Next up was playing in the outfield.  He did great as long as he was catching and throwing... the down time between was FULL of whining!  Then came hitting... he did GREAT hitting off the Tee.  However, he didn't understand that he was suppose to throw hi...

Again.. Slacking on pics for this post.  Plans for today were for the kids and I to meet Heather and her kids at the bounce house place in Fernandina.  However, this nice storm rolled in yesterday morning and was SUPPOSE to last all day today.  So we changed up plans a bit and her and the kids came over to our house as well as Nicole and Miss Macy.  The kids seemed to have an absolutely GREAT time!  I can't wait till summer time when we can do some playdates outside in the pool with ALL the kids!

Oh how I LOVE mommy days!  No pics to share because I mainly just ran errands all day, but it was SO nice to do everything I needed in ONE day in PEACE AND QUIET!  I had planned on getting a mani/pedi but missed my morning appt because I left the house too late  :(  But I did manage to go to see Safe Haven before heading home!  Def think that books are better than the movies but we all know that's because there is no time restraint.  But overall thought it was a great movie!

We headed out in today's chilly weather to celebrate Ally's 1st birthday!  The kids had a blast at her carnival themed party... I think we all just wished that we had that good ole florida weather!!!  Happy Birthday Miss Ally!!  And thanks for having us!!

Not too much going on here except some unpacking and unwinding!  The kids got their valentines day chocolates and we made cookies with Parks and Dravyn when they got home from school. Then to top it off... pink heart shaped pancakes for dinner!  Overall a great day!!

We headed to build a bear today with Mary, Dravyn and Parks.... this counted as the kids Valentines Day gifts.  Zane lost interest pretty quickly so momma ended up picking out his monkey's outfit... but once in the car he didn't stop playing with it.   Peyton wasn't too sure of what was going on and wanted everything! ha!  She left with a Cinderella bunny.  And then while picking out the kids outfits I ran across a set of air force blues!!  I just couldn't resist making Dean a bear too!!!

We're HOME!!!  After a LONG two day drive in bad weather may I add... We've finally made it HOME!!!  I can't thank Mrs Bennett enough for not only helping us get out there but helping us make it home as well.   So happy to be home and get back into our normal routine!

In with the NEW! Went today to change up my look a bit!  I'm absolutely in LOVE with the color!!

Since deciding that the kids and I will be heading home next week before Valentines day I decided to make a box to give Dean before we left.  Wonder if he'll really wait...

Rotten little girl screamed until daddy gave her his hat.

The weather was suppose to hit 72 today so I figured we'd head to the base a little early so that I could let the kids play on the playground and burn some energy!  Well... I didn't know that it was only a whopping 54 at the base! UH!  I can't wait to be back in FL!!  I did end up letting the kids play for about 30 min before making them get in the car and warm up! ha!

Decided to play around a bit since we won't be home for Valentines Day for me to take the ones I has planned... though I will be taking them after since I have everything, ha!
