Don't you just love nap time?

I did. But now, unfortunately, Logan is struggling with taking naps. It's getting harder and harder to get him to lay down, especially now that he can get out of his crib. He's been able to get out of it for awhile, but he hurt himself once and so he stopped doing for a few months.
 So now we do the routine of putting him in bed and him coming out after 10 min or so wanting a drink or to play etc... anything to avoid the actual nap. There are some days where I resort to just letting him skip it, but every now and then he'll fall asleep where ever he's at. Like this:




It was so cute. We had just gotten home from church and I hadn't even tried to lay him down yet, when I noticed he had already conked out on the floor. I really hope I can convince him to continue with the naps. I know he still needs them, and it's amazing what an hour of peace and quiet can do for a mom's sanity, so I need them too! :)

It's the most wonderful time of the year...

That's right, it's baseball season! (sometimes I wonder if it's ever not baseball season) Ha! Nolan made the majors this year, which he was thrilled about. So we are finding ourselves crazy busy once again with up to 4 days a week consisting of something for baseball. It's fun though. We love watching Nolan as he progresses and gets better each year.

I don't have any pics from games yet (I keep forgetting the camera), but here are some from opening day at the field. We missed getting any pics of Zoie because she was off on the bounce houses with her friends almost the entire time we were there.

Pinewood Derby (and getting back in the game)

Soooo..... trying this again. Been awhile, so I don't know if anyone out there is still checking on us (hi Will!), but here we go. I'm starting with current stuff and if I get to it, maybe eventually I'll go back and include some highlights from the last year while I've been absent. (Yeesh, its been almost a year, that's sad). :(

Aidan had his first Pinewood Derby a few weeks ago. He was SO excited to finally be able to make a car of his own after watching Nolan do it for the last 3 years. He and Jim worked on his car, Jim did most of the cutting and painting but Aidan helped with the sanding and color choice.

Nolan had a ball game the day of, so we had to split up and Jim took Aidan while I did the baseball thing. I wish we could have all been there because Aidan won for the wolves. Needless to say he was very happy. He also won a certificate for most spirited car because he went with Gator colors (of course). Here are some pics from the day of.

Hopefully I'll be back soon with more!
