Nothing posted for 2 weeks but have we been busy.

T ball has begun and if 4 kids, 2 at different schools and all their work, a 2 year old, new baby and ward callings didn't keep me busy this does. Thankfully Madeline and Rhett were able to be on the same team. They are the Royals. THere are 13 kids on their team and all except 2 are with in 2 blocks of us. THey have one practice and 2 games a week. Going to games is quite the adventure. Last week there was opening cerimonies, pictures, 2 games and then a birthday partyat the skating rink. This Saturday 2 games again, in 91 degree weather. Maverick was miserable I finally decided I had to strap Aurora down. THe kids were so hot and tired in their uniforms - We do this why?
Actually they usually have fun and after the game they had a blast on the slip and slide and eating ice cream.
To Rhett baseball comes naturally. He is good at fielding, batting, throwing, running. When he gets the ball (which is often) He yells and celebrates "I got it!" We all have to remind him - throw it to first base. Madeline wants to make a fashion statement and asked "Mom why didn't you curl my hair for my baseball game.?"
We have really enjoyed the warm weather, being outside and going to parks. We had a picnic with Laura (Fore) Cleaver and her family last Thursday. She and Dana Walk both live here (from Ephraim). Laura and I each have 4 kids very close in age. I see her at least twice a week and it has been really nice.
Maverick has a cousin that is just two weeks younger than him. Her Name is Sydnie (Heidi's). She is really cute and it will be fun with them so close in age and size, but very different also.
Aurora has found out that mom is pretty busy and that she can get into more without getting caught as quickly. I just don't know why everything goes into her hair. She has put an entire countainer of diaper ointment, base, concealer, and vasoline into her hair the past two weeks. She has also decided that she doesn't have to wait for mom, that she can climb up onto the counter and get her own snack or drink.
My kids seem to average at least one party every weekend - Why are they so popular? Do all of your kids have so many stinking parties? Madeline was invited to 5 one weekend but I only had her go to one. I guess at least we don't have to plan as many play dates when they see lots of friends at parties.
Madeline designed a dress and picked out the material and then Grandma Farley helped make a patern and sewed it. Madeline loves it. She is so into fashion already. She would rather get new clothes than toys - and she told me that when she was 5.
