Take Me Out to the Ballgame.....


This was Drew's 2nd season of spring baseball and what a difference a year makes!!  Last year he played t-ball and never really got into it.  He spent much of the game "catching" mosquitos in the field. This year it was a whole new game!  First, it wasn't t-ball....they used a machine!  Second, he had some good friends on his team!  Third, he had an actual position (2nd Base) most of the time! And, above all else, it all finally clicked!!!  

Now you can find him spending most of his day catching his own fly balls in the living room, practicing his swing,  catching grounders with his dad or Sluggo (or anyone willing to brave the 100+ degree heat with him), watching the Dbacks and watching videos of past Dbacks plays when they aren't on. He's a self-proclaimed "baseball fanatic"!!  I love it!!  He is anxiously awaiting the next time he can take the field and play ball!










Trying out the role of catcher.... he wasn't really a fan!  Too much dirt was kicked up into his face :)

Washington DC

Last year, instead of a bunch of toys,  Drew asked for a trip to Washington DC for Christmas.  In April, during our Spring Break,  we headed to the east coast for some fun and exciting sightseeing.  Drew had a list of everywhere he wanted to go, read up on his Kids Book of Washington D.C. and was ready to go!  His two "must sees" were the Lincoln Memorial and the Spy Center!  
It was a great trip, exhausting but GREAT!  It was cold and rainy and we walked A LOT!  So many great pictures (almost 1000) and so many great memories.  It was Matt's first time to DC too, and he  loved it!

We arrived on Addie's Birthday!  And had a wonderful birthday lunch where she enjoyed some tiramisu! Yep, she's my girl!! 


 

Then is was off to see it all!  

Becoming Spies.....


The White House....



International Spy Museum ( this place had a HUGE line, cost a lot of money to get in and was pretty boring in my opinion, but it was on the list, so we stuck it out!)












Corn dogs and ice cream sandwiches from the food truck.... the kids were in heaven!


Addie could have spent all day riding the Metro!  She loved the "train"!

 And so did Drew!





The Air and Space Museum!























Lots of pictures, lots of memories, and lots of fun had by all!!!
