Let's Play Ball!!

This turned out to be Isaac's last game of the season, it was a sudden-death elimination tournament. Here's Isaac JUST after he hit the ball.
Here he is taking off from 2nd base.

And that's him in the yellow (behind the guy in the red shirt and camo shorts) scoring a run for his team! The final score was 5-8, they lost by 3 runs.

Cici's tour!!

We went to Cici's Pizza for a tour...the boys got to see where the pizzas are made, walk in the walk-in cooler (BBRRR!) and try their hand at making pizza!

Isaac decided he was *too cool* for pictures, but Lucas is a ham-bone as always!

And of course there wasn't a bite left when they were done!! MMMmmmm!!!

Tooth #4...and another $1 from the tooth fairy!

Isaac yanked out his 4th tooth on Friday!! They've all been on the bottom so far...we're wondering when the top 2 will come out!

If you didn't already know, I will go ahead and tell you. I am a closet carseat safety NUT! I figure the most dangerous thing I do most days is strap my kids in a 2000 lb. weapon and go cruising, putting every last ounce of my trust into all the other drivers out on the road. Ok, I'm not really THAT paranoid...but I do try to keep my kids as safe as I can!

The current laws in Illinois are fairly strict, requiring a rear-facing carseat for infants up to 20lbs and a carseat for all kids under 80lbs and 4'9" (generally 8 years old). I have done some research and because my boys love NASCAR, we all know that the 5-point safety harness is the safest!

This is Isaac's new carseat. It is a Graco Nautilus and it will keep him harnessed until he reaches 65 lbs. or 57" (at which time he will be in a booster until I feel he's safe enough to sit in a regular car seat-belt) Isaac **LOVES** his new carseat!! He thinks it is very comfortable and he just loves laying his head on the little side-wings for a bit of shut-eye! Lucas is quickly outgrowing his carseat, so he will be getting a new carseat too, stay tuned!!

We've been BUSY!!

I am so sorry for not posting more! We've been busy!! I'll try and catch you up in a hurry! Isaac was in 1st grade, I say "was" because his last day was TODAY! He's now a "2nd grader" OMGosh! They did a little singing program back in May, it was about 1/2 an hour long, this is a picture from it. It's really hard to see him, as we were pretty much as far away as you could get! I need a new camera with a better zoom feature, but since that's not going to happen, this is the best I can do!

Isaac is the boy in the middle that's facing sideways! That's right, I didn't even get a decent face-shot of him!! All my long-distance shots are blurry :(

The entire program was a dialogue between the kids (divided into girls & boys) and the school's principal. It was about a naughty gingerbread man that thought he could run away from everyone, in the end a sly fox ate him for dinner! Poor gingerbread man!!
