J.T. Skating

I haven't posted many videos, lately, of J.T. skating.  So, here are some of the latest from his Hockey Tot 2 class that he has on Wednesday nights.  Last night was the first night he was fully padded and he adjusted very well.  That is a mom's opinion, of course, but I thought he looked very comfortable out there!

 Test out our equipment on Sunday, after we bought it.

Ready to head out on the ice!

Ultrasound 19 weeks 2 days

Today was Pumpkin's big ultrasound and we brought along both kids.  Zoe was a little more interested in the fish lamp in the office, but J.T. was enthralled!  He kept asking to see the 3D pictures.  Pumpkin was not all that cooperative, so it was hard to get a lot of good pics, but we got a few.  This little one likes to rattle and roll.  I am in for it when the belly starts to get too small!!!

The doctor said everything looked good and Pumpkin looked very healthy.  Baby is measuring in 4 days ahead of schedule.  Wonder if we will hit 10 pounds with this one?!?!?  YIKES!!

T-ball and Riding our Bikes

Today was J.T.'s first game as a Texas A&M Aggie!  He played great and so did the rest of the team.  John did a wonderful job coaching as well.  J.T.'s friend, Shane, even came to watch.

J.T.'s biggest fan, eating her chips!

When we arrived home, we told J.T. that his friend, Shane, had been riding his bike without his training wheels for a couple of weeks now.  He decided, right then and there, that he wanted to ride his bike without his training wheels.  So, we headed off to the grass hill for some practice. 

He did it!!!!

We started off a little shaky, but it didn't take long to catch on.

He was pretty determined that he was going to do this, and boy did he!

Spring Jam Fest

Tonight was J.T.'s Spring Jam Fest concert at his pre-school and he was awesome!  Sorry the pictures are not better quality, but it was so dark in there and the flash was not my friend.

 Getting ready to head to his classroom before the concert.

Great job J.T.!!!!

Luke Air Days

Today we spent the entire day at Luke Air Force Base attending the airshow.  It was fun and the kids had a great time.  We were a little tired and a lot dirty by the end of the day, but we look forward to this event every 2 years!

Yes, the belly is growing!

Cal Ripken Day at Surprise Stadium

Yesterday was Cal Ripken Day at Surprise Stadium.  All the t-ball, softball, little league and babe ruth players in the city of Surprise were invited to attend and take part in a pre-game ceremony!  Fortunately, the Rangers were playing and J.T.'s team is the Texas A & M Aggies, so they got a lot of cheers from the crowd!  He is #4.

Before we left for the stadium.  He looks so grown-up with that smirk!

World Wildlife Zoo

On Tuesday, we decided to enjoy what will probably be our last day in the 70s until November, a day at the World Wildlife Zoo.  The kids both had a great time.  Zoe loved feeding the giraffes and J.T. loved feeding the lories.  He loved it so much we had to go back twice.  We were walking around the aquarium and he looked at me and said, "Mom, I didn't know the zoo was so fun!".  Too cute.
