My little Shamrocks

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!! I think the color green is so pretty and I love holidays when I get to dress my kids up! When you have boys you have to take full advantage of holidays to put them in silly shirts! My sweet husband is so understanding and has learned that if I can monogram it or iron it on then our boys will have it! If we had a girl we would be in BIG trouble! I made Trace a shirt last night with a cute little tie! I think its precious! Hopefully these little shamrocks will bring their Daddy good luck tonight at his game!

This is seriously the best picture I got of them this morning.

HOW CUTE IS the tie!! I love it!!

Of course he needed matching leprechaun socks!

One last attempt at a group photo! Trace staring at Trenton and Trenton cheesing it up for the camera!

We play Creek tonight so I am hoping we bring some good luck to the field!

Boys and baseball

Tuesday we had our first district game against Alvin HS. This team has an AMAZING pitcher, but that did not scare our boys. They played their hearts out and it showed! We won 6-3! I am so proud of Gene and all of his boys. They have come a long way this year! Trenton’s buddy Brady was helping his Daddy coach soccer when we got there. Trenton asked Brady to come play at the baseball game, which was such a blessing because it is hard trying to balance 2 kids at the game.

My camera was having issues, but this is how they entertained themselves towards the end of the night (after a lot of running, playing cars, climbing on the fence, eating nachos and sorting out silly bands!). Spider Man on the iPhone! These kids have it so easy don’t they!! 

TERRIBLE picture, but my sweet hubby watching his pitcher warm up!

Veggies

So we are moving into solid foods and I have to tell you that Trace is not a fan. He refused to eat the rice cereal and oatmeal from a spoon so I put it in his bottle. I am now attempting vegetables and he is less than impressed. He spits it out. I guess I will keep on trying and if all else fails I will just try fruits first. I mean get used to the good stuff first, right!!

Hey Mom, whats that! He is trying to distract me so I won’t feed him anymore!

This look says it all.

Well at least he enjoys beating his toys on his tray.

He is still too small for his high chair, but the Bumbo tray works awesome! Side note: I did not leave my child unattended in the middle of our table.

Late night cuddle bugs

Daylight savings time + baseball games = late bedtimes! Lately we have been enjoying the additional sunlight in the evenings which means we go to bed late. The other night after the game we got home, got everyone bathed and all piled into Trenton’s bed. Yes, the 3 of us. We all passed out in his bed watching Astro Boy (Trenton’s new favorite movie). We are so busy these days that I am constantly trying to split my time between both boys so I decided we could all cuddle up in one bed and spend some much needed QT together! Trace and Trenton adore each other. I love how helpful Trenton can be and how he is ALWAYS making Trace laugh! They are going to be best buds and I love it!

I guess Trace told a funny joke!

Sweet boy is getting so big!

Almost down for the count. Blankets, pillows, paci’s and a Mommy to cuddle with!

I cherish these moments because I know one day they are not going to want to cuddle with me much. These moments also remind me of their sweet innocence and love for each other.

Trying to get a smile

I am never able to get pictures of the boys at Gene’s games. I also can NEVER catch a smile on Trace’s face. My sister was making him laugh at the tournament this weekend and I BARELY caught a glimpse of that contagious smile of his! Trace is really doing well at the games. He usually just sits in my lap (or whoever snags him from me) It’s great to have a support system at the field! I am sure one day I will have to try and manage both of them on my own at a game, but until then I will welcome the help!

Aunt Laurie has the magic touch, this sweet man is almost asleep!
