T-Ball Star!

Mia started T-ball practice a few weeks ago and our first game is this Tuesday, against the Dodgers! She is so excited to play against another team for the first time, especially since Daddy is the Assistant Coach... Last week Uncle Ryan took this picture at practice. It's my favorite! She looks so serious.

Touchdown!

Brandon has finally entered the stage of learning and mimicing our actions! Here he is doing his famous TOUCHDOWN! He holds up one finger when you ask him how old he is, and the cutest is when you ask him, "Where is Brandon?". He promptly covers both of his eyes to hide... He is such a sweet little boy! You may notice Aubrey's absence in this series of photos. Unfortunately, he is still advancing far more rapidly than she is. The good news is that she is definitely progressing, but still very slowly... She rolls over, sits up and tries to crawl, but isn't quite there yet. Which isn't good at almost 13 months. The specialists assure us she is fine, but we'll feel better when she is crawling & then walking! The physical therapy sessions she attends definitely seem to be helping, but her attitude doesn't. All of her therapists have shared with us what a stubborn little child she is! Great, lucky us... She sure is a sweetie though!

Mrs. Brandon?!?!

Poor boy has to grow up with two sisters who love to dress him up like a woman! It's funny, because Mia has, for some time now, been adamant that she is not a girl, she is a tomboy... Yet, she loves to make Brandon into a little girl. You may notice that every picture with the two of them has her smiling, and boy sharing a look of mild panic! Aren't siblings fun?!?!

The Passenger!

These two sure have a lot of fun together! Brando is always cruising all over the house in his walker, and big sister Mia decided she'd hop on for a ride... It was great, the strong little boy continued to cruise around the house with Mia on back!

Spring Training!

So here is the best story! Mommy & Daddy go away for the weekend with Mia, leaving the twins at home with Kassy, a babysitter we use who has become one of the family. On Sunday morning Momma says she misses the twins and feels bad that we left them home. A few hours later Kassy texts this picture to Mommy and announces that she's taken Brandon & Aubrey to their first Spring Training baseball game... How bout that? Brandon spends his Sunday afternoon hanging at the ball park with a couple young ladies, while Momma's feeling bad for him! Daddy hasn't even made it to a game yet this year... These kids have the life! Apparently all the beer & hot dogs wore them out, cause they were tired when we got home!

Sledding in Flagstaff

It's been quite a while since Mommy & Daddy got quality time alone with the midget. So we left the twins in the caring hands of Kassy, and headed up to Flagstaff for the weekend. Mia's last sledding experience was when she was 2 years old and face planted on her first run. So we were hoping for a better experience this go round. Thankfully she had an absolute blast! The first run scared her a bit as she wasn't expecting the speed and bumps. After a few runs she really got into it and had a blast! She even made a few runs on her own... After a long day of snow play, we headed to downtown Flagstaff for a pizza & some warm milk. A fantastic day!

Snow Play!

After working up a sweat sledding, we decided to wander off into the woods and build a snow man. The snow was starting it's spring thaw, so while we couldn't make snow angels, we sure could make snow balls to throw at Mom!! Mia loved it...

Off Roading!

On Sunday we drove down from Flagstaff to Sedona for the afternoon. Along the way we took a little off roading excursion in Daddy's new 4x4. Mia was thrilled that she was able to sit up front with Mommy & Daddy while on the trails... We stopped off for a photo op with two of the world's most beautiful women!
