Just a weekend with the family

So there's a story behind me buying this shirt... has to do with my friend Gina from High School. Long story, but Dude was the word of the 4 years. She got a shirt for her 2 year old son that said dude a few times.. so when I saw this... it was meant to be ;)

She can put a smile on my face every single day.... and she is starting to catch on to " smile " and get out of trouble

Best Mates !

Z man playing with James old baseball glove... he reacts the Sandlot play by play... such a crack up

Finally a night with Dad... he has been so busy with work and now Baseball... we are taking in every second !!

Zeric will take his Light Saber and use it as a baseball bat... again acting out the movie

I'm not going to lie... but my kids melt me

We got a package from Aunty Chelsea a few weeks ago and Zeric has been itching to try his new socks on. The first cold day and he was all over his cool new socks and his new moose shirt. Thanks Aunty Chels and Uncle Eric

Boomerang Field ... and Australian twist on baseball ! I love going to Jameso's baseball game. It's so funny because I can't say "Good Eye" when the batter see's a bad pitch. It just sounds like I'm saying "g'day" and everyone looks at me weird. Some crazy American saying "G'day" every time the batter doesn't swing.  So I just get a Bacon and Egg roll and mumble rants ;)

The wind was freezing and the kids were already sick... so we watched from the car... It was a heap of fun

My little mate watching the game with me while Little Miss Eira takes a bap

James is number 20.... getting ready to steal base.

To end our weekend we got some hot drinks and drove around the beaches of Newcastle to watch the surf

I signed Zeric up for a once a week activity called Sporty Kids. He gets to play soccer with a bunch of kids his age. He loves it

Little Miss Eira enjoying a day out in the fresh air while big brother kicks a few soccer balls

He cracks me up... after about 30 mins of soccer, he broke off from the group and made his way to this hoop. He has never picked up a basketball. He looked at the ball all odd like and decided to toss it into the hoop

First shot and it was in... nothing but net. He put both hands right up in the air and started screaming " I DID IT" a few times he screamed out... so I had to jump up and down and say yeah !!!!

Back to the soccer.... he's in the green on the left. It was so cute. If he got a little behind a few kids, he would pick up the ball and run it up to where he thought was right and then start kicking again.
