A Day at the Park

Last week Naomi took an entire loaf of sandwich bread and dumped it on the ground. I set the bread aside to take the kids to the park to feed the ducks. We finally got around to going to a park and we had so much fun!! There were geese, ducks, turtles and lots of baby birds! Julian made friends with a specific duck that wasn't afraid to take bread right from Julian's hand! Of course halfway through feeding I noticed a sign saying "Please Don't Feed The Water Fowl." Oops. So we moved on the the playground and the ducks were forgotten. Naomi had a blast climbing and balancing and drinking from the water fountain. Back in the car the kids wanted their leftover pizza and juice from lunch. Not long into the drive home we had some happy nappers. I'm so glad I get to do these types of things with my babies. <3.

PS the picture of Julian on top of the hill looks like a Bigfoot sighting! Haha!

Baseball season

I'm not talking about Major League here people, I'm talking T-Ball and Little League Minors!  That's right!  Noah and Julian are ballers again this Spring and are having a blast!  Both boys moved up a division and are doing great.  Here are a couple pictures from their first games.

I Am A Pizza...

Today I got to join Julian's preschool class on a field trip.  They went to Pizza My Heart to learn how pizza is made…and of course to make a personal pizza and eat it!  All the kids were good listeners, followed directions and paid attention to the manager giving the tour.  The class was lead around to the back of the restaurant to see where the employees wash their hands and get the ingredients they need to make pizza.  Then they learned how pizza is made and watched a step by step demonstration by the pizza maker.  The class thought it was pretty funny when the pizza maker threw the dough into the air and let it land on Julian, covering his head and shoulders!  After that it was time to make pizza!  Everyone worked so hard to follow the directions they had learned, and made mini pizzas to their personal liking.  I didn't even see anyone eating toppings (besides the younger siblings that tagged along).  Julian made his favorite kind - ham and pineapple.  5 minutes later and it was time to eat!  Yum yum - best part of the field trip!  Julian had such a fun time and enjoyed the left over pizza as an appetizer to dinner tonight.  

Julian rode the bus!  He's such a big boy!

Everyone got a shirt!

Starting the tour.  I love the expression on Julian's face!

In the back of the restaurant - seeing where everything is stored

Being told to not go near the oven - it's 550 degrees HOT

Fun pizza demonstration!  Starts out with a little bit of dough...

Whirls it around and stretches it...

Spins it above his head…

and drops it on top of Julian!  

feeling the dough

Pizza making time!

Start with a circle of sauce

Fill in the circle with cheese, more sauce and toppings.  Julian made cheese (lots), ham and pineapple

I made this little pizza for Naomi (she devoured it - after it was baked of course)

Naomi got to eat handfuls of mozzarella cheese while we waiting for the pizzas

She loves cheese!

Coloring while they wait for their pizzas to bake

Fresh out of the oven!  Time to eat!
