Right after Harrison's birthday, Lance had tickets for he, his dad, and the boys to go to the Supercross race down at the Georgia Dome. He has been excited about this for months and the boys were so excited. The night before, he came down with the stomach virus, so I ended up going. It ended up being more fun than I anticipated and the kids had a blast. We were in the Home Depot suite, so it was nice that they could run around. I think it would have been a different experience entirely if the boys would have had to stay in seats throughout the entire night. One of Lance's friends from work was there with his two boys who were similar ages to Harrison and Davis, so they played all night. Davis watching the race with Granddaddy:

Harrison's buddy, Tucker, was also there with his daddy, so they were pumped to see each other.
Davis played basketball this winter, which was hilarious to watch, if nothing else. He was so excited to tell everyone that he was playing basketball, but spent most of the time playing with his shirt, laying down, spinning in circles...Our friend, Brandon, was the coach, and to say he was patient with the kids, would be an understatement.
After basketball ended, Harrison's baseball season began. We are at the park several days a week, but he is on a team with the same coach from last year and a lot of the same boys, so it is a lot of fun to get to see those families again. This year he doesn't get to hit off the tee, so he has really had to work on his hitting. His granddaddy has taken him to the batting cages quite a bit and helps out at every practice, so that has also helped. He loves to practice fielding balls, catching and throwing and is improving in that area more and more every day. He has a lot of fun practicing but seems to get frustrated with the long games. I noticed recently that he was the only one without a big barrel bat, so we bought one and low and behold, he went from hitting maybe 1 - 2 balls throughout the game, to hitting everytime he is up to bat. I'm hoping as he gets better and better, he will get more enthusiastic about it. His favorite part, is getting to play catcher. He switches every other inning with another little boy and loves this!
I had to help in the dugout for one of the games and Davis loved it. He felt like such a big kid, sitting with the big boys.
Now I keep finding him sneaking in to the post game meeting with the team where the coach gives out the game ball...
He also got practice with Harrison's bat and I was amazed at how many balls he was able to hit!
We had team pictures last weekend...
We are so lucky to have such great coaches again...
I also got to go on a girls weekend with my college girl friends. We all went to Houston for the weekend and had a fantastic time. It went entirely too fast, but it was nice to relax and catch up.
Harrison and Davis are doing choir this year and they both love it. Harrison sang in "big church" for the first time this past weekend and did a great job (for some reason the video won't post)
Davis is getting so excited for summer and won't stop talking about the beach and the pool. Unfortunately, it doesn't feel like its going to be here very soon, but he will be ready when it is! He loves changing everyday into his swim suit, and has multiple swim suit changes a day. If its not a swim suit, then its a super hero costume!
Grandma and Granddaddy came to eat lunch with Harrison on Grandma's birthday. They brought Chick Fila and Harrison was so surprised and excited.
This past weekend, we went up to Marietta Square for dinner and it was cold but beautiful outside. The flowers were blooming and the square looked so pretty. Amazingly, the boys were being very cooperative and let me take a few pictures of them...
Davis randomly surprised me today when he got home from school. He was telling me about how he got to hold the flag today, so I asked if he said the Pledge Of Allegiance, and he just spouted it out. I didn't realize that they said it in the two's class, b/c Harrison didn't start saying it until he was in the 3's class. I think he is about the same age as Harrison was when he learned it since he was held back this year. He is naturally a more quiet/observant kid, and it always amazes me how he quietly learns things like this.
