Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks....

Well, the time is finally here. We waited all winter for it. It's baseball season again...our favorite time of the year (along with football season)!!! Zach has already played two games with the Red Wings and Matt - "natha". Zach's first game was Saturday vs. the Thunder. It was pretty cool 'cause Zach was the lead off batter. Unfortunately, he started the season with a strike out (which is crazy 'cause Dad was pitching). But that was ok, 'cause the next time he came up, he killed the ball. The Thunder beat them 11-1, but the good thing was that Zach was the 1 point, his teammate Cal(oway) brought him in. The second game on Monday was much better. The Red Wings won 8-3 against the Scrappers. It was kinda weird 'cause some of Zach's old teammates and friends played on that team (Josh, Jared's little brother, Dallan and Ezra from the Owlz). He hit the ball at each at bat and played 1st base the entire game. Mom and Dad were really proud of him. He did really good even though he was feeling sick earlier. The doctor said he had a sinus infection, but you couldn't even tell. Anyway, that's just a quick update on the Red Wings. Tomorrow we will post an update on the Storm season opener against the Rockhounds (Joel Rodriguez, Matt's friend from school, plays on that team). Zach missed seeing his Uncle Pat and Aunt Rita cheering for him in the stands, but did his best to make them proud. Please pray that Matthew has a good game (he's playing 1st base too), has fun and that he doesn't get hurt. Till next time... happy baseball season!

Easter and others....

A Day at the Animal Park

Getcha Popcorn Ready....

The schedules are in. Zach's Red Wings start their season on March 29th, while Matt's Storm kick off the season on April 1st. To see the complete seaon schedule you can visit www.frenshipyouthbaseball.org . We are really excited and can't wait to start playing. The only sad thing will be thata our Aunt Rita and Uncle Pat won't be here to see us play. It was great looking out into the stands and seeing them cheer us on last season. But we will definitely be posting our scores and stats after each game to keep them updated.

We had fun today. The weather the last two days has been really nice. Mom and Dad took us to the Animal Park at the mall. It was Adri's first time playing there and she had soooo much fun!! Grandma Mae gave us some money so we could buy some cinnamon pretzel bites (our favorite). We got an Easter card in the mail from Pat and Rita with McDonald giftcards in them - one for each of us. They are still spoiling us even from Michigan. We will probably save them for Saturday, which is when we would go to the McDonalds down the street with them. Thanks for the cards and for thinking about us. Enjoy the pictures of Adri at the Animal Park. Till next time!!

Parent's Proud Moments

There are many 'f'irst's in the life of a child that parents treasure - first smile, first steps, first tooth....etc. Last week we experienced a 'first' in the life of our Baby Sista that we were excited to have witnessed.... her first Taco Bell Burrito. Mom just happened to have her camera available so of course we included a slideshow so you can join in on the memorable event. We are so proud of our Baby Sista. It seems like just yesterday she was enjoying her baby bottle.... wait, that was yesterday. Anyway, looks like Mom and Dad will have to start ordering an extra kid's meal on Mcdonald Thursdays.

Adri's 1st Burrito

A Day in the lives of the G-Gang

We are sooo happy we were in Lubbock, Texas today where it was nice and warm and not with our Uncle Pat and Aunt Rita in Michigan where it is snowing. We were able to go out with Dad and Tio Daniel and hit some balls off the pitching machine. Even Zach was out there. He got hit in the hand once by a pitch, but did hit the ball the other times. Uncle Pat was right, he is going to be pretty darn good. Alex didn't go with us, he stayed with Mom and Chris to play Madden on the XBOX. Matt got a 'trim', not a haircut, today 'cause he is taking Spring pictures tomorrow at school.

We haven't filled Pat and Rita in on what happened to Baby Sista Monday night. She fell off of Mom and Dad's bed. Her nose was bleeding pretty bad. We didn't see it, but Mom told us all about it. She was pretty sad, so sad she cried. She took her to the doctor the next day and they took 3 pictures of her nose with an xray. They called Mom at work today and told her that Adri didn't break her nose. Whew!!! We're really glad 'cause Mom would have been even more sad!!

Tia Chris and Tio Daniel came over today to hang out for a little while. They were gone for 4 days and we missed them. Tia's tummy is getting kinda big. Our baby cousin must be wiggling around in there. We can't wait to meet him or her. Mom took some pictures so you could all see her tummy. We also included some pictures of our cousins and of us. Hope you stay warm Pat and Rita and we hope you are having fun at your new jobs. Love you everybody!!!

Zachary leaves his mark...

Zach's first practice with his new team went extremely well. After Mom finally found the school where his team was practicing (30 min. late) he was the last player to step up to the plate. Mom was pretty nervous as this was his first time hitting without a tee (other than at home with Dad and our uncles Daniel and Pat). Needless to say, he connected with the first pitch and sent it rolling out to centerfield - solid. The next three hits had the same results. Looks like it'll be a great season!!! Way to go Zach!!!

GREAT News!!!

Just wanted to update everyone with some great news. Well, after many phone calls by Mom and Dad, Zach is finally on a team with kids his own age. He is officially a Red Wing - a really tough looking bird. The best news of all, the coach is one of Matt's football coaches - Donald Spoon. Which means that Dad will be helping out with his team as well. Yippee!!! We've only missed two practices so that's good news, too. The other news is that Adriana finally cut her top two teeth and she's getting pretty close to taking her first steps on her own. Needless to say,Mom says she will not be nursing much longer. Well, that's all for now. Peace out!

Hey! It's Us!!!

Well, our mom decided to put this blog together so that our dear Uncle Pat and Aunt Rita can keep up with us and our busy world. Unfortunately, they have moved far, far away from us. It's only been a week, but already we miss them tremedously. We were used to seeing them at least twice a week, sometimes more. We loved our Monday night dinners with them at Jason's Deli. But, we are excited about their new lives in their new city and can't wait to go visit them. Anyway, we'll try and make sure Mom keeps this updated at least once a week with the latest news from our lives. Hopefully, we'll be able to update it with Zach's baseball scores as well as Matt's. More to come on that. God Bless You!!
