Meeting Fredbird

Our church had a Relay for Life dinner tonight and they had a special visit from Fredbird. We told Jackson right before we left that we were going to see him and he of course wanted to bring every Cardinal's thing he could hold on to. So he took his Build-A-Fredbird and his bat. As soon as we got to the church, Fredbird spotted us in line and ran over and stole the little Fredbird out of his hands and ran away with it. Jackson wasn't sure what to think, so we told him to go after him that he was just playing around. So he ran after him . . . gave him hugs and lots of high-5s. He really enjoyed watching Fredbird walk through the people and do all kinds of little antics. Kinsey on the other hand loved waving to him when he was FAR away, but as soon as he was looking at her or got anywhere close she would just SCREAM!! She did start to warm up a little bit before he left, but still would cry a little. It was a great surprise for Jackson . . . now he says he is ready to go to a Cardinal's game tonight!!
Only 10 days until Opening Day : )

All Smiles

Warm weather and sunshine just makes everyone happier . . .
at least it does at my house : )

Catching up . . .

The weather the end of last week and over the weekend was wonderful!! We enjoyed getting outside again and playing. We took several walks and rides in the wagon.
This morning we went over to some friends in our small group to have him look at Dave's truck and to see their horses. Jackson was really excited to go see the horses . . . of course, he informed us several times before getting there that "you don't just look at horses, you ride them!" They were both excited to see the ones in the pasture, but when it got time to take a ride, they neither one were sure. Once I got on Dixie, Jackson decided he did want to ride, he hopped on with me and then he rode with Daddy some more when we got back.
Kinsey never did warm up to it. Unfortunately, she has not been her self much of last week with teething. She hasn't been sleeping well at all and not eating much for a few days last week. But she was more herself yesterday and today, but still not quite 100%. So unfortunately, I think that played into her mood with the horses. It was quite a bit cooler this morning, so they told us we would have to come back and ride more when it is warmer outside.
