We would just like to thank everybody for all the emails we've received saying that you are enjoying the blog. Also, thanks for the concern re: the burglary the last time we went to Roanoke. We went to court this past Tuesday from 1:30 to 7:30. The bond for the man was set at $50,000. He couldn't make bail and we believe that he will either be sent back to Mexico or prison. We really appreciate your thoughts and the special neighbor who took the time to notice the man walking down the street and knew he didn't fit in.
This is what we saw when we pulled up to the field for Brady's
first t-ball game of the season.

Mom and Brady start walking toward the field. Can you believe

how tall he is getting?

Blake, Mom & Brady go to talk with his coach. It was determined that the field

was in no condition to play. We were disappointed not to see the game.

But, we were very GLAD to be able to spend some time with Brady. Thanks, Mom. Notice Brady's number on his shirt. (It's the same number of Kevin Harvick's car.) So, here is Kanga & Brady heading out to have some fun.

Eventhough he didn't get to play ball, the weather wasn't so bad that we couldn't go ride go carts. Here Kanga and Brady are strategizing.
According to his finger, Brady is letting Roo know that he intends to be #1 like his favorite Nascar driver, Kevin Harvick.
All is going well. Team Brady is hanging in there.
Way to go Kanga & Brady!!
Well, all was going well until the guy in the back (in the red car) decided to bump Team Brady. As you can see, Brady did not take too kindly to being bumped by this guy. He kept telling Kanga to "hold him off".
Since there was no ballgame, we decided to to the nearest batting cage which happened to have a t-ball section. Here Kanga is helping Brady set up the T.
He was just getting warmed up.
Check out the determination on this face.
This was a great hit!
But this one says it all. He really enjoyed the batting cage! All he wanted to do was hit it to third base. Kanga told him how to stand to get it to that direction. Once he got the hang of it, he was thrilled.

It was time for us to take Brady home. So we took a few pictures before we left. We had had a great time with him.
Of course, Kanga and Brady had to have a picture showing their #1. Team Brady is ahead so far this year in racing. But the season isn't over yet guys.
Brady always has to tell Sasha "Bye". Gracie may play with Brady in the house, but he says that Sasha is the good dog. Here you can see Sasha running over to be with him. Hurry back Boo!!
Brady came down for Dennis's nephew's wedding. We were really tickled that he got to spend the weekend with us! You ask what this picture has to do with him coming for a wedding? Well, Gracie loves it when Brady comes because we all, including Gracie play "battle blocks". So here Gracie is waiting for the game to begin.
The game is getting ready to start. So Gracie is waiting.


Brady is dividing the blocks up so we start out evenly.
Here you can see Gracie getting her block and heading for the couch.
After all that playing, poor Gracie is tired. Check out the tongue. We all had fun!!

When Brady decided he was ready to do something else, he and Kanga had a conversation re: choices.
We decided to go to the mall to see if there was an arcade. Brady was convinced there wasn't. But, surprise, there was. With a pool table. So guess what we did? Here is Kanga and Boo on the way to the mall.


It's so hard to believe that Brady is big enough to do this. It's amazing how he is becoming such a big boy.
Of course, he was determined to beat Roo. HE DID!!!
Of course, he had to explain some of his rules.

We went to eat lunch with Brady. Mrs. Wells usually allows us time after lunch to read to the class. Does anyone at the front look familiar?
Look at the faces on the kids. It is a very special class.
After school, Brady wanted to skating. No we're not crazy. The skating rink was not open, so Brady opted for bowling.
He got a couple of strikes.
Look at that face!! He was very excited about that roll.
Tori and Peyton came to visit a couple of weeks ago. Tori became Gracie's new friend.
It cannot be said that Gracie isn't a friendly dog and she really was friendly with Tori.


It was very difficult to get a picture of Peyton. She is definately like her aunt. But I was finally able to sneak up on her. Ha Ha Peyton.!!

The girls came up to help me with my Webkinz site. Brady set it up for me but I needed a little bit more help. Thanks girls.



Is this an angelic face on Easter morning, or what?

Brady and Kendal decided that we needed some
music!!

Kendal wanted Roo and Kanga to come watch her at
"nastics". Here she is in a foam pit.

Kanga and Kendal were getting ready to play "monkey".

Kendal is showing Kanga how she does her "nastics".

Izzy is telling Mom & Dad about the baseball game and
what a good job she did cheerleading.


I'm really having a hard time getting some of these
pictures rotated. But here, it's Easter morning and
Brady didn't want to hurt the Easter Bunny's feelings
by not eating any candy.

Izzy's candy was in the form of liquid.

What is wrong with this picture? Well, three of the people
are participating in the picture. But there is one little girl who
is doing her own thing. Isn't she funny?

Well, at least Katie is ready for Easter.

Brady had asked for another Kevin Harvick hat from the Bristol race. So we got him one. But there was a surprise for Roo. Each week at school, if the kids don't get any numbers (numbers are bad), they can get a prize out of the treasure box. This week Brady got Roo a Jeff Gordon hat instead of getting himself something. This warmed Roo's heart. So here we are with our hats. Thank you Brady.

Kanga and Brady couldn't leave well enough alone. They had to have another picture with Brady showing that his driver was #1.

Thank goodness, Kendall decided to join Roo's team, at least for the moment.


All of that cheerleading tuckered Izzy out and she had to snooze on Kanga's lap.


But not Kendall. Once she got out of the hottub and got dressed, she was ready to go again.
