Brooks and Maverix

This last weekend the kids and Randy and I were able to meet their new cousins for the first time. They are so itty bitty! It was so much fun, I can't wait to go down there in the end of June to see them again. However, it is a little bit crazy that our family has now grown from 4 kids to 6 kids. Family gatherings are only going to get crazier from this point on.

Its Time for Yankees Baseball!

This was Opening Day Ceremonies, each team was announced and each player was announced by name.

This is probably one of my favorite pictures ever.

Playing shortstop. Autry told Nana before the game, "I am going to have to play outfield today and no one every hits it to the outfield but its okay I will just look at Gibbys the whole time." A quick sidenote: Autry hit it to the outfield twice. :)

I never thought I would be rooting for the Yankees but alas here we are. I would have to say that his is the cutest darn Yankee there ever was!

Oregon Coast Aquarium

Over Randy's Spring Break we were able to go the aquarium. The kids loved it! We had the bought the Groupon so it was only $25 for our whole family which is a great deal compared to its normal price. Not only did we get to go the aquarium but it was also a sunny day on the Oregon Coast which is always a rare treat. Autry's favorite thing at the aquarium where of course the sharks. Claire loved seeing fish. Addie liked seeing the crabs and alligators. Addie was talking about the crabs (they were literally as big as Addie) all week. It was a great family day.

It's Opening Day!

Around here we LOVE baseball. We love it so much that Randy is coaching both high school baseball and Autry's T-ball team. Autry's team this year for t-ball is the Yankees. When we first heard this I thought, "oh well, it is just the name of the team." I wish this was true. Autry and Randy now have Yankee hats and Yankee shirts. If they where them anywhere else besides practice people will identify them as Yankee fans. That is embarrassing!
Today is opening day for the Dodgers. I was watching a spring training game the other day and I was watching the players I told Randy, "I feel like I am being reunited with old friends." I love baseball season and I love the Dodgers. For all you Seattle people I still do like the Mariners and route for them in the American League. However, here in the Poor household it is Dodgermaina all year round. Lets go Dodgers, it is your turn to win the pennet this year! Don't let those "stinkin" Giants have another go at it!
