Some Days He's Dick Van Dyke, Some He's Bob Uecker

The boys have still only won one baseball game (and that was preseason and didn't count) but thankfully we have JR there to make loosing better.

He brings his own sound system and commentates the game (complete with music in between innings). 

It was drizzly and muddy last night, so I didn't video much.  And then I forgot to video JR's intro to the game (and just kept forgetting to video in general). 

 But here are a few to give you an idea of what he does.

This is Reed hitting, and then after all the screaming (see, I'm surprisingly not the loudest mom there) there's more JR. 

Chloe Tuesday

Since Chloe didn't want to be in the pictures yesterday, I thought I'd share some she was happy to be in.

Hard at work at my desk

She's using the doggie door like a champ.  But I still don't know how she got this giant stick/mini branch through it!

More ponytail modeling...not brushed

Happy Easter

Chloe had to be in all the family pictures this morning...

whether she wanted to be or not. 

I Stand Corrected

Jason was quick to point out that I said our kids were "outfielders" in my last post, and that they are actually "infielders". 

 I thought everyone that was on the field and not batting or running bases was called an "outfielder", so that shows how much I know about sports. 

 And if you want to be more specific about their "infield" positions, Reed plays shortstop and Kyle plays 1st base. (I at least know that.)

Speaking of Kyle and baseball, he disappeared for an extended amount of time on Sunday at our neighborhood Easter party.

 Had I remembered there was a face painter, I would have absolutely known where he'd snuck off to.  

 He reappeared looking like this. 

And if you're thinking, wow that's really quite low-key for Kyle.

The other side of his face looked like this:

That Time of Year

If the rodeo is over that means baseball games are starting.

We had our 1st real game tonight (which we lost) but we really don't care since Kyle and Reed played so well.

I even kept notes so I wouldn't forget what all they did in the outfield:

-Kyle got an out at 1st

-Reed caught a pop fly

-Reed got an out at 2nd from an outfield throw

-And play of the night: Reed caught a pop fly then threw it to Kyle at 1st for a double play

Then while batting:

 -they hit every time

-got on base every time

-Kyle got an inside the park home run.

We even had our first injury of the season when Granny Sherry hurt her foot celebrating the double play. 

Big night for the Ingy Boys! 

The Cowboy Rides Away

 The Houston rodeo is officially over today. We only made it out there 5 times. 

(I say only because we went 6 times last year.)

Here's my recap...and most importantly, all my hats. 

Rodeo #1- The Band Perry

 Kimberly Perry is gorgeous and has fantastic hair. She also had on really cute sequined pants.  One of the brothers (I don't know which one) had a man bun (which I'm normally not a fan of) but it looked great on him. 

Rodeo #2- Miranda Lambert

Miranda is definitely depressed about her divorce from Blake Shelton.  She's put on weight, and didn't look or sound as good. She did the same exact show from last year.  We (along with lots of other people) got up and left half way through.

Rodeo #3- Shawn Mendez

 I only knew 1 song he sang, so all the adults sat around and talked waiting for it to be over.  The kids loved it though, 

Rodeo #4- Pitbull

 Mr. 305, Mr. Worldwide was awesome as always.  I love Pitbull and love his shows.  This is the 3rd time I've seen him in concert and he never disappoints! Even Jason admits he likes Pitbull's show (which probably has a lot to do with his backup dancers).

Rodeo #5-Kid Rock

 This was the most surprising show. Kid Rock is super talented.  He sang, rapped, played the guitar, played the drums, and DJed.  I kept describing him as the poor man's Justin Timberlake.  He even changed hats 3 times (cowboy, trucker, fedora) so you know I loved that.  I would see him again in a heartbeat. 

We'll try and keep ourselves busy until next year, Houston Rodeo. 

Friday. Boo!

And, sadly, now we're at Friday.

There's been lots more swimming going on this spring break.

And Grandpa and the boys went to a Rockets game. 

 

The Rockets lost, but everyone got a free, pink (still not sure why they are pink) James Harden beard, so apparently that was awesome. 

(Kyle is wearing a chef's hat because James Harden "stirs the pot"... so the fans dress like chefs.)

And JR has continued working through his break by taking care of our neighbors dog, Biscuit.

He's actually taken his dog watching responsibility really seriously, so maybe we have hope for him yet!
