Ball games, birthdays, beach, and broken tails

We are loving all thing summer here. Ty started his first T-ball game last Saturday. He was so excited when he woke up he immediatley put on his uniform and came downstairs ready to go. Opening day was exciting, all the kids got introduced on the field then they all got a big surprise as one of the military helicopters flew over then came back and landed on the field. It was a long morning but Ty had a blast. Aidan loves cheering for him. She stands at the fence and cheers "sweet T, sweet T!!" We had some beautiful weather last week and we just decided one afternoon to pack up and go play at the beach. Aidan and Ty loved running in and out of the water. We always have a blast finding sea shells and building sandcastles. We had a bit of a stressful time about 2 weeks ago. Bailey was hanging out on the floor while Ty and I were playing Mr. potato head. Aidan was bouncing around being silly and landed just on the right spot and broke Bailey's tail right in half. The break has healed however he is wanting to chew on it so now we are doctoring the sores he has made on his tail. Ty is getting so excited for his big number 4 birthday tomorrow. He has requested pancakes for dinner and a pirate birthday party. He will be having a pirate party next Saturday at a park with a big pirate ship. He is most excited about having an eye patch and telescope for his party. Can't believe how quickly time passes and how big our babies are getting.
