I'm smarter than you are

Payton has been a smarty pants tonight, and had to go to time out immediately after coming home because she screamed, cried, stomped her feet and threw her shoes because I wouldn't give her a treat when she had just eaten a big chocolate chip cookie in the car that she made at Miss Gail's house today. Then tonight when we were outside she was stomping around again, I told her she better cut the attitude and stop being so smart, she replies "Why Mommy? I'm smarter than you are"

Go Hokies!

Last Saturday we went to the Spring Game. I guess Reagan was surrounded by so much Hokie stuff she decided it was as good of a time as any to say Go Hokies! for the first time, she's been a Hokie machine since then and will say it now when you ask her. So cute!

Reagan counts to 10!

Stinks that it's sideways but still so cute!

So I'm so glad I stopped long enough yesterday to go to the botanical garden. I realize sometimes I'm always doing something, because there's always something to be done and though I've been with Payton and Reagan I miss them because I haven't paid as much attention to them as I should have been. Like stopping and being patient enough for Reagan to go up and down the steps at the garden literally 10 times and hearing her count. I'd say 1, she'd say 2, she misses a couple in the middle but yells out 9, 10 at the end.

We climbed to the top of the treehouse, played in the little houses in the village, walked around the gardens and went in the butterfly house, though there were no butterflies in it now, we'll have to go back in the summer when the butterflies come again, Payton kept asking where the butterflies were.

We had ice cream at Baskin Robbins and when Tung came home we all helped make Chrusties for dinner. We tried bbq chicken ones and they were really good. It was fun all of us making them, Payton helped her Daddy roll out the dough and put on the cheese.

Oh to have more days where I feel relaxed, accomplished and enjoy my family like yesterday.

Baseball is back

Payton signing her name on the Inaugural season banner that will hang in the stadium the whole season

Baseball is back in Richmond and we had tickets to opening day, we had a great time...though Tung spent a little too much time in the concession line..they need to work on that a bit but overall these people know what they're doing and how to make a baseball game fun.
