A nice surprise at work

 now, you will have to forgive me as this post is nearly two weeks late... We had a surprise visitor at work. Here is precious little baby Gage! Such an adorable little addition to our TTC family. Sorry for the poor quality of picture, but I couldn't get too close because I had a cold, so I'm using zoom! He's so tiny!

Sorry for the crazy photo Ashley! But doesn't she look great after having Gage??

We miss you at work Ashley!! Hope to see you soon, but enjoy your time off with your sweet baby!

A little happy mail!

 Got home to find some mail for me!! Excinting huh!!?? A week earlier I ordered myself a scrapbook kit from creative memories and it came this day!

 Here it is... a beautiful album and pages for it all ready to go!! All I have to do is add pictures and some embellishments!! Easy right!! Now to decide where to start??

 And here is what happened to the packaging that came with it....

Kindergarten Trip to the Barnyard

Eric's Class

Eric was so excited about driving the boat.

Feeding the fish

His favorite little chicken

Love this pic!

We had a great time, although it was really windy and cold!

Go Red Wings!!

Eric ready for his first baseball game! The Jamboree started at the end of March! The ended up winning their first two games!! Hopefully we can keep that up throughout the season!! Already a big improvement from last year! Glad we decided to play at Taylorville! We are enjoying seeing so many folks we know from out here and getting to know some new ones! It's great that the ballpark is right beside the school and large playground, because that gives JE something to do...

He had to have his picture taken too!! Little Stinker, as Eric calls him!!

Eric up to bat..

yes that's him under that hat!!We will spend many days and nights at the park for the next several weeks, but that's okay! We all enjoy it and it is a super way to spend some time together! We love our team and our coach! Sorry that we will have to play against some great friends and cousin - in- laws (is that right?), but we will have fun regardless!! Feel free to come hang out with us at the ball park sometime! It really is a treat to see these guys play!!

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz



I got to go to work late due to a conference we were attending, so I got to make sure the boys got up each day. After I got ready, I went to wake them, and this is how they looked! So sweet!



A Sping Chicken!

 On March 20, our family took a trip to Selma, AL to celebrate Jamie's grandfather who was turning 91! The spring chicken title is  what my grandmother called him when she met him 11 years ago at our wedding!!

Grandaddy Mac... the man of the hour

Blowing out the candles with a little help of course! You know my boys are never too far away from some cake!!

 This Sunday was absolutely beautiful, so we played outside all afternoon! Eric decided to try his hand at a little basketball... in case you were wondering, he somehow manages to always shed his shirt first chance he gets!

 JE decided he wanted to play basketball too, he found a small one to play with!

 Here is Aunt Sissy capturing all the fun...

 JE changed his mind about basketball and decided to stick to a sport he was better at! He is really quite good for a two year old! Jamie's Dad is the pitcher today!

Lastly, we got a surprise visit from one of the cousins! This is Eli, he is several months younger than JE! We were glad he could come by and play for a few minutes!!

March Rewind Recap!!

So it's been a couple of weeks since I posted anything (sorry), but it's been kinda crazy busy around here, so I"m about to do a few posts to catch you up on what the McDanal Clan has been so busy doing! Hope you enjoy and stick with me through it!!
