It's that time of year again

Well, baseball season has officially started. Joe is the coach at Carson Jr. High and they had try-outs last week. I am very spoiled the rest of the year with Joe normally getting home from work around 3:30. So it is a big shocker for me when he doesn't get home until like 6:30 now. Needless to say, our afternoons have gotten alot longer and we get bored alot. Since the weather has been soooo nice lately, we have tried to spend alot of time outside. Keelie is very funny. She definately has a routine that she follows. Here is what we do when we go play outside:
We usually swing first. She loves to swing! She used to want to swing for forever and would throw a fit when she had to stop, but now she will swing for a few minutes and then move on to the next thing.

The next thing is playing with her balls. We play catch, kick back and forth, etc.


She loves to balance and walk along these brick things. She walks back and forth bringing me rocks and then I just throw them back over there.

She also loves to "help" dad. Joe has been working on moving these rocks so we can put a garden there and a sandbox for Keelie. She just drags the rake along the dirt, but is so proud to be helping daddy!

There is this little pile of dirt where she "cooks dinner". I don't know how she came up with that. She just pokes around with that metal thing she holding, and says she is cooking. She does make me some yummy cookies though!


It may not be that funny to anyone else, but this is seriously what we do everytime we go outside. I'm thinking that we need to get her some toys for outside. Then maybe one of these days she will go out by herself once in awhile. I know she loves having me follow her around and doing whatever she wants to do though. We love having a backyard now! I seriously don't know what I would do everyday if we didn't have one. I would probably go crazy! Anyone want to come over and play?

I do I do!!! We want a backyard so bad but at this rate we will not have one for a long time. We have our park 2 houses down thanks goodness and fake grass in our 10 foot back yard. So the girls do play out there. But I envy your yard!
