Just finished a little boating and swimming at arbuckle lake. Had a ball and so did the kids!

Game day

day one for dylan

Dylan went to day one of his 4 week tball run yesterday. And even though it was hot, and his attention span averaged about 3-5 minutes, he still had fun!

His favorite part is batting. His running could use some improvement though, so I will have to train the dog to chase him more! Haha.

Their team name is The Blue Bulldogs. He got his jersey last night and he is number 3!!

So tonight is his first game, so it ought to be fun!

School's Out for Summer!!!!

School is officially out for Kaitlyn! She is a kindergardener now! My how time flies. She had such a good school year. We could not have asked for a better teacher for her to have for her first year of school. Mrs. Wyche was so great with all of the kids and she cared for all of them like they were her own. She was a great teacher and we are going to miss having her teach Kaitlyn. Now it is off to bigger and better things.

Jonathan did good this semester. Walked away with 2 A's like always. He is doing so good in school and I am so proud of him. I know it has to be difficult going to school when you work like he does and then have family too. I am glad he is going back to school to get his degree. I know he can't wait to be done with school.

Luau Day & Grandparent's Day

Friday was the Latta Pre-K annual Luau/Grandparent's day. Kaitlyn got all decked out in a grass skirt, Lei, flower in her hair and flowered shirt. The had a party were Grandparent's came and had pictures taken with the kids. Afterwards, they went to the gym (because it was raining) to have a luau. I know there was some hula hooping going on, but other than that, I am not real sure what else they did at the Luau. Parents were not really welcome, since it was Grandparent's day. My mom came over and went to Kaitlyn's class. Thanks mom for coming over and participating in Kaitlyn's school activity. It meant a lot.

Let's Play Ball!!

Tonight Kaitlyn had her first season t-ball game. The real season opener last week was cancelled as was her game on Friday, all due to the rain and storms. The girls all did pretty good, considering they have not practiced or anything for over a week. They don't keep score, just play for fun. Both teams did really well. Kaitlyn was happy to see my friends Susie and her mom Diana at the game. They came to cheer her on. We were glad they came. Hopefully, the game on Friday will not be cancelled.

On another note, Dylan has his first t-ball practice on Wednesday and his first game next Tuesday. This should be very entertaining to see a bunch of 3 and 4 year olds playing t-ball. The coach thinks they might need more than one practice before they play, I know Dylan will need more than one practice. Oh well, it is all for fun and to give him the experience of playing a team sport. We can't wait to see him play.

Dance Dance Fever!!

To start, I would like to thank everyone who took time out of their busy schedules and mother's day weekend to come and see Kaitlyn in her first ever Dance Recital. It meant a lot to all of us to have you all there. Kaitlyn did such a good job. She wasn't nervous at all. It was a long weekend for us all. Saturday started with pictures at 1 followed by dance rehearsal at 2:30 and first performance at 7. Then Sunday we didn't have to be there until 3. Kaitlyn looked so grown up in all her makeup. She definately did not look like a 5 year old. I am so glad it is over, but happy for Kaitlyn to get to experience this. A great big thanks to Phillip, Tammy, Heather, Austyn, Andrew and Madison for traveling down today. Phillip, I can't wait to see the pictures you took of us and Kaitlyn. The one picture I saw of Kaitlyn was absolutely GORGEOUS!
I want to say a very Happy Mother's Day to my Mom. I love you very much and hope you get better soon. I am glad that you were able to make it to the recital, even though you spent some time in the ER Saturday. It meant so much to Kaitlyn that you and Papaw came to see her.

Also a Happy Mother's Day to Ann, Heather, Tammy, Trish and Grandma Moffat.

big recital night

Tonight is the first night of Kaitlyn's recital. She is very excited tonight. I am really shocked at the number of people pouring into the activity center. Should be a fun night.

Operation Turtle Freedom

Tonight Kaitlyn, Susie, Zeus and myself all participated in Operation Turtle Freedom! Kaitlyn decided that she wanted to let her turtle free. So we went to my bosses house and his daughter Susie took us out to their pond where we let "Daisy"(the male turtle) go. We put him down and off he swam in the water, then made his way to a brush pile nearby. Kaitlyn was ok with the whole process. Me on the other hand hated to let him go. He would let you pet him on the head. Wouldn't even hide when the kids came around. We know he is better off in the wild and as Kaitlyn said, "now he is with his friends!". That concluded Operation Turtle Freedom. Until next time!

and another semester ends

A semester of headaches and late nights just came to an end for struggling student and web development manager Jonathan Moffat.

His two classes this semester, Program/Operations Management and Financial Management, were two very core classes to his future degree. They were also reportedly two of the most interesting and eye-opening courses he can recall taking since starting back to college in 2006.

"I learned a lot this semester about the basics of operating a business that I didn't know", stated Mr. Moffat. "I had no idea that the basic business decisions and operations could be broken down to simple mathematics and analytics".

Jonathan plans to spend a relaxing summer not worrying about school, but instead enjoying time with his lovely wife and two kids. "I just really want to enjoy some outdoor activities and traveling with my family. I think we are planning to hit a zoo somewhere and then there is always t-ball".

Jonathan plans to continue on his path to his degree by taking two more classes next semester. But until then, it looks like some summertime fun in
the sun for this college kid.

happy birthday madison!!

Happy, happy, happy birthday Madison!! We hope you have a GREAT 5th birthday!

God Bless America!

Today Kaitlyn had Olympic day at school. They competed in different activities such as hula hoop, 25 yd dash, baseball throw, etc. To top it all off, they had a turtle race.

We found two turtles for her to take to school and the kids loved having them around so much, that when it came time to release them into the wild, Kaitlyn couldn't do it. Needless to say, we still have a turtle here at our house, but I told her that we have to let it go into the wild in a couple days. Kaitlyn got 3rd place in the hula hoop contest. She got a medal and a ribbon. It was pretty neat.

The class all sang "God Bless America" and did such a wonderful job.

spring-time sunday

Well Randi has been hard at it today. Here is a sample of her magical skills with flowers. This is a project that was a long time coming, but worth the wait. It looks awesome!!




She also fixed up some neat potted plants for the rock garden in the back yard. I am waiting until I get a chance to put more rock in it for a photo. Looks pretty awesome though!!

Then after the plants and flowers, she made a killer batch of fajitas!! They were top notch!

After that she practiced with Kaitlyn's hair for her dance performance. Me and Dylan just like to laugh! Haha







Then she even had enough energy left to make up a special batch of Rice Crispy treats for Kaitlyn's Olympic Day at school tomorrow.

Needless to say, the kids are feeling a little better. Dylan's last high temp was early this morning. So maybe after 6 days of fever we are over it. Kaitlyn's eye is pretty red this morning. But we started her on the drops last night so should not be contagous as of her last dose of them tonight. Ready for them to be healthy again!!

Double elimination

Well we had our second game of the t-ball tournament this morning. Unfortunately, we lost that game. The girls got a break before their next game and we played the team that we beat last night. We lost that game too, so we are out of the tournament. The girls played so good, everyone is proud of them. Kaitlyn did really well. She started out on 3rd base, but because she was not paying attention, they stuck her in the outfield. Hopefuuly, with enough practice, she can regain her spot on third. We have practice twice next week, Kaitlyn's dance recital next weekend and her season opener for t-ball on Monday the 10th. Gonna be a busy week and weekend for us all again. Looking forward to seeing those that are coming to Kaitlyn's recital next weekend.
