Carson's 1st Game
Carson's first game was today, just 2 weeks late. At least it isn't raining anymore! Carson's game was at 11:00 but he had to be there at 10:30 to warm-up. They played the Iron Pigs. He was so excited and ready to play!
Go Bee!

Cooper's 1st Game
After 2 weeks of rained out games, Cooper finally had his first game this morning against the Red Sox's. He had the early game- 8:30. Cooper was so excited to finally wear his whole uniform. He looked so cute!
My little Cooper- you are getting way too big.

Go Cooper!
#2- Daddy's favorite number
Cooper loves being a Dodger. It's pretty funny because we are a Giants family. Now he thinks it is awesome to root against all of us.

Family Journal: Week 13: Mar.26th-Apr.2nd
Saturday, March 26th: Today the rain didn't stop, so no baseball once again. The kids at this point are sick of being stuck in the house. It has rained and rained, no fun! We spent the day hanging out, trying to come up with something different and exciting to do. No such luck.
Sunday, March 27th: Today the rain has finally let up. However, everything is soaked and flooded. It will take a while for everything to clear up! Josh had to work for a few hours, bummer, especially since the plane never ended up taking off. The kids built Legos and painted.
Monday, March 28th: Today Parker had speech. He had a great session. This week the clinic was honoring the Armed Forces. They made Parker a treat bag with lots of goodies. They also got Josh and I four yummy cupcakes. It was so sweet of them. Josh took the day off, with hopes that tonight Carson would have his first baseball game. Unfortunately, the fields are just too wet. No baseball.
Tuesday, March 29th: Today it was sunny. So nice! Cooper was supposed to have baseball practice but the fields are still too wet. We played outside for awhile when Carson got home. The kids were so happy to be outside!
Wednesday, March 30th: Today was Josh and my 9th wedding anniversary! Crazy, isn't it? I can't believe it has already been 9 years. Josh had to work most the day, but he got me some beautiful pink roses. We were able to have a late dinner and watched a movie together. The kids were so sweet, they were bummed we couldn't go on a date, so cute!
Thursday, March 31st: Today Parker had speech early. Emma had special time with Daddy. Tonight the boys finally had baseball, both of them, and of course Josh was at work. Cooper had practice at 5 at Fosket Ranch while Carson had a practice game at 5:30 at Carlin C. Coppin. Luckily, our neighbor Daniel was able to take Carson to his practice game. The kids and I went to Cooper's practice for an hour then we all went to the end of Carson's practice game. All 4 kids were so muddy because nothing has dried out completely yet. We got home at bedtime and everyone still had to take quick showers. It was a long evening, but both boys were so happy to have baseball practice.
Friday, April 1st: Today Josh had M-16 training all day. It started early so he was able to get home earlier than normal. The boys had great days at school. They are really working hard and are so happy to have recess again now that the rain has stopped. We had our usual pizza of course. Tomorrows the big day- finally, baseball games!

Saturday, March 19th: Today was supposed to be Opening Day for baseball, unfortunately, the rain has not stopped so it was moved to next Saturday. Carson still wasn't feeling very well, but his fever has gone down. We spent the day hanging out inside. It just won't stop raining.
Sunday, March 20th: Today was another inside day. When will this rain stop? Josh volunteered at a bake sale for his squadron for a few hours. The kids watched movies and played Legos.
Monday, March 21st: Today Parker had speech. He did a great job! He really like his speech therapist Alba. Carson earned enough tickets to help out the librarian at school, during the time Cooper's class went to the library. He thought that was really cool!
Tuesday, March 22nd: Today the boys weren't feeling 100%, just a cold. So, we stayed home and watched movies. The kids were all tired. It rained all day. It was a nice day to stay home and stay dry.
Wednesday, March 23rd: Today was the boys went to school. I had to get Carson out a little early. We had to drive back out to the base to fix something with our passport paperwork. It took 5 minutes. We came home and had an early dinner.
Thursday, March 24th: Today was really stormy and rainy. I think we got almost 2 inches of rain today, and it hasn't stopped yet. Josh had an overseas briefing and he learned a lot. Baseball is of course still canceled. They have already canceled Saturday's games and Opening Ceremony.
Friday, March 25th: Today Carson earned enough tickets to have lunch with the principal. He was very excited about that. Both boys had a great day at school. It was even stormier today. It's crazy. We have had so much rain.

Saturday, March 12th: Today we all slept in. It was so nice! Carson had practice at 1:00. It was cold but it wasn't raining, so that was nice. Carson is really loving baseball. Today we got his team shirt and hat. He is #2, Daddy's favorite number. He was very happy about that! Tonight the kids watched a movie. Josh and I caught up on some of our shows.
Sunday, March 13th: Today was relaxing day. It rained all day, surprise, surprise. The kids had fun playing Legos and Barbies. We had a yummy family dinner and treat. This upcoming week is going to be busy, but not as crazy as last week.
Monday, March 14th: Today Parker had speech. He really loves going to speech. He works so hard when he is there. Carson had early release today, so we had all afternoon to hang out. It poured so we were stuck inside. It was a long afternoon trying to keep everyone entertained.
Tuesday, March 15th: Today it poured. It has rained so much lately. The kids are getting a little stir crazy. It doesn't look like the weather is going to get better in the next 10 days or more. Because of the rain, Carson's first game was canceled. He was bummed. Josh had to work late so the kids and I made pancakes and watched a movie.
Wednesday, March 16th: Today we had our big medical review. The boys stayed home from school because we had to be out at the base at 8:30. We passed our medical clearance- so the kids and I are all cleared to go to Japan! After the meeting went and got our passport pictures taken, got the kids ID cards, and got some of the passport paperwork completed. It was a very successful day!
Thursday, March 17th: Today was St. Patrick's Day. All the kids were so excited to wear their green. Carson had a field trip to the Ballet. He really enjoyed it. We finally had an afternoon with no rain. Both boys had baseball practice at the same time in different places. Luckily Josh was able to get off work early to help out. At Cooper's practice we just ended up handing out uniforms because the field was way too muddy. Cooper is #2 also! I had Emma and Parker with me. After Cooper's practice we went to Carson's. The kids played while Josh and I watched Carson for a little bit. Josh had to leave early to work the Snack Bar. Carson had a great time at practice and is doing so much better!
Friday, March 18th: Today was a special day for Carson and Cooper. Both boys received awards today at school. Both had no idea we were coming so they were very surprised. Carson got 3 awards: Meeting his AR reading goal, Achievement in Math & Reading, and being a Great Citizen. Cooper got an award for Achievement in Math and Counting to 100. We are so proud of both boys!! When Carson got home from school he wasn't feeling very good and had a fever. We watched movies and rested. Carson fell asleep at 5 and woke up at 7 still feeling icky. He went back to bed with another fever. No fun.
