MEGA PARTY!

Talk about FUN!  Evan had a field trip to the park in the morning and then the Mega Party in the afternoon!  So for me that means one field trip and TWO Mega Parties . . I spent the day at the school!  Poor Jayden is getting left out of all the fun, they don't party like this once you get to the big boy school :(
 Fun times with your buddies!
 I think we have lift off!


 That's some WILD hair, Evan!


Student of the Month!

Guess who is Student of the Month!! Yay Evan!  His teacher let us know ahead of time so we could be at the assembly (Evan didn't know).  He was so proud.  He got a t-shirt, a certificate, his picture in the paper AND a coupon to Chick-filet!  

TBall, Go #6!

Finally, some pics of our T-baller!  
Evan on deck.
 Run, Evan, Run!
 What a stance
 Wack it!  When I am sitting in the stands he will look at me instead of the ball, it's so cute!  I have to say, "Evan watch the ball!"
Mid slide . .  he hasn't quite perfected his slide yet

 Like monkeys in a cage
 Playing the field

After game snack - the best part!
It sure is fun to watch our T-baller!

Sweeping Two Week Sum Up

We started off last week with an Egg Challenge at the Allergist office.  This is right after his first spec of egg since he was 1!  The last time he had eggs he was in a high chair in our house in Midlothian, TX!  The first round was a tiny spec - almost too small to even eat . . wait 15 min. Then round 2 - a little bigger spec . .  wait - then it happened, that funny look on his face, a bit of panic in his eyes, rushing around of the doctor and nurse, instant meds :( His throat began to swell.  Totally disappointed.  This boy was yearning for some more steps toward normal eating - not this year, though. He has kept his head up  - it's nothing he can't handle.  He has been a little skittish of eating out and anything that's not real familiar to him since then - but he knows the signs and we are armed at all times with benadryl and epipen - really nothing has changed - we just got a little reminder of what food allergies are all about. 
 Tuesday night was the 3rd grade music program, Evan's Tball game and football practices - needless to say we had to split duty this night!  Kyler wasn't super into the musical - but he moved his lips and cooperated :) - not a great pic - Kyler is on the back row with a hat on.  He would have chosen to go to football practice if given the choice :)
 On Wednesday morning Avery and Miranda and I headed to Shreveport to see Mim.  It was a pretty good little drive but Avery was a traveling champ!  I didn't get many pictures - but it sure was good to see Mim doing so well after her surgery - she's a champ herself!  We spent the night and had a good visit with Mim and Uncle Mike - then headed back to NWA, super baby in tow and dodging storm systems all the way.
 Oh . .  just a regular Friday night at the Pitts house - climbing the walls :).  The fact that my children even THINK to do this (pretty sure Miranda and I never thought to do that as kiddos) boggles my mind.
Then a Saturday of football!


Pop and CiCi were there to cheer on the boys
 It's hard to tell the boys apart in pics unless you can see their number - this is JP.

And of course there were spectator tackle piles going on as well. 
On Sunday Kerry, Jayden and Evan took the new wave runners to the lake house for Pop and Kerry to do some work on them.  It was COLD - just to give the guys a little credit for their water sports work - probably not as fun as it would be in the summer! Then, we all met up at Crystal Bridges for our Spring Family Pic session - pics to come soon!
The boys had special days at school with Pop and CiCi and got checked out early and lunch dates with them.  Kyler got to meet up on his day with Me and Avery while Auntie M got her hair done.  I'm hoping CiCi got a few pics at school of the cuteness that occurred there!
There you go, a sweeping sum up of 2 more April weeks!  Somehow I missed BOTH weeks of Evan's Tball games!  I was at Kyler's musical one week and Kyler had to have a honking tooth pulled the day of the other - I WILL get some tball action shots before the end of the season!  Onward to a Saturday of Football!

Just a Spring Kinda Week

It's been a  rock star,
 a nerd, 
 a field trip,
 some football,

and a T-ball (no pics - sorry, I didn't have my A game on early in the week for that!) kinda week!

T-ball started for Evan last week - he has already had two games - pics to come soon!  Jayden and Kyler are playing Spring football through a NWA league but are playing with alot of their friends from Farmington - Great practice for fall!  AND - both teams won their games today!  This week was the "all important" school testing week - the Kindergartners had dress up days - fun!   To Celebrate the end of testing Kyler's grade had a field trip to the park!  3 games,6 practices, 1 field trip - take THAT April Showers!

Curious Boy

Here is just a sample of a conversation with Evan these days . . . (remember - there is very little pauses for breaths in between his questions and my short simple answers)

How is lava made . . I don't get it, how fast does the earth move . . .Where does the wind come from . . .How can you have three babies at different times. . .  Do you grow one, cut it out, grow another, cut it out . .  when does it stop . . How many people do we know in heaven . .  is heaven in outer space . .  what is the atmosphere . . How does your heart beat . . . how many times a day does your heart beat . . . did a meteor kill the dinosaurs. . . can a meteor hit us now . . . I don't get it, when did god make dinosaurs . .  what does your brain look like . . .

It takes a curious 6 year old to make you realize how much you DON'T know.  This is just a sample taken from our short hot tub time tonight.  You should hear the ones on the way to school - just as sporadic, just as difficult to answer and quite annoying to his older brothers!  I must admit sometimes I ask Jayden and Kyler to answer some of them :)!

Egg-cited for a Sheridan Easter

We sure do love us some country easter celebrating!  Good food, easter candy, animal feeding and mud riding!
Now THAT is a fine line up of Pitts boys!

 Kyler
 Jayden
 Evan
 Ever seen a goat do tricks for a cracker?! ha!
horse feeding and petting

It was  a great day at the farm!  These boys love to have the freedom of open land.  And nothing says spring and Easter like new calves!  We headed back to NWA with full bellies and muddy shoes -- the signs of a fun trip!
