April Fun



Our little boy is starting to think he's a BIG boy now! He wants to walk everywhere by himself , take bites of food without me breaking it into pieces, put on his own shoes and lots more! It is fun watching him become a little more independant but with that comes a big independant attitude that is not so fun.

We have made a few wonderful friends at church in Scranton! We had a fun Easter Egg Hunt at the church in about 40 degree, windy weather that David loved. He quickly picked up on what to do and went straight to work picking up the eggs and putting them in the bag. Soon after he thought it would be fun to pick up mulch and rocks too.

He was always on the move so I can hardly get good picture of this kid these days so here's what we get...



Little does he know yummy candy is inside...he was happy just to play with the eggs!


My sweet BIG boy!


This is him trying to be a big boy on his own and eat the baguette.





This is our second time coming to NY to visit dad since we have to live apart now! We miss him a lot but love coming here to see him and the Big Apple!

  

This picture is for grandma. David hasn't had many pairs of shoes so Lance and I splurged when we saw these cute kicks and Grandma B had to see!


One of my favorite shows is Cake Boss on TLC. When I found out that we were staying only 15 minutes from their bakery I had to go! We stood in line for only 30 minutes(which we heard was really good). Lance got a cupcake, I got a canoli and we all split a chocolate chip M&M cookie...they were all delicious! I guess they do know what they are doing.



April has been an exciting month for the Pendletons! Lance was called up to the majors with the New York Yankees. I'm still trying to get used to that...We are still trying to take it all in and enjoy every minute we can!  He made his major league debut the night he got called up on April 15th-a day that will live in infamy...at least in our household!

The night of, I was a little too excited and nervous that I forgot to take many pictures but I remembered to snap a few here and there.

All the crazy New Yorkers plowing into the stadium.
 I thought it was just the coolest thing to see him on TV...even though he was on the field right in front of me.



On the mound doin' his thing:-) And I was snapping photos and jumping up and down like a little school girl. I think at that moment I fit it with the rest of the crowd.



Warming up for the first time in the bullpen...I stared over at the bullpen the whole game just trying to get a glimpse of him sitting there in his pinstripes. Little did I know I would see him pitch! So exciting.



Yankee Stadium. If you can make it in NY, you can make it anywhere.

One of the first things someone said to me when I walked in here was, "You're not in Kansas anymore." They were right! New York is another place and it doesn't get better than being with the Yankees!

I do have to add that I have driven through the Bronx and through nutty NY traffic and I am proud to say, after a little work on my aggressive moves and many honks directed towards me, that I fit right in...or at least I'm well on my way! Watch out New York, here we come!

Spring Training in Florida

I couldn't think of a better way to spend our last day in Florida than to go to the beach! Especially since we are going north to 40 degree weather...


Good ol' fun streaking through the house...




Loved giving each other some smooches




Giving grandma B some loves after her surgery!
We had so much fun here in Florida for Spring Training! We'll miss you but as always...we'll be back next year.

Here, There, Everywhere!



Since 2005 Lance has been playing baseball with these guys....


Then in December 2010 he was selected in a specialty draft-The Rule 5(too long to explain details) to make the team with these guys...






After a lot of stress and hardwork we are back with these guys!



We are grateful for the opportunity we were given to make the major league team with the Astros. Some hiccups happened along the way and we realized that Heavenly Father has other plans in mind for us! So back to the Yankees we go! Lance will be playing for the Yankees AAA team in....



Good ol' Scranton, PA. I went to visit Lance there at the end of last season and loved it! As you can see the scenery is beautiful. It has a pretty small town feel to it, which I love, so hopefully we will enjoy our time there this season!

Not such a little Bubs anymore

Today this little guy turned 14 months. It is not a milestone age but he has grown so much in the last two months that I wanted to share about my favorite boy.
*He is super close to walking. After watching his cousin Annie toddling around, he has picked it up quick. He has taken 7-8 steps alone and loves to walk around holding someones hand or pushing a little scooter.
* He has 4 teeth. Two on the bottom front and two on top...the fang teeth. He looks adorable and sorta funny without his two front teeth in.
* He is learning sign language. He knows how to say "please" and "milk" and we're working on "thank you" and "more".
*He is very methodical in everything that he does. He loves to stack, collect, line-up, pile toys in certain ways and places.
*He knows where his ears, head, nose, and mouth are.
* He is SUPER tickle-ish
*He waves when you say hi, bye, and night night.
*He loves most dogs and starts talking in a high-pitch voice to them when he sees em'. But don't worry, Jake is still his favorite dog.
* He does the popcorn action with his hands when I sing "Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree", and says "beam!" or something like it when I sing "Jesus Wants Me For a Sun Beam".
* He give us kisses with mouth open and tongue out! And I love it more than anything.
*He is the definition of content, happy, easy-going, sweet, and love.



Isn't he such a big boy now?








At the fair! He loved every minute of the chaotic, deep-fried-smelling, red-neck-going, craziness.
The Florida State Fair is an annual thing for the Pendleton's. Lance has to go to get his chocolate and PB fudge!


He is just our favorite boy ever...



How could we even think about going out anywhere without our little Bubs? Even though we hate leaving him we had a nice V-day dinner!
