Beautiful Weekend!

FINALLY...FINALLY - spring arrived. After weeks of cold weather and too much snow we finally hit 70 degrees on Friday and Saturday; and 81 on Sunday. As a result we spent the weekend living outside.

Friday: Carter had his first track meet. His age group runs the 50, 100 and 200 dash; 50 hurdles, shot put and long jump. This was our first experience at track - lets just say the meet was almost 3 hours on a Friday night. At least the weather was great.  Carter had a ton of fun and slept really good. 200 is a long way for those little legs. Logan had a sleepover for the second Friday night in a row. He has been riding the bus home with different friends and comes home the next day around Noon. It is so quiet with only (1) child!

Saturday: Logan's baseball team had pictures and we start the season tonight. Carter's soccer season has been delayed till May 11 - 4 weeks behind schedule. The season will only be (4) weeks long. Don't ask but somehow Shawn got roped into coaching. Not sure how he will manage coaching soccer, baseball and hockey simultaneously.  Saturday PM we spent at the old house doing yard work - it goes on the market next week. The kids loved playing with old friends...Logan said he wanted to live there instead. We explained to him that he would have to start sharing a bathroom again and he quickly changed his mind :-)

Sunday: hockey practice, church, and our first PM at the golf course. The boys had fun hitting balls and practicing their putting. We had out first BBQ on the deck for the season - followed by our first thunderstorm with lightening. We also spent time transplanting a bunch of our perennials in prep for our porch project scheduled to start in 2 weeks.

oh - we are not talking about the fact that it will be back in the 30s and 40s this week. Summer is here and we refuse to go back!

I lost 2 teeth in 2 days.

Carter's Birthday Party at Chuck E Cheese

14 little boys with lots of energy!

Happy 6th Birthday Carter!

Carter was excited to get his street hockey goalie pads - unfortunately the shipment did not get here in time. So a picture of the gift had to do for a couple more days.

It may still be winter outside, but......

Spring sports are in full bloom in the Mayfield house.

Shawn and five other Mite coaches purchased ice time for the next six months and are running weekly spring/summer hockey pratices for 35 K-2nd grade Mites. We had our first practice yesterday and Carter had a blast.  He is our little hockey player.

Tonight Carter started track pratice. He really wanted to do it and it is only two nights a week for five weeks. Low commitment and he is with a bunch of friends. He will also play soccer starting in two weeks. I almost forgot he is also doing a First Tee golf program starting in two weeks for six weeks He will be a busy little guy.

Logan starts baseball this weekend and Shawn will be coaching his team. Once school is out Logan and eleven buddies registered for a weekly golf camp at the course next to our development. They get to play eighteen holes with one of the pros every Tuesday during summer.

Now we just need spring to come....
