Our Little T-Baller

Ryder started Billings Height's National T-Ball a few weeks ago. He had his first game last week (April 21st) He is playing his games on the same field that his dad played on when he was little. He is having such a blast. He really likes his new glove, new baseball kleets and Spiderman Waterbottle. It really is cute watching them play. Wish my family was here to watch. Maroon & White brings back memories of my High School team.

Ryder's Height's National Little League Team. He is #10 (if you can't recognize him by his BIG ears holding up his hat!)

Ryder & Sophia (our neighbor girl from down the street) Matt & Sophia's mom, Mary Margaret, went to Jr. High together.

Ryder gets ready to take the field for the first time! I think I was more nervous then he was!

Ryder's first swing of the game..."Go Ryder Go!!!"

Easter Weekend in Timber Lake

The boys and I traveled to Timber Lake for Easter this year. Matt had to stay home to prepare for the Biggest Foodshow of his season. It was a bummer not to spend the holiday with him...but it was GREAT to get to see my friend's and family. Tysen spent the weekend in Mobridge with his dad...so that is why he isn't in these pictures. We were in SD from Thurs-Monday! Ryder decorated Easter Eggs the day before we headed to Timber Lake. They turned out so good!

Janal & Karyl Bielger dropped off some tables in my parent's garage for their husband/dad's surprise 50th birthday that happened later that night. Pictured above Karyl holding nephew Cullen, Kannin & Ryder. My boys got into their chicken feed...maybe they really are country boys at heart! I always thought I was raising city boys! I would love for them to be able to explore and be wild on the Biegler Farm like I did growing up!

Cousin's Kannin (almost 4), Haylee (4) & Ryder (5)

Grandpa Roger with little Macy on dad's 52nd Birthday!

Macy did the cutest thing while eating her food...with almost every bit...she would suck in her top lip to make sure she didn't leave any reminents behind!

Surprise 50th!

On Friday April 10th...we had a SURPRISE 50th Birthday party for Jiggs Biegler in my parents garage. I bet there were at least 50 people there. He was totally surprised. Jiggs & Janal are very good friends of my parents and really a second set of parents to me. I grew up with their 3 kids...Lyle, Kyle & Karyl. That night was ACTUALLY my dad's 52nd birthday...so that was how we got Jiggs into our house for the surprise!Jiggs & Family walk in...."SURPRISE!!!"

I had some YELLOW shirts made for my boys this past summer. What better occasion to wear them than at Jigg's Birthday! Here is the backstory...For years Jiggs has worn Yellow shirts. These infamous yellow shirt probably make up his ENTIRE wardrode. Other than at his 2 son's weddings...in the past 5+ years...I can not remember him wearing anything else! I guess that makes deciding what to wear everyday easy. The above picture is my little guy Ryder wearing his matching "Jiggs Shirt"...however...Ryder's says (on the front)..."Yes I am wearing Yellow..."

(On the back) ..."No I am not Jiggs!"

Enough partying for the kids...Haylee & Ryder head off to bed!

Some party-goers stuck around for the durration... Here are my cousin Jess Schlosser and a friend of mine...Jeremiah Garon (aka "GUMP)

Timber Lake Easter Egg Hunt

On Saturday April 11th...the Timber Lake Court House had their annual Easter Egg Hunt. We took the kids to fill their baskets...
