Whiffle Ball!

Paul and the boys have really gotten into whiffle ball this spring/summer.  Ryan has come a long way in being able to hit the ball and Aaron has even started trying when they let him!  We have a 5 gallon bucket of balls that they hit and then pick up and start over again.  It is very entertaining and I wanted to share some pictures with you



So far, good stance....chicken wing up and smile on face...just need to bend his knees!

Need to work on keeping his eyes open as he is swinging!!

Good follow through!

Pitching to his daddy...always has a backup ball in the other hand

Aaron still needs a lot of work on his stance!

Baby Sadler #3

On April 2nd we told the boys about the upcoming addition to our family in October.  Here is Ryan's response.

After Aaron woke up from his nap, we had Ryan tell him the big news.....it was hilarius to see his expression and in our opinion his enthusiasm (or lack thereof) in becoming the middle child :)  Don't worry Aaron we will always love you!!!

Tidbits from Daddy

On June 4, Ryan took his first big boy shower and loved it. He has insisted on taking a shower instead of a bath every day since.

Aaron finally started saying his name about two weeks ago. Before that, he would only say "me".

Ryan is currently obsessed with playing Mario Kart on Wii.

That is all.

Easter day!

This year's Easter was fairly eventful with the news of another baby Sadler coming in October.  Many of our extended family members did not know yet, so we had the fun of spreading the news!  We started the day with the Zirkle clan, went to the Sadler's, and then to the Moenters to end the evening.  Most of the pictures are from the Moenters where all of the 2nd cousins were able to pose for a picture minus Emma and Kaitlyn who were in Georgia!  What a great time these kids had playing together!  Ryan also has another best friend-Austin Moenter.  He was especially excited to find out that he is a cousin and they will always be able to get together!  The funniest part of the night was when Austin wouldn't leave without Ryan's phone number and Ryan invited Austin to Myrtle Beach with us!  I hope they will always remember the special bond of family!

Snack time!

Easter Bunny Trail!

Around Easter, St. Marys has an Easter Bunny Trail.  Several of the local businesses get on a list/map and allow the children to walk around town (drive to some of them) and get candy/coupons/prizes.  There is also the chance to meet the Easter bunny!  This was the first year that we participated and the boys seemed to have a really good time!  Of course we went with Ryan's best bud Bradyn and his mommy Nicole!  The end of the trail is at the school gym where there are several prizes raffled off and the chance to win a huge bunny!  However, the Sadler boys were tired after walking around so we decided to skip that part.  Aaron was already in heaven because he had as much candy as he would get at halloween!

Basketball time!

Aaron was really into playing basketball in his room for awhile during the latter part of dad's basketball season.  Here are some pictures of him practicing in his room!  Hopefully he gets better form as he gets older!



P party at school!

In celebration of the letter P, Ryan's preschool class was allowed to wear pajamas to school!  They also had pizza and pop for a snack, watched the pink panther and laid on their pillows!  Ryan loved his party and mom was able to get some pictures from the day!

 The whole class in their pj's!
