High Points of Spring!

Yeah for spring!! We are so ready to be outside!! The Hackleman's love the outdoors, playing in the yard, Todd planting grass and other plants, playing ball, watching ball, you name it! Reed has had a blast driving his Gator that he got for Christmas, running with Truman, throwing the raquetball to Jack, learning to throw overhand to his Dad and Mom (most of the time, I get to be the "ump guy") We are still not sure what hand we have going on...he hits and golfs left handed (w/ right handed clubs) and picks and chooses which to throw with. It is about equal distance and accuracy with either so Todd is hoping for the dual handed pitcher like the guy from Creighton. Should be interesting to see what develops! We have also gotten to play several days at the park and have even flown a kite a day or two. Reed and I have also enjoyed some playdates with friends. Reed got to invite his friend from daycare, Dalton over a few weekends a go. The boys had been planning all kinds of stuff to do! They have really gotten into Super Mario Brothers, I think from Dalton's older sister's DS...anyway there is a lot of pretend play with Mario and Luigi. Reed loves to pretend that he is Luigi and even likes to dress like him in his "Jingles" aka Overalls! Took me a few attempts to figure that one out. He finally told me he wanted to wear the things that go over the arms and have the things that jingle on the buttons in the front...overalls! Reed still loves his animals and knowing all about them. Tigers are still the best but his favorite color is red now! There is hope for the Sooners! He is a smart little guy and loves to count and learn his letters. Can't believe he will go to pre-school in the fall! Here are a few pictures of some of our spring adventures!
