Ryan at Bat

Last batter gets to make a homerun, so this was Ryan's big chance. He gets so excited. He's still working on the bases, notice he decided to take a short cut after second base, that was just too much running. This was, as you can see a very exciting game.

Fish Park



After opening day Ryan's games have been on a real field at Fish Park. He is really starting to understand the game, it is so fun to watch him. He is always cheering everyone on- must get that from his Mom. He's so lucky to have both his dad and papa coaching- he even calls them coach at the games.

Easter Dinner


Thank goodness for my sweet sister in law Tennille who hosted everyone during the Easter vacation, I was just not up for it. She had everything looking so cute and we had a very yummy dinner, pot luck style. We also went on an Easter Egg hunt and the kids had fun playing with each other. It was a great way to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, with our family.

Easter Cuties





Our boys were quite dapper for Easter, I swear they are both looking more like Daniel everyday.

Easter Morning



The Easter Bunny came and got the boys some fun treats.

Dying Easter Eggs




Tennille was brave enough to have us all over to dye Easter eggs. Ryan had so much fun, he's really crafty but Dylan didn't like the mess- he decided to just hang out

Ward Easter Party






After the rodeo parade our ward had an Easter party at the park. There was an egg toss, an egg race, an easter egg hunt, and even the Easter bunny showed up. Ryan enjoyed all of the festivites, but Dylan stuck on to Daniel like glue because there was a giant bunny hopping around. I'm sure he was wondering why no one else seemed to mind. There was a 9 egg limit and Ryan collected more than that. When his Primary President asked him about the extra eggs he said, "They're for my brother."

Rodeo Day Parade





Anyone who has lived in Oakdale knows that the rodeo parade is a must in April. This year's was particulary long, but the boys loved it. They loved all the horses and their favorite were the Shriners clowns with the car that split in two.

Park with Cousins


This Easter we had Daniel's whole family together so we did lots of fun things. One night we went and hung out at the park. All the cousins get along so well and have a great time together. It's a little crazy because there are 12 kids in all (our baby will make 13) and only ten adults but we like crazy!

Krause family baseball practice



One day we took the boys out to the park to play baseball. Ryan was cranking the balls pretty far and Dylan was just learning how to hold the bat. We can't decide if he is a lefty or righty so he was batting both ways. This family loves baseball!

Openin Day





Opening day was a hot one, but that didn't stop the Jaxx from having a great game! The boys were very enthusiastic and had a great time. We are enjoying going to the games and watching Ryan start his baseball career =). Ryan always has the largest fan base, thanks to all our family who are out there supporting him.

Train Musuem




The last time we went to the train musuem in old sacramento Ryan was 2 and Dylan was just a couple of months old. We decided that the boys were at a perfect age to go and have a great time. They loved seeing all of the big trains and going inside them. Their favorite part was playing on the train tables upstairs though.
