Hinton Highlights

Benjamin Darris Hinton has arrived! He was born at 2:24am on Sunday, April 20th. He weighed 7lbs 2 ounces and was 20.7 inches long. Both mom and baby are doing well.

We had a bunch of fun today as a family. It started out early with a ward Daddy-Daughter breakfast and activities at a local park. Becca and I had a great time and it was wonderful to spend time with my daughter. We saw some baby chickens in a nearby field and played wheelbarrow softball.

The festivities were not over, however. We decided, because it was a bit of a blustery day down here, to pack a picnic and head to the park as a family to enjoy the last of the reasonable cool weather and to fly kites. The picnic was great, aside from a bird pooping on Brett's head. Yep, he was just sitting there eating his lunch when he suddenly felt something wet hit him on the head. Yuck! Anyway, after we got him cleaned up we moved on to flying kites. The kids loved it, and tired themselves (and mom and dad) out thoroughly. What fun we had!

We closed up a fun-filled Saturday with a BBQ in the backyard, some basketball, and finally a little trampoline jumping. Food, family, and fun - what a day!

Nathan's T-Ball season has started - his (and our) first. We went down to Freestone Park for his first game Tuesday and loved watching him play! He did well and hustled after balls hit all over the field. Here's a video of his 2nd at-bat (I know it's a bit grainy and all - it is from my cell phone after all) and some pictures from that 1st game.
