TBall

We signed Ryan up for TBall this year. There is a league through the city for 4-6 year olds. Art got rooked into being Head Coach as well. Ryan LOVES it, and spends an hour a day in the back yard practicing. Sometimes by himself. After a few practices, Becca decided to join the team as well, which was great, and a lot easier on us as a family actually. She is one of two girls on the team. Our first game was last week. No-one keeps score, and no-one gets out. The kids are allowed to run all the bases, even if technically they get "out." Every kid gets to bat every inning. The kids had lots of fun, and are looking forward to the next game. We are playing a game every Saturday afternoon, and starting next month, we have a game every Monday night as well! I'll try to get some pics of the game to share soon. My camera battery died shortly after taking these pictures last week...




Kindergarten Patriotic Play

Becca's Kindergarten teacher Miss Brochu, wrote and directed this year's Kindergarten production, titled, "A Patriotic Play." There are 7 Kindergarten classes at Becca's school, and there about 140 Kindergarteners in all. Becca did a great job learning the words to 8 different songs, plus the 3 sentence presentation by her class. Plus, she looked so adorable in the patriotic outfit!





Happy Birthday Ryan

Well, this year, I decided to go with the flow, and invite the whole gang to Ryan's birthday party. Almost everyone from playgroup came (totaling 12 kids not including mine) plus 8 kids from Ryan's school, plus 5 more friends. Whew! We had the party at our neighborhood playground and pavilion, which was really great and convenient. The best part of the party was that Magic Mike came to do a show for us. Ryan is a HUGE fan of Magic Mike. He could be a stalker if he was able to drive a car. Magic Mike is a local magician and entertainer. He does performances at the library periodically, and we never miss a show. He also works at several local restaurants during the week, and we often catch him there as well. Magic Mike does a great job entertaining the kids as well as the grownups, and as you can see from the expression on Ryan's face, he belly laughed the ENTIRE time. He had a great time at the party. Unfortunately, the wind was out of control, and we were not able to keep the candles lit for his cake, so once again, no picture of Ryan blowing candles out. He didn't really care about that though- just the part where he got to eat the cake!







Monkeys

These are my children. They look like monkeys, but they are actually my children.
