A Few Things from May

Blake had to dress up as a character from a book for school, and he chose Jack from Magic Tree House. He looks pretty good especially for a last minute costume!

Life must of been pretty hard for Ben this day to fall asleep in such a comfortable chair!

Ben's First T-Ball Game

Ben was excited to play T-Ball and these are pictures from his first game.

Great game Cubs!
This one loved to climb the bleachers and made it rather difficult to watch but at least she is cute. Yes, she is in a sweater. It was cold this day in May!

This is a pic of Ben and his buddy Connor from the last game. They have become great friends and will probably play many more sports together in the future.

Unfortunately, I don't have pictures of the end of the season party since Ben got sick while in line to order. I did grab his trophy real quick and he was super excited. I just took this later at home but wanted to document his first baseball trophy.



The Cubs were a great team and all of the players were really good. Although they were only 5 it was much more enjoyable to watch since most of them crushed the ball, could stop balls, and try to get the out first. We look forward to continuing playing with this team!

Blake's Field Day

Blake had a blast at Field Day this year. He wanted to do all kinds of the games and activities that were there. I was able to enjoy the full time with Blake and his buddy, Austin. They had to stay together the whole time and that proved more of a full time job for me. Austin did not want to do much and would wonder off. We were always asking, "Where's Austin now?" but we had fun!
A little dancing

Watching his teacher, Ms Ridenour, and some other teachers do the Chicken Dance

Blake, Ms Ridenour, and Blayne

He was a hula hoop pro. He almost won the contest they had. He kept going and they were making them do all kinds of crazy stuff to try to get them to drop it. He was one of the last ones standing!

Sack race. Ms Liz was so fun and said she would race Blake since the station was empty at the time. Super sweet and she told him she wouldn't be doing this for any kid!

About 10 minutes left in field day, Blake and Austin decided they wanted to do water limbo. I asked if there were really sure and of course they were. I briefly explained they would be soaking wet heading back into school, but that didn't matter. They had a blast and were very wet after many times of going through!

Not sure what this pose is

Easter

We had a wonderful Easter. First, we went to church to worship the Risen Savior and then had lunch with my family at Prestonwood Country Club (no pics). After lunch we headed over to Brock and Erin's to hang out with their family and Grand and Pops. We also had a fun Easter egg hunt. It was a very long day, but the kids had fun and we enjoyed this special day with all of our family!

A few fun goodies for Easter
