And rounding first!

We were finally successful in attending a Chiefs game that didn't get rained out. We attended with members of the Lutheran Church for their annual game. The kids had a great time as usual. We did learn a few things this time, never attend on a night where there is free hot dogs and peanuts. You will miss a whole inning standing in line and we were there 40 minutes before the game started. The kids got to go to the play ground for the first time. This is where we learned lesson two, never attend on a night where the anthem singers are from an inner city group (this is probably true of any kids group) because that means they will be unsupervised at the playground. After the game the kids were able to run the bases. I apologize for the fuzzy pictures, I was busy visiting and forgot to get the camera settings adjusted. Mason is in the orange shirt and Valynn is in the light green shirt behind him. Kyra is in pink running with dad.

We are busy packing for our trip north. The kids have been packing since Monday, I think they are a little excited to be going somewhere without mom and dad. I have to go through their suitcases and backpacks because they want to take everything with them.

Weekly recap

.


It was a busy week so here is the summary. Wednesday was my birthday. The kids baked and decorated my cake (yes that's my belly in the picture with the cake). They gave me a new digital camera for my Mother's Day/ Birthday gift. So I've spent some of my free time learning how to use it. I worked Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. The last two days I taught Kindergarten. Valynn is now officially done with her Kindergarten year, it is so hard to believe. She had a wonderful year and I really enjoyed subbing at the school. On Friday we had Alyssa and Chance over for supper. Alyssa has babysat the kids for the last five years and she's getting married this summer. They came to help Valynn and Mason with their baseball skills. Alyssa played softball in college and Chance is a coach for basketball, and has coached TBall in the past. They did a wonderful job with the kids and everyone had a great time. The kids learned quite a few pointers as well. I tried out the video feature on my new camera so here's some footage from them playing baseball, unfortunately I ran out of memory before Valynn got a hit. After it got dark we went in and played the Wii. Mason beat everyone in bowling, scoring a 203. We wish everyone a great weekend.
