take me out to the ballgame

Ethan's first t-ball game was tonight. Oh my gosh, so cute! He did really well, better than I thought he would. He was running to get the ball and throwing it to first. His batting could use some practice, but he's no worse than the rest of the team lol. They were so darn funny.

E batted fourth, that's right, he's their clean up batter, and played second base tonight. They played 2 innings, and each kid gets to bat each inning. They don't keep score, and there are no outs, so everyone is a winner. The Sharks totally kicked butt though ;)

No. 24 getting ready for the game

His favorite part, snack time.

1st Day of Summer Vacation

Today was E's first official day of summer vacation, and we had beautiful, (although hot) weather! We stopped at the park this morning and as usual Ethan found a little girl to play with. They were playing follow the leader until it got too hot and we headed home and set up his pool.

He told me today he isn't going to join the army anymore, he's going to be a surfer dude when he grows up. Probably no money in that, but it does sound more fun to me!Wipe Out!

showing off his tats

E wanted to show everyone his tattoos he got from Dodo today. They are super cool.

graduation day!

The lighting was terrible, so my pictures didn't turn out great,and Ethan is grumpy (he has his first ear infection) but Mr. Ethan is now a graduate of preschool! Woot woot!

Walking in - they even played "Pomp & Circumstance"

Singing "Kindergarten Here We Come"

Getting his diploma :D

It finally stopped raining long enough for E to have t-ball practice tonight. So cute :) He got to use his new glove & bat. He's doing pretty well, definately throwing better, but still having a bit of trouble catching the ball. Their first game is next week (and you know I'll take a ton of pictures!). I'm sure it will be super cute. They don't really know what they are doing since they've only had 3 practices so far. Hopefully Thursday won't get rained out so they can have a scrimmage and kind of get a feel of what a game will be like.

Only 2 more days of school until his graduation on Friday. He has been practicing his songs & tried on his cap and gown....I don't know if I'm ready to be the mother of a graduate!

it's raining on sunday

Another rainy day...Ethan enjoyed playing in it today though. He has jammies, crocs, his rain coat and his umbrella. Every kids dream!

This is what kept him busy while we cleaned out the basement today...I don't know how it gets so messy, but it always does! Notice the broken desk in the driveway, I thought we were going to give it to Goodwill, but Bill wanted to crush it. Such a boy.
