T-Ball, another year, and sunshine

We had an amazing weekend of weather, family and friends up from Portland, another year for me (I turned 32 on Saturday) and a hot T-Ball game.

Highlights-
1. John finished his finals on Thursday evening, and is taking the Summer off from law school. We are all ready for the break!
2. Mom and Dad came up for the weekend on Friday to help me celebrate my birthday.
3. We went to the Bouncy Place Saturday morning. It was the first time I was able to participate since being pregnant.
4. Mom and Dad mowed, edged, weeded my yard (HUGE blessing and birthday gift since I can't find time to do it these days with three little ones).
5. Laurie and Jenny came up from Portland for the week with Jenny's little ones Natalie and Gwen. They had a few things going on up here and were also available to celebrate my b-day with me.
6. Emilio's T-Ball game on Saturday. *I'll elaborate a little later on this and include pix.
7. Michael and Emily had us over for a Birthday BBQ. They made some amazing food for us on the grill!
8. Played some Hand and Foot on Sat. night. John and I beat Mom and Dad this time.
9. Took a hike on Sunday that was beautiful.
10. Got a new grill on Sunday evening with my b-day money, and went out to Red Robin with John and the kiddos.

So back to the T-Ball. It is so dang cute to watch these kids play, mainly because they are so cute, and most of them (including my son much of the time) has no clue what they are doing. Last weekend Emilio loved running the bases so much that when the other team was up to bat and he was supposed to be playing shortstop, he decided he would run the bases again in hopes of getting some more cheers from the crowd. It cracked me up. Also, when the other team bats, all the players on Emilio's team, even those in outfield all run and pig pile on top of the ball fighting for who is going to get it. They don't quite understand they are playing on the same team. Anyway, it is a learning experience and exposing him to team sports I guess. Here are some pictures my dad took on Saturday.




He always take a flying leap onto the base.

Emilio says this part is his favorite part of T-Ball.....running through the parent made tunnel at the end of each game!
Gabi made a new friend, Chunk.
