June 14, 2015 - Birthday Sleepover

The beginning of June is always so busy we didn't get around to having friends over for Ethan's birthday until tonight.  They all had a great time playing wiffleball in the yard.  Whenever Ethan plays wiffleball with his friends they all have to go through all the baseball hats he got from his Grandpa Sydow and pick one out.  That's part of the game.  They were out there for a long time playing and laughing and being intense at times.  They even played in the rain.  Boys!

June 13, 2015 - A Sportscaster in the Making

Part of having a kid in Babe Ruth is every family gets the chance to run the scoreboard and announce.  Ethan jumped on the chance to do the announcing part.  He thinks working for ESPN would be the best job and this was good practice.  He just announced each batter.  At least that's what he did into the microphone.  There was a lot of play by play and color commentary going on behind the scenes.  I loved listening!

June 12, 2015 - The End of T-Ball

Today was the last t-ball game ever in this house!  We've loved starting each kid out in baseball and watching him get better but it's time to move on from t-ball.  Sawyer has loved playing and he's pretty excited to move up to coach pitch next year.  It will be pretty odd to not have anyone in t-ball anymore that's for sure.  We just hope he keeps loving the game, wanting to slide into every base and always with a big smile on his face.

 

 

June 11, 2015 - 16 years!

Today is our 16th anniversary!!  It's so hard to believe we've been married that long, in some ways it feels like just yesterday we were planning a wedding and living in Madison.  Just a few things have happened since then.  4 kids and 3 houses later, here we are.  I wonder where we'll be in another 16 years....

June 10, 2015 - Bowling

We love that kids bowl free in the summer.  We usually try to go when it's raining out because being inside on a nice day just doesn't make sense.  It was rainy out today so we headed to the bowling alley.  I think everyone had a good time too.

June 9, 2015 - Ice Cream

It was a pretty hot day today and sometims after a long hot day, you just need to stop for 50 cent cones.  I mean, who can pass up cones for 50 cents?!

June 8, 2015 - 2nd in the Slam

These pictures are actually from yesterday but it was such a full day I thought I'd spill over onto another day.  Ethan played in the championship game of the Sawdust Slam Sunday night.  They played fairly well but just couldn't manage to pull off a win.  So they came in 2nd.  Still really good and it's always fun to watch these guys play.  I even captured Ryan pitching and Ethan catching for him.  So cool that these two got to be on a each other's team!
