Kolby T-Ball Fun

I should have posted about this a long time ago, but I am finally getting around to doing some "catch-up" posts. Kolby played T-ball for the first time this year and he was awesome. He was known by his teammates and the other parents as "Bruiser" after he hit a line drive right into another player's forehead during a game. He is a very strong hitter and of course at this point in life, that is really the only part of the game he enjoys! We need to work on the fielding, but for now, we are happy that he has so much fun hitting. He had fun playing...was always so excited to go to practice and games and his coach, Robert Salazar, was great. He even bought all of the kids trophies and handed them out at a pizza party at the end of the season. Kolby carried that trophy around with him for a few days, maybe weeks, after receiving it. Eliza threw it into the closet door the other day, but thanks to some super glue it is good as new. Here are some photos of "Bruiser" in action...

Carrie Underwood

It seems that I rarely post photos of me & Geoff; in fact, I think we rarely take any of the two of us together. So sad! So here is a photos of the two of us at the Carrie Underwood concert last week. It was so great. Her voice was beautiful. I was a little worried that Geoff might not enjoy it, but he thought she was a great entertainer and was impressed by how she gave it her all. It was a fun and very late night out for us. Thanks to our friends who watched the kids since it was impossible to find a babysitter for that night!

Let the Summer Begin...

...whether we were ready or not, last week gave us some 100 degree days so we were forced to cool off somehow...slip n' slide, big Costco slide or the sports park sprinkler pad...it didn't matter as long as it was water. It also helped to have friends and popsicles---LOTS of popsicles! Carson wasn't so sure about all of the water options...he seems to prefer the bathtub!

Thai Children

I think I have posted pictures of the kids in these Thai outfits that my sister brought back for them after her trip to Thailand. They are so cute and every now and then the kids just love to dress up in them and act so silly. Kolby was showing off his muscles and Eliza was twirling around. Carson was barfing....hmmm...guess he didn't like their performance too much. I had to post these cuz I thought they were so cute, especially the first one of my Thai Princess.

Fun at Grandma & Grandpa's House

We went down to Grandma & Grandpa Downen's house to see Mart & Em before they moved. it was so fun to hang out with them for the afternoon. The kids swam in the cold pool with Mart, while Em, me and Carson hung out on the side. I didn't get many photos of the day, but this is what I did get...

Kolby's Spring Preschool Program

Every year, Kolby's preschool has a special Spring Program & Silent Auction for the parents. It was so cute. You can see Kolby in the camo shorts and white polo shirt with bandana around his neck. His class sang "Down on Grandpa's Farm" and a Spanish song and "Twinkle Twinkle". They were all so cute! Kolby had been looking forward to this night for a few weeks and kept reminding us that we would get cookies and punch at the end. Of course, that's what he was excited about. After the program, we were invited to the classrooms to meet with the teachers and see their artwork. Kolby was being a stinker and wouldn't take a picture with his teacher, Miss Joy, so Eliza posed for the picture. Miss Joy loves her too so it's all good...

Princess and her Servant and Future Servant

Just a random picture of the 3 of them that we took out front the other day. Kolby loves to wear matching outfits with Carson. On this day they were decked out in their camo stuff and Kolby even had on his camo apron and boots. Funny little boy.
