Softball Game vs. Jets - 4/27

This afternoon we had a softball and t-ball game at basically the same time.  I was at Kristin's game. Kristin and her team all played really well.  Their bats were on fire!  Kristin hit every time except for the first kid pitch inning when she was walked.  They won 17-6!  Go Fire & Ice!!!

Great scoop!

T Ball Game vs. the Mariners

Here are a few pictures from Kellen's game on Friday night.  We missed having coach Daddy there.  The boys had fun and are starting to hit more regularly off the coach pitch.

Full Swing

We're into the full swing of Tball and Softball season for the kids.  Seams like there is someplace we need to be every evening.  Probably because it is true!  The kids are really enjoying their respective sports and Danelle and I are having a blast coaching as well.

Kristin is tearing it up this season at softball.  She has grown into the team leader in both skills and cheering on her teammates.  Kellen has been doing great at Tball as well.  His team has been doing well enough that we have already introduced coach-pitch.  Kellen isn't quite sure about that yet - "It's called Tee Ball, Dad!" But he's been a good sport about it.

They're both doing well in school, too.  Kristin is working on a project with salt-dough that she shaped into a topographic map of Oregon.  I haven't seen it yet so I'm excited for when she gets to bring it home.  Kellen has a new kindergarten teacher.  The previous teacher transfered out of the school.  Seems late in the year for such a move, but Danelle says that the new teacher is fantastic.  Danelle spends a lot of time at the school volunteering so its nice to have her finger on the pulse of things there.

Hopefully we'll be able to post some pictures from the activities this spring.  Of course, that would mean that Danelle or I would need a free hand during one of the games!

Weekend Recap

Well, the weekend had some sports games, but could have had more.  Saturday was chilly and it had rained Friday night, so Kristin's 2 tournament softball games (just pool play) got rained out.  What a bummer!  We were looking forward to that.  Kellen's t-ball team still had their game after team pictures. 

Sunday afternoon Kristin had a soccer game.  The games in the spring are at Liberty High School and it is so windy up there all the time.  So, it was quite chilly, but when the sun was out it wasn't so bad. 

The rest of the weekend we pretty much hung around the house and outside.  Aaron and I got caught up on some yard work too.  :) 

Tball Season Starts

Kellen's T-ball team, the Cubs, got to start their season last night, after a rainout on Saturday.  Kellen was super excited to get to the game.  I think that is even why he woke up early yesterday.  :)  The team did well and everyone had fun at the game.  Uncle John was even able to come watch the game.

Today has been on and off rainy and sunny.  One of those spring days you need to have an umbrella and sunglasses with you.
