T-ball Photos!
We have successfully finished our first season of t-ball! After doing a season of soccer and a season of Little League I definitely think Little League fits more with our family's personality. We were blessed with awesome coaches who kept a very positive and laid-back atmosphere for the kids. Weston was thrilled to get opportunities to run around outside with other kids and enjoyed every minute of it! Mike and I also had some pretty good laughs watching 5 year-olds try to play baseball. The kids are so little that they look like bobble-head dolls running around the bases with the batting helmets on. It took the kids quite a few practices and games to figure out that it's not supposed to be a pile-on for the ball when it's hit into the field. The first game all of the players on Weston's team were running after the ball and fighting each other for it instead of staying near their position.
What a tough-looking t-ball player!
Weston is #9.
Some of Weston's team.
His sisters also came to cheer him on.
His swing look just like Ichiro's, doesn't it?

Weston's 6!!!
Weston turned 6 years old on May 13th! We had a great time celebrating his birthday the weekend of Mother's Day.
This mug was Mike's when he was much younger. Apparently Mike used to be a 49ers fan :)
Memaw Mary made Weston's awesome shark cake! Weston originally said he wanted an eel cake, but I was able to talk him into a shark instead (the picture I had in my head of an eel cake was not too pretty :)
It looks like it'll bite your hand off. My mom made the teeth from gum.
He blew all the candles out on the first try!
Aunt Haley was here visiting from Georgia. My brother, Kyle, had to go to training in Texas for a couple of weeks and agreed to fly Haley back to Oregon during his trip. It was awesome to spend time with her and we found even more things to love about her! She truly is a sister to me!
The weather was so awesome that we were able to have the party outside! Mike's brother, Tim, came down from Seattle for the day and night and both sets of grandparents came for the weekend. Dave, Julie, Laelie and Tirien also came from next door for the festivities.
Tons of fun for a 6 year-old!

Coffee and......
Friendship!
Here's Julie and I on our way to a girls' get together in Dundee a few months ago. We stopped into Coffee Cottage and then walked around campus at George Fox (where we and our husbands all went to college). It was a beautiful day to enjoy our coffee and our friendship!

No Training Wheels!
Last Sunday I took the kids to Bend for a couple of nights by myself. Mike had a ton of catching up at work to do and needed to put in some extra hours. It worked out perfectly for us to go last week because there were no t-ball games and my parents didn't have to work.
As soon as we arrived Papa started teaching Weston to ride without training wheels and away he went! We thought he would fall and shed some tears but we were wrong! He did great and hardly fell at all. We probably should have started teaching him last summer but the time slipped away too quickly and we don't have a great place to teach him on our street. You can see my parents' driveway is perfect for learning to ride. Here's an action shot of our "no training wheels" boy :)
Elsie can't really pedal yet, but she didn't want to be left out.
Grace spent some time practicing on her scooter. Papa also took Weston and Grace bowling and driving bumper cars one morning. They had a great time!
I took this photo of Noah yesterday during his nap. He looked so sweet :)
