Will's base running

We have always had a good time going to the ballpark here in town. Included in the "Jounior Slugger" Kid's Pack this season were select opertunites to run the basses after games. This was after the last game of the season. It was the 3rd or 4th time he has run the basses. The first time I had to run with him, the second time Jeff ran with him. The previous times he has run them by himself.  

Oh, how fast he is going up. It is bitter sweet for me. Excited that he is doing things by himself and sad that he is not my baby any more.

California Vacation 2013

This is probably too much to share in one post but wanted to get the pictures out. I will tell more stories later.

Growing up

Showing off his new shoes. I asked him to let me take a picture of his shoes and this is what I get. :-)

Looking cool waiting for the 'Red Train.'

Ham I am!

Thanksgiving Countdown

Because we had a countdown calender for Halloween and our birthdays we need one for Thanksgiving.

Relaxing

On a weekend in November we went with Grandmum & Grandad on a mini vacation in the 'CAMPER!' It was great to get away from things before the holiday busyness starts.

I got the door.

Helping Granddad grill.

Waiting for Granddad....

 

Out exploring. After helping Granddad put up the lights.

Daddy learning to maneuver the truck and camper. Mom (Pam) hooked it up.

Making connections

So Will has voted in his 3rd November election. I talked to him Monday night and said that we were going to go vote in the morning. Then this morning we watched 'Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood' on PBS, which was about voting. When we were done filling out the ballot and put it in the box, he stopped me to ask when we could count them. He was disappointed when I told him that someone else was going to do it. I had never talked to him about counting but Daniel did. He is such a smart boy to be making that connection, on his own. Is this normal for his age? I don't know.

Swimming Fun

Will has been in the pool only about 3 times this summer. Before last weekend he was not all to fire thrilled about the water. We went to the Loken's for the 4th of July party and he liked watching they guys play water volleyball. So he finally wanted to go in. He loved it.

We went to the pool for a while yesterday. I randomly asked if he wanted to jump in off the side and he did and liked it. So we jumped for a while.

Sea World

We (Will and I) took a trip to Sea World San Antiono with the Shuck’s. It was Will and Hannah’s first time there.

Big Smiles

Yeah music!

What is that?

I am thinking...

She is big!  ~Hannah

Where are we now? Oh Shamu.

I am interested.

Look.

Friends and DCI

Jeff watched the son, Ezra, of a friend of ours for a couple of hours on Wednesday. He put on Phantom Regiment's 2008 show 'Spartacus' to see what they would do. Two kids: one the son of a percussionist and one the son of corps alums. Not surprising what happened.

Funny Ball

This is a long video. I have not gotten a chance to edit it yet but wanted to get it up.

Visit from the past

A friend of ours, Wayne Connor, came on a Texas jaunt of a trip to visit some of us "old kids". Had a great dinner. Wayne was the pastor that married us.
