Cecily's New Sport

Cecily decided she wanted to try out curling, so we set her out on the ice for a practice.

I think she was mostly there for the cookies at dinner, so she was "one and done".

Cecily's first Football Game of the season.

Cecily had her first football game of the season! We headed down to Burien for the game.  I'm pretty sure there were about 3 x's as many parents there for the cheerleaders than the football players.

These girls were pretty darn cute.

Parker's Birthday Party - Yard Sports Party

Parker wanted a yard sports party, so we set-up the corn hole, King Kub, and Molokky games and released the boys on the backyard.

They then proceeded to have nearly the exact same food as Cecily's party the day before.

Cecily's Cheer Camp

Cecily is doing Richmond Cheer this year, and she had a 3-day cheer camp in Everett.

It was crazy hot all week, but she had a blast learning new cheers and getting to know all her teammates. 

We love our baseball team so very much

We have hit the jackpot when it comes to baseball teams, both for the kids and the parents.

To celebrate the end of the season, we had a great party at one of the player's houses, it was such a great time.

Once the sun went down, they set-up a movie outside for the boys (and little sisters) while the grown-ups had a great time hanging out on the porch.

Then most of the boys (and Cecily) stayed for a sleep-over.  They had a BLAST and stayed up way too late.  The next day, for some reason, there was a flurry of texts among the parents that looked remarkably like these:

I can't even remember the last time Parker fell asleep in the car.

Parker's second time at base

Because of a rained-out game being re-scheduled, our opposing team on Saturday only had 5 players.  So, the Titans "shared" a few players with the other team.  Which lead to Parker's second turn at pitching, only against all his friends.  It's tricky to play against your friends, but he had a great time anyway.

After the game, I took the kids over to Whidbey to spend the night with their cousins.  Pay no attention to the screaming Cecily in the back seat, she wasn't feeling it.

We made a photo album for Coach Steve with a photo of each player and a quote about their favorite part of playing baseball.  Parker's response: "Pitching".  I was hoping for something more like "playing with all my friends and having a great time", but whatever.

Parker's First time on the pitching mound

Parker got to pitch!  He was so excited! He even struck a few kids out.

Baseball Jamboree

They combine photo day with the baseball jamboree, it's always a fun day.

Parker's New Hobby

My friend, Katie, is a huge fan of curling.  Her son is doing the juniors league, so they invited Parker to join.  He LOVED it!
