Warning....

This post contains A LOT of pictures...be warned!!! We've been super busy but having oh so much fun lately!!!

T Ball started!! Each boy has 2 games a week. That's a lot of ball!!! I can only go to a few games, but since Jeff is not currently working, he is able to make it to every game, so the boys always have at least him and Miss B cheering them on!!! The grandparents each come when they can and the boys just eat the attention up!!! Jackson's game are especially entertaining because they actually get to get the kids out and keep score this year. It's amazing to see how much improvement he has made since he first started. This is Kaden's first year, but he's got a great arm on him and can hit really well too, so it's fun to watch him too!


My cute little slugger...he's all business up at the plate

My Grandpa was in town from Oregon last week. We celebrated his visit and the extra warm weather by buying a slip and slide and putting it to good use. My sister and her kids came down for the fun and there were popscicles enjoyed by all....












2 weeks ago was my long weekend off with all the kids here. So we had a jam packed weekend planned. On Friday we all made the long drive to Boise to pick the girls up. We got them around lunch time, then stopped in Twin Falls on the way home at a park. It was good to stretch our legs and see my aunt and her girls. That Saturday we went to Idaho Falls with my mom and sister and her family and went to the zoo and park up there. The kids had a great time running around and seeing all the animals. Sunday brought church. Afterwards we went to the hummingbird banding in American Falls. Every May at a house just past Indian Springs a huge flock (I guess that's what it's called) of hummingbirds migrate and volunteers there weigh, measure, and band these teeny tiny creatures. They then let the kids hold them in their hands until they fly off. Sometimes the birds fly away quick, but sometimes they just sit in your hand for a bit. The kids thought this was so neat and I have to say that it was!!! My mom got some even better pictures, so I'll post some of those later.
