Baseball Days

I LOVE it when Willem plays first!

 Merit didn't play much this particular game, but his hunt for foul balls was very exciting.
He encountered a lama who chose not to spit on him. A ram went after him just before hopping the fence to get back to the dug out.
This "petting zoo" is right up my alley!

 Ephrata had their Sage and Sun Festival this weekend. I people watched, browsed, and took pics between a couple of games.

THIS is THE BEST.
I LOVE watching baseball. I love these boys' attitudes and hard work!

Celebrating Ms. Brizendine

I have a heart for teachers and I have a big heart for this one! 

Did we ever enjoy celebrating her retirement yesterday afternoon!

What a gem!

She has taught Merit, Willem, and Hazel P.E. during their Longview Education! 

Miss Hazel and Miss Lisa

Hazel's allergies have been causing her headaches, watery eyes and sneezing! Oh this girl is a trooper! 

We have 10 plus baseball games this weekend between Merit and Willem! 

Here we go!

 Driving Vance's car to basketball tonight...
oh Merit

How are we old enough to have a driver?

June is a favorite!

 Green Lake was GORGEOUS today!

The perfect weather in Seattle! 
It was fun.

Eating peanut butter with their fingers! Fighting, laughing and running wild.
Memories in the making.

Willem was in Yakima. He joined the Gunners for a tournament and had a blast! He hit a walk off to win the game Saturday night.

Reminded, once again that it takes a village!
Leo took Merit to Tacoma Friday. (I did not have to fight Friday afternoon traffic, hurray) It was so kind of him to take Merit, Royce, and his son Leo. They stayed in a hotel together, had pizza, had fun!
Danny Stuart took Will and his son Jayce to Yakima Sat. morning. They left at 6:30 a.m. I headed to the west side with the little ones. Sunday Vance went to Yakima, got to see these Gunners play! And took Jayce and Willem back to Moses Lake.
All home by 7 p.m. last night and exhausted and then Monday morning came quick! It is a beautiful day!! Oren has a buddy coming over soon and the guys are out working on our deck. I have a mountain of laundry and mango tea on ice.

June is my favorite, well one of my favorites.
