Let's play a little game called Catch-UP!
It's a game we are very familiar with around here
so let's get started!
For Easter this year
we scavenged the work storage shed
and found enough parts to Dave's old high school trampoline
to put it together
plus some homemade parts
shhhhhhhh
Easter brunch was bouncing with fun!
Aaron celebrated his 7th birthday at a trampoline place
lots of jumping
climbing wall
lazer tag
pizza
all Aaron's favorite things.
Both boys played baseball in the Spring.
It was madness with their schedules
but they enjoyed their season.
Riley stayed in Minors
Aaron stayed in Farm
The school year ended with a bang and everyone was happy to get started with summer.
Baseball season ended with eliminations in the first game of the tournament
for both boys
and many many tears
broke my heart
Here's last day of school pics of each kid with their teacher
As you all know
we love summer around here!
Video Re-cap time!
School started way too soon
but everyone was excited too!
They love their new teachers.
In case you're wondering, Riley is doing really well!
It's amazing how much difference a teacher can make.
Fall sports started and
Aaron decided to continue in baseball.
Riley decided to take a break from baseball and try golf.
Emily saw The Greatest Showman and decided
she wants to be a trapeze artist.
She is doing Ariel Arts (silks)
The season is over now
and Riley passed his golfing tests to move on to the next level
he loves it.
Emily will continue Ariel Arts
she loves it.
And Aaron's baseball team lost only 2 games all season
they were on another field
where they play by weird rules
so I'm not counting it =
undefeated!!!
The most impressive part being
on the first day, they were just terrible!
Only 2 kids even knew how to throw a ball
they were newbies through and through
babies really, most being 5 or 6 years old.
They had an incredible coach!
He was patient, kind, knowledgable, consistent, and worked hard for those kids!
Ya, our one and only David
that's who
he's pretty awesome.
Thankful for grandpas who came and helped too!
Emily had a birthday last month.
She turned 9 years old which is absolutely crazy.
She has been wanting a Harry Potter Party for a couple of years now
but I knew it would have to be big
and a lot of work
so I put it off
until now!
Complete with the Hogwarts Express, sorting ceremony, dinner feast,
wand making, potions class, and an escape room.
She was in Harry Potter heaven.
Riley celebrated next
with some Arrow Tag and pizza.
If I thought 9 was too old, 11 CERTAINLY is.
Why do they keep growing??
And that about wraps it up!
Hope your summer was great
and you're looking forward to fall and winter
as much as we are.
