fun in the sun | summer baseball

Jordan wrapped up his summer baseball league Tuesday night.

He played two games a week either in Lynden, Ferndale or NW fields.

I am kind of glad it is over so we can be a little less busy in the evenings.

This year they played all the kids up and combined grades 1-4 together.

This meant that instead of using a pitching machine Jordan had
3rd/4th grade boys pitching to him. 

Jordan even got to give pitching a try during one game.
He pitched an entire inning and struck out two batters and didn't hit a single kid!
We were super proud parents!
He loved pitching and really wanted to try it again.
Josh will have to work with him so he is ready next year!

After their last game on Tuesday the team had a little celebration!
They won 8, tied 2 and lost 1 game for the season.
The coach handed out awards along with a goodie bag.
After that they had a huge silly string fight and then pizza!
I took these pictures on my phone! What a fun way to end the season!

the week in pictures

What a week last week was!

I am hoping that is the most busiest week we have this

summer but I am sure it is not. I can't believe we are

saying good bye to June already.  This summer is going

to fast already but I am loving all the sunshine we have been having.

Here is our week in pictures!

Monday Jordan started Jumpstart basketball camp.

His buddy was also doing the camp so we took him everyday too.

On top of that Michelle signed up to do games at our church's

day camp. We had to be out the door by 8:30 to drop Michelle and

her friend off at church. Then grab Jordan's friend and head into Bham

for their camp. Since I love making the most of summer and Monday was

supposed to the nicest day I wanted to take them to the spray park afterwards.

At the end of camp they got a coupon for mighty kids meals which they

 had to use right away. Since we had an hour until the spray park started that 

worked out perfect. Even though the sun never did come out they still had fun

 playing for two hours and burning off extra energy!

 Tuesday was a repeat of the same morning.

Get everybody to where they need to be. 

After camp we ate lunch at a nearby park and then 

headed over to Jump around fun zone.

Wednesday Josh did the morning run around.
I had child care kiddos so I got to stay home.
Jordan was happy to come home after camp and play.

Thursday was the last day of camp!

It had been a long week already so just headed home after.

Jordan enjoyed playing quietly.

I love how imaginative he still is.

Friday we had my nephews over while me sister went to work.
It was a drizzly day but we still played outside most of the morning!
That afternoon I had my older nephews over for a weekend sleepover!
Jordan had his first practice to get ready for the razz festival that evening.

end of the season

Jordan had his last summer baseball game this Monday.

They played against the other Lynden need which my 

nephew Eli is on.  We brought Cohen along to hang out

and my parents came to cheer on the boys too!

 

 

afterwards we all went to Edaleen for icecream!

Monday 
7/15/13

Today was a stay at home kind of day with two extra kiddos.

Jordan was fine with that because then he got to take full

advantage or yard waste day! He usually goes out for a early

morning bike ride to count the cans out in the neighborhood.

Then it is back in for breakfast and then play with his

garbage trucks setting up garbage cans all over the house.

After lunch is usually when it comes. Once we here the

screeching off in the distance he is on his bike in a flash 

to go find it and follow it through the streets and alleys.

He is a crazy kid.

That night he had a baseball game at bender.

We brought Cohen along to cheer Jordan on too.

He was hitting bombs tonight and got two triples!

He was so excited!

He kept telling the kids it was because he didn't have a nap.

The boys were like you still take a nap??

Not everyday you hear a six year old say they still nap.

Even Ezra came by for the end of the day to watch his cousin play!
