Summer Time fun!

Last week Grandpa took Buggie, Andrew and Malachi to a Rainer's game!
 It rained on them a little, but they still had a really good time, and you know Grandpa spoiled them with TONS of fun snacks!
 Andrew had a really good time, and when he practiced baseball later that week he had some new moves he had learned by watching the "Pros".
 I know this picture is really blurry but Andrew was super excited to meet the Moose- but he always says "actually it's a guy in a moose costume!" (such a smart kid)
 Mallory started Ballet last week and swimming lessons this week- Don't tell her I said this but she is pretty much a Klutz as a ballerina- however she actually is Amazingly graceful in the water. She was not afraid at all to put her head under and was almost swimming without help after her first session!
I love her teacher! And I love that we are doing private lessons- they were the only ones in the pool and she didn't have to wait for the teacher to help with all the other kids! By the end of the summer you can just call her Dory (I would say Nemo, but lets face it she's Valerie's granddaughter, Dory is more accurate!)

I am way excited for all of our stuff coming up in July!!! We are going to be VERY busy...I will TRY to remember to bring my camera along and take a few pictures!

Schools ALMOST over!!

We have been having so much fun the last few weeks... but my picture taking is kinda hit and miss, so here is what I got!
 Here is Andrew at his "end of the year" choir concert! They sang all weather songs- he wasn't too sure about wearing "church" clothes to school but he felt much better after he got there and saw lots of his friends were dressed up too!
 We also went to a really fun birthday party at Odessy 1! It was for 3 of our friends...we got to play, eat pizza and cake and the kids played the arcade games and won tickets- Lucky ducks!

 On memorial day we went to downtown Tacoma and rode a REAL-LIFE trolley (well kinda) the kids thought it was AMAZING!
 Then we went over to the Glass museum- Mallory said this looked like and Ice cream cone
 While we were there we made REALLY cute hats!
 PS. The glass museum was not very fun and even though we had a coupon it was still expensive.
 This is a shot from one day walking in Wal-Mart- Malachi was making Spencer Giggle...it was SUPER cute!
 While we were at a baseball game someone decided they wanted stuff out of my van- so they smashed my window...the bummer part was that they really didn't get anything, but replacing the window was just as expensive--- maybe I should just leave my doors unlocked?
 This is Andrew with his two T-ball coaches. They play on a REAL team so we went to watch their game...can you tell Andrew is a little bit excited here!!!!
 Since Andrew is WAY into baseball right now we wanted him to be able to go to baseball camp- but it's pretty expensive. So as a teaching tool we decided he needs to earn some of the money. He did a Lemonade stand at our garage sale. He still has a long way to go so if you can think of a job that a 6 year old can do for 25-50 cents let me know and we can set it up!
 It's So funny what Andrew picks up from watching the big boys...after watching his coaches play he had some new moves at his next T-ball game. He was diving for balls and sliding into bases, it's so fun to watch his love for the game grow.
Last, but not least, he is one of Malachi's father's day cards- I think that pretty much sums it up!
