Weekend update

So I am sure you are tired of seeing pictures of tennis, so I'll show other ones, but we attempted softball this weekend. But first, Saturday morning we got up and all the kids jumped in a we cleaned up our yard (1.13 acres....quite a bit considering we put 6 trash bags to the curb this morning) Anyhow, in just under 1 1/2 hours our yard was clean, a gate was fixed and the ducklings were moved in with QT and a sprinkler pipe was fixed. So a lot of work was done in quite a shorter amount of time than Kevin and I anticipated! It pays to have a lot of kids this time around! :-)

So we told the kids we'd go up to play at the HS. We did start with tennis. Then moved over to softball/tee ball. It was fun! The kids had a blast hitting the ball. Then I took Ryan and COmptyn in outfield and we played catch. Comptyn has a great arm! I was impressed! Ryan was very brave, too. He is so cautious but he did well. Then we all went into the field and Kevin hit balls to us. The boys had a lot of fun doing that! Plus the 3 older ones all have been passing things off for their scout requirements/electives! We then had a picnic which I didn't take any pictures of!



(they kept hitting the tee, too.....it's one of those 360° ones....so it moves)

Sunday was such another beautiful spring day we decided to go walk the railroad tracks. Sammy insisted on carrying one of the water jugs, mostly becuase he kept wanting a drink. Once we hit the tracks, though, he was OFF!



Here Sammy is waiting for us at a yield sign on the way home. He was tired. We had walked about 3 1/2 miles, we guess. Quite a long ways! They did really good.

Twins beat some of us home, so daddy told them they could get on their bikes and come get us.

Enjoying cold popsicles!


So tonight for FHE we are going to go play some baseball with some other families. Bryce will be happy to learn nothing again this week!
