Play Ball!!!!

Sawyer started baseball and it has been so much fun to watch! He played t ball when he was really little and is an awesome soccer player but there's something about baseball that is so dang fun! Might be because I loved watching his awesome dad play when we were young!? ;)
I thought this was so cute-their coach Kelly is awesome! He coached Shaylee in soccer and is such a great coach.
LOVE THIS PIC! Casey is helping coach the team. Sawyer loves Casey and has so much to learn from him. He is an awesome dad and an awesome baseball player! So glad Sawyer has such a neat dad to look up to.

Sawyer's Field Trip

The big field trip for Kindergarten is the zoo. They look forward to it all year long. Sawyer really has talked about it since the beginning of the year. The field trip was Tuesday and it rained THE WHOLE TIME WE WERE THERE. Not kidding. So cold. So wet. Every animal that you could see inside a building stunk worse than ever-the giraffes, the monkeys, the reptile house. YUCK! However-my cute son who loves animals was in heaven. Funny how seeing life thru your child's eyes can help your attitude. It was truly a fun day!

I planned on meeting Sawyer at the zoo and bringing Jaycee. Jaycee did not want to go because it was too far-can you say high maintenance? The kid cracks me up. And Sawyer was super nervous about riding a school bus on the freeway without a seatbelt. I became aware of this Monday night so my awesome friend kept Jaycee & I rode the bus with Sawyer-problem solved! So lucky it all worked out-it was great to be with him on his very first ride on a school bus!
Squishing under the pavilion to dry off a little and eat lunch.
Ethan, Luke, Sawyer & Caleb with the elephants. Silly boys! (I really did try to convince Sawyer to wear his warm coat-he insisted on his jacket and never complained that he was wetter than he needed to be! Just defending myself as the mom! ;) )

Shaylee's Field Trip

My cute Shay had a field trip at This Is The Place....I was pretty hesitant about going...it gets stressful to find people to watch the other kids...she insisted that I come and I'm so glad that she did! We had a great time-she's just awesome!

Riding the big yellow school bus feels crazier the older I get-it wasn't a big deal when I was young-now I know about traffic and blind spots etc......funny....it was fun to be with Shaylee & the kids & the noise, though! ;)
Shaylee & friends pulling a handcart
Learning The Virginia Reel....they were SO FUNNY about this....not wanting to dance with the boys (the feeling was mutual-the boys were being dorks about it!) but once they quit giggling and tried it they had so much fun.
Going to school-their teacher was so cool! I loved the feeling she portrayed of what it was really like-one room school houses, discipline, and going to school with kids that are every age. We've come so far with education!
