We met one of Ava's friends from preschool at the park to play. Ava was THRILLED to have a playdate that was geared towards her :) Here are the babies... Carter and Charlotte.

Cristian climbing.
Baseball practices are over now... and games have begun! The kids were excited for their first games on Saturday. Here's Cristian playing first base. He seems to like playing first base because there is a lot of interaction with the ball.
His first at bat... I'm pretty sure Cristian hit the ball further then I could. (You can see the ball at the top right.) It was hit well over the outfielders heads... normally each kid has to stop at first base regardless of where you hit it, but he hit it so well they let him take second base too. He was so proud that he got a DOUBLE.

Watching the ball approach home plate... his second at bat he got another solid hit!

then she threw it to the first baseman.
The ball kept coming her way, and she was a fielding machine!
Here's Ava at her first at bat... look at that cute stance.
Ava swings, and she HITS the ball! One of only two kids to hit without using the T ... way to go Ava!! Everyone on the sideline was cheering for her
Ava out in the field in her defensive stance. Note the two other boys in the picture... sitting and picking grass, LOL.

Friday is our family fun night... and we invited my parents and sister over for dinner to say "Bon Voyage" to them since they leave for Europe tomorrow and will be gone for almost 3 weeks. The kids enjoyed playing with their Nannie and Grampie, and will miss them very much while they're gone!!
Carter playing with his little baby toes :)
Cute little expression... reminded me of baby Cristian :)
Cristian and Grampie having a little water fight
Cristian was just loving every second of it, and ended up swimming around in the deflated pool.

We had a playdate at our house today with some of Cristian's Kindergarten friends (I guess now I should be saying 1st Grade friends, huh!!)
Here's Bailey, Cristian, and Hayden

Carter napping in the pack and play outside. We had such an enjoyable day! We ate a yummy lunch, the big kids played, and played and played on the water slide and big toy... Carter took a snooze, and us mom's all gave ourselves pedicures and sat out in the sun! It was wonderful!!
My baby boy is growing so fast!
Who could resist that smile :)
Watching out the window
Oh.... what big brown eyes you have!!

Someone wants his mommy to pick him up :)
Cristian was very excited to be apart of the "program" at GGT's bday party. Him and 3 of my youngest cousins all read one scripture verse from the Bible. Cristian's verse was Proverbs 12:1. Here he is showing the note card that I made for him.
Our family just before leaving for GGT's party. Not bad considering we set the 10 second timer and I ran into the picture :)

The kids outside playing on the golf course. I wanted to get a picture of all of them sitting on the grass, but I realized quickly that was probably not going to happen.
