Full Weekend

This past weekend was filled with gymnastics/dance, baseball, fishing, swimming, and church activities. It seemed like we went from one activity to another and I can tell you that I am glad that these activities are wrapping up. My 7yr old had her final dance/gymnastics class on Friday and has her recital this week. She will miss her classes as she has really enjoyed learning how to do cartwheels, flips, and various dances. Here she is posing for me as she also had pictures done this Friday. This is her outfit that she will wear to her recital this week. It is her favorite as it glows in the dark!


Then it was on to baseball first thing Saturday morning. The team did well and I was even able to take a few pictures of my little ball player. He plays 3rd base and we were sitting right by the base so I was able to click one of him at his post. He was warming up in between innings and was getting ready to throw the ball to one of his teammates.



Then I was able to catch him while he was up to bat. He was able to get a nice hit and made it on base while another teammate made it home. YEAH! He sure does love this game. He is always going outside and throwing around the ball and getting us to play baseball with him. He even bought his little sister a glove out of his own money so she could play catch with him. :)


When we got back home my son wanted to go fishing so we hunted up some worms and walked down to the river so he could throw his line in for a big catch. Unfortunately, he was not able to catch any fish, but in his defense I believe his sisters did not help as they were throwing rocks and walking about in the river scaring all the fish.


On the way back home my 3yr old decided to stop and talk to all the cows alongside the road. Notice their rapt attention. I think her mooing was entertaining for them. She was happy that they paid attention to her and kept talking about all the funny bossy cows the whole way home and kept mooing to show that she could indeed talk to them. Who knew she was fluent in cow!


On Sunday we missed a pool birthday party due to an activity we had at church so I agreed to take them all to the river for some swimming. The water was cold but that did not stop us from jumping in and tubing down the river. After a while my 3yr old got cold so her and I sat up on the bank wrapped in towels enjoying the beautiful scenery and watching her brother and sister play around in the water. I snapped this picture. I love how she looks in it. Look at that beautiful smile!!


Below you can see her sister unsuspectingly floating in her tube down the river to her brother who was pretending to be a super hero on a video game. He was doing all these karate moves in the water and splashing it at the evil villains. What his sister did not know is that she was coming closer and closer to his fierce water attack. Needless to say she did not really enjoy his splashing of water continuously at her. He then made her one of the "good guys" and decided I was one of the evil villains and they came after me. I could not defend myself well as I was to busy laughing at all his crazy faces he was making while doing his "cool" Karate moves. He could really throw that water far!

So that was our busy weekend. This week we started our Homeschool testing and so far it is going really well. We only have another week of school before our official start of summer and the kids cannot wait to do something fun to celebrate. I cannot wait for my hubby to come home. I tried to get him to come next week but that was too short a notice to give. I am ready to have some real home time with him as the last time was way to short and way to busy! So...hurry home hon! We miss you!
