Drew had his first t-ball game last weekend!! One of his practices had been rained out, so his team had only practiced one time. It was hilarious!! In the first inning, whenever the ball was hit, the whole team would run after it, and then two or three of them would fight over it. And after they hit the ball, they'd stand and watch all the commotion instead of running the bases! haha Emma was so good and played on the blanket with her toys the whole time. One time, Drew was across the field on first base, waving and yelling, "Hiiii, Emma!!" LOL
"Gooooo Blue!"
One thing I love about the Y...they pray before every game. And when the coach asked the team, "why do we pray?" Drew was the one that answered, "to give thanks to God." =)
The HUGE hats are pretty silly...but cute!
Out there on second base! They looked so funny running with helmets on - I think it was a first for most of them and they look so unbalanced!
Drew, number 10 like his Daddy, was getting some last minute tips from his coach before batting. He took two pitches from his coach and missed, so he hit off the tee after that. Only one other kid took pitches from the coach, and she missed too. I think that's something they'll do more of in the later games.
Running the bases! Yay!!
Chad and I ran in the Warrior Dash this past weekend!! Chad had done it last year, and it looked like so much fun, so I signed up!! It's a 3.1 mile race with FOURTEEN obstacles!! I was so worried about the obstacles (swimming through nasty muddy water and pulling yourself up onto things in the water, super high rock walls and cargo nets, etc.), but they were the funnest parts - and the easiest! The running through the muddy woods and all the super steep hills are what killed me! (it didn't help that I laid on the couch with a fever and flu-like symptoms for two days just four days before the race!!) It was one of the hardest things I've ever done...and maybe one of the funnest! Chad finished in 37:12 and I did it in 50 minutes flat. And now he's got a nasty, swollen ankle from turning it halfway through the race - that's a true warrior!! Here's a picture of us BEFORE the race.
And then AFTER the race...a little dirty!
Okay, VERY dirty!
The kids thought our medals and horns were pretty cool!!
This is Drew's last week of school (wow!), and it's teacher appreciation week. Here's our homemade gifts for his two teachers. We filled insulated straw cups with several different flavors of Crystal Light - and I took a picture of him with a Thank you note and put it in a little wooden frame. And then we put flowers in a skinny tube and put that in a mason jar, and surrounded it with magnetic ABCs! Two ideas I got off pinterest.com...my FAVORITE website ever!!
