What's baseball without hotdogs?

Joseph's favorite thing about baseball games is hotdogs. LOL

Mallory on the Go

Mallory likes being able to drive. She and one of her friends went to the beach today while the rest of us attended a baseball game and end of the season party. She just need to remember not to make plans to use the truck without asking us first if she can use it.

Canon Ball !!!

I took some cool pictures of the kids jumping into the pool.

Flip?

I'm not sure what Joseph was trying to do here, but it sounded like it hurt a little when he hit the water. He said that it did not hurt.

Twisting Around

Bailey performs a twisted leap into the pool.

Natalie Loves the Pool

Natalie is getting more confident in the pool. She loves being in there with her siblings. She can move herself all over the pool from the steps to the deep end.

One, Two, Three ...

Natalie was counting to three before jumping into the pool. She puts up her fingers as she counts.

Joseph got his Blue Advance Belt

Joseph took his belt advancement test Saturday morning and his now a blue advance. The testing takes about two hours to complete as they have to show everything that they've learned since they were white belts. He looks very skinny in that white uniform. His goal for the belt test in August is to advance to red belt.

Before

Joe was getting too hot with his long hair and full beard so he decided to cut it.

After

Everyone thinks that Joe looks like a biker with his new haircut and goatee.

New Hair Style too?

Natalie kept putting her shorts on her head, so I had to take a picture.

Bailey gets her Yellow Intermediate Belt

Bailey took her belt advancement test Friday night and is now a yellow intermediate. She's wearing a yellow advance belt because the place they ordered the belts from sent white intermediate belts by mistake. So when the correct belts come in they will switch them out. Bailey's goal for the belt test in August is to skip over yellow advance and go straight to green. That will required a lot of hard work on her part, but there's not much else to do during the summer. She's knows that we'll buy her sparring gear when she gets her green belt and she really wants to start sparring.

That doesn't look like a Tae Kwon Do uniform

Bailey was so proud of her new belt that she wore it to bed.

Sleeping Sisters

Bailey and Natalie are asleep together on the sofa. When I last looked at them, Natalie was on the other end of the sofa. She must have wanted to be with her sister to fall asleep.

Bored at Third

Bailey had another game tonight. Doesn't she look thrilled to be playing third base?

Great Hits

Bailey hit two ground balls out into left field. If they let the girls run more than one base at a time, she would have gotten two doubles.

Great Swings

Joseph's team also played tonight. They only got 2 innings in before the game was called due to lightening. Joseph's got a good swing, if he ever hits the ball, it's going to be gone He just keeps missing the ball by a little bit. Joe says he's not swinging at bad pitches, so next game he's going to move him back in the batter's box to see if that helps. Only one for game left for the season.

Tough Ballons

The ballons were very tough to break. They kept breaking on the ground instead of on the kids. This ballon didn't break either. Can you see how it flattened out against her arms?

5th Grade Field Day

Taylor got to participate in 5th grade field day today. I helped with the water ballon toss. I kept taking pictures waiting for the ballon to break.

Lunch Cruise

The eigth graders at Rachel's school went on the a lunch cruise today. They all got to dress up very nice. Rachel got a new push up bra to go with her new dress. Can you tell? What happened to my baby?
