Mason's First T-Ball Game

On Sunday, Mason had his first "big" T-ball game at Kunkle Field. He was so excited and did a great job with hitting. He didn't have to hit off the Tee which was a great accomplishment.His first time up to bat.
Gets to first base!

He had a fan club there to watch, including his baby cousin Bode!!! Makayla loves Bode!

The boys were so happy!
After a hard game of t-ball, Mason was hot and was ready to head home! I think he has found something he really likes! Looks like we will be enjoying lots of baseball games in the near future :)

Our Beach Trip 08

Enjoy our pictures from our beach trip to Dewey with the Ginder's! We had a blast :) Here are the kids on the beach the very first day. Mason, Matthew, Makayla, Madison & Hailey
This is what we did for Matt for Father's Day and then had it framed! He loved it!

Mason LOVED playing in the sand. He was not sure about the ocean. Reminded me of my brother when he was little, he would just rather play in the sand that step foot in that big ocean.
Makayla building a BEAUTIFUL sand castle!
Matt and Makayla swimming in the freezing cold ocean. She love it so much, she would cry when she had to get out :)
Mason, Madison, and Matthew in the hole.
We were ablet to get Mason in for a little bit of a test of the ocean, but it didn't last very long.

Matthew and Daddy in the ocean.

After a long morning of playing on the beach, Hailey and Makayla had enough! They need a rest.

This is what Matthew and Madison did all day on the beach, DIG FOR SANDCRABS!

Matt and Steve relaxing under the canopy. Too much sun the first day so they had to stay out of it the second day!
The kids burried Matt in the sand!

All dressed up to go out to eat for dinner!

Eating dinner at BigFish! The kids loved it. Kim and I ordered Fried Calamari as an appetizer and the kids LOVED IT!!! Probably because they didn't know what they were eating.
After dinner we decided to go into Rehobeth rather then try and beat the OC traffic. We went to the small amusement park to let the kids ride the rides. This was there favorite!
Makayla and Hailey on the Merry-Go-Round. They were in-seperable all weekend :)

The fun days :)

Kids are great, especially when you capture all of the great memories. These are candid shots of my kids over the past week just being them!

Up next to bat! The helmet is bigger then he is I think.
