T.BALL!!!

Ethan being silly...

GO PURPLE TEAM!!!

on 3rd base...

Ethan started T.Ball a few weeks ago, and is having a great time! It is SO funny to watch the 4 and 5 year olds play! They are too cute! Ethan is learning a lot and is a pretty good batter and has quite the arm on him! He plays on Monday nights at either 6 or 7:00. If anyone wants to come and cheer on the purple team, you are more than welcome!

Last Sunday we celebrated Ethan's 4th birthday and Lauren's 10th birthday at Fox Brook Park... the day started out iffy in the weather department... it poured on our way out to the park, but by the time the party started, it cleared up... it turned out to be a great day!!! Thanks to everyone who came and made the day a memorable one!!!

Weekend at the cabin...

Scott and the boys went up to the cabin this weekend... the trip was not just for a get-away... the purpose of this trip was to remove stumps from a clearing by the cabin in order to put up a swing set/playground that someone Scott knows was selling... Uncle Doug and his friend Justin went to Illinois to take down and load up the swing set and brought it up to the cabin... VERY nice of them!!! Saturday was a day of work, and from what I was told, it was VERY hot out!!! The kids enjoyed the new play area a lot!!! I stayed home and worked... I can't wait to go up north to watch the kids play!!! Thanks to Doug and Justin for all of their hard work!!! Also to Grandpa Schutten and Scott for their hard work too!!! Now... who is up for a weekend getaway?!?

Ethan had his last day of gymnastics at Altius last week... He started in the fall and has really enjoyed going to his class!!! His favorite thing to do is jump on the trampoline... He is done for the summer with gymnastics and will be starting Franklin T-ball at the end of the month... This should be good!!! Looking forward to watching him, and all of the kids play ball!!!
