Rain is good

The Purple Diva Girls enjoyed their first win of the season today...in the rain! It rained for only about an hour - the hour of her game. The pictures don't capture just how much rain was coming down and it really did come down. It was good luck, a lot of fun and Avery played an awesome game. Woo hoo!

School pictures

Just got the proofs of the kids school pictures today. They aren't smiling their natural smiles, but they still are darned cute. :-)

Justin - 5th grade

Avery - 2nd grade

Devin - kindergarten

Baseball Skills

Justin and his friend Hunter, started a baseball clinic last Saturday (along with resigning up for another round of hip hop) for 6 weeks. They will go over skills to prepare them for the coming season. He really enjoyed it on his first week and did great!

Our night out

A couple of weekends ago Kirk and I got away for an evening at the Hollywood Bowl to see Carrie Underwood. We had great box seats and had a great time! She was really good in concert and I just love the Hollywood Bowl. The traffic to get out of there leaves a lot to be desired (which we had completely forgotten about since it's been so many years since we were last there), but it still was a lot of fun!

Excuse the blurry pictures above. Oops!

No more swimming

Devin had his last swimming lesson last week. It had been getting increasingly more difficult to get him out the door each week. I think that since school started it was just too much. After coaxing him out the door each week and really kind of fighting with him to go, I gave in. Well, at least he can swim now. And I do plan on putting him back in around April or so just to brush up on his skills to make it a more safe and fun summer next year. You'd never know he was tired of it when looking at the picture above, would you? Silly boy. :-)
