Daddy/Daughter Date
A couple of weeks ago the kids school hosted a Daddy/Daughter date night set to the theme of the 50's. They had pizza and snacks and a DJ. They had a fun night together and got this picture taken while they were there. It's the boys and my turn at the end of April. Can't wait!

Baseball moments
I brought my video camera to the past couple of games. The first one shows justin almost getting hit in the head at the plate. He ended up being walked and scoring a run. The second one is of Avery getting on base and sliding into home and scoring as well. Way to go, Sumida kids!
Fifty Nifty
About a week ago the entire 5th grade at Justin's school did a performance of Fifty Nifty during Friday Morning Line-up. Enjoy!

Watch DOGS
The kids school has a program that asks the dads of the students to volunteer on campus at least one day during the school year. The idea is to have a male presence on campus for more security. Last Friday Kirk took his day and had lunch with each of the kids, volunteered in their classrooms and on the playground. DOGS stands for Dads Of Great Students. What a great dad!

Take me out to the ball game...
Baseball season has begun and we have 2 players this year. Justin is playing for the White Sox and his best friend, Hunter, is also on the team, so that makes it a lot of fun. Avery is on the Mariners and has her same coach as last year (we love him!) and a few of the same players, which makes it a lot of fun too. They both have played 3 games so far and have won 2 of them. Should be a fun season. Go Sumida's!
On opening day they both had games back to back and my parents came to watch. So nice to have Grandma and Grandpa Winn cheering them on! Avery was also 1 of 2 players on her team to receive the coveted Big League Chew for all her awesome hits at the plate. Way to start the season again, Avery! (Too bad, but Justin's coach doesn't do team ball or gum or anything. Guess he's getting too old for that stuff?)

Gotta Keep Reading!
Avery's school put on a performance today during their weekly Friday morning line-up. It was the entire second grade and it was really cute. Enjoy!
And the Oscar goes to....
US! We had so much fun last Sunday. My friend, Natalie (on right), invited me and another friend (Mechelle, middle) to go to her moms for an Academy Awards party. We left straight after church and enjoyed the jacuzzi, painted each others toes and then enjoyed the awards eating a bunch of yummy food and critiquing everyones dresses. Such a fun time! Can't wait to do it again next year!
Such sweetness
Last Saturday Justin's old Primary teacher hosted a pizza party for all her old students. She taught his class for three years and was released last summer. She just loves 'her kids' and is the sweetest to each of them. She still makes them cakes for each of their birthdays. Seriously, one of the most thoughtful and loving people and Justin is lucky to have her in his life. And she was sweet enough to invite Avery to come too. We love you, Sister Burd!
