Angels vs. Oakland A's

Jack really wanted to go to an Angels game with Darin and I and Hank. So on Thursday night we found a sitter for Lily and Will and went to the game. It was so fun to hang out with Jack and Hank and enjoy the baseball game with them. It wasn't a very exciting game, but they loved every minute of it.

Jack is 9 years old today!

Will got to open his present we got him from Aunt Esther and Uncle Jason! Thanks so much!

Vegetable Garden Week #9

Our sunflowers bloomed!
We have corn growing on the stalks, spaghetti squash growing, and lots and lots of green beans and yellow squash.
Pretty!

Today was the last day of swimming lessons. Lily, Jack and Hank did awesome. Jack and Hank passed their class and their teacher told me they could skip the next level and sign up for Minnows next summer. Lily has to stay in Tiny Tots until she is older. Today they played in the pool for 15 minutes and then they all had a cookie party with the cookies they brought to share. I so wanted to make some delicious, homemade cookies in the shape of dolphins or something cute like that....but I sent Chips Ahoy. What a let down, I know. I ran out of time. :) Will had his own cookie party with a baggie full of cookies and my soda.

Today was a hot one.

Wading pool at Mayfair Park

It's been so hot we've been staying after swim lessons to play in the wading pool. It's nice for Will to get a chance to swim also.
