My little baseball stud!

Jacob played baseball again this summer and really enjoyed it. He has improved a lot since last summer. His games were every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 12 - 1. I'm hoping next year he'll play at night instead of during the day. The age group that he's in they don't keep score or play 3 outs. Each kid gets to bat and run the bases (if they don't get out). Jacob really enjoys playing baseball and has become a good little ball player!

MaKena's fat lip

About a month ago MaKena came home from daycare looking like she lost the fight. Well, she did.................with the driveway. MaKena was so excited to see Beth come and pick up Anna that she started running towards Beth and fell face first on the driveway. The end result was this nice big fat lip. But in a matter of days it was gone and her cute little face was back to normal. Thank goodness!

Doesn't seem like it bothers her!!

Our trip to the Cities

Back in June we went to the Cities for the Redepenning Reunion at Aunt Darlene's. Unfortunately I didn't get too many pictures because I left my camera in the car. But I did manage to get a few of the kids in the car on the way there and on the way back. We had a blast. We spent the afternoon at Darlene's and played games and visited with everyone. Afterwards we headed to our hotel and took the kids swimming. We tried to get some pictures in the pool but it was too dark so they didn't turn out. Grandma Kathy is probably pretty happy they didn't turn out! It was a fun weekend!!

Being goofy!

It took the kids about 10 minutes to fall asleep on the way home. They were so tired from all the fun they had!

Splish Splash!!

Here are some pictures of MaKena showing off her bathing suit and splashing around in the pool. These pictures were taking in early July and unfortunately Jacob was with his dad so he’s not in any of these pictures. MaKena loves to go swimming regardless if it’s a hot day or not. One day she was in there swimming and she was shivering but she kept going back in. I think we have another little fish on our hands!

I'm not really sure what she is doing in this picture but it was cute!
Playing with the fish in her pool that got a hole in it the same day I set it up.

She's trying to get her sunglasses on. Normally she puts them on upside down.

Swimming with her friend Anna. They live next door to us. They had a blast!

Swimming with cousin Isabel in the new pool we bought after the first one got a hole in it!

They loved the slide!
