My 3rd Soccer Game

Today we played the Red Fireballs in soccer. Here they are.


And here we are, the Blue Dolphins.


I played goalie a lot and it was a little boring, so I leaned against the pole.


We lost 2-0, but I had a good cheering section.

Camping with Grandpa

As you know from Ben's t-ball game coverage, Grandpa Walter, Grandma Jan, Aunt Michelle and Hayden are visiting, in addition to Grandma Diane. Grandpa Walter, Ben and I had a campout in the basement. It was lots of fun.

My 2nd T-Ball Game

Tonight was my second t-ball game (I was supposed to have one on Wednesday and it was rained out!). We played the Green Giants (Ho, Ho, Ho was their team cheer). Everyone was here to watch the action - Grandma Diane, Grandma Jan, Grandpa Walter, Aunt Michelle and Hayden!

Here are the introductions.


Here I am leading off the game with a hit! I also scored the first run of the game.


I started off playing second.


Even Hayden had a great time!

Star Wars T-Shirt Day

My 2nd Soccer Game

Yesterday, we played the Crimson Dragons in soccer. We lost again, but the game was at a way different time and we only had six kids show up.

Here we are getting ready for introductions.


Here we all are in a big scrum. I just kicked the ball.


Here are the other team's defenders. They were playing ring around the rosie while they were waiting for the action to return to their side of the field.


I am hopeful that we'll go on to victory on Tuesday!

Sprinkler Time

It was really hot here in the Twin Cities today, so we ran through the sprinklers before going to shower and bed.

My First Soccer Game

Today was my first soccer game. The "Dolphins" (that's us) lost 3-1 to the "Storm Clouds."

Here we are during introductions.


I played goalie a lot. Please note that all of the goals against us were scored when someone else was playing goalie.

Ben

My First T-Ball Game

Tonight was my first t-ball game. It was a classic matchup of the Cheetahs (that's our team) versus the Bulldogs. We were a split squad tonight, and apparently not all of our team found the field (?).

We started the evening with introductions, just like at the Metrodome!


On my first at bat, I got a hit!


Then I made it to second and gave the crowd a big wave.


It was easy sailing to third...


And then I scored the first run of the game!


Cameron conducted business on his cell phone the whole time.


Officially, the game was a "tie," but Daddy stopped and got us McDonald's treats anyhow.

Farmin'

On Saturday morning, I helped Papa Jim do the chores. He let me drive the tractor.


Then, I helped Uncle Jayson fix the pond (from the tractor).

JJ The Cow

We visited Aunt Michelle and Uncle Jayson last weekend for the Reemtsma family reunion and we got to meet JJ the Cow. She was a late comer to the farm.

I thought she was cute from a distance.


When we got closer, we were a little stand-offish at first.


Then, Papa Jim let Ben and I feed her.




After that, we were right up in the action with her.

A Visit from Grandma Jan and Grandpa Walter

Grandma Jan and Grandpa Walter came to visit so that Mom and Dad could go to a doctor's appointment with me, but without Cameron. Later in the day, Cameron and I helped Grandpa Walter finish his soda.

Innie Minnie Meenie Oh

We've been working on this for a few days, but we can't quite seem to get it right.

Our Two Hole Golf Course

We got a new golf set yesterday (Mommy found a great one at Walgreen's), as our old set got broken by a not-so-well behaved kid at church last week. Daddy mowed a two hole golf course in the lawn for us and we hit the links.

4th of July, Krisy Kreme Style

For the past few years, we have gone to Krispy Kreme on the 4th of July to get sprinkle donuts with red, white and blue sprinkles. This year was no exception.




Happy 4th everyone!

Vacation Bible School '06: Game Day Central

We had vacation bible school at church this week. We had lots of fun.

Mommy taught our class again. This was our room. It was shaped like a soccer field and a locker room.



One of our favorite rooms was the craft room. Mr. Brett and Miss Wendy always do something special and this year was no exception. They made a hockey rink out for us to do crafts in.


In the background, you can see our friend Kaitlynn and her daddy. They normally don't come to our church, but she was able to visit with us for the week.



We had a closing ceremony on Thursday night. We got up and sang songs. We also raised money during the week for an orphanage in the Dominican Republic (that's the picture on the screen).

T-Ball

T-Ball and soccer season are well underway in the Twin Cities. Here are some pictures from tonight's t-ball practice from the bleacher seats along the first base line.






My team is the Cheetahs. Our soccer team is the Dolphins.

My Big Boy Bed

On Friday night, we finally went shopping for a big boy bed for me. On Saturday, Daddy went to Costco and bought me one.

Here's a picture of me and my crib prior to us disassembling it.


We had to take my aquarium off as well. There's no place to hang it on my big boy bed.


Ben and I thought it was fun that we turned the crib into a day bed.


Here we both are on my new big boy bed.



It's been really fun sleeping on it.

The Mad Tea Party

It's official. I got sick too, last night. And curiously, it had nothing to do with me spinning my daddy too fast on the Mad Tea Party.
