Memorial Day Champions!!!

The Black Sox played incredible baseball this weekend and Dennis was on FIRE! Not only did we play (and beat!) the Cougars but Dennis drove in the winning run! It was so much fun to watch the boys play and Dennis got his first championship ring! Not to mention that the coach awarded him the "game" ball for his last hit to win the game!! Go Black Sox!!

Hello Summer 2009!!!

Goodbye 2008-2009 school year! On May 21st Billy has his last day of preschool in the 3's room with Teacher Debbie. She was absolutely a perfect teacher for Billy's first introduction to school. She was so patient and encouraging and Billy was very lucky to have her. In August he will move up to the 4's classroom with Teacher Terry and he'll be attending 4 mornings a week!

Dennis finished up 4Th grade with a bang and made honor roll once again. This year was a bit more challenging for him since he entered the honors program and we couldn't be more proud of his hard work and determination!

Billy goes on a field trip

A few weeks ago at Billy's preschool Spring Gala we bid and won a trip to the Wildlife World Zoo with Teacher Terry. So today, bright and early, Teacher Terry (Billy's teacher next year) and Teacher Melanie (school director) picked up Billy for his special day. They drove north to Payson and had a great day at the zoo. They pet snakes, had ice cream and watched the lions feed. He had a blast! They even made him his own photo book to remember the day!

Little League Mets

Little League season is also coming to an end. Dennis was lucky enough to be placed on a Majors team a few games into the season and it turned out his coaches were also friends/ neighbors of ours. As a matter of fact, Dennis played t-ball with a few of the boys back when they were three years old. My does time fly ......

I was finally able to get a few photos at today's early evening game so atleast I have some with Dennis in his Mets uniform. Great team. Great season! All stars is just around the corner and Dennis has informed us he wants to play. I think he forgot how HOT it was the last two years......

T-ball season is over

Billy just finished up his 3rd season in t-ball and he is excited about returning to fall ball once the summer is over. His last game was HOT, as in over 100 degrees, and the kids had about had enough! Good thing there was cake, ice cream and trophies after the game to use as bribery! :) Billy really enjoyed his red Gatorade as evidenced his mustache.

Happy (early) Birthday Billy!!!

Today was my co-op day at school and we celebrated Billy's summer birthday with his classmates. We had a water play day with sprinklers, wading pool, bubbles and water guns! The kids had a blast especially since it was in the triple digits! I also got a good shot of Billy with Teacher Debbie.....and he's giving the peace sign...silly kid! We're sure going to miss Teacher Debbie! Next week is the last week of preschool......

D'back Fans

At the very last minute we decided to catch a Diamondbacks game. We were very lucky to find GREAT seats! Lot's of player photos...... including Eric Byrnes!!! LOT'S of Byrnes!!! Billy had a great time playing with Baxter the Bobcat and Justin Upton threw Dennis a ball! He was in heaven!!! I think I'm really starting to like Felipe Lopez too!

Flat Siena enjoyed her visit to Chase Field too!!
