Division 3 Champs!

We have been so busy that I forgot to post video and pics of LM's baseball team!  The Yankees won the Division 3 Championship!

Little Man up to bat!

So Serious!  :)

The Yankees!

 The silly Yankees!

Yeah!!!

LM had such a great time playing baseball and making new friends…already wants to sign up for next season!

Summertime

Little Man has a lot going on so far this summer!  Camps every week and an occasional get together with a friend on the weekend.

Minecraft Camp was a hit!  I was so impressed at how organized they were.  The pick-up and drop-off security was awesome, the campus was great and the camp counselors were upbeat and patient with the kids.  This is a definite "do again" camp.

Invited LM to join him in "his world"

I guess the kids can send out invites to log into their Minecraft world to play and build.

Pretty Cool!

The local Lego Store has a monthly Lego Club Build.  We've been to a few but this time LM's buddy "H" and his Mom met us there!  Fun time building. 

Explaining his project.

Their assignment was to build a habitat for their parrot.

Summertime Spruce Up!

I'll start this post with a cute picture of the boy.  :)

Central Market had a classic pickup out front so we had to get a pic!  Love classic cars!

I don't think I ever posted pictures of the creek in our neighborhood during the May flooding.  Crazy to see.  All the elderly residents were saying, "in the 40+ years we've lived here, its never been that high!"

White water rafting anyone?

The bench is going under!

This is were the low water dam used to be.

You could walk across the rocks from the other side of the creek!

Now to the main reason of this post.  We have been working on the house…stuff you really didn't get to see but still made a difference.  Think, insulation, new electrical box, etc.  I know…doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies either.

We've been putting off having people over to swim / party in the pool (cause you know…we're crazy like that) because the pool and patio were looking a little rough. 

We had the pool re-plastered this past October after swim season and are now having the patio leveled and covered with Oklahoma flagstone.  Also had the black wrought iron fence around the pool taken down to open up the back yard.  What a difference!

In progress

Still in progress

Will keep you posted on the progress!

So excited!  Can finally have some pool parties for little man and his friends!

Hit the Ground Running!

The last day of school was celebrated with a 2nd Grade Boys Swim Party at the neighborhood pool!  A good number of the boys made the party and had a great time!  I think we'll do this every year!

Popsicle time!

We have also been crazy busy with baseball!  The month long rainstorm we had here in TX caused major delays in the season.  So now we get double header Saturdays…yeah.  :)

 Go Yankees!

I tried to pick the one video where I wasn't 

screaming like a crazy woman. :D

And Summer Camps!  Last week he attend the UTD Baseball camp and really enjoyed it and learned a lot.  This week is Minecraft Camp and I can't tell you how stoked he is about it!  Do people say stoked anymore?

Baseball Championship game is this Saturday!  I'm sure we'll be out on the practice field a couple of days this week getting ready.  Hope everyone is enjoying their summer vacation so far!
