Andrew happenings

Well the time has come that all my kids are going to be in school full time. My youngest Andrew has graduated kindergarten! I'm so proud of him and how much he is learning and excelling in!

Above, Andrew had to have a costume that was something to do with a tomato to represent the color red. Each child either had a number or a color and they sang the cutest songs for each. I got those on video because they are too cute to not see again!

Below, we had a nice surprise when Andrew was called up with 4 other kids and was recognized for succeeding so well in his learning. And of course because our name starts with "T" Andrew brought up the rear of the line of graduates (in the red plaid shirt). The kids came up one side of the stage and got their diploma from Mrs. McKee and headed to the other side to shake hands with the principal Mr. Hunsaker.

We love Mrs. McKee and thank her for all her time and dedication to my Andrew!

Andrew's first loose tooth was kind of a funny situation...Jon and I had to encourage Andrew to wiggle it all he could to get it out because......

......there was another tooth already growing behind it! One tooth came out and ta da...another tooth was already there to take its place!

Spring Baseball

Baseball was...interesting this year...the boys loved it and hated it at the same time. When they were playing their games they loved it! But getting them there was another story. It got better as the season went along. Andrew was in the McCammon league and Joshua and Caleb were in the Chubbuck league so it made for interesting conflicts when one game was in Lava while another game was in Chubbuck.

Andrew played 2 years ago and wouldn't step foot on the field without mommy, but this year he did great and got in the game and played on his own. Does that mean my little boy is growing up?!

Joshua actually didn't want to play baseball this year but I thought for sure he would want to when game time came. The desire didn't come right away like I thought so definitely I learned a lesson. Next year I will not push the issue! I think all in all though he had a good time.

Caleb by far had the biggest learning experience with baseball this year. As the boys get older the game gets more competitive. The game was not always fun and games but Caleb learned a lot! And I think he's grateful in the end for that.

Caleb played 3rd base quite a bit this year and had some amazing plays. One team they played against had a girl that was probably the best player in the league. When she was up to bat she hit the ball pretty well. But one of Caleb's team mates scooped the ball up and rocketed it to Caleb and Caleb caught it, swung around and tagged the girl out. It was awesome!
