Weekend at mumu's

A couple of weeks ago mom and I decided to take Big boy, and my neices and nephew (TAD, DPD, And MRD) to visit my grandma (mumu). She lives in a little town that we are from that is about three hours away. So on friday night we took off, we had to take 2 car because we both have little cars and there are two many of us. So me and the girls in 1 car, and mom and the boys in the other car, headed on our 3 hour drive to visit mumu. We ended up getting there late in the night so all the kids were wired from the drive and bouncing off the walls. With the kids being very excited about being at mumus we all woke up quite early but that was okay with me, I was able to get some really great photos.

After they ate breakfast they went straight outside to go play. They had a lot of fun, they mostly played with the wagon, the little car, or they just walked on the rocks. There were a couple of fights but they really got along really well.

We also took a walk across the pond, the kids found a pear tree and they really liked looking at the pond.







Well mumu has a swimming pool, however about a week prior to us coming to visit, they had really bad thunderstorms which caused mud to go into the pool. So mumu was trying to clean up the pool and made it clear again, by the time we got there the pool was swimable but they were a little cloudy. So we let the kids swim, MRD was a little daredevil and she was not afraid of jumping in to TAD, DPD was also jumping into the pool and having a really great time, Big boy was a little more timid and would not get off the ladder the whole time.

After swimming we sat around and talked, and the kids played some more and "butthead fred" came to visit us (butthead fred is what DPD named my cousin). She and I decided to make the kids a suprise after dinner snack. The kids couldn't handle not knowing what we were doing. We made them Oreo balls, it was really funny, we had to have mumu help us at one point because we burnt the chocolate. We had a lot of fun, and they turned out really good.

The rest of the trip we just spent hanging out with the family and catching up, it was really nice to spend time with my family, I haven't seen them in a while.

We had a great weekend.

T-Ball

Seeings how I'm still trying to catch up on my blog, Big Boy wanted to do T-ball this year. So we signed him up, well the way the program works where we live is... it is a 6 week thing. For the month of June they would just go twice a week in the morning sometime and learn about baseball in general and would focus on the tball part. Well in July for 2 weeks the would split all the kids up in to 4 teams and they would all play 6 games. First they started out with the actual T. But for the last two games the coach (which was the coach of every team) would pitch them the ball. Each player got 5 chances to hit the ball after that they put the ball on to the T. The whole thing was about learning and experiencing the game, so they did not keep score.

Big boy before his first game, he was so excited!!

Hitting of the T, one of his first game, he usually didn't have a lot of problems hitting off the T!

Playing out field, it was really funny to watch, not only big boy but every kid on the teams would run for the ball no matter what position they were supposed to be out, there was several occasions that they would be out there fighting over the ball.

Waiting on the ball.

Big boy would beg the coach to let him play pitcher!! Look at him go!!

He had it the ball from the coach a couple of times at practice but it was not till the very last game that he hit it in front of awesome guy, and he only did it once!!!

All and all I know he had a lot of fun, he is looking forward to doing more baseball in the future.
