Jackson had his 5th t-ball game on Monday night . . . it was another HOT one!! His buddy Nathan had the game before ours so we took the opportunity to take a picture together in their uniforms. They play each other their very last game the end of June!! Jackson had 3 great hits last night and got lots of outs at 2nd base . . . once he realized he had to actually have the baseball in his glove to tag a player out! : )


Jackson had his 4th t-ball game tonight . . . and it was a HOT one!! He did a GREAT job hitting . . . . especially the 2nd & 3rd inning when Daddy was pitching to him!! And he played short-stop again. I let Kayleigh out to run around before Jackson's game started and then put her back in the stroller at end end of the 1st inning . . . and yes, bribed her with fruit loops and popcorn! We were all red faced by the end of the night . . . Papa came down for Jackson's game and took us all out for ice cream afterwards, so we could cool off : )

We had been talking for a while about expanding our back patio to make a little more room to eat outside and for the kids to play. A few weeks ago on a Friday morning, Dave decided to tackle that project! Unfortunately, I didn't take a "before" picture (only a "during"), to see that he tore out the landscaping that lined the patio . . . it had been highly neglected and just wasn't how we would best use the space. So extending the patio was a great option . . . and it turned out awesome!! We have eaten outside MANY times already!!
