Cake & Swim for Nesha

Melissa had the kids over with Nesha to have pre birthday cake and ice cream.

Of course the kids had a great time in the pool.

Nesha with some of "her kids."

She got to open a gift early from a group of friends, a Wii! She was excited.

And it was actually Pop's Birthday.. so HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO POPS!

Gabe's Birthday party

Gabe had his 7th birthday party at Putt Putt with a Super Mario Bros. theme.

Gigi made the cute Mario Bros. cake...

Mason and Eva were rubbing noses sweetly.

This was Mason and Maya's first time to play Putt Putt. Mason got pretty good at it and even got several hole in ones. Maya stayed interested for maybe the first 8 holes and then she was more interested in sitting on all the fake animals.

After the party, we let Mason and Maya drive the little race cars.

They really had fun and took turns being ahead of one another.






Mason gets his serious competitive game face going...

Bulldogs Baseball - First Game

Mason played well at his first game of the summer baseball season!

SWING batter...

Run boy Run...

Maya and Grandmother are a just a few of the fans...

Gabe and Mason are getting to play on the same team..

After the game, we went to lunch to celebrate Pops' birthday... which was the following day.

Mason's faux hawk

I was off on Wednesday for several appointments. I got to take Mason to the bus and get him ready for school. We jointly decided to fix his hair in a faux hawk for the day. He was excited for everyone to see it that day! His hair is really long right now since he is trying to grow it out like Zac Efron.

Maya & Raider

Maya goes out in the back yard regularly and has come up with this game for Raider. It is their own version of fetch... it's very sweet. On the subject of Raider... look how he sometimes sleeps!! It is pretty funny. I got the camera and woke him up with the flashing and clicking....

Brian and I finally saw Marley & Me. Marley is very much like Raider.. a cute movie.

Memorial Day Fun

The kids had a great day swimming and playing at Hidy and Gigi's on Memorial Day.
