The Baker Bunch: Summer in full swing!

Summer in full swing!

Wow! Summer is already flying by and I don't like it! We are trying to make the most of every moment that we get! We began the week with Zane's first baseball practice. We signed him up for a program called "Start Smart." There, they teach the kids the fundamentals for the sport that they are in and do not have games. It's a great way to introduce kids to sports! Parents are involved the whole time, so it's fun for everyone! We can already tell that Zane is way more interested in baseball than he was soccer...that was just painful! He seems to be a little more skilled in baseball as well, so that makes it easier! Zane's team is called the "Green Machines" and Coach Scott is wonderful with the kids!

Wednesday morning we had visitors...Porter, Tate, Ty, Mindy, Dennis and Sherri stopped by on their way to the Great Wolf Lodge. They boys had a lot of fun playing at the house, then we headed to Fritz's (the "choo choo place" where a train delivers your food) for lunch. They boys were so excited watching the trains come and go! This was the best picture I could get of all 4 of them looking forward...

The rest of the week we spent at the pool! Usually we either run errands or go to the library for one of their programs in the morning, come home for lunch, then head to the pool. Lucky for me, both boys LOVE the water! Mason is way too brave around the water already and makes me nervous, so you can't look away from him when at the pool!

This weekend we had Zane's birthday party with our families. Matt grilled and we had a great lunch, then it was time to open presents, eat cake and ice cream, and hit the pinata! This year Zane's theme was "Spongebob." Zane is such a lucky little boy to have an amazing family that does so much for him!
