Another Baseball Post

Here's another baseball post.  We've had a lot of fun this year, and a lot of chaos on the field!  I've been super impressed with Landon's focus, attention, and effort.  The kid really loves baseball.  He's pretty intense on the field.

Connor, Josh, and Landon.

Sibling sidelines.

She actually posed when asked.  I didn't want to lose her cooperation by attempting to move her hair out of her face.

Okay, he's super serious and intense, but still keeps his goofiness around.

Typical.

Goober.

Wouldn't relax even for a picture.

Connor got to try playing first base.  

Uncle Josh kept saying "get on the base Connor!" every time the ball was hit; so Connor decided "why get off the base?"  He played first base position, while standing on first base, while the other players were on base too.

Okay, LOVE this picture.  Kid on second base paying attention to the game on the other field.

Landon looking ticked at how some people can't pay attention or play the game.

Other Summer and Fall Activities

Several other activities this summer/fall that I didn't take a ton of blog-worthy photos for.  Plus, don't have a ton of time to write a post about each individual activity; but, wanted to document for the future blog-book......

Birthday Trip to Aquarium

Again, this year, we went to the Aquarium for Landon and my birthdays.  And again, only paid for Josh's entry.

Beluga Whale tank.

Sting Ray & Pigtails.

Outdoor Movies

We did a few outdoor movies at my parents' house.  The first one was Shrek.  The second one was The Sandlot.  And the third one was a giant family event and we watched The Swiss Family Robinson.  We played KineX (spelling?!) until it got dark enough to really enjoy the movies.

Playing Fruit Ninja.

I think this was the second time we did the outdoor movie.

Labor Day Weekend 

We spent Labor Day weekend with family and friends at the Schueth's cabin/lake house.  Lots of fun times!

Group shot minus Landon......he was napping.

Uncle Jared found a Cicada and the kids were amazed.

They also found a Rhino Bug.  I think that's what it was anyway.  

Jillian is holding the bug in her hand.  Mind you, she sees a fly and freaks out.

Checking out the Rhino bug together.

Loves, loves, loves the water.

Lots of Time with Cousins

We spent a lot of time with cousins this Summer & Fall.  A lot of time up at Josh's Dad's lake house at Lake Hartwell.  Some, here at our house.

Lots of meals eaten together.  And it's much easier cleanup when you feed six kids under six outside!

Goofy group by the fire pit.  

Check out Jillian's expression!

Sarah and Charlie came for a visit.

Sarah made paper-bag puppets and put on a few shows for the others.  

They really enjoyed her show.  Actually, they thought it was hilarious!

Lots of water time in the back yard.

Homemade popsicles in the backyard. 

Eating......lots of eating.

Again, check out Jillian's expression.

Boat rides.

They really did enjoy the boat ride, I just can't get the picture of them smiling to load to the blog.
