Chooch is SIX

My baby turns six today! I can't believe it. He also lost his first tooth this week, so lots of big events. Yesterday his brother caught a bunch of tadpoles for him for his birthday. They are now living in the garage in a fish tank. (what a great gift)!

Tonight, Chooch and Cal both have games, then we are having cake and presents!

A friend party next week, followed by a White Caps game with 18 family members.

Happy Birthday Choochie...now quit growing up so fast!

Community Garden

Found out yesterday I am "IN" at the community garden. It is a 20 X 30 plot. My plan is to get it ready this week and get the early crops in since I am already behind. Hit up my dad last night for some tips as he was a farm boy!

Crop plans include: corn, tomatoes, sweet peppers, hot peppers, beans, peas, cukes, carrots, onions, and maybe some pumpkins (that's what the kids REALLY want)!

Any produce we don't eat will be donated to a local food bank. Its a WIN-WIN!

Chooch's first T-Ball Game!

Chooch's first game! There are pictures of his good friend Quinton too, who is on his team. Chooch (number 10 wearing the red striped socks) did a great job, hitting twice and playing short stop, first base and right field. Not sure who had more fun, us or him! (Special thanks to Grandpa "T" (aka Bobarazzi) for most of these great shots).

Pizza With Everything!

She sings, she flip flops, she dances, she plays softball, she is a straight A student, she is a poet and an author...and now she can officially add "artist" to her list! Her piece, titled "Pizza With Everything", is currently being shown at her school district's Art Fair! This is an honor to be chosen and she did a great job!

Tyler at Bat

Here are some clips from T's second game. Even though his team lost 7-3, he was able to score twice, once after each of these highlights. Great job!
