Sand Gnats and Grasshoppers

We have had a busy spring with Tyler and Jake both playing baseball this year. John coached Tyler again this year and their team was the Sand Gnats. They had a great season and ended up 10-1. Tyler was #6 and played second base. He did really well this year and even made the All-Star team which will be starting up this week.
Jake played tee-ball and his team was the Grasshoppers. He was #7 and played shortstop. His team finished second in the tee-ball tournament and each player received a trophy for being the runner-up. It was a fun season. Jake said he's not sure he wants to play again next year. He is really looking forward to playing basketball this fall. I don't think he has quite the love for baseball that Tyler does. Basketball may be his thing. Who knows? I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Jake's Birthday and End of School Year

Jake turned six on the 14th. We kept it simple and just had a small party at our house. Jake had a tee ball game that night so May-May and Paw-Paw came down for the game and we ate dinner at Zaxby's before the game and had cake and ice cream afterwards. Jake was pleased to get his own Nintendo DS and several more toy sea animals and sharks. Jake also had his last day of Kindergarten Thursday. He really learned alot this year. He is reading well into a second grade level and he loves to write books. He received the award in his class for "Best Creative Writer." His teacher calls him her little "author." He was sad to be out of school because he said he would miss doing all of his school work. Here are a few highlights from his birthday and last day of school.
