Ballgames and a Ballerina

Friday night and Saturday morning we had three ball players....

 Brock even hit his sister home!

 and got a home run himself!

 Ayden, Papa, Grandma and I cheered them on from the stands

 while Joey was out on the field filling in

 

 The kids "won" the game.... they thought everytime they got hotdogs (which was after every game) that meant they won their game :)  

The poor babies were so wore out after the game

 They were sleeping so good we just let them sleep in their uniforms

Saturday morning was Ayden's turn to play ball and Bethany & Brock's turn to watch....

as you can see they are not very good cheerleaders unless you count the dinosaurs as their audience :)

Baseball is going to be Ayden's sport, he really took this year seriously, even during his warm up time.

 He played great and the boys went home with grandma and papa while Bethany turned into a ballerina for the Pickle Festival

 Luckily this year it wasn't as cold as last. The girls waited so patiently. Bethany stayed quiet as she normally does when she's nervous. 

The cutest little girls were ahead of Bethany's group

 

 and the very talented older group went directly before them. Bethany is always amazed watching the older girls. You can see her wheels turning imagining herself just a little bit older on that stage. 

 Now it was showtime.

 "Ain't She Sweet" was the song and it boy was that the perfect fit for this group!

 

 Mrs. Collins cheered the girls on from the side

 and was right there to catch them off stage 

 Bethany had a special visitor... baby Anika and Mrs. Kelly

  It took till after the performance but I finally got a crack of a smile out of her

 after I promised and icy and a balloon lol! 

 We also had lunch at one of her favorite spots... Hwy 55 ! 

 Our last stop was grandma Arbeau's house... since she couldn't make it to the festival she made Bethany a chocolate cake 

 Which Bethany immediatly stuck her face in.... "what, grandma said it was MY cake" she says :)

 These kids run Joey and I ragged but it's so much fun!
