It's time for more swimming lessons!

Swimming Lessons

 

We had a great time with swimming lessons this month.  Somehow, I only got pictures of this little monkey!

Twins Baseball Team

What a great season that Aiden's baseball team had!

White Sox Team

 

Parker's baseball team

Pitching - Baseball

Aiden pitched tonight.

He really enjoyed pitching.

Down and Ready

 

Yep, that's Parker kneeling at second in his "down and ready" position.

Pitching!

Aiden is in kid pitch baseball this year and this is the first time he's been the pitcher!

Here's a still shot of him getting ready to pitch!

Coach Pitch Baseball

 

Parker is in a coach pitch league this year and it's so much fun to see how much they have progressed since last year.  They are actually starting to make a few plays!

Basketball - last games of the season

Parker likes to get down low and try to rebound the ball.  He often causes a lot of jump balls.

Aiden's turn for basketball.

Parker loves playing with his friend in the stands.

Aiden's team photo.

Basketball

Parker's first basketball game!  They line the kids up every time they come in to play to match the kids up by height and let them know who they are guarding.

Parker takes guarding VERY seriously!

He really likes to be down low and to go for rebounds.  He even caused several jump balls today!

Aiden's first game of basketball.  He sat out to begin with and didn't even pay attention to his teammates.  They were just spinning balls on the sidelines until one went flying across the floor and it was time for them to get in the game.

Aiden was all about throwing the ball in.  (He's wearing white in the far left rear of picture trying to figure out who to throw the ball in to)

I really didn't get very good pictures at Aiden's game.  He's in the center, wearing white, with the ball trying to decide to shoot or to pass.  This is the first year that we have played basketball, but the boys absolutely LOVE it.  Now, we just need to talk Dad into putting up a basketball hoop in our driveway!

Basketball

Parker's first basketball practice.

 

These two were break dancing on the sidelines.

 

Aiden's first basketball practice was also a success. 

There are several kids on the sidelines playing, but I think these three are up to something.....

Last Soccer Match of the Season

Don't mind Emily and Emery making lots of noise in the background.  This video is fun to watch the big guys play soccer.

Aiden showing off a few of his soccer skills.

Coach James talking to the boys about their great season.

Moments later.....

Can't possibly end a season without making a pyramid!

After Soccer

 

This is the kind of shenanigans that happen after a soccer match.  Obviously, the kids don't use enough energy to play soccer that they can wrestle and make pyramids afterwards.

Soccer Game

Parker ready for the start of the match.

You get to see both boys playing some soccer in this video.  Parker is #6 and Aiden is #99 and the sweeper (goalie).  For awhile, it seems that Aiden and Parker can be on the same team every other year.  It's fun to watch them play together.

Swimming

Emery is fearless.  He totally thought he could jump in the water and swim to the ladder.

Parker is a blur on this one, but this is him cannon balling and swimming to the ladder.

Aiden doing a twisting turn while jumping off the diving board.  He's reason to celebrate is passing swimming lessons level 3B!  Way to go, Aiden!

Back Float

Last Tee Ball Game

 

Swimming Lessons - Drying Out

Emery's favorite way of drying off after swimming lessons.

Aiden diving at the end of lessons today.

Waiting

Parker can find ways to entertain himself while waiting for his teammate to hit the ball.

Swimming Lessons

 

Emery is loving swimming lessons.

Parker is starting to swim.

Aiden is really starting to become a good swimmer.
