Lots of baseball, a birthday and general good times!

As you'll see from the photos to follow, we spent a lot of time at the baseball field in June. Darin coached Jake's Diamondbacks team and they had a really strong early season - perhaps they peaked early! Either way, they had a fun time! Here's the team photo:



And an action shot in the field:



Near the end of the school year, QAS had a picnic. Megan got a pretty cool face painting:



Here is Megan with some of her fellow 3rd graders on the last day of school:



Since the last day of school was only 2 hours, we scheduled our last scout event of the year for that afternoon. We went sailing on the Tall Ship Windy. We also combined with the 4th grade troop. Look at the size of this group:



We got a chance to swim in Jenny's pool. Big jumps all around:





And while I'm a bit uncomfortable posting this next one, I don't want to be one of those moms that is never photographed. I also want them to remember that I can be fun (not all business with homework, brushing teeth, etc):



Jake had a ball game on his actual birthday. I made cupcakes for the team:



He also got to play catcher (all of that equipment is fun):



And I just happen to love this one:



Here's another "at bat":



Jake had a bounce house birthday party again this year. (The beauty of having a summer birthday)



Here's the whole gang:



And the whole gang with a big cheer!



Jake started using a sleep mask back in June. It's now December and it's part of his nightly ritual.



Megan's big news in June was that she cut off her long hair.







She donated that braid to Pantene Beautiful Lengths (they make wigs for cancer patients).



And here's Jake's last regular season game:
