TANK TURNED NINE
it's tradition to celebrate the life of our dear chihuahua, tank. and we certainly weren't about to break with tradition! we baked him (but really us) a cake, forced him to wear a party hat (because dogs in party hats are the cutest), sang him happy birthday, and let chet and holden make him a special birthday dinner with all sorts of tasty things they found in the fridge - cheese, bacon bits, leftovers, peanut butter. we think he had a really great day. haha.
CHET'S SPRING CHOIR CONCERT
chet was part of his school choir again this semester. a lot of his close friends are in the choir, so they have a good time at the weekly practices. the choir directors are really awesome, so that makes it fun for him too!
this semester, the theme for the songs they sang was "disney/broadway", which was soooo much better then last semester! last semester, they were like these made-up songs about pilgrims and ruldolph. and, although i learned every single word to every single one of those songs, i wasn't super fond of them. this time, they were all classics that we liked to practice/jam out to on our car rides around town.
not only did chet look oh so dapper at his concert, he also did a great job singing! we were proud of him and loved being there to cheer him on. (except tad.. he doesn't really like to sit still for more then like 2 minutes).
T-BALL IS OVER
i don't think matt or i expected to like watching our boys play t-ball as much as we did. it turned out to be such a fun season! the boys on the team all got along so well, and the parents were all really fun to visit with during practices and games. annnnd our coaches were outstanding!
(random fact: one of our coaches is famous! kinda. we didn't find out until the last week of the season but, when we did a little google, we found out that he has been in a few noteworthy shows. one of which is like matt's favorite - the walking dead. sooo basically, we have celebrity friends.)
t-ball was supposed to be holden's 'thing'. chet chose not to sign up for a team when we offered, so it was just holden who was going to play. but.. when a few players from the team were consistently unable to attend, the coaches asked chet if he would like to join. he was a bit apprehensive at first, but totally fit right in after a couple practices. and holden was excited about having his big brother join the team, which made me happy.
the boys learned a lot during the season! it was fun to see how much they improved. the got really good at hitting the ball off the tee and, eventually, got good at hitting the coach's pitches. they are so much better at catching and getting in front of the ball, too. chet and holden both preferred practices to games and, when playing a game, they preferred when they got to be the team at bat rather then the team in the field. don't blame 'em.
i look forward to another season of t-ball/baseball!
BEACH DAY
it is no secret that i LOVE the beach. so i was thrilled to have the most amazing of beach days the other weekend. we went to a beach called sunset beach, just north of huntington pier. the weather was perfect (a lot of the time when we go to the beach it is cool and windy, but not this day.. it was hot!) and the waves were perfect too! they were nice little waves the boys had fun running and playing in.
