Our crazy family was in the throws of Matthew's 6th Birthday month celebration. We took in a couple Spring Training games while Uncle Todd and cousin Caleb were here.. Matthew pretty much has been eat, sleeping, and breathing baseball during their visit. Here's the aftermath results of an A's vs. Giants game with Uncle Todd and Caleb.
Batting practice before the Mariners vs Diamondbacks game at the Peoria complex. Spring training is such a great experience for the whole family.
Matthew gets a few signatures on his baseball by some Mariners. The highlight of his day!
Our DBacks season is in full swing and our DBacks are playing some amazing baseball. Matthew is loving this season of baseball and doing a great job. Coach Pitch did take alittle getting use to and plays on a team of 6,7, and 8 year old boys.. but he has 4 amazing coaches and they are so good with the boys and working on their skills. They have really been coming together as a team and figuring out all the "plays" and where they are. So cute to hear them yell out "plays at 2nd, or plays at home", even though we are "suppose to not be" keeping score anyone who knows me knows that would be an impossiblity for me to do. So yes our Dbacks have lost only one game to those dang Yankees. Funny even in coach pitch they are not very nice to play against... lots of trash talking that day.
Katie's Storm season has ended and they went out with a bang by beating the only team they lost to 5-0 in their final game. These girls are an amazing team and I can't wait to see them on the big fields finally this fall and putting everything together that they have been working on for the last 4 years. Now we are in a holding pattern until school is out for her summer swim team season to begin. I love watching her swim and yes I am the loudest parent on the side of the pool deck!
Emma has been begging me to play soccer so we will sign her up for the fall season too along with Katie. She already thinks she is a soccer player and loves to put her hair up in a "soccer" ponytail. She has been watching her big brother and sister play for so long she already knows the basic skills so it should be fun to watch her develop. I just hope we get lucky with a great beginning team just like we did with Katie.
Wow I just can't believe that we only have 4 weeks of school left and then we are on summer break. We have been busy with end of the year school projects. Katie had to do a state project and of course she chose Washington. Part of their project was to put a "state float" together that they walked around to the other classrooms and showed off. Then she had to present her state to the class and talk about it. She did a great job doing all the research for it and I would say did at least 60% of the float. She made all the mountains and painted them as well as cutting out all of the flags and picking out all the items at the hobby store that she wanted to put on it.
Matthew is wrapping up his Kindergarten year in amazing fashion, he loves to read, and is doing great on his spelling words that they just introduced a few weeks ago as well as his math fact that are moving into a 1st grade level. We are so proud of how he has matured academically and socially this year, even with those few yellow and red days but for the most part we have great "stayed on green and finished my seat work" days. Our little Emma is finishing preschool/beginners program and will be heading into Pre-Kindergarten next year. She loves to write her name and is doing incredible knowing all her colors, numbers, shapes and just how her overall verbal skills have developed. Thankfully for all of us her teacher next year had Matthew so she will be prepared for the girl version of him.
A picture is a 1000 words right???
As we move into Summer for the most part we will live in the pool. Heck when it's over 100 degrees everyday its the best place to be. Katie will have swim team practice daily, and then everyone will do swimming lessons daily. This summer Katie is attending a week long swim camp put on by the ASU swim coaches with her big cousin from Bellingham Sophie, we are all so excited to have Sophie visiting us for a week this summer.
So that pretty much brings up to date on the happenings of the 3 Wallen kids. As you can see we are still a crazy busy bunch but having a good time while we are doing it! So with that I don't know what tomorrow will bring but I do know that there is a plan that I will only be given insight to when I wake in the morning... so until tomorrow and the blessings it brings.
