Imagination Movers

The boys love to watch Disney Jr., and one of their favorite shows is Imagination Movers.  Luke really loves the Movers, so when we got the chance to see them in concert again this year, we jumped.  Yes, we jumped.  The Movers just might be the coolest kid concert you can attend.  The band "gets" that the parents have to bear this, so they throw a few songs in just for us, which keeps it entertaining.  The Del Vecchios joined us again this year, and the boys had a dance party in the aisle.  Too fun!

Break dancing in the aisle

Luke loves to sing Imagination Movers songs at home, and his favorite is the theme song.  Here's a sample!

Go Reds!

Jack played T-ball this Spring in the Pony league.  He liked being with his friends, Daniel and Joseph, but we don't think he ever really cared about the T-ball.  During one game, the coach put him on 2nd base, but Jack decided he'd rather be at 3rd with Daniel.  Oops.  To remedy this, the coach started drawing a circle around Jack and telling him to stay in his circle.  When the coach would forget to draw the circle, Jack would draw his own circle around himself.  The only problem was that Jack took the whole "stay in your circle" commandment very literally, and as a result, wouldn't run for the ball.  During one game, it went between his legs and he just watched it roll through.  When we told him it was ok to run after the ball and reassured him that the coach wouldn't be mad, it was like a revelation!  Well, he still enjoyed the season and loved hanging out with his friends.  Not sure if T-ball is in his future, but if he decides to pursue it, we'll be in the stands cheering him on!

Luke wanted to play so badly!

Jack ran into his buddy, Nathan, who played on the Dodgers.

Catcher was NOT Jack's favorite position.  The catcher's uniform was wearing him, rather than the other way around.

Ice Climbing 2011

Nick took his annual trip to Ouray, Colorado to go ice climbing.  The pictures are pretty amazing.  Our rule is that he has to return in the same condition he left home in.  Some years are more successful than others...This year, a split lip from falling ice led to a trip to a local clinic to have Nick's lip glued back together.  I'm just thankful that the injury wasn't worse...but he loves these trips, and by the looks of it, he had a great time.  I'm so excited that he comes home, in more or less one piece, tomorrow!

Play Ball!

The boys headed to the park for a little Tball time with the Bird family.  Jack and his buddy Ian will be starting playing on Tball teams this Spring, so this was a good opportunity to learn some of the basics from their Dads.  The boys were pretty talented!  Jack has a great swing, and Ian did a good job playing short stop.  Luke and Lana had fun hanging out and cheering for everyone.
