Last Game and Out of Town Guests

I found this picture on my latest picture download - here is the picture of the cake my kids made me for my birthday - they kept saying there are so many candles on your cake!!
Elizabeth had her last t ball game a couple of weeks ago. She had the best coach, it was obvious he loved coaching and he was so patient. She had such a great time and learned a lot.

I told her I wanted her picture - I love her pose :)





Elizabeth did such a great job and really participated. We were very proud of her.
We had Tom's roommate from college ( he was also one of his groomsmen), Matt, come for a weekend visit along with his wife, Jessica, and his daughter, Anna. Anna wasn't feeling great for their visit so I didn't get too many pictures of her. She was adorable!
On Saturday we took them to the science museum.
Anna was busy taking care of the babies.

There's Matt, tricking the height machine.
It was a very hot day so we spent a little time out in the water spray area.
There's Matt and his wife, Jessica.
That's the best front shot I got of Anna - she's so cute!

Elizabeth hanging out on the tortoise - usually it's Ben I catch here.

We love this camera thing they have in the doctor area.

They changed some of the activities throughout the museum so the kids enjoyed trying them. This was a tornado simulation.
We got to stand inside a giant prism - it was so cool!!
The kids took turns on this spinning stand - they learned how to spin faster and slower by moving their mass around.

We spun this around fast to make the water curve up.
Practicing our hula hoop skills (of which I have none!)
We had a great time with Matt and his family - we are hoping we can do it again soon!

On Monday we had our old neighborhood playgroup at our house. I got out my camera to take pictures of the kids playing in a marching band. They were so funny! Each kid had an instrument and were marching around the house.

I forgot to post that I finished painting that wall - but there it is on the left. I finally finished!!
It was a great play date!
