Dance Recital

The girls had their dance recital on June 29. Grandma came down to watch it and Dede came too. They both took Lyrical Dance but different classes.

The girls dance in the daddy daughter dance with Mike. They also danced in the finale dance with everyone. It was quite an exciting night. Afterwards we went to eat at Applebees. Yum!!

Mike was out of town for our anniversary so the kids and I went bowling to celebrate.

Afterwards we went to Walmart to get Jaileigh and Annie's fake nails that they earned for good behavior. 

This kid! He wore his swimsuit for 4.5 days in a row before he decided it was time to change it. 

Mike jumping the fence with the girls. I can't remember why but it was sure funny. 

Mike got this bull for Father's Day from Jaileigh. Not sure if he really enjoys it but the kids sure do.

Jake got Player of the Game from the Umpire for his walk off win. He was so excited because his dad never acknowledges individuals. 

Reading away.

My camera fell out of the car and the UV protector broke. I couldn't get it off. I called my friend Kevin and he got it off with a special tool. Thank goodness it saved my camera lens!

Goofy kid!

World Series

World Series games. The Aces went further than I expected them to go in the World Series. They seemed to like to start the game losing and end it winning. Losing seemed to motivate them to play better I guess. It was a fun week with the team. We played at 3 different BLD's. The opening ceremonies was at the one local to us in Perris. Our first game was in Jurupa Valley Bld, then we played in Chino Hills and then back to Jurupa Valley. Our local one was definitely the nicest one! At the BLD's you have to pay to get in, $10 for adults and $7 for kids. You can't bring anything in to eat or drink and they search your bags, including all baseball equipment bags. It's sad that they are all about the money making. They have different fields from around the country. At the Chino Hills BLD they had a Wrigley field complete with the "Ivy Wall" that was made out of bushes.

Michael and AJ have a special relationship. 2nd base and shortstop better like each other I guess.

Anthony was called safe on a steal and then the call was changed. He refused to move off of his base. 

A little dugout fun

Michael

He swings so hard that sometimes he falls.

Jakey D 

In two games he won the game for us. We would be down by one or two and he would hit in the running runs ending the game. He is such a stud!

End of the series for us. Glad we can smile!

Jake is so difficult to get to smile! I have to take at least 20 pictures before I get a good one of him.
