Colleen was supposed to be catcher in the last inning, but the game was called early. She looks real happy, doesn't she?

Colleen's 1st T-Ball game was today and she had a really great time, especially since her Daddy (Jeff) was her coach!

The game was SOOOO hot, about 95 degrees today, so it was really hard to keep the kids motivated, but Jeff did a great job and they ended up calling the game early.

Here are a few pictures from all the fun!

Colleen had her very 1st soccer game on Saturday and she had a GREAT time!

Colleen started the game, along with three of her teammates. She loved running around, but still isn't quite sure what to do when she gets to the ball. (I think her Aunts are going to have to help out with that one!)

When Colleen wasn't on the field, she loved sitting on the sidelines, pouring water on her legs to cool them down and cheer for her team. GO STEAMERS!

Kellen did great during the game. I brought a portable DVD player so he watched that and ate snacks while Colleen played. Kellen did get into the cheers at the end of the game.

They both LOVED snack time when the game was over.

Our visit to the Firehouse!

Ryan is the very nice firefighter who gave us our tour. He was extremely nice, even when the kids didn't warm up to him at first.
In the beginning, Colleen was very shy...but you can see her come out of her shell towards the end of our visit
Look, she can almost touch the pedals
"I can drive this, no problem"
Colleen LOVED driving the trucks

Kellen's future profession?
"What happens if I turn this key?"
"I want that one for Christmas"
"I locked the keys in the truck"
"I don't need help getting up on this truck"

If you ask Colleen what she wants to be when she grows up...9 times out of 10 she will say "Fireman"

Colleen LOVES everything to do with firemen and is always asking to watch her favorite show "Fireman Sam" on PBS Sprout.

So, I asked Mr. Bill if he could arrange for a tour of the local fire station. He called up a friend who works at the Ellicott City station and got us a tour today.

The kids had a great time and Colleen loved learning about the trucks...and both kids LOVED driving the trucks.

It was a really great time - Thank you Mr. Bill!
