Mary Cathryn was our perfect playdate this week....MK loved being the one in charge and she kept these two little ones in step as they played house and Barbies.

 Pryce finished out his baseball season last week with a tie ballgame.

 They were trailing by 3 when all of a sudden Pryce made a double play for two outs.....

 and then turned around to bat and hit another double hit and eventually made his way across home plate one last time.

 On field, you could see a lot of this - the coaches doing their job, giving the children an earful on what to be ready for next.

 All in all, it was a great reason to celebrate after the game at one of our favorites, Brusters!

 Our week ended with two surprises....one, we visited my niece at her school and surprised her during lunch....two, then we left and went to visit my grandmother for the afternoon.  She was so happy to see all of us!

 Sweet Ellison....how fast time flies!  Ellison is our great-niece and we were lucky to spend some time with her over the weekend too!  

 Barbie bikes and boys....what in the world?!  MK is determined to ride her bike without training wheels so we took them off while visiting Ryan's parents.  Both boys took it upon themselves to give the Barbie bike a little cruise around the driveway and it was hard to pull them away....

I read the above statement on another blog and LOVED it.  So.very.true.
