BASEBALL

Kye played his fourth year of baseball this year. Although the regular season was not the best, they won fourth place in the end of the year tournament!!! Talk about peaking at the right time....


First base and shortstop are his favorite positions. He also played a little bit of catcher this year!
Little brother was great as long as he had enough snacks to keep him busy....Kris can't wait to start playing next year himself.

SSSSSLLLLEEEEEEEEEPPPPP

Kris has been working through some sleep issues this summer. One night during dinner, he could barely keep his eyes open.




Poor kiddo did not make it through dinner.

Water, water, water

I used to work for a water park here in town. It was owned by some brothers in Arizona. They shut it down because they decided that it never really got hot enough here in Kansas to make a water park worthwhile. Obviously they have never visited Kansas in June, July, and August. We spend most of our summer in water of some kind. This little pool has been the best $17 we've ever spent. Not sure if it will make it another summer, we'll see!!


Kye likes to pretend that the raft is a "bucking broncho." It creates quite the waves once he gets it going!






Spending time on the lake is also another pastime we have in the summer. This summer, we along with GG and Baba bought Big Mable....She's pretty impressive and Kye is getting really brave on her. One trip this summer he rode all by himself!


Very rarely do we make it back to the dock without losing at least one, this day it was BOTH!

The rest of May

Kye had a talent show at Tomahawk and decided that he was going to showcase his jumping skills! We were very proud of him for getting up in front of the entire school!!


Olathe East has a pond and every once in awhile Dave and the boys spend an afternoon fishing. The pond is stocked regularly so it's a lot of fun for the boys!!

















After three years with La La, it is time for Kris to move on to preschool next fall. It was a hard day, I think they both cried off and on most of the day. We can never thank La La enough for loving Kris as if he were her own and providing him with such a caring environment. We'll miss you La La!!!















The Schmale family held a reunion on Memorial Day so we made the trip back to Clay Center. Uncle Al and Aunt Heather were able to be there too!
