Our little cat in the little red hen

JT's kindergarten class put on a musical production of The Little Red Hen. Mr B was glad to help by donating and setting up the lighting and focusing the school's existing equipment. JT was offered the role of the sneaky sly fox but his shyness (SHY?! JT?! I know, you don't believe me) over took and he happily supported in the storyteller's chorus as a cat reciting the finishing line to the play.

He had LOTS of support present and luckily I got a front and center seat since I filmed for his teacher! Nice!

Play Ball!

Take Me out to the ballgame...

JT is playing for the Rookie Twins this year. Mr B is helping Coach and Mrs B is somehow Team Mom. One of these days, I'm gonna learn about that word "No"... I seem to do fine when it comes to my 6 and 2 year olds haha.






We've got a great team. Rookie Division plays non competitively, hitting off a pitching machine and learning about getting out and getting others out. Even though we don't keep score yet we still want them to learn. That running the bases is left in T-ball. Run fast and through first base or take your seat and cheer for the rest of your team.
There was an official pancake breakfast opening ceremony and a parade. Our Twins walked behind their AWESOME CUSTOM banner designed by the ever talented Frosties and printed by out great business associates and friends at Sew What? Inc. We're SO glad to have such amazing people in our lives that are willing to donate their time, talents and resources. BIG THANK YOU!

With the ceremony at 9 and our first game not until 3, we all took a break and came back for our first game agains the White Sox. The boys hit hard and played SO well, we were incredibly impressed and proud. They did a great job cheering for each other and I kept our bench very neat! I even got the boys to put all of their empty bottles and trash in a basket that I bring so we don't "leave our junk on the earth" lol. They're such a great bunch. JT was amazing. He and all the other Twins kept sliding at home. Whoever decided that white was a great color for baseball pants was obviously not a Mom. Hello OxyClean!

Needless to say, we're proud to be Twins Fans (This Season Anyway) and Super Proud fans of JT!

Gracie Academy, his 2nd stripe.

JT has been learning JiuJitsu at the Gracie Academy in Torrance for a while. He loves it so much. It's kind of his Dad and Unk thing. He goes twice a week and comes home wiped out every time. He just received his second stripe, marking 40 classes. He's recognized in front of the class and then gets to help kick the dodge balls that they play with at the end.

JT loves coming home and practicing his moves on his Unk and Dad. I love the emphasis on character that they teach. Every six weeks they host a game day and in order to attend, you have to accumulate points. Depending on the attribute they are focusing on, you can earn points by doing different good deeds, completing tasks without being told and so on. This last section was on RESPONSIBILITY, JT earned the most points of all the students! He was the responsibility champ and got a big patch for the back of his Gi. He was so excited and we are really proud!
