Mother's Day

Yesterday the boys and I walked off base to McDonalds and then the 100 yen store (which is like the dollar store). It was a beautiful day. After that we came back home and had a quite Mother's Day.

Baseball

The boys have had two baseball games so far. Last weekend Avery lost his game and Hunter won his. This past weekend Avery won his game and Hunter lost his. They are having fun. Most of the time they get walks, since the kids are learning how to pitch.

Going West

Hunter had his play last week and it was called Going West. He had a singing part and was so nervous that morning. He said his stomach hurt really bad. He did a good job.

Math Fair

Hunter had a math fair on Friday. His group did estimating. You had to estimate how many paper clips were in the jar and if you were the closes you got a certificate.

Happy Birthday Avery and Baseball

This weekend, the boys had their first baseball game. Hunter stuck out once and walked the other and got a run. His team won their game. Next week, Hunter has an away game. Avery had a hit and got a run in and then struck out. His team lost by one point. Both boys had a great time. Avery has a home game next Saturday. Also Avery had a sleep over for his birthday and had fun with his friends. Here is a picture of his Mario Cake.
