She loved going everyday for an hour all week. She would chant the new cheer she learned on our drive home. On Friday, she performed all of the cheers in front of family and friends. Now, she is all set to cheer her big brother in his baseball and football games. Go DRAGONS!!<br />

After a couple of errands, we took the kids to cool off at a nearby splash pad. The girls had a refreshing time together and hopefully we'll be able to do it again this summer.<br />

Andrew, Ruth and I were able to make a quick trip back home to have lunch with her and shower her with a couple gifts. Grandma is a strong woman, who still lives independently at her home and looks AMAZING for 95. She was just tickled that several of her grandchildren and great children were able to be there too. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Johnston Pride</b></span></div>
<br />
State was held last weekend. Double elimination means there would be lot of games. The tournament started Friday night...played two, WON, making them seeded 2nd out of 23 team in pool play. Played two more on Saturday...WON. Then on Sunday they lost the first game. But that didn't stop the girls at all. Four games later that afternoon, they were in the championship playing the team that beat them the first of the day. But, the team from the Quad Cities was strong as ever and won. Overall, Johnston Pride parents, coaches, and girls were elated with 2nd place. All season the girls have been playing against 12U girls and finally they played against girls their own size and ability. They looked awesome on the field and played their best. Clare was on fire at the plate, hitting over 500. <br />

It was a fun tournament with a Hawaiian theme. Us moms spent several evenings discussing what was needed for the trip to KC. The girls needed some Hawaiian attire and a dugout contest was involved too.<br />
<br />
Before games on Saturday, we took the girls to Legends, which is a shopping area and restaurants. We wanted to keep the girls inside since is was so blasted hot out. The girls played a bunch of games at Dave and Busters, ate lunch and did a little shopping too before it was game time.<br />

It was a fun get-away for Clare and I. Her teammates enjoyed hanging out all weekend, playing the game they all love despite losing all of their games. The competition were veteran 12U players. </div>

At first she was excited about it being loose but then quickly avoided any biting from the front teeth, didn't wiggle it much and it seemed to take FOREVER for it to fall out.<br />
<br />
Then on May 10 at 3:00 or so in the morning, Ruth came into my room and woke me up saying, "My tooth came out." She was all calm, and we headed to the bathroom. It was ready to come out as there wasn't any blood and in a day the permanent tooth was visible. <br />

Each student selects 2 pieces of art to display and their clay creation is showcased. Now that the end of the of the year is near, all of their artwork is home in a portfolio. I take pictures of most of their items and keep only one or two. It's hard to keep EVERYTHING. <br />
<br />
This is Clare's last Art Night since she will be moving on to middle school next year. Her 6 years are done at TR. <br />

With the kids getting older, it is tricky to plan a day to celebrate the kids' birthdays. Today, being Memorial Day, we were able to celebrate Olivia turning 17 and Ruth turning 7. My nephew said at the party, "I remember when Ruth was born. That seems like yesterday." Yeah, it does! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We had a cookout, some yard games for the kids, friends and family over to celebrate our girls. It was a beautiful, sunny, warm day. </div>

This is her first season with Pride. The majority of the girls are in 6th grade and few 5th graders like Clare. What will be great with this team is that they will be able to stay together for another year or more. In past, new teams have been created in August. Since Phil and I decided last summer to leave the Johnston Association, this team will be able to stay together as long as there are girls wanting to be on the team or once school softball starts for them in 8th grade. <br />
<br />
Here are a bunch of photos I've taken during the various tournaments her team has been in.<br />

We are celebrating Easter with my side of the family today. With the family all together, a birthday boy will be turning 12 in April so we'll end with some yummy birthday cake.<br />
<br />
I think my kids will be on a sugar high from all of the candy goodies and sweets we'll be having today.<br />

Off to Maryville to celebrate Christmas with Phil's side of the family. It was a special Christmas because this is the first Christmas for Baby Michael Damien. He was born November 23.<br />

In 5th grade, students in Johnston have classes during guidance class called 411 or known as DARE.

Olivia went to homecoming with a group of friends. She was looking forward to this night and getting all dolled up. After pictures they went to eat at P.F. Chang's and then headed to the dance. She LOVED it all and then spent the night at one of the girl's house. She stayed up WAY too late, but had a blast.<br />

I signed Ruth to participate in a week long cheer camp through the school. After 4 practices, it was showtime during the 9th grade football game, which Andrew was playing in. Ruth had so much fun learning the different cheers and can still recite them.<b> </b></div>

<b>Freshman Football</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> </b>Andrew had a blast this year playing football. He was injured for about a month but came back into his spot, quarterback, for the remainder of the season. When it was playoffs for varsity, a few freshman were asked to suit up, come to the practices and games. He thought this was awesome. Since then, Andrew has been lifting weights with the football team. This helps him stay in shape while not in a sport in the winter season.</div>

Clare is now playing on the Johnston Pride. With a little controversy with breaking away from Johnston Girls softball club team, several parents were ready to make their own team. Now, Clare will be with the same group of girls for the next few years and have a consistent coach too. <br />

Hard to believe 6 months has even passed. My last post was on Andrew's baseball but that is where I'm going to pick up. I'll share a few of my favorite pictures from Andrew's baseball, which was a BIG deal and an awesome experience for him and our family.<br />
<br />
Andrew's All-Star Team won State, which advanced his team to represent Iowa at Regionals in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Fast forward 7 games in Indiana and his team once again, won and were Central Region Champions. Then immediately the team drove to Taylor, Michigan to play in the Junior League World Series. Andrew's dream had come true. This experience is hard to describe, just had to be there. The boys were treated like royalty. They met so many boys from all over the US and world too. It was the neatest experience for everyone and so, so many memories too. It was the most fun 2 weeks of our lives.<br />

Andrew's team played excellent but ended up in second place in the US. Pretty darn awesome. Their last game was on Saturday, Aug. 22, against Puerto Rico and then quickly drove home to be ready for school on Monday.<br />
<br />
But it didn't end there. Once they returned home, there was a Welcome Home Rally for the team and the boys were invited to say the Pledge of Allegiance at the City Council meeting.<br />

The game was delayed to play at 7:00 since a heatwave has hit the state the past few days with temps feeling in the 100's.

Next year he will be playing baseball in high school, so no more Little League. Can you hear a sob? He has been playing LL for the past 9 years, where has the time gone?<br />
<br />
Last week was pool play. Andrew played against his cousin's team. Kip even pitched to Andrew while at bat. It was hard for them to stay focused and be serious in the game. Unfortunately, Andrew hit a home run off of him. <br />

Bracket play started today. It was a scorcher of a day... heat index of 106. Good thing there were a lot of trees for shade but after 2 hours, Ruth was ready to go home. Johnston beat Ankeny 9-3. They'll play again tomorrow. Whoever wins tomorrows game will be the District Champs and move on to playing at State. <br />

Not only do we celebrate our America's birthday but we come together to celebrate my grandpa's birthday too. August 2013, my grandpa passed away. With this holiday being a tradition of getting together, my family likes to have a cookout and getting a bunch of fireworks to let off in memory of him. Here are some pictures to recap our time together.<br />

This parade is popular for many locals and hard to get a spot. Luckily the night before I put out a blanket on the curb to save a place for us. I'm not the only crazy one who does this. The whole street is lined up with blankets and chairs the day before the parade. Fifteen minutes before the parade, Phil dropped us off and our spot was empty, just waiting for us to arrive. <br />

Here's to another Urbandale July 4th Parade down in the books.

Phil's brother Danny and family stopped over for the day for the kids to play and also to have lunch. It just so happened that their cousin Jill and family just moved to Des Moines area the day before. We invited them over for lunch and to have a little mini reunion. We met Jill's children for the first time and all of the cousins had fun playing and being together. We last saw Jill in April while interviewing for a job but Danny on the other hand, hasn't seen Jill in years. Now, with Jill living closer, hopefully we won't go years without seeing each other. <br />

It was like a mini-vacation, watched some baseball, I saw some friends from my college days, ate out several times, and I only had Ruth me, which was so easy! We also visited with Phil's Uncle Mark. Actually, Ruth and I stayed with him while Phil and Andrew stayed at the hotel. Here are a few pictures from our weekend.<br />

Since Phil and I drove over to CR separately, I took this time to visit my cooperating teacher from student teaching, Michelle. I know I've seen her once since I left her classroom, but it had been about 15 years. We've kept in touch after all of these years with our Christmas cards. We'd both say we'd visit but it just never happened. She is still teaching in the same school, same grade, and lives in the same home I remembered. Ruth had fun playing with her grandson, playing with some Barbies, and riding in the Gator around her property, which is the county side. Michelle and I had a great visit, and am so glad I stopped by.<br />

Ruthie turned 6 on June 3rd. It doesn't seem possible that our "baby" is 6. Thinking back 6 years ago, school just let out for me, I was on day 1 of summer vacation, had a doctor appt. and planting flowers in the afternoon. I felt some tightness across by belly but just kept on working. As the evening progressed, by 10:30 pm we decided to take the older 3 kids to my brothers to stay the night. By the time we drove to the hospital and checked in, I had Ruth Margaret by 3 pm.<br />
<br />
Ruth had her first little friend birthday party and she didn't have to share it with her big sister Olivia either. But first she opened her gifts from us and her grandparents.<br />

Ruth was so excited for her birthday party. However, she didn't like waiting all day to see her friends. She invited 5 of her friends to come celebrate her birthday. Ruth had never made a Build-A-Bear, even though we have several in our home already. I thought it would be fun for her to have a party there. All of the parties she had been invited to over the year had been very girly and dress-up like, so I was wanting something different. <br />

After Build-A-Bear, Ruth was still celebrating her b-day. Aunt Sara and cousins had to come over before the day ended to give Ruth her gift. What a LATE night we all had celebrating Ruth's 6th birthday. It was sure a birthday to remember too.<br />
