Cole has asked off and on to be taken to the BMX track and try it out. Mom finally took him and did he ever ride and ride and …ride. He found out that it’s a lot tougher ride than it looked but he did it non stop for almost an hour and a half.
Mom finally had to put a stop to his riding because she saw how tired he was even though his words were saying, “I’m not tired”. His hair and shirts were soaked from perspiration and by the time they got home he was a cranky young man. Exhaustion had taken hold and he just didn’t know what to do with him self. (Mom’s have taken note, half an hour ride at the bmx is a good amount of time)5 minute Cake in a Cup?
We tried a Cake in a Cup recipe,
all taking part in adding the ingredients and mixing.
Into the microwave for a 2 min cooking time.

It grew quite high above the rim.
LOOKS GREAT…SMELLS GREAT!!!!We are modifying the recipe because making a chocolate cake in less than five minutes sounds too good for Mom to pass up!
It will be perfected!
Porch Flowers
We didn’t make it on Mothers Day but they did finally get planted.
Both kids wanted to pick out their own flowers again and were able to do more this year getting them planted.
Now if we can get them to water once in a while.

Spent a day at the Young Belmont’s Homestead for a day of play and relaxation. Ok, the last part not so much.
Kids gave the slip n slide a whirl, it was not a super hot day nor does a well yield warm water
and then the ground was very hard. But the kids seemed to have a
good time.

Tetherball Anyone?
They planted a tetherball in their yard so we played some games.(top)First Corri and Mom gave it a whack.
Laughing became part of the game and the older we have all gotten…well pauses in movement also were required because…well…laughing to hard….enough said.
(middle)Todd smugly gave Mom the rules to play by and how the game would actually go. He was a tough opponent for sure….
(bottom left)And here Mom stands…looking at the dang ball to high to touch…game over.
(bottom right)Oma jumping did not help her with a victory.
(Mom and Oma tried to cheat but that didn’t even help)
Todd is the Master. Their…said it and don’t need to repeat it.
Mom was a tad sore the next day too.
Did we let the kids play the game?
Yes we did.
Yes we did.Great day of fun in the sun, laughing, food. Great day indeed.
Big D behind the plate!
Cousin Derian is playing baseball again and is doing really well. This game she had the chance to play catcher and did a fantastic job.
The adults talked about how she might get a little ball shy if a pitch hit her in the chest. It wasn’t a pitch but a foul ball that whacked off her facemask not long after the adult comments. She hung in there and did great, catching one more inning after her face whacking.Love Watching Baseball.
