First Tennis Lesson!

Blake just completed his first tennis lessons! Overall... a good experience. When Blake decided to stand in line and take a turn, he would hit the ball! It was fun to see him hold his racket and get excited about hitting the ball. Not fun when he would walk off the court because he was "done" standing in line or waiting his turn.... agh!!! Strong willed, he is! I think we will have another go at it next summer. :)

Visit from Grandma Chew-chew and Uncle Steven

We had a fun visit with Grandma and Uncle Steven the week after Blake's birthday! Berry picking, playing in the sand at the beach, playing at the park and much more. Thanks for a great time!

3rd Birthday Celebration!

Blake had a fabulous Lighting McQueen Birthday Party on July 4th! His friends, Gabe, John, Baby Ian, Avery, Miles and Lila, came to help celebrate. Auntie Quinn, Auntie Cheri, Papa and Grandma Ballard were there and were a huge help with all the party details. The party was held in the pavilion behind our house... we had a kiddie pool, McQueen Ball Pit, bubbles, sidewalk chalk, delicious lunch and finished up with a Lighting McQueen birthday cake. Ka-Chow!!
