Props to B-train

Poor Brandon has not had a lot of face time on the blog lately.

So, this post is all for him.

Here's what my good lookin' boy has been up to.

1. Baseball. He has had a fun season. He has done well and learned some things, even though his team is something like 3-6. I love watching him play.

He can be very intense.
(Or is that look just cause he didn't wear his glasses?)

He takes the game seriously.
Check out his expression and his flexedhand.

He gets upset when his team loses.
(Where in the world did he get that competitive spirit?)

He plays hard and hustles.

He's had some good hits.

And his coach even gave him the
game ball after one of his best games.

But then I'll catch him out on the field shaking
his booty in the middle of an inning.
I love this kid.

2. End of the year party at school

His teacher, Ms. Klauck, gave him an award for being
the Accelerated Reader(AR) Guru for the year.
(AR is a program where you can read books and
then takes tests on the computer about them to
earn points. Again, that competitive streak kicks in.)

They played some fun games outside.

How low can he go?
Whitney, Caroline, and I were happy to be with
him during this fun day at school. He had some ups
and downs in 2nd grade, but he did great
academically and we are so proud of him.

3. Last day of school! Hooray and huzzah!

I wanted to do something special for him, so

we got all these balloons and made some little
posters and waited for him in the bonus room.

His initial reaction was priceless.

Then he proceeded to run around the room using
the balloons as punching bags. What did I expect?

We are SO ready for summer break and then on to third grade! His last baseball game is tomorrow and he and Andrew are working on a highlight video that we'll post when they're done. We love you, Brandon Trey!
