All-Star Austin!

Well, Austin made it through regular baseball season and has now made the North Garland/Richardson city All-Star team! Last night was closing ceremonies for regular season where they received awards and announced nominations for All Star Baseball Teams. Austin received his 3 ribbons for placing first in the pitch-hit and run competitions, plus a silver medal for placing 2nd in the sectionals of the pitch-hit-run. He also received the coaches award for the best attitude for his team. Now our only dilema is seeing if he can go to Kanakuk later in the summer so he can play in more than 1 game for the All-Stars! We won't know until tomorrow when I can ask about that. He is pretty excited that he made the all-star team!

Cameron is learning to swim! He can put his head under water all the way and float on his back (with someone holding on of course). He loves to "swim" in Grammy's pool with a swim ring. He kicks all over the place by himself! This is a major improvement from last year when he was deathly afraid of the water! His t-ball is going great as well. He can really hit that ball off the T! His catching skills need a little improvement, but his throwing skills are pretty good! We may have another all-star on our hands!

We are keeping pretty busy with summer stuff. We go to the water park, movies (we absoutely LOVE the Studio Movie grill where you can order food and eat it while you watch a movie!), Dave and Busters to play games, the mall to walk and cool off and window shop, take Jake on long walks, check out the library, go to summer musicals, continue with baseball and then football will start in late July. We're going to see the musical STOMP next week. I will also be doing small projects around the house (hopefully).

Austin just completed a week of chess camp at Univ of Tx at Dallas where he placed 2nd out of the advanced class! He really enjoyed this chess camp as compared to last year's camp at a different location/school (totally different program).

Not much else to chat about so I'll sign off, let me here from you! Hope everyone is having a great summer so far!
