spring training


Ben continued with karate through the school year.  He earned enough tickets to "buy" a pair of nunchucks.  First he had to get some instructions on how to use them.  His karate school put on an exhibition at LBCC.  Ben's class got to demonstrate some of what they've been learning.  You can see Ben in the front left- he wasn't shy at all about showing his moves to the crowd.

His pre-K teacher noticed that boldness too, and he got to be Noah in his class play of Noah's Ark.  He had several lines and memorized all of them, and spoke them clearly.  He was able to save, once again, all the animals on his ark.

Owen still is cruising on his bike- he and Richard have been going out on riding adventures.  Richard took his cub scouts on a bike ride around Corvallis and stopped to play at Sunset Park.

Ben began Little League this year, his first time trying t-ball.  His team was the Rockies, a mix of talent and experience, but all super cute.  Ben got to be #12 because he was the tallest on the team.  #1 was a full head shorter.  The kids get new field positions each game but most of the fielding happens at first base- the rest of the positions need to stretch their attention spans to keep in the game.    Ben had a blast at practices and at the game. He loved hitting and mostly enjoyed fielding and got to learn a lot more about the game.
