Alex's and Mason's last baseball game a few weeks ago... I had to post this picture b/c this might be the only ball that Mason caught the whole year... and you can actually see it in his glove (notice closed eyes). I screamed out in excitement... even though this was during warm-ups :)
Baseball metals!
Here is Mason in the middle doing one of his final preschool performances.
... and here he is on graduation day with his best friend, Collin. Kindergarten here he comes!
A very wet kindergarten outing to the Oakland zoo... Alex and Mason are to the left of the sign.
Alex (in orange) and his buddies at the final kindergarten party at Larkey Park.
Our first visit to Daddy's work place in Castro Valley.
The kids loved his very nice office, which had not a single decoration on the wall or picture on the desk. His boss came by and asked me to help him decorate asap.
Here is the reason we went by Paul's work ... to pick up 3 tiny dwarf hamsters, named, Mac, Kintaro and piccolini, our new pets. One of his bosses had extras and we were happy to take them (sorry,mom :) )
Here is their fancy cage. Not sure who is enjoying them more, Paul and I, or the kids.
... and here is Laura Bush (Paris had to dress up as her and give an autobiographical speech in front of the class.) She looked like a 25 year old lady and, she did a great job.
Modeling their new summer outfits from Omi.
... and Paris'
Mason became obsessed with learning to jump rope a while ago. Within a day he taught himself to jump indefinitely... seriously, he can go forever. He was very proud.
One of our new favorite family outings... bike riding.

so many things about this post...i am so jealous the boys' team was the orioles and love that you screamed during practice. the hamsters are adorable. i didn't know they were dwarf hamsters and their cage is awesome! laura bush is killing me as is the jump roper.
seriously can you post more than once in a blue moon. ;) there is so much to comment on. the orioles? did you pull some strings for that to happen. love his closed eyes with catching the ball. laura bush is awesome, and are you sure all the hamsters can live together in harmony? i thought you had to separate them or they'll fight. and yes, please help Paul brighten up the place. :)
Mason looks like Michael and Jeff in the picture with Colin.
Paris looks so gorgeous and grown up and tan. Laura Bush is awesome!
I hope you have bought some plants and pictures for Paul's office.
Love the family bike rides...did you get a bike?
Can't handle that you screamed for Mason's catch and it was just warm ups.
Alex looks adorable in his uniform and proud with his metal.
Jill, funny thing was that Paul was the coach and was late for the first mtg. when uniforms were handed out... he got last pick, which were the Orioles :) Worked well for us!! Hamsters seem to be getting along fine... probably to well soon, as we might be having babies sometime in future.
I love the photo of Mason with his baseball catch - good work capturing that moment! I also love their uniforms, such a great orange color.
And I'm sorry, but with all due respect Paris looks 100 times more chic & beautiful than Laura Bush ;)
Hoping I'll get to meet the hamsters soon, and hear about Paul's office makeover?!
