Apple Blossom Week

DeA and I took a day to visit the temple. It was wonderful, as it always is, and we had a nice sunny post-visit selfie.

Does she look annoyed that I'm kissing her forehead?

Rock went flying and I was able to spot him in the sky. DeA wondered why he was so high up there.

The baby veggies are coming along nicely.

I was the MC of the pageant again (not pictured) and had more fun than DeA or Megan did. Saturday was fun with Luca wanting all the candy and kettle corn.

A guy walked down the street with a yellow boa. Javi touched it!

He would let kids wear it around their necks.

Sofia was pretty happy, as long as she got as much kettle corn as she wanted.

Ryker looked to happy to be marching.

I enjoyed looking at DeA's face even though she didn't know it.

She's a cutie.

Ryker and Rock went golfing in the afternoon. They know that they should dress up for the occasion.

I was in charge of the alumni softball game. It ended up being a mostly England/Lyman game with some random kids.

DeA and Janel thought it was hilarious.

We got Jens a net so that the guys could take full swings and try to hit jacks.

Postgame selfie!

 

Horchata is a silly cat that I think loves to tease and taunt Leo Puppy

He was very agitated and wanted to run out and play with her.

DeA made some whipped cream for strawberry shortcakes and tried to share the beaters with Rock. I guess that he was not feeling it.

We had a windy DH in Omak. It was fun, we split the two games and I got yelled at by the PA announcer, the Janels tried to fight the PA announcer and the ump, and at one point the opposing team's pitcher turned to his parents and asked if he could come hang out at Rock's house. It was quite the fiasco.

DeA earned her Sunday nap.

Sofia learned about Jell-o and was a big fan.

DeA made the mistake of picking up a farm kid while wearing a white shirt.

Rock played the last baseball game of the season in Tonasket. It was a loser-out playoff game. He went 1-2 with a single and a walk and made a few plays at 2B. It was a good season for him and even with the loss it felt like they ended on an upward trajectory.

"Is the season over yet?"

Yeah, I don't think Horcha is that scared of Leo anymore.

Magnum PR ran well, and shaved about six seconds off his 1600 time.

Miss GreenThumb is cultivating some vegetables and we have sprouts!

 

Ryker Stuff

Ryker received this cool scanner that he can use to make bobbleheads or cool busts for the garden.

Schnoogies helped him scan his own head.

Rissa took a shift to escape her duties at home which left the boys were left between rides. They walked over to the track meet where I was doing the announcing. They were not impressed and just wanted to go home.

Ryker was gifted some cool spikes to help him better be the speedy bullet.

Coach Walsh took this picture of Ryker winning his 400 heat.

He ran the 800 and did well, he PR'd but felt like he should have been faster.

He also PR'd in the high jump (not pictured) and it improving steadily. Also, Schnoogies has guns.

The Pigs

The Rusty Nail Petting Zoo picked up a pair of piglets.

Luca quickly bonded with the piglets and was fascinated by their lifestyle.

He chose to assimilate himself into their culture and belief system.

Leo really wanted to play with the pigs, but we were not sure what he would actually do with them.

Leo has found his people, his kin.

Schnoogies is pretty.

Oh yes, he knew what to do with the mud.

I have a feeling that Sofia will quickly join Luca with his new family.

The only thing that could pull Luca away from his new brethren was chocolate wacky cake for Hampa's birthday.

Ryker printed this for a girl who DeA is 99% sure is Ryker's crush. At this point, I'm really not sure what it would take for her to be 100% sure.
