We had a blast helping kids with special needs play baseball on Saturday. It was a new opportunity for many of us. Even Dylan had a blast and met a new friend in the process. It was a very hot day, but so rewarding for us all.

The First Game

2009-06-14T16:28:00.000-07:00

The first game was with a group of older kids and adults. Many were college age or even older. They were so excited to have us out there as their buddies. It was amazing watching their excitement about playing the game and talking with us.

The Second Game

2009-06-14T16:20:00.000-07:00

The second game was with little kids ages 6-12. Dylan had a blast with the younger ones. He loved the little girl we were buddies with. These kids had a blast playing the game, and loved having us around to play with them.

Friday Night at Axis

2009-01-24T22:34:00.000-08:00

We had a great time Friday night at the Axis building. We played pool, ping pong, air hockey, and the Wii during the first part of the night. Those brave (or crazy) souls who dared to play the Wii kept everyone in the room laughing. Then we finished the night off by playing Mad Gab. Now that was funny! It sounded like a bunch of people who needed some speech lessons. Michael kept us rolling with his funny accents, and Bonnie made the other team mad when she kept getting all the answers.

There's nothing funnier than watching someone make a fool of themselves as they play the Wii!

Christmas Party

2008-12-23T05:53:00.000-08:00

The Christmas party at Sarah's house was a lot of fun. We ate good food (prepared by Sarah and Donald) and played some fun games. Also, everyone brought a gag gift to exchange. The hideous gloves that Dylan and I brought were a hit. It was so funny watching Bonnie's face as she opened that one. Dylan still refers to them as "the yuckie gloves."

Gag Gifts

2008-12-22T06:00:00.000-08:00

Now here's the gag gift that keeps on giving! He'll pee on you, throw up on you, and get boogers all over you. The best part is that you'll never know exactly when one is going to happen. There's a new surprise every day!

Dylan was laughing his head off as Bonnie was opening this gift. She kept saying she was scared to open it. The face she's making after seeing what was inside shows her true appreciationg for the gift.

Bowling

2008-10-23T08:10:00.000-07:00

We had a great time bowling last Saturday night. Sarah got the highest score for the girls. I'm not sure who won for the guys. Philip wouldn't let me see. Apparently he wasn't the champion. LOL!

The kids enjoyed their lane too. Dylan had a blast, especially since Laken was helping him. He gave her a hug every time he bowled.

Dylan helped Michael and John get strikes when he cheered them on. However, his "good luck power" didn't work at all for the girls!

I'll post the bowling pics later--as soon as I get more batteries for my camera.

Hey! This looks like cheating. You can't run down the lane!!!!

2008-10-22T12:24:00.000-07:00

The guys are thinking, "Why can't we bowl like the girls? They are so good! Hmmm...I know! We won't let them see our scores. Then they'll never know they beat us."

Laken is telling Dylan to forget about what John told him. She will show him how to bowl like a real champ!

A Srike for John!

Bowling Laken

2008-10-22T09:00:00.000-07:00

You're supposed to use a bowling ball, not Laken!!!!!

2008-10-21T08:22:00.000-07:00

Looks like Philip is trying to give Donald some last minute advice before he bowls. Will he make a strike this time?

Beach Trip

2008-08-29T20:42:00.000-07:00

We had a great time on our beach trip to Destin. Lots of laughs and lots of fun. The water was great until the jellyfish decided to invade. Poor Laken had to experience the wrath of one of the jellyfish. Dylan entertained everyone and also stirred up some commotion when he decided to lock us out of rooms. Jenny and Caroline had a terrifying experience with a jet ski on the last day. Over all it was a great trip and the perfect way to end the summer.

There were so many jellyfish the last few days that people were filling buckets full of them.

After the Jellyfish invaded the beach, everyone went to the pool!

The Excitement Never Ends When Dylan is Around!

2008-08-18T09:25:00.000-07:00

While we were all watching a movie one afternoon, Dylan decided to lock the door to Jenny and Bonnie's room. We tried everything we could to get the door unlocked, but nothing worked. Finally we had to take the door knob off! It took us forever to figure out how to get it back on, but we did it! With NO help from the man, I might add! Girls rule!

Looks like Jenny is being attacked by a Dylan!

How many girls does it take to cook something edible?

Happy Birthday Jenny!!! She's finally 21! LOL!

Elizabeth and Dylan had so much fun playing bumper boats

Bonnie so happy about her kids meal!

Just Us Girls

2008-08-14T16:04:00.000-07:00

This was suppose to be a pic of all the girls on the trip. Sarah and Laken missed out because they ran back to the beach house during that time. Also, Dylan kept insisting on being part of the picture too. I was pointing for him to move out of the way, but he wouldn't listen.

2008-08-14T15:56:00.000-07:00

Bonnie, Jenny and Donald were gossipping about something. Dylan was trying to listen in, so he could come back and tell me what they were saying. LOL!

Aaron, Dylan and Thomas had lots of fun playing in the sand and the water.

Saturday Night Fun!

2008-07-29T09:05:00.000-07:00

We all had a blast playing games at Sarah's house on Saturday night. We've learned that if you have Bonnie on your team, you will always win. Our first game of the night was Buzz Word. We played girls against boys and the girls won. Of course, Bonnie answered 95% of the questions! We played several rounds of Spoons after that, then most of the group went upstairs and played Ping Pong. By midnight we were all worn out and ready to go home.

Playing Spoons

2008-07-29T08:14:00.000-07:00

After the girls (or should I say Bonnie) won the first game of the night, we decided to play spoons. We played several rounds of this game. Philip and Kelly won the most games.

Spoons

2008-07-29T08:00:00.000-07:00

Philip was the champ of Spoons for awhile until Kelly came in and knocked his perfect "strategy" out the window! The game got a little rowdy at times. We even a few hand injuries during the game fighting over the last spoon, but it was all in good fun.

Who Will Win?

2008-07-28T15:09:00.000-07:00

It was down to the last spoon and everyone waited in anticipation to see who the champion would be. Would Philip's genius strategy work for him this time or would Donald be the champ?

Philip won again! Could his strategy actually work? Nah! He just got lucky!

Boys and Their Toys!

Here's proof that men never grow up!

Optimistic

2008-07-27T15:32:00.000-07:00

He's confident he will win this one.

Sore Loser?

2008-07-27T15:29:00.000-07:00

Poor John! He never wins a game.

Aren't They Cute?

2008-07-27T14:25:00.000-07:00

Dylan had the best time playing with "Toria."

It's Way Past Bonnie's Bedtime!

Poor Bonnie! We always keep her up way too late.
