Baseball is in full swing

This spring all three girls wanted to do baseball. Madalyn and Morgan were old enough for machine pitch and Natalie was on the T Ball team. It's was so fun to see each one of the girls improve over the season. We bought a pitching machine and the girls have been able to practice at home. They have loved playing baseball at home as a family.

Madalyn 3rd grade. Favorite position 1st base. 

 

Natalie kindergarten. Favorite position 1st base

 

Morgan 2nd grade. Favorite position pitcher.

I got to coach the big girls machine pitch team this year with Lisa Benites. It was a fun year. Our team did great we even went to the championship game. We were the Mesa Mariners.

Madalyn's least favorite place to play.

I loved watching Natalie play ball, she was just the cutest little girl out on the field. She loved to play a base. As soon as the ball was hit she would run to her base put her foot on the base, with mitt up and ready for someone the throw her the ball. After the play was over she would talk to the runner that was on her base. She was a social butterfly.

Nice hit Natalie!!!Libby Davis was her coach. She looked forward to the  end of the game treats

With mom coaching Brooklyn got to run wild.
There was not a game that we went to when Brooklyn came home clean. She got in the mud at every game.

Natalie's 6 years old.

Tucannon

 Our fishing trip this year to Tucannon was a success. We went with 2 other families, Brain Lloyd and Shawn Salisbury. In total the 3 families caught 100 fish, in a 2 hours time. Now that's my kind of fishin, just wish they were a little bigger.

 Morgan got pretty good at casting her pole. We were really lucky, not to many people there this weekend. I was very surprised with it being mothers day weekend.

Madalyn waiting patiently for a fish to bite. A few times we had fish on all 3 poles at once, what fun that was.

 Natalie was not to interested in holding the pole, she found it more fun to find treasures that the past fisher men had left behind, and play with the already caught fish.

 Brooklyn was in heaven, she loved rilling the fish in.  She even waited for one to bite and then rilled it in on her own. We didn't even know she had one on until it was to the bank. Plus we had packed lots of treats, she loves treats.

 When we were eating our lunch I stepped on a bug and killed it Natalie said " Don't do that mom, it's Mother Nature".  What a fun day exploring Mother Nature.

Geocaching

Tri Cities Geocaching: A High-Tech Treasure Hunt and the Jenks Family is on the Hunt.
What a fun Saturday activity dad had planned for the family. We set off for Columbia Point Park in Kennewick, we made 4 stops along the way into town and found a few locations where things were hidden.

 Once we got to the park we all got on bikes and rode around finding about 7 more spots in the park where people had hidden boxes, the kids loved it. It was a giant Easter egg hunt

While we were at the park a clown was making animals out of balloons for free, it added a but plus to the day. Also they were doing free train rides around the park. What fun!!! We then headed to Red Robin for the 3 May birthdays Meals. Morgan and Natalie loved being sang to.

 

Weather this month has been amazing, we have broken many records for hot weather in May. We even hit 95 today, that is unheard of. We love it. We start cutting hay this week so it will most likey rain and get cold.

Learning to ride her bike

 After two days of practicing Brooklyn learned how to ride her bike. She was so excited she rode all by herself down to Grandma McGary's house to show her.

Natalie has moved up in bike size, she now gets Morgan's old bike.

Crazy Hair day at school

Easter Morning

Looking for our baskets.
8:30 church on a Fast Sunday is a killer for both Mom and Kids. Brooklyn found her basket in the play kitchen, Natalie's was under the table cloth, Morgan's under the cereal, and Madalyn's in the laundry closet. It took the two big girls a long time to find theirs.

They each got 2 shorts outfits, swim suit, light sticks, fun notebooks, Easter candy.

How fun, look at all that Easter candy.

New Dresses before church.  

 Madalyn 9 is starting to look and dress more like a pre teen. She no longer wants matching dresses, going for a more grown up look.

My little  Fashion Butter Cup Natalie 5.

 Strong minded Brooklyn 2.

Sweet tooth Morgan 7.

 We are so blessed this year for a warm Easter to spend time with Family. We are so grateful for the gospel to know he has risen and we to can return and live as a Forever Family. He LIVES!!!

 Work it Brookie!!!

Jenks, McGary Egg Hunts

Saturday was the Jenks Family Easter Egg Hunt this year Grandma Jenks was in charge and it was at her house. What a fun Egg hunt she put on for the kids. They were very much spoiled with the candy and small toys she had for each kid.

 Brooklyn found one of the silver eggs with $6 in it. The big girls were mad she found it.

Sunday we enjoyed a BBQ with the McGary's and Eppich's. After we ate the kids did the annual Egg hunt.
