Goodbye soccer….hello T-ball!!

 

We decided to forego soccer this year and try out t-ball.  Here is Luke and his teammate Faith.

The weather has been beyond beautiful so we decided to take a last minute trip to the Happiest Place on Earth….

This little boy was so excited…..as evidence of the big swag of toothpaste kicking it on his shoulder.  couldn’t WAIT to get out of the house :)IMG_1380

Luke was my driver and was ready for me to put the camera away and get to the fun..IMG_1396

this made John really nervous…he didn’t love the idea of me holding my camera out while flying in a rocket….but i love this because it looks like he is enjoying the rocket all by his lonesome..  :) HA!IMG_1397

….but there is Drew… :)IMG_1399 …and that is all my pics from the trip….I listened to Luke and put my  camera away and had fun!! :)

Officially a JEDI….Luke’s life is complete :)

 

This event needed its very own post.  Luke had spotted this Jedi training on our first day at Disneyland and knew, KNEW he had to do it.  We tried to prepare him that he might not get chosen……but he was convinced that “they” would know how badly he wanted it.  The hopes were high……

We got there early and proceeded to watch Lila entertain us.IMG_1238

The big moment……”PICK ME!!!!” (oh and don’t let Drew fool you, little dude had no interest in participating)IMG_1239

VICTORY!!!  Both Luke and Jett were picked.IMG_1241

I think this was one of the biggest days of his life….IMG_1244

he was a very good student…listened closely to every instruction

IMG_1251

Jett on the other hand was DELIRIOUS with happiness. I thought Luke was excited, Jett took it to a whole new levelIMG_1252

although he did have a bit of trouble with the activation :)IMG_1255
