It's Baseball Time

I love when baseball season comes! This year it is a little more crazy than last year because Jacob and Riley are on different teams. That means practice at the same time, at different places and games at the same time at different places. It is really hard to be in 2 places at once. At least this is a small town and it only takes a couple of minutes to get from place to place and the game field are really close, there is just a parking lot between them. Jacob and 2 of his really good friends (Tanner and Coleman) getting ready for the parade.Riley and his friend Cael also getting ready.Parker and I watching the parade go by, waiting for some candy.I took all the boys home with me after the parade. It was a nice ward day and so they decided to play in the water and then lay out to dry off. They are so crazy.Then the games began. Riley had a game first. He did great.Jacob had a game a couple of nights later. He got a hit off the very first pitch. He did so good. Riley's coach took them to DQ after the game. The girl who works there is in my church class, she had a messed up cone and she held it out and asked me if I wanted it, Cole grabbed a hold of it and was not going to let it go. That was the first time he had ice cream and he sure loved it.
I love the look he was giving Riley "You better not touch this cone or you are going to die!" Haha. I love it.

Jacob's projects and awards

Jacob has been going crazy with really cool projects.

This was a project for school that he had to make out of candy. It was called candy creations. He had a blast making this beach. His brothers really liked eating the candy. Jacob's teacher liked it so much that she asked him to take it to the office so that the whole school could see it. This is Jacob at the science fair. His project was shaking cream to make butter. He had to see if cold cream or room temperature cream make butter faster. He found out that the cold cream made butter a lot faster. This was a tough project. It is not easy shaking cream for 17 minutes. It was a great arm workout. Jacob won 1st place at the science fair. His prize was $100. He was super excited.This is Jacob with a tool box that him and Chris made for one of his scout projects. He did a great job and they seemed to have had a great time doing it. This is Jacob after he was awarded his wolf, now he is a bear!

Jacob has so much fun with these projects. I am so proud of him!
