Last week we had Kieran in a week-long baseball (t-ball) skills class, and on Friday I went to watch the boys (all boys!) play the parents. Kieran's never played sports before beyond swimming, and this turned out to be a good experience for him.
Nicholas' favorite thing to do while Kieran was playing t-ball--ride "the horses"!
Kieran warming up to get ready to play the parents:
Up at bat!
Mike playing 3rd base--and Kieran on 3rd base
Mike's first experience playing t-ball...and his first run!
Nicholas watching the game
Up next to bat
Getting ready to run the bases 
Ari with her "mud slide"
Me with Kieran
Ari collecting seashells
Me with Nick (who, sadly, had a bit of a tummy bug this weekend so wasn't feeling great...)--notice the VERY wet Kieran behind me! Kieran, Beck, and the girls got absolutely soaked and sandy each time we went to the beach!
Ari looking for shells
Shelia
Myla
Ken burying Beck up to his neck!
Kieran and Mike
Nick with his "feather town"
"Cinderella's carriage" 
Myla's drawing of all six kids, and the ocean
The D-S family had to head out somewhat early on Sunday because they were driving all the way back to Idaho in one day! We were sad to see them go! 
Chris on Sunday afternoon 
Nick playing with animal puzzles
Mike reading Harry Potter #7 to Kieran--about halfway through!

In the early afternoon on Friday, we met our friends from Idaho to caravan off to the beach house. On the way, we stopped for Tillamook ice cream!

We had a really nice time with the Dengler-Shaws...Shelia and I were able to take a wander on Saturday afternoon to Nehalem and Manzanita while the men watched the kids. On Saturday night, the adults were even able to play a few board games! (Before children, we used to spend many a beach house evening playing board games!) All in all, a very fun weekend but alas too short!
