Enoch Turns 7!

Enoch requested a MATH themed party for his birthday this year. (Yes - he's a math lover!) It was a lot of fun! I made an invitation for the party that read: "3+4 = 7, Enoch = 7 too! Come help him add it all up! He'd really like to play with you!" Here are a few pictures from the festivities.

Enoch and I made this pinata for the party.

Enoch wanted to decorate his own cake this year, which was fine with me! I got him some sparkly gel and some sprinkles.

Musical Chairs

Enoch got silly string for a present from a friend, and Duane decided to "test it out" all over the kitchen. I think he must have used half of it before Enoch could get his hands on it.

Baseball Update

Enoch finished up his baseball season a couple weeks ago. His team did an amazing job! After his first two games, we saw a big improvement, and Enoch got on base almost every single time he was up to bat. His last game they played the only undefeated team of the league and won! His coaches took the games very seriously, so they were very happy with that last win, and gave the boys a pizza party with a bounce house at the park! He came home with a treat bag and a new baseball. Wow! Great job Enoch!

Summer Fun

Enoch's Field Trip

I attended Enoch's 1st grade field trip with him at the end of May. We went to the Coral Pink Sand Dunes. About 20 minutes from our house, north of Kanab, there is a turn-off to go to the sand dunes. After you turn off you drive about 30 minutes through desert and come to the sand dunes. It was pretty cold and windy (especially for being the end of May), but we had fun and got covered with sand anyway. Without trying we all took home some souvenir sand...

Baseball Season Has Begun!

Yesterday was Enoch's first baseball game. He played shortstop and 2nd base. He did a great job at stopping the ball, and throwing it (even if he wasn't sure where to throw it.) And he did a great job at his one time batting (even if he did strike out - we're blaming it on the pitching machine.)

He is on the Cincinnati Reds coach pitch team with other boys his age. The next month and a half is going to be busy - an hour and a half practice twice a week and one to two games a week. But it's going to be fun! His coaches are three guys from our ward that also have boys on the team. There are also some boys from his school class on his team also.
