Birthdays, Baseball, and the Beginning of Summer

In April we celebrated Griffin's 8th birthday, and less than two weeks later, Ethan turned 5.  What a great year it has been for those two!  They each hosted a friend birthday party (Dude Perfect for Griffin, and bowling and BWW for Ethan) and a Star Wars family party.  Here are a few pictures from the festivities:

Two "dudes" at their Dude Perfect party!

Griffin, Ethan, and all of the Meyer cousins.  Can either of them ever smile nicely?

I also asked them their yearly interview questions.  Their answers are below:

Griffin:

I would describe myself as - a sneezer
I wish - that Ethan's wouldn't be so rough

Another year older, and Aaron and I can't wait to see what this year holds for the boys!  And, in true Meyer style, we moved on from one sport to the next, basketball to baseball.  This is a special year, as Ethan began playing t-ball at PONY.  Here are some pictures from opening day:

Summer is now in full swing!  Griffin finished second grade at Prairieland, and Ethan finished K4 at Calvary Christian Academy.  In the usual morning rush, I did not get a picture of the boys on their last day of school.  Maybe I will be better next year . . .
