We had Kaleb's opening day ceremonies on Saturday and it was a lot of fun. I was a little nervous because I didn't know what I was going to do. They actually called my name to get the players' pins and I had to walk in front of everyone! I was not expecting that. I was a little disappointed too because I was told that they were going to announce the teams and the palyers, but they didn't, so that was a bummer.
Here's a picture of Josh, Kaleb, Me, and Jason after the ceremonies.
Ben, Jenny, and the kids came down the night before so they could go to Kaleb's opening ceremonies. Kaleb was a little bummed he didn't get to hang out with them afterwards but at least they got to be together for a little bit.
They all got their face painted and got balloons. Kaleb and Colin of course had to have the same thing. They both got batman masks, Ally got flowers on her face, Kaleb and Colin got swords and Ally of course had a bad-ass flower.
Josh and I had to have our picture together.
And last but not least. I love to do take-your-own -picture type thing, so I was going to take a really cute one of me and Kaleb, and look who it is that snuck in. Some crazy lady thought she could just be all up in the mix. And that crazy lady is Michelle! Man o' man, that's my sister-in-law!
I have another picture that my nephew Colin snuck into, so if I get more of these I'm starting a scrapbook devoted to Where's Waldo type pictures.
I know this is a little late but it's better than never. Kaleb had his first awards assembly at the end of February. We received a paper saying he was getting a "surprise" award. I thought all the kids got awards. But when we got there I noticed not all the parents were there. So I was like I bet Kaleb is getting an award for reading. I help him a lot with his reading and sight words and he gets better every day. And sure enough Kaleb got the reading award. Josh and I were so proud. Susie came too and she's like, "that's my grandson!"
Next quarter I was hoping maybe he might get a perfect attendance award since all his absences were excused because he was sick. Well, you can't miss ANY days, excused or not. What kind of bull honky is that? So we'll see what award he gets at the end of the year. 
I like to think that I had a lot to do with Kaleb's reading and writing. So next time I'm going to get a damn picture with him.
