Does the 360 stand for the number of days per year he'll play it?

Cole Schmitt - 2nd Grade

Faceball

Next time he'll try using his glove.

Fall Ball(s)

Baseball vs Soccer - votes?  Baseball for me, I have no idea what's going on in a soccer game.  Can I eat my sunflower seeds at a soccer game?

2nd Grade, 3rd School

Cole started 2nd grade today at Dilworth Elementary, which is now the 3rd elementary school on his resume due to re-zoning this year.  Didn't bother him...note the Dilworth t-shirt to show his instant loyalty...and Cole is game for anywhere as long as the bus takes him there.  It was a bit late today (Cole is perched on the brick wall watching for it), but it eventually made it...must have been that long haul from his new school.

 

Scooter Out, Bike In

Jessie blogged that Henry was all about the bike after the Hilton Head trip.  Ditto for Cole.  He was always partial to the scooter and had not taken to the bike...we had not even removed the training wheels.  Not so anymore...and yes, those are jammies.

HHI 2010

We just returned from our annual Lund family trip - this year was Hilton Head for the 1st time. It was a definite change of pace vs Disney - more of a stroll than a sprint. We're relaxed (as relaxed as I get anyway), tan and ready for...well, work (Jim), more summer (Cole) and jobhunting (Tia).

All Star Tournament Kickoff

Cole's South Park team started their All Star Tournament today. They won 16-1 (but they were a 7-year old team playing a 6-year old team). Cole had a great game - 2 hits and a couple of great plays at pitcher. Game 2 is tomorrow at 5pm...go South Park 7's!

7

Cole turned 7 a couple of weeks ago. He had a baseball game that night and received the 'game ball' for his performance. His birthday party was last weekend at Carolina Baseball Center - he had a great time w/ his ball team playing pickle, hitting in the cages and eating pizza and cookie cake. Thanks to Aunt Jessie for the great party invite...for other great invite options, visit http://www.announcementstoponder.blogspot.com/.

Spring Break 2010

Cole wanted to go to basketball camp during his week off from school. He was one of the smallest kids there, but didn't let that stop him. Note the Utah Jazz jersey (he's playing at the playoff-bound Charlotte Bobcats practice court).

Spring Baseball

Opening day was last Saturday - Cole is on the Braves this Spring and his team is 2-3. He is a completely different ball player this season - he was always a good player (he had zero strikeouts his first season in coach pitch), but his focus and hustle left something to be desired. He was the only kid last season that was booted from his position mid-inning...it was pitcher and had something to do w/ once a ball was hit he decided he no longer needed to pay attention. He's in it to win it this year...maybe has something to do w/ turning 7 in a couple of weeks. He was even referred to as 'bit hitter' yesterday when he got up to bat. Go Braves!

chairs

Do these go together? I'm struggling finding chairs that will coordinate w/ the two (on the ends) - I want a bench and they have one that matches this black chair. Does it look completely awkward and different?

holey 100 days

Cole had his 100th day of school a week or so ago. Jim and Cole made this t-shirt w/ 100 Cheerios glued tightly to the front. And to the back. Unfortunately they didn't put anything inside the shirt while they were working and the glue managed to seep through to the back of the shirt. I ripped it apart so Cole could wear it - what you don't see here is the back is full of holes.

And that's enough of that...bring on the heat.

Christmas in Chicago

Cole was able to spend some QT w/ Kenzie, Mason and Chewbacca over Christmas. Every morning when Grandma left for work, she would put Chewy in bed w/ me and Cole. Cole loves Chewy, Chewy is cautiously fond of Cole. She is especially happy w/ him when they're both asleep...
