June...

The month of June came and went fast! When it wasn't raining (which seemed like everyday, seriously we were stuck indoors a lot this month!), it was actually gorgeous out (the humidity hadn't hit real hard yet) so we took advantage of those few nice days and headed outdoors to play! Brian was gone a lot in June playing on the road, so we didn't have a whole lot of baseball games to keep us busy. We missed hanging out with him while he was gone so much, but we made the most of it tried to keep entertained! Here's a bunch of pics of us just hanging out in June!

After the game waiting for the guys on the field...Austin was off running around and Brooke is hiding behind me! Next to me is my good friend Katie (her husband is on the team too!), her mom, and her two adorable kiddos, Brady and Tessa!

Austin and his best buds here "The Ortiz Boys!" Their dad is on the team too!

Alex, Miguel, Austin and J.D.

One of the first games we went to after we got here, it was the first night these 3 got to hang out since seeing each other last season! They sure missed each other! Brooke, Tessa and Brady in the family room at the field waiting for their Dad's after the game!

Going home after the game!

Loving hanging out at bounce house land again!

A game against dad!

Brooke LOVES stealing our pens and paper and doodling all over!

Catching some zzz's...

I just love sneaking in when they are sleeping :)

Celebrating Father's Day! Brian was on the road of course, so it wasn't that eventful! We sure missed him though!

We love you Daddy!

(and Papa and Pop-Pop too!)

Brooke loves her hats!

Brooke snuck my phone out of my purse at a baseball game...she loves playing with my apps!

This girl is obsessed with binoculars. She uses her clapping sticks as them every game!

Walking out after the game with Daddy!

Me and my Brookie!

Brooke LOVES jumping up and down on Brian...of course she always does it right after he eats too!

Throwing rocks into the sea!

Being goofy!

Love these two!

My favorite gift.

We finally took the plunge and bought ourselves a dishwasher for our apartment!!! After 2 1/2 seasons of not having one, I am loving it! Sure it doesn't fit much (and these are what you get here), but it's better than nothing!

Brooke, Austin, Tessa and Brady going crazy in the balloon room at a play center!

They have these "play centers" in the malls here in Japan, you pay around 3 dollars or so for 30 minutes of play time and the kids get to run around and burn some energy on all the fun stuff...it's great when it's raining out!

weeeee!

The kids always find their Ipods and sneak off somewhere to watch them together (they don't get to have them just whenever they want so I always hide them, but they always find the darn things when I'm not looking!)...they actually share these though, which is just shocking! I love how cute they look though, snuggling, watching together :)

I caught you!!

At the school grounds by our apartment saying hello to the fish again!

The fish had babies while we were gone, Austin and Brooke love seeing all the little fish in the koi pond now!

Playing a game of ball at the school!

Brooke loves the fish pond!

Austin took this :) This was me at 30 weeks!

Enjoying a beautiful night out at the park!

This is as close as we get to having a backyard here in Japan...we love spending time here!

Brookie and Austin just hanging out...

Tessa and Austin getting their feet wet at the beach!

Cooling off at the beach!

Hanging out on the ferry boat to the aquarium!

Austin, Brooke and Tessa playing at the fountains...

this was a crazy day, it was extremely hot all morning, I mean, super, sweaty hot. We took the kids to the fountains to cool off, and about an hour later, these insane clouds came in from no where and it just started pouring on us in a matter of seconds!! We literally had to sprint home (which was about 10 minutes away!) in the hardest rain I have seen! Thankfully it was warm, but we got SOAKED! It was hilarious! I can only imagine what we looked like...3 moms (me very pregnant) running down the streets of Japan, pushing our kids in strollers through deep puddles...I am sure they thought we were crazy!
