The best job in the world

Someone told before I had kids that being a dad is the hardest and best job you'll ever have. And for me, it's a career I absolutely love. 

To all the dads out there putting in work... Happy Father's Day!

Kinder grad

Max's last day of kindergarten was today, but we had a nearly weeklong celebration. We couldn't be more proud of our creative and sweet little soon-to-be first grader. 

Last Friday, both sets of grandparents came to Max's school for the kindergarten assembly. You can watch some cute highlights here: http://youtu.be/FvzkxCJyb-4

We then got a photo op with his K/1 classmates...

And amazing teachers, Ms. Kang and Mrs. Dayna. 

Then home for a nice family dinner. 

And who doesn't deserve a strawberry cake for knocking out kindergarten?!

The highlight of the day for the boys may have been the two-hour long water balloon fight. Sam was a trooper.

Here's to an equally crazy summer!

With the next picks in the MLB Draft the Mariners select...

Tastes like summer

A poet and he knows it

Max got a chance to showcase his artistic and poetry skills at a recent after-school event. His kindergarten teacher said he's a super creative kid... and not just when he poses for pictures. 

Play Ball!

Max's Little League team, which I help coach, came to the Mariners game on Sunday. In fact, the Blue Rockets helped get the game started.

Watch them yell, "Play ball," seconds before the first pitch. [video]

Now check it out from Isaiah's perspective, the kid with the GoPro in the front row. [video]

The boys did such a good job, they were MSN's Photo of the Day.

All in all it was a big day for these Little Leaguers.
