Lexie's Preschool Graduation

Lexie had a great year of Preschool at Lighthouse Preschool. She "graduated" on Thursday evening. They had a ceremony and then a family BBQ. It was very fun. Lexie has really enjoyed going to Preschool and was sad on her last day. She said she will miss her friends and teachers. She is also very excited to start Kindergarten in August. She is already asking if she goes to Kinder next week! It's going to be a long summer!! We are so proud of her.

Chase's Baseball

Chase's baseball team had a great year. Chase did awesome. He moved up this year to play in the 10 & U kid pitch league and he really showed he could do it. He played third base and usually batted third, fourth of fifth. He got two home runs this year and did awesome at bat. He can really rope the ball! His team came in second in their end-of-the-season tournament. It was a really close game.
Orioles

Softball Champions

Ciara's team, that I coached, won first place in the end-of-the-season tournament. I always knew my team had it in them and they sure stepped up to show it. They played 3 awesome games to win. We played two games back-to-back on Saturday when it was over 100 degrees and they fought through the heat. They were hitting and making good plays. My pitcher rocked it. She really did a phenomenal job. What fun!! It was a very busy season but I already miss it!

Mom's Visit

My mom came out from Oklahoma for a week to visit and celebrate my birthday. We were very busy visiting and going to softball/baseball games. The kids love getting to show Nana everything we do. She even went as Lexie's "show & tell". Lexie got stage fright and decided not to talk but Nana told the kids about her home and horses. It went so fast and I hate that she's gone already. To Mom: I Miss You!

Baseball and Softball

It's Baseball and Softball season. We have been so busy this season. Chase is playing on 10&U (kid pitch). His team is the Orioles. He plays 3rd base. He is doing fantastic. Lexie is playing t-ball and her team is the Red Hot Allstars. Ciara is playing 10&U softball and her team is the Stealers. Ciara plays 1st base and occasionally pitches. She is doing great. I am coaching both Lexie and Ciara. I am really enjoying it. It keeps us very, very busy though. We are finally in our last week of games and what a week it will be. Someone plays every night this week and Saturday. Most nights two play at the same time and Steve works the late train so he doesn't get home until after 9pm. CRAZY! Anyway, here are some pics of this year. Ciara playing 1st.Cici at bat.
