I’m the luckiest.
Momma is my very favorite thing to be!
The bestest
Happy Mother’s Day to the very best of the best! How else do you describe someone who drives 26 hours in a 48 hour time period just to watch two little league games and a soccer game? Yep, the best of the best!!
You can’t be beat GJ and we can’t wait to hug you again!!
Happy Mother’s Day to GJ, Susu, Lulu, Mrs. Susan and all the awesome moms in our lives!! We love you!
Ballpark buddies
Throughout the season we were so lucky to have some ballpark buddies for Samantha on our teams! She spent a lot of time getting dirty around the field and loving every second of it! The endless trips to the concession stand didn’t hurt either. I’m gonna go broke on $3 ring pops!!
She had Leslie Hails on Maxwell’s team and I can’t believe I didn’t get one pic of them all season! They were always too busy running around! On Spencer’s team she had both Pearson and Caroline. Love these sweet girls!
We spent a lot of days and nights at the field and I love that everyone can find someway to entertain themselves…even if that is by photobombing!
A fun season for all – players and spectators! Now it’s on to summer ball…we’re ready!
Make it a great weekend!
4th Grade Champs!
The Rays got to play in the finals last Friday night and they came to play!! The team looked great and played some of their best baseball of the season. I have to think it was in large part to the awesome decorations the moms got up! 🙂
Maxwell made the catch of the season during the game. Seriously! It was awesome. One of the other moms said it should be on Top 10 Plays on Sportscenter! I agree! Video here. Check out the balance….
Caught that ball like it was no big deal! Go Maxwell!!
The Rays won the game and earned that trophy!
Go Rays Go!

I’m so proud of this kid.
Struggle, perseverance, victory, defeat – learning it all on the ballfield! These are the days.
Congrats to the Rays on a championship season!
Go Rays!
Maxwell had a fantastic team with one of my favorite coaches in his grade, Coach Welden. By this age, you know most of the boys still playing baseball pretty well and the coaches are able to draft the teams pretty evenly. Maxwell had some great players and good friends on his team – can’t beat that! He played second base all season and had some great stops and catches.
He hit a bit of a slump mid-season and literally didn’t swing at a pitch for 2 (3?) games. Didn’t even swing. Sometimes it worked in his favor and he got walked, but he also struck out more than he should. We got him a few lessons with a hitting coach, got his confidence back up, and soon enough he was driving the ball again! Kid pitch is a very different ballgame and I think it just got in his head a little. He worked it out though and came back better than ever! I’m so proud of him.
They went into the tournament 5th place out of 6 teams but fought through to the finals! They almost had a shut out in the semi-finals! It was a great game and I sure do love to watch him play!
Final game recap tomorrow! Go Rays!
