Sports Everyday

This year all the kids are so involved with sports that I have been taking it for granted.  Less pictures but we have been there cheering them on. Emily has been playing soccer and is now four games in with 4 goals - one on each game.  She has amazed us all.  The boys she faces don't realize what happened when she weaves her way through and scores.  Thanks to her brothers for all the training.

Garrett has been playing soccer and baseball.  He is always busy scoring goals - one game he scored three.  He plays goal to goal and sideline to sideline. There is no part of the field that he doesn't cover.  Love the hustle and the determination.

What can I say about baseball - love the stance and the competition level. Always wanting to do his best especially to please his tough coach.  (Of course that is Daddy). 

Connor has continued to amaze us everyday.  His baseball skills have exponentially grown and his compete level has skyrocketed. Triple AAA has been no problem and he proves to be a great teammate every game. So proud. 

Of course he also play for his Tottenham soccer team and several coaches have told me that his skill level has improved greatly. Connor that is amazing.  The coaches that talked to me aren't easy to impress and you did it.  So impressive. 

I do have to apologize because I am so busy cheering that I forgot to take any pictures.  Oops. 

Emily's Graduation

Emily has had a big month this May but the biggest event was up last.  Emily is graduating from preschool and we couldn't be more excited.  

In anticipation of the ceremony, Emily is waiting with her friends Maggie and Olivia.

The family awaits the graduates.

First down the aisle, Emily and Joseph.

The class put on three short plays and sang five amazing songs.

What an amazing smile!

Emily your performances were fantastic.  

Emily received her diploma from Mrs. Fields and proudly presented it to the audience.  

Congratulations Emily!

Our graduate!

Great Bear Race

This year the boys are off playing baseball but Emily wanted to participate in the Great Bear Run.  This year 4 year olds had to race 100 meters to the finish line. 

First stop, the face painting booth for a flower headband.

Getting in line to start the race.  

On your mark, get set and GO!

Emily took off so fast - she left Connor and I in the dust.  We tried to race to the finish line but Emily beat us by a mile.  When we found her, she finished in second place and was proudly wearing her medal.  Incredible!

Amazing Life Dance Recital

Today is all about Emily!  Emily had her recital where she performed a tap dance to Uptown Girl and a ballet dance to Seasons of Love.  I can honestly say your smile lights up the stage and I love watching you perform.  

An amazing job which deserved some beautiful bouquets of flowers.  

Loving her Hugs from Daddy.

So proud of you - what a happy day. 

Goal!!!

Our little girl has had a phenomenal soccer season.  Emily has scored a goal in every single game so far this season.

Emily I love watching you out there having fun.

State Fair

The third grade presents the State Fair every year.  Connor, Eliot and Ben presented a fantastic presentation about Alaska.

Then a singing presentation - it is great to see what the kids have been working on and getting to see all the kids interacting.

Opening Day Game

Who is the opening day starting pitcher for the Nationals Triple AAA team?   Number 1. That would be our man Connor.   As the youngest player on the team, what a remarkable accomplishment.  

Two innings well pitched and also the lead off hitter.  We love to watch you play and love seeing that smile on your face.  

Opening Day Parade

Spring baseball has finally arrived and we were ready for the Opening Day Parade.  I may be biased but my boys are looking sharp.  

Emily is the boys biggest supporter and she couldn't wait to cheer them on.

Hi Daddy and Garrett!

Connor almost made it by us before we saw him but look at that smile.

I think the kids are somewhere in there.  It was a beautiful day and definitely fun to celebrate the start of another baseball season.  Good Luck boys!

Derby Time

Another Saturday and we were off to all the sports games for the kids.  Once again, we watched Emily have a stellar performance in soccer.

But the kids weren't the only ones having fun today.  Brian and I headed out to a Kentucky Derby party on this beautiful day.

A great event and a superb fundraiser!!

Elsa Anyone

The boys are off running their race and Emily is off to a birthday party.  So excited because it is an Elsa party.  Can you tell?

Third Grade Mayrathon

Connor did a great job asking for pledges from all of us.  He called everyone and personally asked and I am proud to give him donations because of his determination and professional way he raised his donations.  Now time to hit the course and run.

All the grade starting off and he is right next to his buddy Harrison.

Connor cruising through his third lap.  

Heartbreak Hill was tough but look who comes up it again. 

And now for the finish. 

All five laps completed.  Connor should be celebrating because he was worried he wouldn't be able to finish.  No problem.  

Celebrate!

And of course we found Emma too!

Super job - even with an untied shoe but that is your style.  We love you!
