Spring Break with Grandma

It is April break from school and Grandma is holding down the fort.  It is amazing how much they fit into a day and they are all still smiling at the end of the day.

Even important stops at the Library.

Thank you Grandma for making the break fun!!

Walpole U9 Tournament

Yesterday was Garrett's first experience with playing in a baseball tournament and boy was he geared up and fired up.  They came away from the day with 1 win and 1 loss.  Due to the run differential, they proceeded into the next round today.  

Garrett was the starting pitcher today and he didn't disappoint.  He pitched lights out.

As lead off hitter, he did his job by getting on base each time at bat.  You are simply phenomenal to watch.  

They won a nail biter to send them to the semi finals.  

In the semi finals, it came down to the last batter and unfortunately it didn't go the Hurricanes way.  It was amazing to watch the team pull together during this tournament and really show their best stuff.  As usual, Garrett was a fantastic teammate and played his heart out.  Great Job!

First Club Baseball Season

It is early April and the boys are heading out for their first club baseball games.  Don't they look fantastic.  We wish you a great season and are so proud of how hard you work.  Go Get Them!

Hold on Ladies - we have a lot of baseball ahead of us.

Picture Day

it is Picture Day!  Emily is on prep team 1 this year so the hair and makeup need to be spot on.  She is so excited to be part of the team and loves dancing with her friends.  Emily wanted to see how her hair was looking in the car so we took a quick picture to check it out.

Uniform picture time.

They practiced their jazz and lyrical dances while waiting for their pictures to be taken.

Love seeing that smile.
