Baseball!

Baseball has come to an end! 

Brian coached Sam's team this year which was a huge commitment but he loved the group of boys and parents and had a great time. They played so well together and grew so much as a team. They didn't have a great district tournament but went in as the #1 seed. It was so much fun watching these boys not only play baseball but build friendships. I will miss these families!  

Sam is 10!

Hard to believe we've hit double digits! We survived a pool party and sleepover to celebrate!

Sam is changing so fast. He's almost as tall as I am… loving sports more than ever, reads books faster than we can check them out at the library and craves time with his buddies just being a typical silly boy. He's helpful, thoughtful and at times has a whole lotta attitude… we've hit the tween years. :) 

Love you Sam! 

End of baseball season!

Sam's team won the first game of the playoffs on Friday!  They only won 1 game all season but then something magical happened and they started hitting the ball really well and working together.  We had 3 games Friday/Saturday... they survived the heat and finished in 5th place overall.  :)

Baseball

 Sam had his 2nd game last night -- we have about 20 more to go.  Hard to believe!

So thankful for the other siblings there that keep my kids entertained!

Sam turns 9!

Brian took Sam and 2 friends to the University of Portland baseball game to celebrate his birthday Monday.  Sun, baseball, pizza and ice cream...Pretty much the perfect day!

1st Baseball game of the season...

 

Scorpions

Soccer is winding down for the boys.  Ben played his last game yesterday and Sam has one more before the season is over.  Sam's team hasn't had a winning year... but they do have great coaches and a fun group of boys.  They have come a long way since last year and it's so much fun watching them work together :-)

First day!

Here we go... the first day of school 2012!  Sam is going into 3rd grade and Ben into kindergarten.  Hard to believe!  Harper doesn't know what to think - she spends her days following them around and doing everything they do!

Last games - Alpenrose!

Sam's baseball team had their final two games last weekend at Alpenrose.  So much fun to watch them play on the main field!  They had such a fun season and a great group of kids.

Love note

Sam brought these 2 notes home last week from a girl in his class!
